I sometimes remind myself that (i) I don't have to re-derive all mathematics from scratch and that (ii) there are always more problems to do.

That says little about Amazon. There’s a pandemic.

Amazon.de delivers to the Netherlands and Poland, for example. They offer Prime for the Netherlands too. And you can set language to English. No Amazon would mean I’d have to use comparison sites, make a bunch of accounts on different websi

Underrated point. In Poland grades often don’t matter at all (e.g. for university admission). Cheating is widespread in school (but not at final exams after high school). Meanwhile in US your high school grades matter for university admissi

Counterexample: I had to wake up at 6-6:30 am Monday-Friday for over half a year. I never adjusted and was chronically sleep deprived. Chronotypes can only be bended so much.

I strongly disagree. It's a little like saying "learn programming well enough and you'll know if some piece of code works as expected without running it."

Yeah, this announcement is clearly meant to overshadow NYMag’s investigative reporting.

Unless you’re the only student in a class others would get the same test or assignment.

It’s very common in Poland as well though probably not 100%.

In Europe almost all Starbucks locations have ceramic mugs. The only exceptions I’ve come across are at train stations and airports.

by TheTrotters 7y ago
Yeah, but you don’t drink a beer on a train in the morning or during a lunchtime walk.

by TheTrotters 7y ago
Yes, that’s very often the case in Europe (sometimes there’s no choice at train stations and airports) but I haven’t seen that in US.

It’s not nearly such a big deal in Tokyo. It’s only a problem in cities where local government limits the supply of housing.

by TheTrotters 8y ago
You’re confusing inflation with real prices. Inflation means that the level of prices rises. If house prices rise because local government forbid new construction then that’s an increase in real prices.

by TheTrotters 8y ago
That’s a road to not only maintaining the status quo but worsening the root cause. If you ask people if they’d like their home prices to fall and new people to move in, of course they’ll vote no. The problem is that many people who are hurt

What you describe is different that the topic that came up on HN recently. In that case the author decided that he wants to have someone monitor him. That’s completely different than having a manager constantly look over your shoulder.

But then you have to ask yourself why this surge in demand for real estate in urban areas hasn't been met by a corresponding surge in supply? Why aren't developers building new apartment complexes as fast as they can to cash in? T
