Maybe it's because I am experimenting with improving my posture through small and gradual optimizations, but I expected the article to be about small optimizations in your life, rather than code.

I've noticed the same thing but I don't remember it being so prevalent up until a few years ago. This is sad and as you rightly suggest it stifles curious conversations. I had to self-censor myself a few times already.

They kind of resemble Arabic writing. Especially the words "adder", "fed", "hit" or "city".

Agree with you except that the value in studying ancient thinkers and intellectuals is also in recognising patterns and seeing how they probably recognised patterns too.

Guess it depends on how "loud" you are.

It's indeed the opposite of science, but the average person doesn't have the time, patience or energy to be doing science. Thus the need to put the trust on people that do because they're often right. If anything, when you se

I'd say their reaction depends mostly on how you approach them and the discussion. People generally have more pressing issues in their life and prefer delegating them to recognised authorities.

Do those grocery stores still scan your drivers license (or I guess any other ID) if you don't buy alcohol?

Thanks a lot, I totally forgot about this!

Can't vouch for other Europeans but I got used to them to the point my arm moves automatically where needed before clicking, even accounting for extra modals. I almost don't register them anymore.

I've been frustrated at it since I was a kid, but no intervention seems to have had an effect on reducing the waste. If I went through with thinking through my thoughts before writing them I'd be stuck for a very long time (potent

I wish it was like that for me too. I waste a lot of paper because I have to strike or rewrite my notes over and over for mistakes and changes of mind, even though I do my best not to make them. I still didn't find a way to fix that, b

That would probably take a lot more time both in learning and execution.

I've been thinking for a while how fragile computers are, from the software down to the hardware. I've been wondering if maybe it would be better to keep some things on paper, but paper doesn't last long too, and if it does,

I don't know what it's like in USA, but where I'm from insurance premiums change a lot from location to location, so much that some people change their residence to a cheaper city.

At the very least we need free and unlimited access to even think about dethroning Google.

Anti-Israeli at best. I didn't see the word Jewish.

Can confirm it's the same Black Mirror level here, another European country. This is the third time I see this worrisome pattern in the last few years. I don't exactly understand what's going on.

I don't think that's a fair reason to downvote, for the same reason it's not fair to downvote phrases like "it's been" instead of "it has been" for being too English/American.

I'll risk being buried by downvotes but who gives a damn if it's to stand up for someone. I think you're all being too harsh with him. His comment is insightful and he didn't link to his podcast as far as I can see. I&#x
