I'm successful and I'm lazy as shit. These lists are always coming from survivor bias.

It varies by plant type, health, and other factors. So it's hard to be specific. https://www.sciencefocus.com/science/how-many-plants-would-i... >back-of-an-envelope calculations suggest you’d need around 400 h

Yeah I get that. In retrospect I should have forwarded the emails to Glassdoor directly.

I never participated. They had no way to enforce it without being really creepy. Younger employees always did it, a lot of people generally felt like they weren't doing their job if they said no.

>I don't feel like I can trust anything to make an objective measure other than organic word of mouth and simply experiencing it for myself. This is basically accurate. Everyone has bias so you can only trust someone if you're

Yeah this happened at my old employer. They got one bad (warranted) review and told everyone to get on their phones (off the company network) to give good reviews. They'd push this initiative occasionally. I reported it to Glassdoor an

You'd need hundreds of houseplants to mitigate the co2 created by one person completely, I am not sure if a few would be better than nothing.

Everybody wants _their_ own air and water to be clean. The problematic people are the ones who don't care if your water/air is dirty because it benefits them.

Facebook is very clearly ethically bad from the top down. It's less clear with the others.

This is anecdotal of course; I've been vegan for 20 years and have never taken supplements. I'm skinny, but my bone density and concentration are fine. I've never had a cavity in my life. I'm not super old yet, but I don

Yeah I knew this when I got the haveibeenpwned email about it. Just brushed it off with a "oh, that password is making the rounds again." The password in question was compromised something like 5+ years ago. Having a 20 character

I run a forum for my family. Don't have to worry about shit. People can use it as much as they want. Invite their friends, etc.

Might not be as much as you expect. Boats are notoriously expensive to maintain. Not to mention docking fees, etc. In other parts of the country owning a houseboat will definitely cost you more than owning a house. At that point, why not mo

>Still, if someone comes along who can actually deliver on the search quality then the market will change. Not really? We've already been here. We had multiple search engines of similar quality. Google came along as a superior produ

Same, there's some personal preference too. I don't always want to be shoved into the extreme bubble that Google builds for people. DDG is much better for searches that I don't want personalized results for.

Also worth noting that they cited wearing glasses as a more significant factor. Worrying about screen time is less warranted than worrying about whether or not your kid wears glasses .

It's not and they know it. You think ad agencies use their best talent on display advertising? Shit no. No one cares.

Doesn't Nintendo publish Mario games directly? I can do without FIFA COD and AC, personally. They're probably burning up the time of developers with good ideas rather than producing anything actually interesting (though of course

I would hope that those people would at this point realize that the upset about the GDPR was completely overblown?

If that were true wealth wouldn't becoming more concentrated. People love to jump to population as an issue, but in most cases it's not a problem. On a global scale there's still more than enough to go around.

Sure but the Great Depression and squandered fortunes are extreme examples. The median in the US is being completely hammered without any extreme circumstance at play.

All companies will eventually end, but it's crazy how big Sears was and how far they fell in a short time. At one point they were selling mail-order DIY houses!

Free preschool isn't incredibly widespread, but I wouldn't be surprised if increasing daycare costs are causing more people to drop out of the workforce to care for their kids. It's certainly complex.

Not surprising considering for the past 2-3 generations we've been seeing kids often worse-off than their parents. Crippling student debt, insane healthcare costs, soaring housing prices in major cities. People are anxious and things a
