Some neighborhoods are pedestrian friendly but yes generally not. Biking ain’t great but downtown is making progress. I’ll just add mine here: Pros: decent chef-driven dining scene, active downtown due to sports and conferences, affordable,

Edina= “every day I need attention”, if I recall from growing up near there. I disagree though. MN is colder but less windy so you get those crisp calm, blue sky winter days in Jan-Feb that make the winter more survivable. But you gotta be

I found it to be good for casual people economic history. Wasn’t overly “economics” in the technical sense.

This. It’s a great little system for such use cases. It is mainly falling out of favor for new development because it’s hard to find devs. But in terms of quickly getting automation equipment designed and running it’s a workhorse.

And the advantage is after covid there are a good number available 2nd hand (craigslist, fb) as some people return to the office and don't want it in their home anymore.

I’ve adopted a concept in the article of a “sabbath” from my smartphone. It stays plugged into its charger one day a week. I’ve found it to be quite refreshing.

Came to say just this. The linked article and the paper rest of the same false assumptions that Malthus made.

Coming from a major metro area in the Midwest, on my recent visit to San Fran you could get to MANY more useful things in a 15 min walk. Because of its density, I don’t think San Fran has a real transportation problem to speak of (for those

I have a PhD in Physics and got a little lost in the abstract myself, so don’t feel bad! It’s very dense sentences with pretty technical jargon. After a few re-reads and spot checking some forgotten condensed matter terms of art it made (so

One of the striking things about working in big enterprise is the number of policies , rules, guidelines especially in industries governed by industry regulators (eg ISO, FDA). Those with proper knowledge of the arcane bureaucratic systems

Best as we can tell, it wasn’t a hoax. It was a poorly understood experiment (and perhaps premature arxiv preprint). It’s very similar to the “faster than speed of light” puzzle from a few years back. It doesn’t harm scientific integrity.

Yeah but you know plenty of how science gets done if you go do science. The goal of a scientific paper is to concisely convey what novel thing has been discovered. It is not to convey how science gets done. PhD thesis are sometimes good pla

Mindless things like sitting on the porch, idly staring at the wall, or people watching sure. This is the fallow time that enables future growth. Idly dopamine dripping on internet is like spraying salt on your fields. Nothings going to gro

“my very long term relationships”?! i think you and I have a different conception of what long term is… Long term is like 30 years, not 5. What makes real long term relationships work isn’t common interests. It’s commitment.

Bluntly, this sounds exactly like a "as seen on tv" testimonial. No one denies the product was compelling / successful. It's just that fitness products are an incredibly fad-ish market. Something else will come along and

After just moving from a 2009 to a 2023 vehicle (both Ford), I agree. I’m overall happy with the tech improvements, despite the occasional bond-headed software implementation. I say this as someone who used to be a “stick-driving don’t put

Discord is groups > channels > messages but doesn’t use threads (I believe). MS Teams is groups > channels > threads > messages But yea this does feel like forum arrangement. Which is really the most useful format for longer

I saw a bright green huge one in Portland, Oregon USA in the 2004-2006 time period. Only tool I had was my eyes and brain to recall it (and I can still recall it well). I told a few people about it and moved on. I’m guessing that’s the most

I just gotta say, banking has changed a ton since 1870. Then banks going bust was normal. Now everyone freaks out. It must be nice having a banking system where “bank loses my money” is not the major systemic risk.

Yea, it’s from a pretty green manager it seems. Not great advice to engineers.

Well connected people that VPs in pharma listen to. It’s not an impenetrable network but it’s based on history of working together. You find one willing to vouch for you and it will at least open doors. I’m not so confident there are king m

It’s your job. You don’t “push” your kids. You instruct them, set expectations, and enforce the expected behavior. General advice for kids and phones: - no phones before 12 yr old - shared phones between 12-16 (with other siblings or the “h

Highly recommend you study history a bit more. If you truly think religion only “sticks” in the presence of coercion… well there’s a lot of history that would be hard to understand.

“Makes it seem punitive” um… are you concerned about that? It’s the whole point to be punitive. And there are supposed to be life altering consequences for actions we take. Certainly there are problems with corporations not bearing the cost
