Take it one day at a time. I have been overweight pretty much my whole life, and recently lost about 30 lbs. You have to just take these things a day at a time. You aren't going to lose 30 lbs in a day, a week, or even a month. You nee

I think it's not so black and white. When you eat meat you essentially eat what the animal ate. Wild elk is going to be a different "red meat" from factory farmed beef that ate only low nutrition corn grown with pesticides

When you buy $10 of crypto you are passing that $10 to another person, so the amount of money is unchanged. You receive a promise for $10 for some point in the future essentially. If that goes up, you now have a promise for $12, for example

XMPP, bittorrent, now blockchain. All 3 have the same thing in common that they had high hopes of creating a distributed alternative future for their paradigm. The first 2 fizzled into mostly fringe usage. I guess we'll have to wait an

There has been a meme circulating on Reddit about Roman road quality vs. modern roads with the joke being that we forgot how to make roads. With the response: Roman engineering was phenomenal, there's no denying that. But modern roads

The same is true in other industries. For example, most of the cooking in a professional kitchen is done by the more junior cooking staff. The head chef doesn't actually cook much, but handles more logistics like the ordering of the fo

This is end stage capitalism greed. It's a full blown assault on the consumer. The trust that citizens have in their retails is being mortgaged for desperate profits. The quality of the products is dropping to possibly dangerous levels

That's nothing compared to what worse things could actually be happening. There doesn't seem to be any quality control or authenticity verification on any of these marketplaces including Amazon. Good case scenario the item you buy

Remote vs. in office has no difference in productivity from what I've seen. Most of in office communication is still over slack/chat. When collaboration is needed usually a tv screen is needed to screen share since two people sitt

That's 140 million people. That's 140 million potential voters. It's amazing how well democracies work considering this. I mean that's a pretty drastic example. Imagine for something more obscure and nuanced. It goes to

On the flip side I have thought about getting into reverse osmosis as a side business. Afaik reverse osmosis does remove microplastics and most other harmful things from tap water. And on top of that it makes better tasting tea and coffee i

I just use an sftp server, which you can add a connection to in VLC and explore your files like a file explorer

Is there any examples of using something like a server farm to heat a building in the winter? Removing heat from a server farm through heat exchange with a cold building seems like an efficient combination of two interests (building needs h

VLC is a pretty viable alternative, and it has client apps for pretty much every platform. There could be some basic features added to make it a bit more usable (text search/filtering), but for basic use cases it works pretty good for

If there is any next Google (or Google Search competitor) it would be, in my mind, something like Wolfram Alpha. I can search for things like today + 160 days and get much more rich results (as a simple example). Google does have some featu

What about the Victorian period made this possible? Seems strange that we have so much more wealth and efficiencies now (even just refrigeration/freezers as one example) yet seem to have gone backwards in this regard. What could be the

Yes, but some processes ARE well defined, and you want to ensure the steps of it are all met correctly each time. This could be similar to the checklists airplane pilots use, or surgeons as extreme examples.

I wonder how much of the "managing processes" part could be delegated to software tools? How many of these processes could be automated, or "managed" by some sort of workflow software. Would it be possible with the right

SQL can be somewhat reusable through views. Also in your code you can make reusable functions that contain SQL queries. You won't get the best performance reusing the queries this way, but you can put them into a transaction and build

Will have to read more about Taylorism, thanks for putting this on my radar. I can see how the post reviews could be toxic, but pre estimates could also be toxic especially if estimates suddenly become hard deadlines. I think it comes down

This is why it can be better to just -prioritize- without -estimating-. Make sure you clearly and strategically prioritize the work to do, and plan for continuous delivery, or release milestones. Assume that your engineers will work just as

I don't think "misinformation" is as clear cut as we think it is. For any subject with more than the most trivial complexity there are always multiple ways to view the information. We could say, "Man stabbed another pers
