Yea having a productive day is the best way for me to not feel stressed after I leave work and a great way to have bullet points for my resume.

Hmm. Well. Let’s see. 5th best healthcare out of the fifty states according to [0]. 1st best education system [1]. 7th by median household income [2]. Wow! 45th on the infrastructure list [3]. 37th on inequality [4]. So, seems like you get

If inequality is very high (say 1% own 40% of the resources), and a child inherits almost a percentage of the _entire society’s wealth_ just by birth then that select group of inheritances is receiving incredible portions of the accumulated

And his twitter @joeerl [0] which I feel unfortunate to have just discovered today is filled with him discovering emojis and dictation, talking up the joys of letters, and discussing FPGAs. It’s sad to hear of his passing, and rewarding to

I have a feeling breaks where you’re doing something relatively mindless (walking around the block, washing a dish, taking a shower, etc) would allow the mind to “breathe” and “digest” a bit better than a break on social media or the news.

The one about the CIA arresting or disappearing a man living in an Ecuadorian embassy in the center of London is interesting. Seems to imply the US can basically do anything anywhere and will if they want to, and really ignores the huge int

I don’t understand. You were saying you didn’t have as much money as your nearest peers and it was hurting your social life and making you insecure, and they handwaved it away as privilege??

Yea I think it’s extremely exacerbated inequality that’s a bigger issue than inequality itself. Total equality will never be a thing, but we don’t need to live in Banana Republics either I don’t think. That being said, without the Bezoses a

Hello all. Disclaimer, I do indeed work at LightStep currently. We're hoping to produce more technical content in the future and hoping to spur conversations about distributed tracing, but I thought this was a neat short read on how to

Yes because it’s always been the Democrats who’ve opposed making healthcare better. And the Democrats who started those wars. And the Democrats who give tax cuts to the wealthy. And the Democrats who get indicted for corruption constantly.

Ugh, the both sides are bad trope combined with a ton of “my feels” argument. There’s just a tremendous amount to unpack here. The United States is a vast, nonhomogenous, capitalistic culture with it’s fair share of issues. The war in Iraq

I don’t think anyone’s mentioned policing patriotism. You can be as patriotic as you want. America’s great, I love our nation, it’s people, culture, and ideals. That’s different from saying things like “get that Spanish off the menu, this i

I think what you’d want to do in a case like this is make legal the not WMD strength stuff at affordable prices and constant purity. The idea being that the heroin market could grow and reduce the demand for the fentanyls and carfentanyls.

Go back 100 years and the world’s most polluted countries would still be the ones rapidly industrializing at the time. Your comment seems woefully ignorant of history, which is okay, but the world hasn’t _just_ existed for the last four dec

I think it’s actually the agricultural centers. When I visited NAPA valley when I was younger you could see the smog blanketing the area. Not sure what exactly smogs up the air so foully there from the agricultural production but it seems t

One of my favorite things about NYC are the quarterly water resevoir updates. They test constantly (more than bottled water is required to) and release detailed reports about the state of things [0] Not only that but they'll send you w

Empathy _sucks_. But you're a better person for it, don't forget that. Life's a shitty wooden roller coaster that jostles your neck too much for most of us, but the alternative is not experiencing it at all. We're pretty

Wouldn't the insurance companies keep any float they'd received up until the sharp decline in coverage costs?

Certainly, but when it's ten or twenty jerry rigged drone bombs I'm not so sure it make a ton of difference. Swarm warfare is going to be cheap and interesting. That's why the US can spend a quarter million on IUD proof humve

I think it's the fact Google got no tax breaks (as far as I know) to do so.

Exactly. I didn't understand what the big deal was from the get go. In terms of impact on a regular residents life at least.

That's silly. Most of the people working there weren't going to live in LIC. It's not like that was going to be a requirement to work at the Amazon campus. Besides this sniffs of the "yea build shelters everywhere but my

To continue this thread I suppose... I've been thinking a lot about trying to purchase pasture raised and sustainable meat products lately and part of that has been buying pasture raised eggs. My last incredibly priced carton actually

What? If Amazon wanted a strong transportation system they could have demanded some of their tax break went towards that. They did not. NYC is already the second largest tech hub in the nation, as well as a global leader in a wide variety o

Good riddance. It irks me to no end that our system is set up to reward the largest and the wealthiest. NYC should have prepared a package for Amazon and said "this is what we'll guarantee in breaks to small business owners if you

Yea, if you need 25,000 employees in a sector your choices are pretty limited to the areas where there are tons of those employees already living it seems to me unless you want a difficult hiring process. I know I wouldn't really want
