In most cases it's not even censorship -- it's just some combination of an attempt to squeeze these non-EU companies for as much as they can get and good old fashioned virtue signaling about protecting consumers from things that m

Oncall health is another good reason to increase team size -- having a 4 person rotation where everyone is oncall once a month is much less sustainable than an 8 person rotation where you're oncall once every two months

If you want to get specific... let's take Kroger, one of the largest grocery chains in the US. Their typical net profit margin is in the 1-2% range. I'd wager that in 10 years (2034) we won't see that go up substantially -- t

We see the kind of thing you're describing in a market like housing, but it only shows up there because of a strange combination of a) we live in a democracy and b) blocking new housing supply in desirable areas is hugely politically p

It's interesting right! And no small part of why I think what was predicted by the original comment will not come to be.

This is already a thing, at least in the US -- do you sign up for the "savers program" at your local grocery store? Generally this looks like filling out a form including your phone number to join it, and then inputting your phone

Is the implication that those who aren't talking about it are a set of people for whom experiencing jhana was net neutral/negative for the people around them?

You see the issue though with the approach you're advocating? "Oh spoiler alert, you will actually feel like you are being more sadder after you started meditating.... enjoy the process" So I'll start to not enjoy myself

What do you think about twim jhanas, which are similarly "light"?

I went on a Jhourney retreat with about a year of daily practice under my belt. I didn't reach jhana, and was a bit discouraged after finding out that almost everyone else around me had! I think around 75% of those who attended based o

I would argue that while there are some similarities, there are also many differences, and that claiming it's not distributive is incorrect. The number of workers I interact with (and to whom the money I spend flows) as a tourist is qu

Businesses are unable to plan around seasonality? What's up with that? In the US, businesses in touristy areas often will shut down for the slow season.

Probably not a popular answer but: leetcode Put in a couple months of effort (less if you're not as slow as me) to rememorize how to do those problems, and then apply them in any interview for any company that does leetcode questions.

You should be able to find the contents in your sent mail, no? search "in:sent". This is assuming you sent the email from your own gmail account (not sure how other providers stash away sent mail or if they even do).

Was I the only one who actually watched this movie? Her is not a dystopia. It's barely even cautionary. The main character seems better off having loved and lost than never having loved at all.

There's a hump around 2-3 minutes for myself. Once I get past that my skin gradually stops feeling like it's on fire and I can go for 8-10 minutes easy.
