   The music app is also really slow to boot up. Ten years ago it was automatic. Just a huge performance regression.

   Nope, we need to leave the fossil fuels in the ground or Earth won't be suitable for human habitation.

   This is great news but I wish people would start talking about total energy and not just electric generation. They’re still using a ton of gas and oil for heating and transportation. It would be good to be honest about this.

   Read “Feeling Good” by John Burns, and be sure to do the exercises in the book.

   I don’t know anything about electronics, but I would like it if the replacement cost for home appliance control boards wasn’t $300. Making it a cheap interchangeable part would really cut down on waste.

   I had something similar happen — when my streak ended Duolingo asked me for $38 to restore it. It made me feel manipulated and sick to my stomach. I didn’t use it again for three months. Now I’ve turned off the leagues and try not to get su

    A good solution would be if the news media wasn’t owned by billionaires.

    Based on what I read in anthropology classes, yeah, there actually wasn’t that much stress or food insecurity in small scale societies. Cooking was time-consuming but there wasn’t much else to do but hang out with your friends and mash yams

    The dollar’s exceptional liquidity makes it more valuable, which is good for people who have dollars, but it’s bad for people whose costs are in dollars (American exporters). The dollar’s strength since the earlier 1980s (the first major fl

    I know! I didn’t even have to ask for help in Japan. I think seeing a tourist holding a map is all they need to spring into action. Gotta keep those tourists out of trouble. I like how police officers in other countries look like normal hum

    I love the police boxes. When I was in Japan the officers helped me a lot with directions and reading maps.

    Enforcement systems like this stress me out because I hate being policed. It’s much better to have the routine of a cashier or a turnstile than to be randomly inspected and assumed guilty until proven innocent.

    Tyler Cowen’s whole gimmick is to play dumb and distract people from the actual issue. Back when unemployment was 10% he wrote about “zero marginal product” people. He literally called people useless. As if the financial crisis was caused b

    Natives are also great because when you go out into the woods you can recognize plants from your garden! Sadly, garden souls are often in much worse shape than what natives need (usually very compacted and lacking in organic matter). Some n

    Over the years my lawn has shrunk to nothing as my flowerbeds and shrubs expanded. Now my garden is full of hummingbirds most of the year. It makes me so happy to see the little critters buzzing around. I also get a lot of other birds too,

    I found some good advice on one of the slides: Make sure your computer is in a PRIVATE location. Don’t walk away from it and leave your work exposed. Password protect your monitor screen – with a short cycle. Save and log off if you’re goi

    Have you been on the same team the whole time? I’ve found that how I feel about my work and my productivity has a lot to do with what kind of team I’m on. I don’t like being the superstar (too much pressure) and I hate being around a real s

    I love how everyone is susposed to be an expert in medical billing now. It’s hopeless. There’s no way people can beat the system on their own. Hospital chains, private equity, billing software consultants, these people are gunning for you e

    If you’re the kind of person is always troubled by something (most people are), directing that unsettled nagging feeling into your work is the best thing you can do.
