I generally believe Facebook and other social media platforms are bad. I can also absolutely recognize that most people complaining about them don't seem to articulate their reasoning well or in some cases at all. In the article, Matt

I tend to agree with you. Imagine if a restaurant complained that they are losing money because people are making their own food at home. I think it would be clear that said restaurant isn't providing enough value to compete at that po

From the blog: > I am here to tell you that the reason so much of the world seems incomprehensible is that it is incomprehensible. This statement rubs me the wrong way, in a similar fashion to what you've pointed out. All of the wor

No one is saying we don't have some serious problems. But it is the truth that this is objectively the best time to be alive as a human being.

I also recall seeing an article recently on mice on the ISS that get really strong from some genetic tweaks IIRC. It always seems we don't hear much about these "breakthroughs" after the mice results do the rounds through the

Been doing this for a while and it's so simple yet so effective. Also fun to just scroll through and remember things about people you love. My gift / interest lists are also a big driver for my pipe dream of a personal CRM or PSA.

I'm not well versed (or even poorly versed) in agriculture economics but isn't this what the United States does to a certain degree? I know some farmers get subsidies but I'm not sure how / why.

I think I agree with their logic more than I would have thought on my own. I would be less productive at work if I were stressing out about a personal item that I would normally handle during "personal time". I've had fantast

The good thing about "me time" is that it's for ME. So you don't necessarily need to agree that it is quality "me time" for me to think that and enjoy it. In general I agree that spending time in front of a pho

At the size / scale of grubhub, it will always be cheaper to do unethical things for money now versus settling out of court later. Knowing someone that used to do sales at grubhub, this doesn't surprise me at all. The company that

I understand the point you are making and think that normally there is merit to it. However, I think it's important to point out there is a difference between saying "homosexuals and black people should have equal legal and societ

Doesn't sound too far off from sending people to jail if they break the rules of their society. Difference being that holding certain beliefs isn't illegal, at least not yet in America, so society throws in what you might consider

More Human, at least to me, wouldn't be an issue tracker for your end users to source your testing. I can appreciate the idea of bringing an issue tracker for websites that are public for transparency, but I don't think this makes

I think it's pretty clear that we live in that kind of country. Not just based on the parties during spring break or when beaches opened back up in Florida. There are laws making payday loan companies post their APR (usually around 100

Oh yea I absolutely need these training wheels. I am fully aware that if all of the restaurants, bars, or other activities that I love going to were open and operating that I probably wouldn't be able to resist going "just this on

I didn't read their comment that way. The article isn't about doctors with years of experience advocating for lockdown, so this conversation is framed around people disagreeing with how deadly the virus is and the lockdown procedu

No one is denying the negative effects (economic, educational, mental) of such serious lockdowns. It seems that this group is making a claim that if we just take extra caution with the elderly and those with pre-existing conditions, the res

It's awful that in today's world, a feature of a platform is that they don't partake in a particular scummy business practice. It's a shame that we even have this issue.

Could you elaborate a bit more on this? I see your edit where you highlight that the bank doesn't screw you and you have more transparency, but to my knowledge the nature of a decentralized cryptocurrency should have that same effect.
