Your brain is doing so much more than just “parsing” sentences when reading, the creative process in how you form thoughts and ideas from text is incredibly complex. Books also have residual value, where the brain synthesizes ideas over tim

No, people are biased because they are more likely to seek out content that reinforces their view point…not because something is long or short or takes effort. Given by how reading books is actually a declining activity, I would not say mos

'There's this strange idea that books are good for you and television is garbage. Nothing is further from the truth.' This seems very hyperbolic. I might agree with you if we are talking about short form content...a magazine

From some of the calls I have listened to(engines failing, landing gears failing, close calls, etc...), it is incredible how composed the parties involved are! As much as some people point the finger at one person in the situation, the impo

Edit: missed the part about the tower controllers specifically, but the below still holds I think. Partner is a FA, and can confirm that just about every department is understaffed and overworked. Unions can't strike due to Railway Lab

Well now most places are asking for a 20% tip for ordering at the counter hah.

I have lived in quite a few cities in the US, and people who live in the city are still driving a majority of the time. There are not that many US cities that have the appropriate biking and transit capabilities to match their size.

This has been on my mind this past week(and is only lightly tangential)...but would we be able to observe adaptations being made by plants/animals/ecosystems on a timescale of years or decades...to the changing climate? Humans wil

I have started generally going out to restaurants/service places less just to avoid this awkward interaction. Another thing I have seen is the POS machines placing the highest tip amount next to the 'No Tip' option. So if I f

Of course, but why are we bad at it after so many iterations? I think a comment above mentioned that there is actually incentive to get estimate to skew lower and worry about the extra costs later. What does a world look like where estima

by mym1990 3y ago
Ah so little to no incentive to actually get estimates correct out of the gate.

No, no, just pointing out the blatant contradiction in the statement. Although I do wish an app intended for a billion people had a component of goodness to it!

by mym1990 3y ago
I don't think any project retro I have ever had asked the question of 'how did we do on estimation?'. I guess that would be one of the culprits.

by mym1990 3y ago
A general question to anyone in the industry: how come after so much experience with over budget/over timeline projects, the industry still vastly underestimates those variables?

The ironic thing is that he lists monetization last, but simply by uttering that sentiment he tells us that they are really thinking about monetization first, aka the end goal of the product.

This practice is particularly horrendous in the food industry(fast food, cereals, etc...). Kids are the prime target for companies that have no morals, because if you can get the kid to nag their parents, its a great strategy. Companies are

You really can’t compare the income levels without factoring the actual system that Europeans live in. Most Europeans don’t have a car, healthcare is subsidized, food is cheaper, +50 other things that are different. A European coming to the

While accountability on people to change their lifestyles would be ideal, the truth is that marketing as a domain has such a deep understanding of how to get humans to go towards something. And that something is almost never the healthy and

If the healthCARE system cannot be factored into how poor the health of its citizens is, then what’s the point of it? The truth is that the healthcare system in the US is a massive source of revenue. There is little preventative practices g

Well in that case your headline is as good as the tabloids, thanks!

Uhh, it’s definitely our lifestyle and healthcare system, which promotes passive treatment rather than early identification of diseases, primarily heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. Alzheimer’s too but early identification of this is stil

Your posts are very weird, almost all of them are long form, interchanging quote types, quoting at the wrong times, a ramble of ideas...I would not be surprised if this is like a 'snarky AI' model that is producing these.

Are you pretending to understand how human creativity works? Your last 1-3 sentences is literally what a human does, in some situations, or in many situations early in the development process of a style. If this was not the case, art school

by mym1990 3y ago
So if I lay out 10 images from an artist, or a variety of artists, and create a work, by hand, in a similar style, should I abide by your similar thought pattern? Almost all art is influenced by previous works, the only difference here is t

I don't think the assumption is that government is legislating away anything. The decisions are still up to the people, but the reward or consequence will be the byproduct of the legislation. Get a DUI, lose your license for 10 years.

by mym1990 3y ago
Of course the ultimate accountability would be with the driver, but a) there is little to no accountability left on the road anymore and b) changing widespread behavior patterns is usually a top down thing. You can certainly legislate in a

They do! You're driving one :D but in all seriousness, they are out there, but the ones still in relatively good condition are a pretty penny.

Rented a Ford Edge recently and it had a similar setup. The screen had some lag, which just exacerbated my fumbling around for controlling the AC while driving. Hard pass.

The problem is that a good chunk of those drunk/high/distracted/overly tired are in the same type of vehicle, and cause disproportionate damage to those who do not or cannot afford a similar sized tank. Your point is a valid
