Would you count Rothko under the solid colour canvasses? On paper they don't look like much, but the few that I've seen in real life somehow still really left an impression on me.

How did we get to the point where, after the introduction, the first point of advice in a guide like this is on avoiding burnout?

>all of the language in this article (until #8) is centered around you. You are supposed to take full responsibility for burnout. It is your choice. Your lack of self-management is causing your burnout. Yes, this! My company seems to be

Indeed, it's a nice setup but it's not what you expect from the title. You cannot put on a cap with three people and then start playing a game of Tetris by thinking and imagining alone. The game is on a screen for everyone. The bl

The article states that "In 2015, a total of 30,000 people nominated 590 famous visual artists for the £20 note, before JMW Turner was selected with the help of focus groups." so this doesn't appear to be the first time the p

How are people supposed to know all this about a new device that they have only read stories about? Even then, a surprising amount of people in my well educated affluent high tech bubble tape their laptop webcams closed because they don&#x2

Yeah, with the important difference that in sailing you lose speed (and heel) when heading into the wind, whereas a plane will go even faster towards the ground... Scary!

I think this is exactly one of the points the article makes: free food makes employees stick around longer.

But TurboTax has many other incentives besides making tax filings more efficient, including reselling user data, targeted ads for their own products, they might even have reasons to nudge you towards certain options and dark-pattern others.

Same in the Netherlands. These types of backwards laws make America look bad.

I guess the difference is that classic videogames make their money by a single purchase upfront. Modern MMO/F2P games need the player to get hooked and spend their money on loot boxes and outfits.

I've been wondering whether framing it like that (work vs life) is making things worse. I do it myself too, but what if those 8+ hours a day could actually also be leisure? Coworkers with young kids actually joke about coming to work t

To me it feels oddly pretentious and out of touch... Ozymandian I guess. Even reminds me a bit of the calendar that started 97 years ago: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Era_Fascista

> Dr. He’s university has disavowed knowledge or support of the research and said an inquiry is underway. Sounds more like an individual rogue action than coordinated effort backed by vision of "the Chinese".

I don't think it's very helpful to make such a distinction between people who "get it", and those who don't. It's a spectrum. Unless of course when it's relating to a disorder, like dyslexia for example.

Can we please come up with a more specific name for this type of expertise? A large-scale system can mean anything from a social security system to a rocket. I was a bit disappointed that it only concerns websites here (though I'm awar

I love ddg exactly because of the bangs! I make queries like !wiki (wikipedia), !gm (maps), !gi (images), !imdb, !yt, !gsc (scholar) directly from the address bar all day.
