That's an interesting argument. My counter for globalization is that it leads to developed countries taking the lead in policy decisions for other countries around the world. One example is the US controlled substances act being copied

I've been curious about this too, because he seems like a wet blanket of an interviewer to me. Maybe his neutral, staid approach is non-threatening to famous people?

Sounds like this guy is in the category of people for whom keto diets can work wonders. It's definitely not worth it for me, I've tried, and I suspect it's the same for most people.

I'm not sure if I'm more likely than the regular person to be addicted to the internet because I'm so plugged in to the industry or less so because I "know how the sausage is made" and have been very conscious of my

Speak for yourself, man, cause it can get bad. During the work week I can sometimes go from unconsciousness to TikTok to podcasts to web development to Zoom to Twitter to Spotify to YouTube and back to TikTok and then to sleep without any r

Are these human piloted? Someone mentioned that they might be driven by poorly paid workers?

I'm not pro-NFT in any way, but this other Twitter thread raises some interesting counter-arguments to this common criticism: https://twitter.com/dabit3/status/1456399715646513153 TL;DR NFTs that point to cen

In Brooklyn too and this summer's been great. Don't have to take the subway. All the bars and restaurants have patios, and my friends and I can get together for hikes and BBQs every weekend. However, I'm worried the QoL is go

I find this an uplifting reminder that it's still possible for competition to happen in the world of social media.

I think it's context dependent. I did two months of quarantine isolated in a 500sqft apartment and experienced slowly deteriorating mental health culminating in a mental breakdown. Now, I'm in a 1200sqft apartment with two close f

This is how I see Airbnb in 2020. Big cities have cracked down on people renting out their places and all the idealist hosts have left. Hotels are getting cheaper to compete. The one thing that Airbnb still seems to be great at is ultra-tre

Has anyone had a good experience with a "coach" like this guy? I had a few sessions with a psychodynamic therapist that I thought were pleasant but mostly pointless because there was no accountability or impetus to actually change

Saw your comment after basically making the same point to the parent. You really nailed it, especially with regards to shelf life and scale. Thinking of it, all the times I remember being really knocked off my feet by a malt-forward beer wa
