   I think this is mostly a problem in the united states. I'm from Europe, and everytime I visit USA I am struck by how huge most of the cars are. Like, why?

   I felt less and less excited about tech/programming over the years. Not sure if I would call it burnout, but just a sense of boredom and that I didn't learn new and exciting stuff anymore. 7 years ago I decided to just leave it al

   I have a few friends who are very privacy minded. They even refuse to use most of the big social media networks out of privacy concerns. But most people spend a larger and larger proportion of our social life online. So what ends upp happen

   Nothing. Nothing bad ever happened to me due to lack of privacy protection. I am only happy if I get ads tailored to my interests. Even if Backblaze, where I store backups of all my data, would be hacked and leaked – nobody would probably c

   Wow! After going through this tour, I feel like I don't need to visit in real life. I can imagine an "IRL" tour wouldn't be as good, with queues, lots of other tourists, etc. This was the best virtual visit experience I

    It's funny because I also had this memory of walking around inside the ship when I visited the museum as a child. A few years ago when I visited again I realised it must had been the interior mockups I remember.

    James Webb telescope is great and all, but I have to say I think the older image is more stunning and more aesthetically pleasing. Cleaner, simpler, nicer colors, more mysterious looking.

    Only way to get accurate real time data when running is to use a good foot pod like Stryd. GPS just isn't as accurate as people think, no matter if you use Apple Watch or Garmin.

    This is why I finally ordered an Apple Watch with cellular, so that I can leave my iphone at home when going for a walk or hike, but still be reachable.

    In Sweden, there is a scale replica of the solar system, with correct distances. The sun is represented by the Avicii Arena, the world's largest spherical building. http://www.swedensolarsystem.se/

    And the reason for this is likely that youtube takes at least 30% of the money, while patreon is around 5-8%

    I can warmly recommend Kevin Kelly's website dedicated to his favorite documentaries. A catalog of very high quality documentaries. I've seen a few of them and loved them all. https://truefilms.com/

    Maybe your passion IS video games and not programming? These days you can build just as good a career out of that – maybe start a youtube channel or start streaming on twitch? Everybody cannot be John Carmack, he is quite an exception. Don&

    I love this thing. I made a youtube dashboard with it, to keep track of my key metrics. It was so simple and great fun to make, just some basic Python programming. See it in action here: https://youtu.be/CV0rt5RkzAI?t=201

    I evaluate lots of things by looking at pictures of them. Turns out to be pretty accurate in most cases.

    This is my favorite background sound website for focused work. Been using it for years. I have my own custom brown noise, and I also like the various rain noises - so soothing! Perfect when you are in a noisy environment and want to focus.

    It depends on the CPM for his type of content. But yeah your estimate is what I would guess as well, if he only monetizes via youtube ads.

    I am somewhat surprised he only has 80k subscribers and 20M views. Not a lot considering the amount of videos. But he is probably making a nice side income from this. As a comparison I have done youtube "the honest way", and I pos

    Youtube does not punish you if you are not consistent. That is simply a myth. There are plenty of very successful youtubers who only publish occasionally or irregularly.

    Having watched a lot of Gerald Undone's videos, I have a very very hard time imagining how he could incite anyone to threaten someones family. But I don't know the backstory, just saw the meltdown.
