but that's kind of the problem. people insist that they need "the BEST", so they hop on a plane to get the picture-perfect locale that they see online at the expense of hollowing out anything that is merely "pretty good&

I think the more interesting story here wouldn’t be the “over tourism” of the globally desirable internet-famous locations— It’s all the little regional resort towns and tourism destinations that are now ignored. All over the US are locatio

Im convinced that car seat rules have played a big role in shaping child socialization. When was a kid, you were done with your car seat by elementary school so one parent could offer to carpool a minivan full of kids to/from an event.

I wonder whether housing plays a factor. Young people aren’t becoming homeowners at the same rate, so there’s a sense of transience to their living situations that make forming neighbor communities seem like a waste of time.

News site/app that I’d like to see: Track major new sites over time and build a portal that lets you see the front page news with some time delay (1 month, 3 month, 1 year) and annotate each story with “what happened since then?” Too o

Decades ago in my first abnormal psych course, the prof warned us that there was an almost iron-clad law that students will immediately start self diagnosing themselves with “weak” versions of every disorder we learn about. In my years sinc

She could still do a few years of PhD training and still be a super young prof like those two. At 17 she’s so young that a uni hiring her would need to think about child labor laws

But what does somebody do with a PhD at age 17? I can’t imagine hiring them as a prof when they’re so young. It’s not a bad idea to just take a couple years to continue your already productive collaboration while getting mentored on the non

When I left big tech for doing tech at a nonprofit, I had to keep reminding myself that even though I took a 66% pay cut I was still making ~double the median wage. By all accounts the job I had with a pay cut was still seen as a “good, hig

A few years back I left “big tech” for a much lower paying tech-ish job that had a meaningful mission. I was fine having a lower paying job, but what I didn’t expect was that the lower pay meant that the skill level for my colleagues was al

The way I often hear it expressed has nothing to do with small efficiency changes or benchmarking and it’s more of a yagni/anticipating hyper scale issue. For example, adding some complexity to your code so it can efficiently handle a

Prediction: Once the industry has to acknowledge a plateau, there’ll be a pivot to “human in the loop” products. But instead of discussing their inability to do full automation, they’ll play up the ethics of preserving jobs for humans

imo, it's better to have a million bands dicking around and having fun playing terrible shows for crowds of ten people than a hundred polished superstar groups playing sold out arenas.

How many financially self-sustaining musicians should there be? Streaming has caused the number to fall, but recorded music before that likely made it fall as well. Should we stop thinking about music as a job and start thinking about it
