I'm not American, but when we were in up to the 9th grade, every break between classes we would play football (soccer) outside. Almost the whole class (our schools aren't like american HS where you go to a class with different peo

This feels like it would be most helpful to a teen who's just starting out. Otherwise, I just see this as a reminder to "be within my own boundaries" with regards to spending, work, etc.

I think that's not the point. They are making a product seemingly targeted at audiophiles and they don't provide enough storage (for the amount of music an audiophile might have), while showing off some obscure features like the g

Safe about their current job? Probably not. Safe in the sense that they can definitely get a job at the same level (albeit at a smaller company in some cases) - pretty much

I personally believe that loading spinners have permeated to so many apps and websites, and with the rise of using phones more and more (hence slower internet from a tower, rather than from a router) and we end up with a world-wide psycholo

Eh, that's an over-generalization. I don't think a whole generation can spot ads. I thought so about my gen (millenials) and lots of people my age don't really understand sponsored content, for instance

The title suggests that this is a blog post with a section of lessons learned or what the developer thinks could be done better/differently depending on their background, not an ad

I don't think that it is that complex. People are becoming increasingly hedonistic (my own opinion in life, comparing older generations and newer generations in how they reward themselves, saving habits etc). So that leads to people no

I think this is the "American" way of looking at it and does not really represent what people think in the western world.

In a lot of parts of the world, trying to fight it can put you in some bad people's crosshairs. At the very least, nothing gets done because "at least X was improved"

Although I don't agree with all of the things in here, I do personally feel like we are coming to a standstill. In recent years it seems that reboots have become more and more popular. We are even seeing old stuff being revived and peo

It's like in China where you have limited ownership of the company. But still, any % of whatever the big country is willing to give you, you take it because it raises the valuation of your company, so and so.

AFAIK, in bigger (more populous) countries, it seems that the pay is going to be according to the average for the area, scaled. This is giving countries in Eastern Europe a bit of an advantage. In my case (in Bulgaria) while there is a big

I think a counter argument could be that kids that young still don't know that much about the world and it's going to be a very hard thing to motivate yourself to become better at such a young age when you are already ahead of so

But that doesn't disqualify the option of the kid not really enjoying it as much as you would expect from a GM. How many other sports players have we seen where it is evident how much talent they got, but don't really work because

I think you are abstracting the matter by taking out the humanity. It's one thing to learn to do something by hand after purchasing the book. It's a totally different thing to read every single book in the world (humanly impossibl

Complex is used in the sense that you have to consider multiple things (such as constraints, logic, etc) in order to come up with a working solution. You cannot really escape from a complex problem because you have to satisfy all of its nee

You could argue that the companies were brought to the success they have due to the fact that they were fast to market to all available platforms. And to think of it, I don't reckon a small company writing a client for only windows&#x2

But this shouldn't matter. We still have a subconscious and we sometimes do things that we don't really think through, or do them on auto-pilot. So you could be doing things which you don't think through and they are still in

I think that a lot of the big politics players realize that if the big companies get broken up, some of the businesses might not be as profitable. In other words, it seems like some businesses have been able to find a diamond//gol

I think it is reasonable for something that is 1/5 general knowledge. Like, it's in the description __general__ knowledge, not specialized or deep-dive in any way. I used to like playing with electric constructors when I was a kid

I think it could be cool if YT started their own Patreon. Anyone who is a 'member' of the channel, for some basic tier fee even, should not even get the plug as part of the video, or at least have that part skipped by default. Thi

As I mentioned in another comment, I view this as the largest deal breaker for a lot of people. You pay to remove the YT ads, but you still get a 2m plug out of a 10m video which is already stretched so that it gets in the upper echelon of

I think that the issue people are having is that (a large portion of) the content on YT also does sponsorships. Also, 'like and subscribe and bell'. So you might pay for YT, but I don't think that the quality of the service i

> - Having mixed bike/car roads where the speed limit is 30 kph. Yeah, 30kph seems to low (hell, even I feel the 50kph limit in cities here is too low) to be a road limit for a mixed bike/car road. I think isolation is a better

Well, free does mean that you don't get to pay to use. Where the money comes from is a different question, albeit the most important one. Perhaps it would make sense to tackle overly dependence on cars by slapping a tax which is direct

In Eastern Europe most of the old people get out at 6 going to the park benches and talking all day (in warmer months; if living in towns/cities) The other spend almost all day gardening/field work and, like you said, watch TV. Ho

While I do disagree with the chosen wording (using 'a cool new feature would be to...' sounds a bit more friendly, if you will) I don't think that anything is said in bad faith. This is a passion project for the creator and h

Wasn't there a big scandal some years ago about the big tech players making deals under the table about wages and not poaching each other's talent? At some point, when there is too much to lose, big companies are going to start co
