Humans love drama. The news is mostly an entertainment medium. When your on the other side, talk about something with nuance and suck the drama out of it, you see that nobody really cares to read it compared to the dramatically colored ve

Average calories consumed peaked in the early 2000s, we eat less calories and exercise more since that time period but obesity rates are up by at least +%20. It's not the calorie counts.

The vast majority of garbage of most households is not compostable, and most recyclables are already not put in any specific bag due to a lack of fluids. On top of that, many places put recyclables in landfills also. Once you learn that yo

This is the first vision pro review I've seen that has mentioned nausea. I know it is a possibility with any kind of VR headset, but in my usage of it I was surprised how good it was at avoiding nausea. Are there any other major outl

That is like saying doom and cyberpunk 2077 are fundamentally the same thing.

IMO for a place like apple, where they are buying chips in such volumes they define entire production runs anyway and define target design specs for vendors there is probably already a lot of cost they are consuming where adding something l

There is a lot of boring and low "meaning" work that needs to be done. To give a trite example, washing your dishes and keeping your house clean. Or brushing your teeth and flossing. Or making revenue dashboards tracking income

Core competency is a reminder, otherwise you start doing things like making your own chat system and word processing software when you should be just buying slack and google workspace while you are a B2B database company.

I could foresee a parallel loading crane to train track system where the cranes take up to 10 or 20 containers at once and then put them on 10 to 20 parallel train track at once on the other side. Hand counting how wide a panamax gets, they

China can't even get itself out of its obvious demographic crisis with a more unified political group. A big reason why russia went to war with ukrane now was it being at its do or die demographic crisis point. Wait 5 or 10 years and

I would take your current marketing front page and make it the page for developers. Then I would work with a B2B SaaS marketer on what you actually need for the people who make the purchasing decisions. You made a great construction kit,

But why would they phrase it like that unless the veracity is in question. I doubt they would phrase it like that if they spent 12 hours in a neuropsych's office vs. use something like this online test, which is not enough on it'

A company with ~1000 software engineers is probably in the top 100 in software company sizes in the world, especially if they are not a sweat shop consultancy, bank or defense contractor, which are all usually large companies themselves.

It's because that's usually the data scientist's job, and most eng infra teams don't have a data scientist and don't really need one most of the time. Most of the time they deal with data the way their tools general
