How would you pay for things online, many of which are not available in person? Or stores/airplanes/services that don't accept cash?

I don't necessarily agree with OP but the degree to which the private market, without any government intervention, was able to get masks into the hands of consumers across the country and world quickly was extremely impressive. I don&#

Didn't coronavirus prove that individual action wouldn't do much to curb climate change and that corporations and governments needed to do a lot more in order to truly have an effect? With maybe the exception of meat consumption

I can't find a link right now but I read somewhere that farmers in Costa Rica were starting to get liver damage because the wet bulb temperature had been reached there so we're starting to see the effects already

Yes you're right I should have said "more culture" - not necessarily better. But small places tend to have a singular culture with little variation. It's great when you fit in, but if not, tough luck kid. The other point

The exodus idea always seemed off to me - cities have the best culture, the best services, the best educational institutions, and the best opportunities, among other things. There's no small or even midsize town that can replicate that

How to win friends and influence people - It's mentioned here all the time but I think it would have helped get over some of my social anxiety in high school. Maybe this is particular to me but I get the sense that American society doe

they want political change, not physical change. I can't imagine many young people want to give up a bustling city with lots of culture, dating opportunities and things to do for a place thats cheaper with a slightly lower risk of cont

Agreed - he is one of the best interviewers I have ever heard and has an absolutely fascinating number of opinions on a wide range of topics. I don't agree with him on everything but he always makes me think

What are some ways you get people to use more complex structures and phrasing? I'm a native English speaker learning Spanish and I struggle to get beyond small talk when talking to native Spanish speakers

+1 for conversations with Tyler, no matter your opinions on his politics, he's one of the best interviewers out there.

Is that where decision makers are looking right now? I don't ask this to be snarky, but it seems that they post so many op-eds that it would get buried

Does anyone else find it a little worrying that the FDA is just rubber stamping these? Am I justified in my concern or is that what they had been doing pre-coronavirus but with more lede time? I understand the gravity of the situation, but

This happened to a really talented Indian engineer on my team who was dependent on the company for her visa. Her work was stellar and she often worked 60+ hours when the rest of the team worked 40-50 regularly. Our manager was kind of a jer

Conversations with Tyler is quite good - I don't agree with him on many things politically but he has a very idiosyncratic way of looking at things that has informed my own worldview

I'm not sure I agree with the assertion that podcasts are a bad way to engage with ideas in the way that books allow you to. Of course many podcasts don't do this or even proclaim to, but my experience has been that certain interv

I think the point is that reading more will improve you in many ways both in and outside of work. Of course if you have young children or ageing parents to take care of that's a different story but for most people the time spent lookin

Why would you apply for a job where you are "truly competent"? Don't most engineers want to be challenged when they are looking for a new job? Shouldn't people who are looking for this sort of thing have a sense that the

Interesting to hear this perspective as one of the main arguments people used to make was that people in rural India or wherever could now access banking products that traditional banks refused to give due to cost. I'm assuming that&#x

Totally agree. his books would be even better if he got rid of the obnoxious chest thumping and just laid out his arguments. I read it a few months ago and it was the only book of the year that I wanted to reread. I continually find myself

I think they're both for the reason that the less effort required the better. The faster you can hire someone that can do a job reasonably well the better off the company will be. Likewise in dating, you'll likely be much more suc
