Aren't these just anecdotes though? What was their background? What time period did they do these things? Did they have support growing up? A strong network? How many other friends or neighbors do you have and what are their outco

Is it a good experience for folks with high latency internet?

The particular airport I was at was something else. Looked like it hadn't been changed / updated in 40 or more years, and had nothing more than skeleton crews working. I vowed to never fly Hawaiian airlines again, a nightmare al

My issue is I can't even sleep without it anymore. I used to be accustomed to the constant waking (since you have low O2 you typically forget), but I've had it for over 10 years now, so if I try to sleep without it I wake up cons

It's something that gets riskier the older you get. Folks don't understand how much of a killer it is since it's just reported as so and so had a heart attack and died in their sleep. Basically just rolling the dice as to w

Yeah, I have something like this, but wasn't thinking I'd be needing it this trip. Learned the hard way.

For me, the issue is I have severe sleep apnea. I was recently at the Hawaii airport and my layover got delayed 12 hrs. None of the power outlets worked. I was like, guess I'm not allowed to sleep. I was awake almost 48 hrs by the

I disagree. Some of the best teams I've been on are full remote teams. Some of the worst teams I've been on were in person teams. It depends on the people and the company culture. I'd argue if a remote team is having proble

I'd argue that regardless of WFH versus office, managers can't force folks to work. It's just that in the office they can pretend that they're forcing them to work, even when X employee is simply sitting in a chair. It

Yep, I'm in USA at the moment, but after my last trip abroad to a walkable city with transit I'm planning my escape. Not my first time being over there, but I'm finally like "why am I wasting my life over in car hell?&q

I have sleep apnea, not overweight. I wish there was more research poured into a solution that isn't pseudoscience junk or predatory. Grateful to the inventors of the cpap though, changed my life.

Wishing you the best of luck, but when I looked into this 10 or so years ago the long term success rate of surgery seemed dubious to me. I read that scar tissue ends up building up and making the problem worse than before, so it ends up bei

At least where I live, they have a huge teacher shortage, but the wages haven't moved. See https://www.kold.com/2023/02/23/study-shows-severe-arizona-t...

Saying it's supply and demand or market economy is burying the lede a bit though. A lot of underpaid jobs have leverage due to how the USA infrastructure / economy is structured, which is that it's difficult to move / ch

To be fair it's a recurring space opera theme, nothing particularly new.

Yeah, I think you have it. Folks, especially humans for some reason, want to pin things on single individuals rather than groups. Even though our society and it's grand accomplishments are things that typically only groups can accompl

It also keeps the base those that have the privilege to turn down other jobs and focus solely on getting hired at Amazon (or other FAANG) right out of college. A good chunk of folks (among whom exist great developers) are those that are foc

Yes, I was a young fit 23 year old, like, six pack abs and muscular. I finally got my sleep study, and I had 79 AHI! When I went to get the equipment, they thought I would be severely obese. It changed my life, but I worry how much long te

I think the issue with modern society when it comes down to it is we pretend we're not playing a long running game of monopoly when we are. There's a fixed amount of resources on Earth. It's weird to look at the new generat

That and I wonder if this person has a support system that allows them to self isolate? They still need to pay rent, etc.

Not sure I agree. Of the two places I've worked, the one who was hiding the metrics ended up having great financials and selling. The other said they had to do layoffs but would be fine until X years later. A few months later they lai

This is such a confusing stance. Can you elaborate?

I think I'd be more comfortable with it if the folks using PFAS had to pay into a fund to handle cleanup / treatment of folks affected. Right now they get all the upside with none of the downside.

I enjoyed attending in years past. Between the years, some of the content was largely similar, which is understandable. But always really well put together. Will miss the energy of those folks.

Check out "The Tyranny of Metrics" book for why this won't work. Weird to say it's simple.

Heck, even Chomsky is an anarchist. I don't know what the comment to you was insinuating, that we shouldn't fix things? Big https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/001/330/819/e4

Wait till folks realize how much contact government agencies have with nearly every company (leaking stories, spin, etc.). It's weird that it's turned into some sort of naive left vs right issue. I'd be asking what the goal i
