Noise seems like one of those things that everyone just assumes isn't a problem and will just sort itself out.

Consuming meat and factory farming are not directly related things. Meat can just as well be produced by better farming methods or processes like hunting. Doesn't mean that's how people end up getting their meet, but mostly people

So much for "if you're not paying you're the product". Seems like if you're paying, you're still the product.

I'm not sure how I feel about networking but I really like the part about meeting arrangement (Pre-Meeting Motions). It's amazing how drawn-out meeting scheduling can get if you are not proactively concrete about it. I don't

I can't say I've found this to be that strong of a thing. Even big companies don't seem to mind my gap. I'm frankly confused as to why a resume gap would be relevant to anyone. If anything, my resume gap cleared up my he

> If I eat 5 burgers a day and reduce it to 2 a day, I will lose weight. However, no amount of burgers is good. What's so terrible about burgers? From what I can see they're much less harmful than just obesity in and of itself.

People had stable weight without any special knowledge for most of human history. It's something we generally should know how to do automatically. It's very strange to compare it to spaceflight, as if we're only just now disc

This doesn't sound like it was controlled for simply eating less calories.

I never understood how this was supposed to work. Any space where abuse was allowed rather than moderated, the space just became dominated by the abusive and they would overtake the space.

I think a different way to express this problem is comparative measurement vs absolute measurement. If you can make a good chair, you can make a good chair. It shouldn't be too relevant that someone else somewhere can make a good chair

But Stardew Valley is a much better name. You may be right that a good name or a different engine won't save a game, but I don't think the game you chose as your point is one to demonstrate that. > But people really like that g

It's difficult for me to be excited by indie games. Sometimes they can be really great and unique, but a very large amount of indie games are some variation of platformer or roguelike or both. That is great and all, but that area just

I'm not sure how your conclusion follows. Uber drivers and warehouse workers are unlikely to undergo this effect because no matter how good an Uber driver is, they can't be in multiple places at once. Similarly, there's a lim
