It's an incredibly weird thing to describe. Especially when externally, you can act exactly the same but your internal perception of things is haywire. I've often gotten AiWS when doing job interviews or other intensive face to fa

This seems like politics as well. I know a lot of people with well-formed, thoughtful opinions that I think would do a great job making laws, but have enough self-doubt/disinterest that it's never going to happen.

100% this. I studied abroad in Istanbul, and when I was there I was blown away at how normal it was to either study abroad, study abroad multiple times or take a gap year abroad. It seems like a given to Europeans that they will do somethin

I have been recently considering getting my genome sequenced. It seems like, if one of my main priorities in my life is longevity, this would be one of the most cost-effective ways to find out what factors are likely to influence that, and

This is my strategy as well. Keep a Nalgene topped up with water and pee like 10 times a day. Coworkers might raise an eyebrow, but who cares. It works great because of the power of habit--it's easy to sip a little bit of water every f

Instantly signed up for your mailing list. Was super bummed to see there was only one article on your site! Also, I think you can hit a great niche. I've never found any sort of super qualitative examination on social interactions like

Was just about to post asking the same question. If you look closely, is this just the result of some MSFT PM trying to meet some quantitative metric for Edge usage? Or is this the result of a coordinated decision, approved by multiple leve

Agree. Having done the course, I think a text summary does a good job of getting to the big ideas (I don't really like learning via video fwiw)

Why don't you support Firefox? > You can import the mockups from Sketch or Figma How do I import Figma designs? I tried the Sketch import, doesn't work through that. Excited to use this. Congrats on your launch.

Cool idea! I like that the data is pull-requestable. Have you thought about Duolingo style comments, where users can add comments for clarification/context? I find this very useful to get a better understanding of why something is (i.e

I've had the same experience. Especially if you get into using more and more niche packages (plugins for Leaflet), it can get ugly pretty fast.

Awesome idea. My zip (59718, MT) shows 250 miles away as the nearest food. Definitely as others have pointed out, needs a lot more data to be viable. If you are to take this more seriously, maybe target a single community and connect with l

What if you can't taste it because your local grocery store stocks its beer selection based on what beers are the best according to the beer review site owned by ABI? It's not as simple as "just make a different choice",

Wow. That's incredible how psychedelic these images are. I'd be really curious to learn more about the link between these two seemingly distant subjects.

Yes, I think this is the solution. Do not conform to the pre-existing culture. Force a new one. Through marketing/consumerism, sheer numbers of self driving cars on the road, I don't care. The current culture needs to die. It&#x27

Hah. I live in Montana, and I find myself lusting sometimes for the inundation of tech in SV. I wish I could nerd out with more of my friends, instead of talking about hiking/skiing/whatever. I guess the grass is always greener :)

I've always joked about doing this, but I'm surprised to hear this actually works for you. How long have you been doing this? How far do you go for your vacations? What kind of team do you work on?
