why all the downvoters? I just listed a bunch of totally reasonable objections to his time in office. Are people that attached to political figures? I don't understand. I feel like hackernews is a good place to criticize all politician

I'm not a trump fan by any means but obama was just another 8 years of bush. he didn't do much to end the wars, wall street got a raise especially those at the very top, no one was held accountable for the financial crisis, he gav

Do you seriously think most people are close to their peak? I'd guess it's only around a few percent of all people. Most people are lazy and only do enough to get by.

My lack of focus. I pair programmed with a colleague the other day and her ability to focus without losing sight of a goal was incredible. We were debugging for like 3 hours without dropping a beat and i can't go without a distraction

Is there any evidence that putting art in empty windows actually helps? i see that a lot and I always find it kind of beseeching. Similarly my neighborhood has been putting up murals as an attempt to spur business development and it feels l

I love discogs and have used it to find a huge amount of new (or new to me) music over the past 10 or so years. I would love to see a discogs streaming service so you can much more easily find this that collaborators have done. I use Spotif

this is becoming common in the rest of the US as well because of the lack of second person plural. they call it y'all sprawl. I hear it frequently here in Chicago.

my only complaint is that you can't lock the arm rests in place. I'd love that. I should have also gotten a headrest but that's my fault

In Our Time is great - a recent favorite was the episode on bird migrations. I had no idea that topic was so fascinating!

What would you want to see and why? Do you think this is some puff piece to influence people to want to get back working in offices? Hasn't google already stated that they aren't allowing people back until July 2021 or thereabouts

Is Chicago really that much worse than other similar cities like milwaukee or minneapolis? whenever I go to those (which, to be honest, isn't often) the streets don't seem _that_ much better.

Completely agree. It's frustrating to see so many people dismiss the value of a religion when it has the potential to offer so many benefits. Of course there's plenty of dogma but what we've replaced religion with does not se

I don't watch every episode so I probably just missed some but what are episodes where they spend the majority of their time arguing for two different sides? At least with someone like ben shapiro, they might have philosophical differe

I like Rogan's podcast but he definitely won't talk to anyone - When was the last time there was someone on that didn't agree with him on the major issue or issues they were brought on the podcast to discuss? They may quibble

It makes me so mad that companies require phones for MFA. I get distracted by my phone easily and when I tried switching to a yubikey, they told me that my business case for switching wasn't good enough. So frustrating

Re:Spotify. I know you didn't recommend these, but a lot of their pre made playlists are filled with music designed to make them money. the discover weekly and radar release are fine, but avoid their genre playlists. Start with music y

Just to add to this - once you find music you do enjoy listening to, use discogs.com to find the producer of it and see what else they have produced, find what instrumentalists were on it that you really like and find what else they were on

I'm not saying it's a good idea, just that it's a proposed solution. We'll need to do something rather drastic if we want to have any chance of saving the world as it is today

There have been calls to put sulfur dioxide into the air above the artic to reduce sunlight about 2% and limit the amount of energy that reaches it. Sounds like we'll need to do something like that if we don't want to turn places
