There certainly are constructive responses to it, nothing wrong with that. For me, I'm just a little wary of letting the need take over. I try to reduce the sense of need so that the stuff you're talking about ends up coming from

Ignoring for a minute that this sounds like a sly promo for Squid Game (mentioned 10 times), we're all grown-ups here who have taken Econ 101, right? If demand is outstripping supply, the price goes up and tamps down the demand and&#x2

One of the smartest things I ever did was to just sort of quietly quit putting so much effort into pleasing all the people I used to depend on to reinforce my self-esteem or sense-of-self or whatever-it-is. I kind of died, and was reborn as

It's not anti-foreigner hate in that case, it's the desperate status posturing of an expat trying to convince themselves there's a difference between them and a tourist.

The question was about propaganda, which happens on both social media and traditional media.

I see your point, but just want to draw a line between something you ingest willingly that affects only you, and something foisted semi-secretly on the entire public by a special interest (basically to make cars and/or fuel more market

These are good but it's important to keep it in perspective. You might not need to optimize every day between now and then for what you think you're going to regret then. People who aren't dying have different needs, like pay

If you were looking for a generational segmentation you would have to compare different generational cohorts at similar ages (meaning a long-term study) to have any hope of controlling for people's having different levels of maturity,

This is good for developers but there are two important unknowns if you're an end user: 1) You don't know whether the service or site employs best practices e.g. throttling. (Although you might be able to test that yourself if you

An efficient market isn't necessarily the goal of human life, and a free market can be "bad." Nothing substantive to contribute to a detailed discussion otherwise, but keep this in mind.

It shows simultaneously how crazy it currently is, and why it'll never change (at least not on that time scale)!

If the kid's time were a limitless, free resource, and they also weren't subject to any stigma from repeating a grade, or any negative effect from being taken away from their age cohort a.k.a. "friends," then sure why n

Great piece that satisfies my Facebook blood-lust. Seeing the ad for the first time is definitely a WTF experience too. A bit too honest in spite of itself. Are they tone-deaf as usual, or actually trying to normalize a world that just sort

Last thing I saw was "The son of two high school English teachers, Pontzer grew up on 40 hectares of woods in the Appalachian bla bla bla..." You know that sentence. So many articles have that sentence. The one where it veers off

The link to the protests is a bit spurious. Not just the banks went offline. My employer (that I assure you has nothing to do with banking or Canada) had network outages too. And for that matter, every outage is "mysterious," unti

Yeah we dodged a bullet on ours. The only reason we got it was because a previous cash offer fell through at the last minute.

It's unclear whether that post is based on multiple similar job experiences, or just the single job they're currently in. But the last time I felt like that person (constantly considering what else to do instead) it was actually j

I would tend to look at your use of car services more like spending money you can now afford, to deal with cars only temporarily and reap only the benefits, rather than being stricken with the albatross of ownership. That said, I do concur

I would probably model "old fashionedness" as a question of "when was this word's popularity peak?" i.e. how long ago (how "old") was the time at which this word was at its most popular (most in "fash

If it were true as AdriaanvRossum said above that Simple Analytics data has "no identifiers" (taking that at face value for now) then that seems exactly analogous to those cash transactions someotherperson describes.
