You don't think running with, say, an extra 50 lbs of weight is more difficult?

Thank you. The revisionism in this thread is ridiculous. There was no oppressive regime forcing you to do anything. There were common sense, effective public health recommendations for mitigating a novel virus that spread faster than anythi

I like the physical act of going some place that isn't home, wearing clothes specifically for work. It creates a "time to get things done" focused mindeset for me.

Inflation is at 2.5%. Unemployment has bottomed out again at 4%. The stock market has been making all time highs. The fed is lowering rates.

Is there a source for this data? I personally always use ChatGPT over Google.

I'm not sure what the name of this fallacy is, but I fall prey to it all the time: the fallacy that everyone else values what you value. I can't stand fiction. When I read a self-help book, but it's laced with stories, I lose

It's intentionally engineered to be as emotionally provocative as possible, to drive engagement, to drive and revenue. My For You feed kept turning into videos of public fights and Karen's calling the cops, etc. no matter what fee

The Holographic Principle is the idea that our universe is a projection of a higher dimensional space, which sounds an awful lot like the total simulation of an interactive environment, encoded in the parameter space of a neural network. Th

Those reasons are sufficient for me. I'm not contributing my traffic to benefit someone I believe is actively working to corrode democratic institutions.

I just ask each person I interview with: * "how's your work life balance?" * "how often do you work outside hours? Is there an always-on culture?" * "when is crunch time and what does that look like?" * &q

> there's no space... between me and it. Now consider that the idea that there is a "me" perceiving the screen is only an un-investigated assumption, and that this "me" is actually only implied by whatever object

My cousins in France each have 3-5 children, because they have free daycare, socialized health care, etc. I plan on having none, because I can't afford it. Every wealthy nation sees a declining birthrate that falls below the replacemen

From an investing perspective, that's fairly foolish until the financial liability of the company has been assessed.

This is really cool. Feels completely different from the way we consume music now through Spotify... love the exposure to music from across the world!

See, the difference is politically-motivated investigations YIELD NO CRIMES WHEN NO CRIME WAS COMMITTED. Today's ruling is a solution to a problem that no one has actually had for the last 250 years, and which no one currently has.

That's the problem. The ruling provides no guidance whatsoever, so as long as a President can make the case, it's an official act.

by electrondood 2y ago
This hasn't been a problem for 250 years, and it's still not a problem anyone has. This ruling serves one specific purpose: to protect one single person from the consequences of their crimes.

Not only that, but this same court removed the constitutional right to an abortion because it wasn't enumerated in the Constitution. Now, they completely invent criminal immunity out of thin air (which btw was never necessary in the la

In software development, one of the biggest smells is being asked to implement a solution to something that isn't a problem that anyone actually has. In 250 years, for 44 presidents, not one of them has needed immunity from criminal pr

DoorDash is wonderful if you want to pay 30% more for the same item, and then add tax and tip on top of that. Restaurants pass on the platform fee to you. It's idiotic. Just phone it in directly and go pick it up.

The observer is implied by the observed, and has no inherent reality besides.

No offense, but there's a self-centered tone to your post that makes me think you're not able to take other perspectives, or acknowledge that there may be other priorities for different parts of your organization. "Failing to

The issue here isn't the employee behavior. It's that Wells Fargo imposed an idiotic culture where employees felt this was necessary.

GraphQL is a great way for FE devs to make life harder for BE devs. The entire point is composition + client customization of the response body, but in practice the request schema is never modified. And even if it were, you could just versi
