Being reachable by family and friends 24/7 has only been normal in the past 25 years. For the entire rest of human history, we seemed to do fine without this. I think it also has changed what our perception of a true emergency is. When

Me too, but there is a hint of survivorship bias here. I trust most of the ugly software I am still using because it was designed well enough in the ugly era to survive til today. I have largelyforgotten all the bad ugly software.

Humans have always had pets but they were less of a 'lifestyle' in the past. There is a ton of money and investment in the pet industrial complex now, pets are aspirational, pets are marketted as part of your personality, pets get

It's a good filter for drive/ambition, not immediate talent. The best grad/intern I have supervised had the least domain knowledge starting out, but was an olympic finalist level swimmer. They were easily the most competent b

The best home cooks I know do this meta or syntopical reading. For a new dish, gather a few different recipe sources and then look at all the common elements, and work from there.

You could help dozens of people, at best. $15 mil to shame the Chinese Govt (among others) to action and encourage citizen discontent was a bargain. You couldnt possibly run an ad campaign to tell 1 billion people their govt was lying for l

I think it's more, any free service provided by the government shouldn't exist on principle (because this is a potential market opportunity for someone else). That it had environment in the title is just extra bonus.

I dont think the pressure from payment processors is because of puritanism, but rather payments in this space tend to come with a much higher % of fraud and chargebacks and they've decided it's not worth the risk.

It doesnt have to be on powersaving- just by leaving wifi and bluetooth off I would regularly get 3 days on a charge. Data is cheap where I live, but also I dont use my phone to stream music/video.

This is a very US centric article, a lot of the disruptions listed are incumbent 'big bank' products in other jurisdictions. I feel the lack of adaptability is likely a result of US market conditions/regulations rather than l
