Its ironic that the Superman comic, where in the end Superman says "this seems monotonous" also is the perfect critique of the article. The qualitative, non-quantifiable parts of what we do for a living are equally important. Who

Why do many people have a knee-jerk reaction against the humanities? I'm genuinely curious what others think. I mean - where do they think Game of Thrones, The Wire, The Sopranos, i.e. all of our culture (popular and otherwise) come fr

I think the books towards the end of the series, or if you prefer to start fresh, the Dirk Gently detective books, have more depth to them. I think they have quite a bit of pathos and there's some real reflective sadness which fills ou

It's an interesting question for sure. There are issues of consent which, especially for poor or marginalized people, should be addressed. Like Henrietta Lacks... I think in this case and others like it the family, at minimum, has a ri

The author lost me at "The only culture designed for people between 40 and Ω is prescription drug ads and unreadably dense literary novels." If anything I think things seen by younger people as "unreadably dense" often u

That's like arguing it's OK to beat someone up since they're going to die anyway, and dying obviously is way worse than getting beat up.

Regardless of "origin story", I'd argue for the (non-CGI'd) original film to be viewed first. The reason is that it contains all the essential themes, visual motifs, and characters. To me it still feels like the "co

What about experience? If nothing else (and there is else), it's reasonable to think that someone from a group which has been discriminated against may have more insight about battling systemic discrimination and racism (i.e. diversity

I would argue that Apple's reputation for quality design - reliability, build quality, simplicity (though these may be changing), along with first-class industrial and UI design - is what drives their products. The definition of a &qu

What would that look like? Can you describe it? It's not very useful to say stuff without providing some sort of useful idea. You can't just say "someone should write some sort of stupid content tracker, and give it some rand

I also am not sure what major advantages this brings. And the article was slightly unclear in that you can add Docker environment variables to your `.bash_profile` -- you still are dealing with environment vars, but don't have to run t

Success isn't what it looks like. Meaning, the image of success is not true success (personally meaningful success), and true personally meaningful success doesn't look like the oft-projected successful image. It takes real effort

The disaster was man-made due to TEPCO's negligence in planning for predictable contingencies and due to their post-disaster behavior. This is from the Wikipedia article on the Japananese investigation into the disaster: https:/&
