I think this is somewhat similar to what I often do when I need to work on something and never seem to get started: Define the absolutely minimal next step very concretely. Procrastinating on filing taxes. Next step is to log in to tax prep

I think something not measured here but potentially important is the amount of acquaintance contact people have. If you imagine living in a time before high-speed travel and big cities, the people you interacted with day-to-day were basical

I think there's a fallacy underlying this that if the warning is the same, the threat must be the same. Yes, people have been saying "beware the influence of technology on children" for decades, maybe centuries. That doesn&#x

Indeed. I'm reminded of xkcd's train full of people all thinking the same thing: "Look at these people. Glassy-eyed automatons going about their daily lives, never stopping to look around and think! I'm the only consciou

Rambling warning. I think there is a lot of overlap in what you're saying and what the article is saying. In both cases, coffee is a means to an end. In contrast, at the beginning of the article, the coffee was the end for the author,

I think you're saying the same thing as the post but in a way I worry people will take the wrong way. "TLDR, have quality experiences" is going to read as "don't spend $100 on fancy coffee, spend it on a concert&quo

Conceptually, I really like this. Congratulations on getting it out there, and thank you for sharing. The implementation confuses me though. It's not clear at first that all "games" (though I would think it's rounds of a

Wikipedia answers most of the relevant questions. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drop_shipping If you want to create a successful business, you should focus on creating value, not extracting money.

Asking for camera access is not "awkward". In 2022, it's assumed that if I say yes, you'll record absolutely everything the camera can see, store it forever, sell it to anyone who wants it, and use it to show me ads for

Maybe an off-the-wall recommendation, but I found Anxious People by Fredrik Backman to be inspirational and uplifting. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/53799686-anxious-people

The basic idea is that you can only hold so many chunks in working memory (which is a necessary precursor to long-term memory), but the more you know, the better you can chunk information, thus remembering more. There is a similar phenomeno

It seems like it would be impossible to prevent bugs and rodents from getting into packages in facilities that process packages if there was this much free food available.

Just want to emphasize this. If you don't buy it, it's just going to end up hosting some form of spam. May as well put it to good use. That seems like a much more respectful transition.

It does seem like Etsy has basically become eBay. I used to buy from Etsy all the time, but at this point, I have zero trust that I would actually be buying something handmade from a real, independent creator. Which of course means I just w

I've seen the same problems when this technique is attempted. Something else to consider is that weights scaling linearly may not make sense. More importantly, criteria may overlap. In the example in the article, I suspect technical ea

From what I can tell, there is literally nothing to show if you don't sign up. The site is entirely social. You have a feed and recommendations which are shared among friends. It's basically like saying there's zero chance yo

I've read Tiny Habits, Atomic Habits, and a different book from Stephen Guise. BJ Fogg's writing is much better organized than Guise's. Between Tiny and Atomic, I find Tiny covers much more conceptual ground on human behavior

I think there's still a distinction here. I didn't specifically want instant noodle reviews. I just wanted sites about instant noodles. If they happen to be reviews, cool. If they are photo galleries, that's cool too. Message

But the thing is... there's also a web that isn't like that, but no one has yet built a tool that helps you find it. Like, here's a site that (among other things of interest to fans) chronologically orders Korean historical d
