Betteridge's law of headlines seems to apply. It's a mistake to assume that public policies, such as lockdowns, are the primary thing that changes human behavior, when mobility data has shown similar patterns in different places r

I did a similar thing for our kids (Hindi/English) but we had slightly different goals. Since the kids were getting my English surname, we wanted to give them Hindi first names, but we wanted them to be easily pronounceable in English.

Which part do you disagree with? The fact that the products are beloved, or the fact that people are working to improve them?

Read a really charming and escapist novel. Worst case, you end up staying up too late because the book is so good, but I haven't found anything more reliable for making me disconnect from the world and its churning. Substituting a book
