Does your smarphone give you a weekly report on how many hours per day you're using it? Back in the day we had at least that much time :)

Being an asshole is something you can only be as a result of interaction with others in some way. A perfect hermit can’t be an asshole. Therefore, assuming being an asshole means your interactions with others are negatively felt, you’re the

If "good" is too hard to define, maybe "asshole" is less so? In which case, be the opposite of an asshole.

The exercise is not about whether you'll be missed afterwards. Its to elicit the reflection on "What behaviour in my life would result in that effect?" It's about reflecting on what it takes to be a good person - and the

I think you've missed my point. It's not about what they say. What they say is a reflection of the impact you've had on their lives. It isn't about leaving behind a legacy of "historical impact". The exercise i

I used to worry about being "successful" until I had an epiphany triggered by my father's death. Do you want to know what success is? Visualise the day of your funeral. Who is there? Are they sad, devastated, in tears? Are th

Considering how little actual meat protein can be in 'sausages' and the extent to which 'boutique' sausages make a marketing point of the non-meat content of the sausage, I find it ironic that products reducing the meat

They used to have a port of Safari for Windows. It was as popular as you'd expect. Having said that, WebKit - the engine underpinning Safari - is open source with BSD and LGPL 2.1 compatible licensing ( https://webkit.org&#x2

They don't come with user manuals nor do we. No one hands you a rule book. Don't beat yourself up. Strive to do better. Don't be proud. Be open to learning. The single biggest example you can set your kids is to show them tha

Back then, most parents were way too busy to be helicopter parents. Kids were left to their own devices. I grew up with swings in our backyard that were a death trap. The seats were thick, heavy planks of solid wood connected to the frame b

Serious question. With the data that companies have already sucked up on lots of people, there's technically little in the way of them creating such "mimics". Is there anything legally preventing them from doing so without a

> make it go faster by putting in additional work I feel this is slightly wrong. I’ve observed the kinds of people most likely to lose their money in this way don’t want to put in additional “work”. They want (hope for) additional “woo”.

I'll take this seriously when proponents of nuclear energy are happy to invest in the absence of something like the Price-Anderson Nuclear Industries Indemnity Act (TL;DR - the act socialises any costs above $15B for insurable events).

I mistook H1N1 to be a reference to COVID-19 hence assumed parent had mistakenly written years instead of months. The mistake was mine. H1N1 is swine flu which indeed goes back years.

by phs318u 4y ago
Not that anybody's going to see this now, but I apologise for mistaking H1N1 in the parent for COVID, which is why I assumed they had made a mistake (years/months). For anybody else who like me assumed so - H1N1 refers to swine fl

I agree with your point, but there's no need for the snarky tone. This is HN.

Doh! Forgot about that. In Australia foreign born citizens of Australia can stand for parliament (and hence qualify to be PM) as long as they’ve renounced any other citizenship (or right to another citizenship).

Could you please provide a reference to the EMA report you’re referring to. I assume EMA stands for European Medicines Agency. If so, the numbers of side effects or adverse reactions listed on this page are not alarming to me. https:/

Do you really think that most US voters are high-information voters? No. But they are high-motivation voters. Again, this hits at the fundamental difference - one voting system is about the overall stability of the society, in the other its
