I found royalroad.com about a year ago, there's years worth of distraction on there assuming you're a fan of fantasy webnovels.

It's not a feeling of digital being "productive", it's that digital is effectively infinite. With TV you could get bored because there just wasn't anything you wanted to watch on at a given moment. With Digital that

One of the unwritten rules of driving is to try and not hold up or inconvenience the drivers behind you. People get aggravated with large farm machinery holding people up but understand that machinery has a purpose and needs to get from A t

Well I got online around 98ish so I've been around for a while and seen close to around 25 years worth of development, which I'd say is the majority of the webs lifespan. And I re-iterate, whatever and however many sites there wer

There were a huge amounts of niche sites written to answer questions on niche topics. All with the aim of being helpful enough to get google to send them traffic they could monetise with ads. Many of these sites were peoples hobbies which t

So I use 4g net connection here in the UK and just tried to load what I assume is the site? coedcherry.com? I got a vodaphone (uk mobile phone co whose network I'm apparently connected via) nag page asking me to confirm me age, we prot

Best I can tell, you can't create image posts on NSFW posts via the New Reddit Desktop Site. You can via the mobile app.

As you said, the readers get quantity and honestly above all else that's what they want. They already enjoy the stories enough to buy them or support patreons for them, I don't think trying to up the quality would be wise for the

At a mechanical level isekai in webnovel form lets you introduce the reader to a new world much more quickly and easily than if the MC were in that world with no reference to our own. It's why I think it's so popular, especially w

I wonder if we end up back at paid answer sites. That is, any question GPT is unsure or doesn't know could be pushed into some kind of StackOverflow style q&a to resolve by real humans.

Even in countries that widely and overwhelmingly supported mask mandates pre-vaccine I don't think that support would extend to an indefinite mask mandate.

I would say the main issue is that these people have very bad self esteem problems coupled with being introverts and the modern online worlds ability to endlessly distract you. In the past, pre-internet most of these people couldn't li

I wonder what the cause of that is? I think I've heard this sentiment elsewhere recently but I don't recall it in the past. So what's caused the capacity constraint?

I don't think it causes it. I do think it reinforces both if that's how you're inclined.

We know what that is, it's self driving cars you rent by the trip uber style. The technology just isn't there yet, but that's the thing that will get rid of a lot of private car ownership eventually.

You could, it wouldn't make a bit of difference to inflation in the US so I'm not sure why you would?

by dageshi 4y ago
The only way to really kill inflation is strongman signaling. The market has to believe you are willing to endure the pain and keep raising rates in order to kill inflation. And the mistake earlier was basically propping up the world econom

> The shielding system was an official policy in the UK Yeah, it still didn't and doesn't work though. Carers will have families, they'll have children in school, they'll potentially have more than one job. You can&#x

by dageshi 4y ago
Can't see that as ever working. There'd be no practical way to shield the vulnerable or the carers and beyond that if it's left to run rampant in the wider population eventually the medical system is overwhelmed and collapses

Is anyone doing better than Google at self driving cars right now? I agree with the other products you mentioned but it seems like nobody has "won" self driving cars yet but google might be the furthest along?

They hate it for good reason. The narrow bank would be safer than US Treasury Bonds. In a financial crisis similar to 2008 this would amplify chaos as money drained from all other investment classes into the narrow bank at a time when the g

Perhaps the creators have better things to do and ran the service till it was no longer viable. Which seems entirely reasonable for a free service?

I cut out actively searching for news completely, I'm infinitely happier for it. All reading the news ever did was make me upset about things I couldn't change.

Top Tip: Nearly everything in the genre and all the books I mentioned are in kindle unlimited. It costs $10 a month (or about that) and you can download and read as much as you want that's on the service. If you find something you like

The litrpg readership accepts that they're all objectively "bad", they just ignore that fact and keep reading. Then wish the authors could pump out more than 1500 words per day so they could have even more.
