Oh that's a certainty. They said regulators twice. It was no accident, they are telegraphing just how hard they got smacked behind the scenes. Extremely likely that the FAANG lobbyists went into overdrive. The big guys know this will b

I am not price sensitive and Aldi’s is great. First, most of the missing food products are the sugary highly processed junk food that I don’t want to wade through, plus there are a good number of euro items that I prefer. Second, I don’t ha

And there is a reason for that as TJ’s and Aldi are owned by brother German companies, Aldi Nord and Aldi Sud, and both operate on the German grocery model.

At the risk of being overly simplistic, why not go have kids then? If your partner is unable, you can adopts or have a surrogate. If your partner is uninterested, you can find a new partner. I don’t have kids and don’t plan to. I know my pa

I have found one solution. Take time off, like 6 months or a year. You need to take so much time off that you start to get excited by the idea of going back to work. Do anything in the meantime. You could work a shop counter, travel, play v

I truly do not think so. I have experienced a handful of magic products, Apple products which are the best example, that are built from incredibly capable software that takes cheap hardware components and makes them sing. All objects could

Oh yeah I think it’s a basic human need, but not one I need to get at work. The workplace is a monetized environment. I provide a service and I get paid for it. If I’m not getting paid I’m not going to be there and will put my energy to muc

Not sure if you are in the US, but here what you are saying is absolutely not true for most people. Most of the country is so incredibly car centric that there’s absolutely no way you could bike 30 miles across a city. And then in most plac

That’s nice for you, but you will not be dragging me into the office just because you need people staring over your shoulder to get any work done. I’m not your motivation coach unless you are paying me to be. Seems you want your coworkers t

Yes, you are learning to discard the HR corp bullshit and face reality. Humans are flawed, humans can’t do everything equally well, humans get sick and hurt. And more than anything, humans are a product of their environment. Great outcomes

Because it works perfectly fine in the browser? Because I don’t want all the notifications and OS integration an app brings for a simple website? Because I know they are using the app to further track me and steal more of my time? Because I

That was also my thought. That the world has gotten a whole lot less sanitized since 1989 if an article so brutal could fail to change my impression of war very much at all. I had already internalized that every heroic portrayal was bullshi

I think this is a really legitimate question with a complex answer. At the end of the day, Covid is one of the most contagious diseases out there. It has terrible impacts, but China’s policy is like trying to hold back the rising ocean with

In all seriousness, you need to put a block on national and international news. Cut it out 100% for at least a month. You are consuming poison and it is killing your mental health. Just stop. You can’t affect it and your attention does not

While I’m unsure if this is satire, I am all in! A pre-sentient language model would do a great job attending meetings on my behalf. It could also probably do a better job chatting about sports than I can and could send me a daily summary e

Sure, the moment I am promoted to CEO of this Fortune 500, I will send along all staff a pamphlet on effective meetings.

It very much depends on your meeting culture. I suppose in the ideal world, everyone should be intently paying attention because the meeting was relevant and focused. In my world, meetings go on for hours, everyone invites the kitchen sink,

How about those other cities build the housing that SF won’t? There nothing stopping them. And those cities could benefit from the new high income residents. How can “we should all be poorer” be a good solution to high housing prices? There

Simple, build this new city next to a water resource, not a desert and build it from the ground up to be low water usage. Manage runoff and limit single family home zoning with large yards. I bet you could make it several times more efficie

How about build some new cities that allow high density and public transit? I swear Americans always think they could never survive without free parking. You are absolutely not running out of land out west.

Or the system failed by hiring him in the first place for a job he was unsuited for? Yes, I agree this was a systems issue that paired the wrong students with the wrong teacher. Maybe he should have been teaching an upper level course where

Ummm, yeah sounds about right! Most of the time, systems fail, not people. People are extremely responsive and committed to their environments. Bad environments yield bad outcomes. If gen z has stopped blaming themselves for things outside

Google is absolutely not going to start taking more risks. They are at the part of the business lifecycle where they squeeze the juice out of the cash cow and protect it jealously in the meantime. While Google gets much recognition for this

This is amazing. It sounds like the summary is that they turned matrix multiplication of various sized matrices into a kind of game, then had AlphaZero, the game playing AI, play the game and find optimal strategies. The new optimal strateg

Perhaps in the short term you do nothing. It will be many years before this moves from “toy” to “tool”. The industry is made up of humans and humans adapt at human speed. You don’t have to outrun the AI bears, you just have to outrun your c

Could Hubble be feasibly operational past 2037 without maintenance? Would this just be a boost mission or repair also?

Absolutely. This exists. My Eufy devices have on board looping storage. A well designed camera that has battery backup and local+cloud storage would work in any situation except where a thief jams the Wi-Fi then steals the cameras. But at t

This is a great insight into why Google completely failed to compete with established game industry titans. They don’t get the industry, don’t get the customers, don’t get their partners. Doing a rug pull on another company’s monthly active
