I had much more success researching my own health problems than by visiting any doctor (and have seen a lot, unfortunately). As a bonus, I learned a lot about the body and the mind. I see misdiagnosis happening at a very high rate but I als

From what I anecdotally see (outside US) some men got frustrated with society and just don’t want to work. Everything they need seem to be found at home, similar to the hikimori in Japan albeit not so extreme. It’s sometimes (so not alway

If your only concern is making money then yes, you can make a lot there. Otherwise no: (IMHO) overpopulated, more insecure every day, expensive, bureaucracy, not so good transport, Brexit, potentially devaluated currency in the near future,

This is generally good advice but I disagree about Twitter being an intellectual place. I was there for so many years and had to quit because even if I wasn’t following political people, some politics would always end up in the timeline one

I do agree that cannabis health “benefits” are often exaggerated but this happens with any substance. Also, social media bots spam about many things all the time. Should we then talk about all the topics spam bots post about?

It’s worth mentioning that this post is focused on USA and (unsurprisingly) highlights Bay Area. I’m sure the points exposed apply there but there are many other places in the USA and the rest of the world where this doesn’t apply and you c

There are terrible families out there. Just because it’s family doesn’t mean you have to suffer permanently. Some people have kids for the sake of having them, not caring about their well-being at all. In other words, being a parent doesn’t

For those skeptical of psychedelics being used for anything but recreational situations, I recommend a recent book How to Change Your Mind by Michael Pollan. The author goes through the story of different psychedelics (including LSD) and

One particular annoyance (present in this post) is the FB pages. Many business only have online presence in FB and nowadays I think you can’t even check reviews or e.g. the lunch menu (perhaps depends on the A/B test part you fall in).

RDS is quite expensive, even for the peace of mind it gives. I used to work on a big enterprise which had many talented engineers and it was clear that RDS for the many dozens of teams wouldn’t be the best idea (money-wise) and so a custom

There may be a generic list somewhere but I find them to come naturally from curiosity. Things like: - Do you like what you do? - Do you regret this or that? - Did you study what you always wanted? - How believing in X helped you? - What’s

That’s a great story and I’m like your wife in that aspect, but just intentionally. Either way you’re lucky to have someone like that around, it can teach you a lot. I’ve experienced very deep, fulfilling connections with strangers (friend

My bare minimum is learn more about Alan Watts and his books. I saw him mentioned here many times but it wasn’t until I started reading one of the books that I got hooked by his way of explaining fundamental life stuff.

Not exactly the same topic but similar - reminded me of how Google also donates not a small amount to Mozilla, to the point where Mozilla’s survival seems to be quite dependent on Google’s generosity.

I’m glad to see open-source alternatives for this! Without judging how good or bad this technically is, I’m happy to see the devs made it visually appealing. Good job. My only complaint is the docs page. If I use Safari on iOS I can only se

A basic install isn’t that difficult nowadays as there’s some good tooling around. The big problem is the subsequent maintenance and that’s why managed K8s is so popular.
