...isn't that because people expected things to re-open on that date? All of those businesses ceased operation. It's not because people didn't want to go out. They couldn't even if they wanted to. I rescheduled a haircut

Yeah, another huge factor for me was just how unhappy all of the service workers were. But I don't blame them. There's no way they could afford to live within what you or I would call a reasonable commute. So they would trek daily

The food scene is definitely overhyped. Maybe if you are coming from the midwest it's impressive, but for me it was repeatedly a huge let down. There is plenty of hiking and skiing nearby but the point I was trying to make is that it w

This is why I left the Bay Area. To each their own. For me, the culture reinforced a sort of blind dedication to a company or a cause. Everyone you would meet or talk to would want to talk tech or entrepreneurship. You could tell they were

I agree that on the surface it seems like a pretty sad indicator of deeper societal issues. But I can see it being very helpful for children with various social disorders like autism. I don't have personal experience with this, but wha

Yeah the shopping "experience" on amazon is horrible. However, I don't think I have used an amazon product where the UX wasn't a mess...

This is the problem with most interviews. How can you make a determination if you don't have data to back up a decision. Interviews are pointless if you aren't planning on extracting information that determines whether the candida

I'm exactly the same way 100%. I've gotten incredible things done at startups and companies, where my work alone was floating the companies, and the products I created became the main product of the companies. But every time I rea

Agreed. How is it okay to brush off serious issues like this. Power cycling as a maintenance requirement is absurd. You don't sell someone a garage door opener for example and say "oh yeah, by the way, part of the ownership mainte

Yeah, that's a huge exaggeration. I've thrown out and started multiple starters over the years and they have been great after a month or so. Worst case, you can augment your rise by combining your starter with a portion of industr

I use a hand grinder, and a moka pot. My favorite type of coffee. Super simple and reliable.

I did a 10 day trek in Patagonia last year. Best experience of my life. I totally agree. Not having any any tech with me, allowed me to live in the moment. I remember every part vividly, and have some of the best memories spending time with

Yeah I've been avoiding Amazon lately. They just don't care. Literally every-time I need to rely on them for something, they screw it up somehow. Always a late or missing package, or something inconsistent with the order. Especial

I agree. It's an odd site. Initially I though I liked it and had an idealistic view of it as a perfect democracy. You quickly realize that no such forum exists, especially as it gains popularity... which you would think would make it m

They have approximately the same fat content as animal products. But not cholesterol. You probably wouldn't eat an animal burger everyday, so you probably shouldn't eat one of these daily.

The point is, meat is freaking delicious. You can't deny it. The smell of bbq will get most people drooling. Some people, you will never convince to eat veggies instead, especially if they taste way worse than the meat they love. But i

As a vegetarian or vegan, even if you don't like the taste or it's too meaty for you. I would imagine, you would want to promote the hell out of it. The point being, the more people you get to skip a meat meal by eating a veggie a

Sounds like Beyond burger and not impossible. The beyond burger tastes like paint and actually gets more red when you cook it. The impossible burger is red when raw, but turns brown and firm like beef when cooked.

I think this highlights the fundamental problem with hiring at many large companies. They think they are getting the best, but are they? They sure are overpaying for their employees. I think if OP isn't motivated enough to learn, excel

I agree that nuclear is a very viable option, but how viable will it be if it takes decades to get a reactor design approved, a location approved, multiple lawsuits over "I don't want that in my backyard", approval over fundi

I agree. I don't think you should do anything. The point is to create an economic incentive, not a short term tax for the hell of a tax and then undo the incentive with various patches. Yes right out of the gate, it will make things mo

These are great points. To add to these I think the roll of government is to legislate in the best interest of the people, whereas companies act in the best interest of their shareholders. This effectively is a check/balance for compan

This is a fascinating concept! On one hand it would keep companies from completely vertically integrating or expanding to encompass many verticals. Which would stimulate the economy in one way because more people would be exposed to the pro

As much as the market demands? I'm not sure what you are getting at here. If you don't want to consume the media you don't have to. There are plenty of other genres out there. I'm not trying to stir anything up, but just

What's the alternative? The people and companies opposing green initiatives have entrenched industries and money. They have been waging media and lobbying campaigns for decades. If it takes some people pushing their green agenda for pr

I've noticed in my experience that the Big Endian approach has been less successful for me in work environments. Another wrench in the system is that when you want to get things done, especially at a leadership level, you will come to

My dog was chased around as a puppy by an old lady with oven mitts. Now he gets anxious when he smells old people. So from my anecdotal evidence, I think they probably have a distinct smell. My theory is that the smell is distinct because o
