Yeah but while in the gym looking up at the fighters and the more progressed, you can't see the thousands of people sitting at home on the lounge all day long. Don't always compare up.

Our brains evolved to wayfind from landmarks (there's a part of the brain largely dedicated to it, found from studies on cab drivers). but using GPS navigation changes how you remember a journey you havent made before, and makes you mu

I guess it sounds strange to an American, but they are still popular in smaller towns in Australia. The local businesses eg butcher or bottle shop will donate/provide at cost goods(meat tray/wine) to be raffled to raise funds for

That sort of anti-fragility isnt a guaranteed outcome of attrition though. You can just as easily be left with a pool of under-performers that can't/won't leave, while talent moves to organisations that invest more in staff v

I am aware of that, but my definition of a good manager is someone who was forward looking and focused on clearing roadblocks to allow the team to function properly, and can get the team aligned with the business needs. If I am being asked

Reading antiwork last year, I feel it should have been called antimanagement. Regardless of class of work (white vs blue collar), a bad manager is going to destroy any job satisfaction that might have been derived. Contemporary workforce ma

Your can make your brand associations more meaningful though. I've started to embrace hyper-local street fashion. Wearing tshirts from local businesses in my area that I enjoy (bars/cafes/local brewery merchandise).

Sometimes yes, but it's the testing and regulatory approval costs that should in theory be lower for animals.

Avoiding taxes and utilising tax minimisation strategies keeps value with you, but it also distorts your consumption in other ways. EG you are incentivised in the US to purchase more housing (via mortgage interest deduction) than you might

A lot of gas distribution networks are experimenting with hydrogen blending (adding a % of sustainably generated hydrogen to the methane blend), much the same as adding ethanol to petrol. However, beyond the engineering issues (existing pip

Yes, broadly speaking. That is the principle of herd immunity. We managed to eradicate smallpox with mandatory vaccination programs without all this political fuss.

If 'You' is a goverment in a country with socialised healthcare, you want your population as healthy as possible to keep costs down. Preventative care (vaccines) is much cheaper.

That's the theory behind spanish flu mutating into the less severe seasonal flu strains we learned to live with.

Is that risk aversion, or something else though? I find Americans much more primed to consume and try new products.

'get a trainer' is proxy for 'get a form check', which is fair advice to prevent long term injury. There are many beginner friendly lifting resources online, and communities who will help you review videos of your lifts

The Lush virtue signalling has front-run other conscientious consumer trends like low/no plastic packaging, refillable containers etc. I am sure plenty of others will be watching to see if getting off facebook translates to a new brand

Add 'hard truths' to that list too. Lifestyle & diet have a huge impact on health, but a portion of the population refuse to acknowledge this or want to hear about it from their doctor.

Not everyone/every culture has the same relationship to food as the west. (I personally feel being more utilitarian about food is healthier in the long run). Your friend may be predisposed towards idenitfying quality/craftsmanship

What is the time period for reconcilling transactions? Is it reordering them per a 24 hour period? Or is every bank settling them differently.

Poster probably had a series of small transactions from travelling ($5,12$,$13 etc). The bank moved the $900 to the front of the payment queue, and then every one of the smaller transactions cops the fee. It wasn't 500% of 900, it was

Australian here - Points systems are only really worth it in Aus if you're collecting frequent flyer related ones. There are not as many cash-back rewards as the US. We have had a universal fee free bill payment system called Bpay for

In a functioning market for any other service, degree pricing would follow some sort of expected utility curve - students would only be willing to pay for thier expected value of the degree. But, student loans dont behave like standard loan

I dont think there are many 'canon' texts in this space, because of all the conflicting evidence and continual improved understanding of how diets impact health (eg gut ecology, inflammation are recent big research areas). Looking

Depending where you are, curtains have a better thermal performance to blinds. I vastly prefer solid curtains that block light completely to keep rooms cool.

The progress, in most physical tasks, is also immediately apparent. Shift 10 pallets of stock, or plough a field? You know how much you have left of the task at a glance. Work through a pile of Jira tickets? That could be a morning or a da

So, BMW amiibos? Sport team season ticket holders getting exclusive digital jerseys to wear? College students getting a code to unlock digital shirt of their alma mater? Brand affiliation as an identity marker in a virtual space makes sense

The tech quality developing is all well and good, but I dont see in these discussions much consideration to how much space you need clear for immersive VR. If Facebook want this to scale for private use, they need to solve for housing first
