Title is misleading, took more like 3-4 years of actual labor. Still a good story.

This doesn't really fix your "charge-while-listening" dilemma, but I'm surprised more people don't bring up just buying earphones that use USBC as input. No dongle to lose. Sure, they're a little more expensive

That's true, I guess I'm conflating "overtourism" specifically with a wider push discouraging people from travel to decrease carbon emissions. You make a fair point, there is plenty of the world left to experience beyond

Nope. I hate my current job and am trying to pick up some new skills in my spare time so I can switch, but its very hard to come home from my 9-5 and feel motivated to study a new subject. Progress is extremely slow and often feels hopeless

This, it feels very weird to me seeing people advocate for basically only allowing the super rich to travel. To a lot of people, travelling abroad isn't just about getting drunk at foreign clubs and leaving trash everywhere, but about

I'd really prefer stuff like this be in more of a slideshow format so I can easily go between time points and compare without having to scrub around the video and press pause/play, memorize what i'm looking at, then scrub aro

You could make the opposite argument as well, that if the market was "freer" or less regulated or whatever then anyone could build and supply would better match demand. It's a situation where you can skew the message whicheve

I'm glad they're approaching it in a way beyond just "make everything more expensive". It's interesting how when it comes to climate change, a lot of the same people who are otherwise committed to egalitarian ideals

I think an example would be for companies like Google who hire a lot of contractors from hiring agencies who do work at Google, but these people don't technically work FOR Google and therefore don't get the good Google salary or g

A lot of this information could definitely be framed in a different way to make it sound almost Utopian, I agree, but I think it is hard to argue against the idea that we're relying on technology more and need cybersecurity to scale up

I always see pictures of him in exotic locations/nature on his laptop, I wonder if he's actually doing stuff or if its just for the photo-op.

The text says 24-60 hours, but then in the table where they talk about the other studies being considered, a lot of them did 48 hour minimum and as much as 96 hours for some. When I saw the headline I was excited because a 16-18 hour fast r

I really think it's better to just have an up vote arrow and no down vote option, for questions at least. The only reason on a site like that to really vote something down should be if something is off topic or against the rules, in wh

People also have different ideas of what "hard" is. I've never tried setting up a mail server so I'm talking out of my ass a bit, but after reading the article it sounds like you'd need to do a bit of googling/

Looks like there is a forum for the site, which is now down due to the breach. I had no idea it existed, let alone had half a million accounts.

Surely you're not arguing that these ultra-marathons aren't niche compared to, say, the New York City marathon or marathons in the Olympics? It seems like a bad-faith argument to assume the person you first responded to is belittl

I think talking about it openly was the right thing to do. People are going to rag on them for this decision (though I assume most will understand) and you have more control over the message if you get out there first rather than waiting to

I don't think anyone doubts Epstein's guilt at this point. The conspiracy angle is more about who else among the "world elite" joined him in his crimes and tried to cover them up.

I don’t think what you’re saying is wrong, but all of these people live in the real world where accidents/sudden illness/etc do happen every day, so it would be nice to have some evidence beyond “this guy benefitted from this othe

I'm not sure the article supports the title's claim that women scientist biographies are more likely to be removed. The only evidence provided is that one woman wrote 700 articles about women scientists and 6 were removed. I'

Not quite "AI generated", but Dunc's Algomusic[0] is free. I don't think you have THAT much control over how it sounds beyond picking different seed inputs. I find it especially great for weird/unsettling background
