I'd like to suggest that they are making it worse. We used to play games together on the couch, but now we can be alone in our houses watching strangers instead. Social media in general is making us all more lonely while tricking us in

That's a nice sentiment, but everything you believe is conditional. I doubt there is literally no changes that could ever occur that would change your mind about anything including love. Perhaps the likelihood of those things are close

I'm not convinced. What the author describes as irrational or for no reason are likely just reasons that are too difficult to grasp or articulate. I bet even people we would describe as clinically insane probably have reasons that they

I just wanted to say that you should have used the word trope instead of meme.

I feel like I'm the exact opposite. I'm much better at deriving algorithms and CS concepts on the spot than memorizing the latest flavor of the month webtool or language. Why am I working as a software QA if there are so many deve

I was pretty sure fiber was bi-directional so you can always saturate the same fiber with all upload or download based on demand. Copper wire can't do this so they use most of their last mile copper for download since that is what most

Not sure how being additionally discriminatory in other fields is fair. Both are unfair. Not saying either of them are "wrong", but definitely not "fair". Which might be fine. I have no idea.

Aren't password managers sacrificing security for convenience? Remembering hundreds of long unique passwords being the most secure, but too difficult. If you could remember everything then you would have an uncompromisable storage syst

I am skeptical that this really gets at the heart of what makes socializing as an introvert different than for an extrovert. Being in a social situation brings some level of anxiety to the table even if everyone is silent and that eventuall

If they had taken $1M of that saved $5M and distributed it to all of the families inconvenienced by this change I wonder if that would have affected their opinion.

Observing some beautiful architecture in China and staying at a luxury hotel doesn't feel like experiencing what it means to live in China. It's a theme park in the sense that you are on a pre-determined course going from location

Personally I wouldn't consider tourism to theme park style destinations as experiencing other cultures.

That's kind of what I was thinking. We don't even need to technically run out of oil. We just need to reach some threshold where life as we know it is no longer feasible and the world is forced to make drastic changes. People will
