> we wouldn't dream of it unless it was an emergency. Everything seems to be an "emergency" now. Which means you need to take the time to log back into work, figure out what is going on and then find out it could have wait

Heck, you can take that even further and say the entire hyper-consumption economy has been a net negative.

We're altering the environment rapidly. Environment has a large influence on gene expression. Not a biologist but that is more likely the reason.

But that’s not how humans function. They won’t follow citations because it’s added work. Nine times out of ten, they will take what the AI spits out at face value and move on. Also those citations have a higher probability of being created

Not to mention failing to stop at the clearly marked lines at intersections. They seem to stop either a car length behind the line or a car length over the line in the crosswalk.

I suppose genes would fit the bill? Environment can affect gene expression so how we nurture our current environment could affect the genes of future generations. Might be a stretch, I’m not a geneticist or biologist.

Taxis are incredibly cumbersome to hail, if not impossible, in less dense areas. Uber is also relatively new on the scene in the grand scheme of it. You didn't always have that option.

On that note, being able to walk to places would disqualify most, if not all, US suburbs from being towns or cities. Other than the occasional developer created, faux "town centers" (that you laughably need to drive to), they don&

I see the opposite occurring in my searches. The official documentation sites are usually far down the results list behind blog spam sites.

I thought Max Tegmark’s Life 3.0 was interesting. But with all this future prediction stuff, best to take it with a grain of salt.

This ignores all of the decades of government and university research and funding that went into these technological advances. The US also had the great advantage of being one of the only countries to not be completely devastated by two Wo

Since we are speaking of reasonable people, most reasonable people would define "corporate media" as for-profit entities either privately owned or with shareholders and which rely primarily on advertising to turn a profit. Nothing

Are you implying PBS does not have a commitment to a "rigorous journalistic mission"? It seems quite disingenuous to lump PBS and NPR as "corporate media" in the same light as corporate media entities like Fox News, CNN,

Not sure what SVB's total assets were but in 2018 Congress changed up the asset size requirements in which Dodd-Frank regulations kick in [1]. Seems like the sensible thing to do is to rollback those changes and put Dodd-Frank back to

Deploying PHP is only simple if you already have a web server up and running that someone else is maintaining. Otherwise deploying a PHP web app involves the same complexities as deploying a Python web app. I would even be inclined to say t

You don’t know what's going on behind the scenes either. Everyone has problems, everyone has worries, everyone has inefficiencies. People put up facades.

Zoning laws generally exclude businesses from opening in residential neighborhoods. So no neighborhood bakery, butcher, produce, pub, etc within walking distances. Change the zoning laws, change the car dependencies.

What about your neighbors? Can you socialize with them? I've gotten to know my neighbors so much more now and that's been a big positive. Also getting outside daily is a must.

In general (nothing against Kotlin) I think it probably has to do with the prospect of having to fiddle about and work late with new tech for the same outcome as what you would have gotten with the tried and true tech. At the end of the day

"part of the appeal of Wordpress is ease of use for non-developers to update their website." Seems like in every HN thread regarding Wordpress this is brought up, but later the thread fills up with horror stories of sites being me

There are oodles of data brokers out there: axciom, neustar, etc. Facebook ads would be the quickest way for a small time daycare to target to local shoppers.

Consulting companies will gladly bill you for telling you what you already know. This gets them a foot in the door to start the outsourcing process. For the "leaders" the implicit allure is the personal risk mitigation factor for

Nah, their secret sauce is that they are sales behemoths first and foremost. They are adept at convincing any CEO/SVP to ignore any internal advice from the CEO/SVP's technical teams and sign large, binding contracts instead
