I have similar results and opinions. I feel that there is some kind of "back-end processing" that happens during sleep that is crucial for learning. Also, my sleep tends to be better when I'm doing some kind of workout regula

No wondering, I just assume that's the case. Like, whatever the Chinese equivalents of 4chan and pastebin are would be in constant discussion over the best ways to exploit that information. OPM is a big umbrella over the US Federal Gov

Also, there's a goofy clone called "Organ Trail"[1] on Steam which adds a zombie apocalypse theme to the original. The look and feel is quite similar. [1] https://store.steampowered.com/app/233740/Org

>eliminate hours as a measure of productivity and instead focus on the productive output of our work. Yes, totally agreed here. We're talking creative and analytical output, not cloud compute cycles.

I guess we'll find out what the judges the locals voted for and the juries summoned are made of. Even then, their decisions can be overturned by a higher court or appealed so that basically means nothing. They can say "criminal mu

A Roomba is consumer-grade technology, though. There's a whole different paradigm of manufacturing and production used for i.e. defence, space/aerospace, high-level particle physics at LLNL and so forth. Not really a good metric.
