Do you think MSFT has rolled this out too soon rather than getting it tested with huge test user base like their own employees similarly to what Google is doing?

This is disappointing news. I automated my donations to Signal Tech Foundation (the non-profit behind the Signal chat app) through purchases at Amazon. Now I will just need to directly donate to them separately.

I would like to add couple more titles to recommend: Firewatch, Fallout series and entire Metro series (2033, Last Light and Exodus). Fallout and Metro games are very similar to half life just not that hard to play.

For the great narration with stunning visuals and great story, you might like to play Bioshock series. Right now I think they sell entire collection (Bioshock 1,2 and infinite) on sale on Steam.

I would put WSJ to more of a centre than either left or right of political ideology assuming we can ignore their conservative leaning Opinions writers.

Everything he does I see his keyboard or monitor in the background. I don’t know why he is so much into ‘productivity’ that even for walks he has to be in front of his machine and working? Why can’t he just enjoy walking to relax a bit outd

This. The problem with Meta is that nobody can confront Zuck and remind him that this is really a bad idea RoI wise. Zuck is unhinged and makes the decisions as he pleases even at the company of this scale.

One of my friends was in a similar situation recently and, going for a walk in the park and basically just talking to friends and family often on phone helped him immensely. He also used to just let his brain trained by waking up early, tak

Can someone edit the title to say it is a trial run for 3 yr duration and 300 people. The title sounds like every Young Adult in LA can enroll into this program which is way more ambitious than what is happening here.

Good list. Reminds me of the plot from The Foundation book where Hari Seldon wants to build a library of all the knowledge that can help build a civilization from scratch.

I think you are talking about GWM5610-1? I own the same with solar powered and multi band radio sync time. Superb watch and basically don’t need to charge or even set the time or date as all those tasks are automated.

+1 for suggestion on trying Stoicism You can try reading classic Stoic texts such as Meditations from Marcus Aurelius and Seneca's On the Shortness of Life.

I have iPhone 11 and I still don't think it is worth upgrading to 14 or 14Pro yet. I consider myself tech savvy person but I don't see a point to buy a new phone if my current phone takes good enough pics for myself and my family

One great benefit of Kanopy is that you can access pretty much entire catalog of Great Courses free with Kanopy here [0]. I love the breadth and depth of Great Courses when I want to learn various topics such as gardening, space exploration

Yes I do subscribe to their Upshot and Weekender newsletters. The weekender especially shows the breadth and depth of great NYT journalism.

This seems strange especially when the target market seems small as I don't see many people would have such cravings to get NYC food delivered to LA. But I am not sure. On the other hand, I would really love to get some Neapolitan pizz

I used to admire him until probably a year ago and always liked him for saying what it is but recently I've had enough of him. I feel like he has no empathy for people and he has no class anymore. Just look at the 10% layoff email he s
