The unfortunate reality is that mankind as we know it, probably developed to the level it did, in part due to the consumption of meat. Meat is absolutely PACKED with bioavailable nutrients in a way that most plant products simply aren'

Similar experience. Had an app reviewer when my app first launched, who was complaining that 2FA was failing for them, so they couldn't allow the app to go live. I was livid. It had worked for EVERY beta tester. It turns out it was 10

This becomes much more difficult if you want to cut down on a habit, but not cut it out completely. Take video games. Sure, you could throw out your Playstation and the temptation is no longer there. But what if you want to play just 1 hou

There has got to be a more legit pathway than crypto or westen union, right? CA is on the path to legalizing sports betting. If there are no payment providers that are less seedy than that, then there is definitely a market for one.

Isn't that such an interesting thing to think about. They're "rare" as a percentage, but because of their abundance, they're not "rare" at all.

Thank you! I appreciate the summary. That actually helped a lot... I'm reading through some of the articles on this website, but feel like I'm lacking some prerequisite knowledge. I find this stuff very interesting just, a bit

I'm trying to read this, but a lot of it is way over my head. Would you mind explaining it?

That's interesting. I drink a lot of coffee, and I have for over a decade. I did quit for 1 month a couple years ago, and didn't notice much of a difference. Maybe I need to give it more time.

Thanks for helping re-frame the problem. Anxiety is an interesting way of looking at it. I just read the Feynman text you linked, and it was inspiring. When I started programming, I did it because I enjoyed it. I found it fun. I was jus

This outlook of "the only good jobs are fancy tech jobs" is entirely false, and largely propagated by the media. Yes, tech jobs are nice right now. But there are plenty of other good paying options.

How is the ability to leave at your own time, have your own dedicated cabin, and ability to stop nearly anywhere, even in the same ballpark as a Tram...?

I wish governments would consider the death and injury toll of manually driving, and fastlane (pun intended) infrastructure for self driving cars, such as specific roads and lanes.

I'd love to be in that position. I have a strong resume too, and I'm more than ready to be rewarded for it with a high paying job which I can more or less cruise in. So count your blessings!

I think you're downplaying something here. You got hired as a manger, so at the very least, you must have had a pretty prosperous and impressive background as an engineer for some time. You might be cruising now, but snapshots of one&#

You have 20+ years of experience, so what is your title now? You mention you're main tech lead so... VP of engineering? CTO?

It's impossible for an organization on Google's scale to recognize everyone's potential perfectly, and match them with a perfectly challenging and rewarding position. At the end of the day, even Google has mundane jobs still

Exactly my thinking... I just made a comment asking basically the same thing - Could this have just been an IMAGE projected via a satellite.

I wonder... Could you project an image into the atmosphere via satellite. Maybe this was just an image. It accelerated with apparently 0 mass. It left no exhaust plumes. It was invisible to radar EVEN as they got close. Fit's all the c

But they use the same argument to justify project based pay. You could just take longer, there's no way to know what the cost will be, etc.

Yes, I do and I think a lot of it has been driven by hard and fast (reckless) development of really odd frameworks like react native: class AnimatedCollapsible extends React.Component { state = {expanded: false}; render() { return (
