Oh man, YouTube is such a godsend when it comes to learning so many things but it also promotes terrible behavior for those looking to monetize information that would be better served up as plain text. Anything physical, such as learning an

I would expect them to use their brains and understand that this is a word in a foreign language that has a completely different meaning than the offensive word in their own. Is that too much to ask for?

In some cases that’s exactly how it works. There’s a four way stop on a major commuter route where I live. Most of the traffic passes through it in a straight line and there is a major build up, like 20-30 min long during rush hour. In one

I am loving the QR menus, especially ones that offer check out. For one thing, I almost always feel compelled to go wash my hands after ordering, since menus are known to be some of the most germ ridden things out there. Besides that though

My sleep history has been all over the map and at times I've also gone for the sleep aids. I've tried all of the meds you've listed and none have been particularly effective when I've really needed them. You may want to

This is false. It’s like 2 clicks to stop incoming requests, same with Lyft.

There's a lot of very understandable confusion in this thread about the directionality of the unemployment-inflation tradeoff. It's not that increased employment causes inflation, but rather the idea is that inflation will increas

I find the topic of introverts vs extraverts to be extremely fascinating. My wife and I are pretty big introverts, but she is somewhat shy whereas I am not. She loved group exercise due to the external motivation factor but has actively avo

I learned from working in marketing is you have to let go of your biases and assumptions about user behavior. In the beginning I found myself constantly thinking "why would anyone in their right mind click on this ad", but we know

This made me think of studies that correlate growing up playing fast-paced video games, shooters specifically if I recall, with better driving down the road (drumroll). This correlates with my own experience, especially as I transitioned to

Who are these proposals coming from and what kind of traction do they have with voters? My answer to that is they are coming from politicians rallying their base for primary elections, knowing full well that the proposals are extremely unli

How's it disingenuous to propose that the government could do something with a wealth tax besides spending it on social programs? If we're talking about what leftist politicians would want to do with the money, then we shouldn&#

Musk, Bezos, and Gates would have access to all of the funding in the world for any future ventures. What the government could do is lower taxes on everyone else.

I'd also like to point out that we already have a wealth tax for everyone who would otherwise put their income taxes into savings. The lower the savings rate, the higher the effective wealth tax rate on the middle class. Assuming an ab

Why do you suppose these hires aren’t good at learning engineering best practices? I see comments like yours here all the time. Is it some kind of arrogance, perhaps amplified by a false signal sent by getting hired off leet code questions

You mention black and white colorization and that was my first thought upon seeing this. The statues are already super “photo-realistic” so I’m guessing this was a pretty similar process. On a completely different note, I am not sure what y

Out of curiosity, why can’t you go hiking? That seems like one of the few activities where you can just about guarantee social distancing by going to more remote areas. Is it explicitly prohibited? If so, I have to question the logic behind

I referred to not being willing to replace meat in general, not beef specifically, due to the difficulty in getting a similar mix of nutrients, not to mention things that you can't get from vegetables, period. Here's a small list

The energy per calorie is a very good insight that I hadn’t considered. I do agree that beef is a significant culprit and I tend to eat it rarely. But the environmental concern isn’t a consideration in my diet because it’s not something I’m

It’s not a myth. The article says that 2/3 of drivers highly value the flexibility arrangement. I’ve driven Uber for that exact reason myself. I’ve also spoken to many drivers and almost every single one has said something about “being

The chart in the article shows the median price of homes sold. Nothing about total real estate transaction volume which is what you’d need to look at to say that the market is “red hot”. Common sense would dictate that the only people spend
