Don't you think this is due to economical reasons and not necessarily pessimism?

Maybe you're right. Even if the clock is off, I always assumed the wearer was at least able to read an analog clock.

I inherited a mechanical watch from my grandmother and I can't stand it when it's even 1 minute off, haha I'm quite young so I didn't really live with analog clocks but I got used to it because the watch is cool and I mi

Luxury watches are analog. Maybe people 50 years from now won't even know if the clock is telling the time correctly and will just wear the watch to show off...

"Endure" which I highly recommend to anyone ever slightly interested in human performance. "The Way of Kings" by Brandon Sanderson. Beautiful world-building as always. And some others that I can't remember but those

From my experience, TVs are not as ubiquitous as they used to be 10 years earlier. However, one must acknowledge that you can now watch "TV" on almost all your devices.

I agree with your comments. The person denied the fries without adding anything and left. This makes everyone who heard that the beggar didn't need food. Otherwise he'd have asked for something else (even food from the supermarket

If they told you it was to buy drugs, would you still give them money? It's not different from giving them the drugs directly. I would personally prefer to give money to someone that needs it to eat.

> Because fast food restaurants get a lot of foot traffic Which isn't their strategy because the beggar spent probably 2 minutes in the restaurant. It's not rare to see a beggar ask for money to "get food", get offere

I completely get your point and you are right. However, understand the context: the beggar entered a McDonald's and asked clients that were currently eating for money. He got offered the fries of a woman who didn't finish them. So

Oh I'm not saying they don't. But I think you can understand why it's ridiculous to give money to someone and see them buy drugs. So if you give them food directly, you're certain where your money goes. You also eliminat

Guess what they got with their behavior? Nothing. No food and no money.

I think parent commenter was talking about random people "working"[1] for charities and stopping you on the street. If one wanted to donate, why would they do it through a stranger on the street and not directly to their website?

Their point is that despite being the designers of such systems, they prevent their own children from using them. Akin to a drug dealer not consuming what he sells.

I live in Europe so it's still very much considered pedestrian-friendly, but cars and roads scale so bad. Especially with population density going through the roof in bigger cities. I wonder how it's going to look like in 50 years

No, because they are not exactly correlated with your gains . For what it's worth, you could have an unrealized deficit but still owe taxes. That's why it's a wealth tax and not unrealized gains tax. Real estate is included

Sorry I just noticed my auto-correct has been playing tricks. I meant "You can't even call someone who lives in Chiba a Tokyoites". Even someone close to Tokyo. Holy hell.

What is the point you are trying to make? Are you saying that we would need to have someone on payroll to have a usable machine? Then why not just have... a SysAdmin? Shared instances is something even European "cloud" providers c

I do not like the current definition of Tokyo has being Tokyo Prefecture and all adjacent prefectures. Tokyo itself is made up of wards—each of those considered cities in their own rights—and even a countryside. People living at the far end

People will believe/remember/see only what they already believe is true (confirmation bias). Echo chambers of today don't help, either.

Java Concurrency in Practice[1] has always been recommended by my colleagues. I'm about halfway through it and I think it makes the concepts pretty clear. Even if you move away from Java one day, I think the investment is not lost at
