That sounds rather sad... sure when I was 18 or 20 this would be cool, but then people eventually actually grow up and have adult lives. Its trivial to fall into alcoholism as billions have already achieved, normally unobservable by given p

Yes? You mention it too - parents glued to their phones, part of the problem. Kids seeing their parents reading a book vs being glued to their phones really isn't the same thing, far from it. They can come and see pages of printed text

Don't expect much when (from what I see) most adults are properly addicted to their screens. If parents are already not up to the bar kids will seldom be, leading by example and all that. Now show me parents, hell even here on HN, who

Well they really fucked up. Biden was visibly senile, almost like trump is now, and they pushed it till last minute when switch to Kamala happened... too little too late. Who is their counter-weight for future? As an outsider who doesn&#x27

Poor driving skills rather than social status. But who of those brilliant folks would admit that even to themselves. Also suvs are not some expensive car category, you can find dirt cheap (and crappy as suvs in general anyway are) ones.

Not complaining about not having yet another car on the roads here, but your conclusion goes directly against experience of literally every single person living here in Europe for their whole lives that I know. Especially Switzerland, apart

It covers some, lets say non-beginner situations that are pretty real and can make a difference between OK situation and multiple fatalities crash. A junior driver can still kill people as easily as anybody else, standards should be high. A

This is the way. I've spend few weeks back a wonderful time on remote islands in heart of Sulawesi, Indonesia. I even bought sim card for the operator that was supposed to have some coverage there (to stay connected a bit with kids bac

Stay logged off in the browser, don't carry (unique, complex) password around if you have to. But this is desperate level of proper addiction, when serious hard look at one's life is by far the best course of action. Professional

This, so much this. Even many smart folks don't realize this, or refuse to acknowledge since its pretty bleak viewpoint with no bright future. This war won't end just because its getting annoying, or sad, or shocking whats happeni

Well they are not that healthy these days (salmon or tuna). Maybe 1x a week is still fine, but we are just guessing the long term toxicity thresholds.

Surprisingly little actual long term quality of life, happiness or life satisfaction can be bought with money, any money. They are important if you properly don't have them but as soon as you leave that category they are at best second

Shhh, or you are going to ruin some lives of folks who have excellent corporate careers in some lets say questionable companies, and very little achievement to show in their actual lives.

Interest of tech companies (or more specifically their stockholders), for sure. Not so much for the long term interests of its citizens though.

Artists generally? Translators? People at various bureaucratic positions doing more menial white collar work? And tons more. That you specifically wish for them to not even exist is your own internal problem and actually pretty horrible thi

Yeah but what we are all whining here about (apart from folks working on llms and/or holding bigger stocks of such, a non-trivial and a vocal group here) has hit many other jobs already in the past. Very often thanks to our own work. I

The bigger and clunkier the corporation is, the slower the speed of deliveries. And actual development FWIW is somewhere in the range of 1-5% of it all. Sure, code sweat shops have very different % of above, but thats a completely different

Perfect it ain't, I never even heard anybody actually relevant state that, by the core principle of it it can't be. But, its by far the best human-averaged source of info on most topics. I'd say even politically charged topic

Yeah the reason ain't so much some cables in the ground but general byzantine bureaucratic obscurity of a state that you germans created (or allowed to be created) and maintain for yourself. Its far from the only issue stemming form it

Only if you go outside well-secured sport climbs where you don't have to think about that (but still its a good idea to check the state of bolts for any visible damage due to rot and rust). And even then, some rocks are hollow and stil

Nobody is taking it away from you, but as we seem to agree that ship has sailed for some deep waters, nobody is backpedaling back. Well cheers to even bigger gap between elite who can afford good education and upbringing and cheap crappy re

Misuse or not, who cares about labeling. Internet was supposed to be this wonderful free place with all information available and unbiased, not the cesspool of scams and tracking that makes 1984 look like a fairytale for children. Atomic en

Its as if somebody finds shocking the fact that people are generally lazy. Then you have the other extreme group, deniers. "I work more than ever!", "I ask even more questions!" and so on here and elsewhere. Sure you do,

One thing I noticed over and over, from cheap sitcoms to expensive blockbusters - when actors sip, they have liquid, but clearly the movement of glass to mouth is 'dishonest', as in too fast or too low for any liquid to actually m

What do you mean, in many places around the world we kill people society or state considers assholes, including US. Then we can discuss where is the cutoff line for enough assholishness to go for a slaughter and where something less severe,
