A full bus sounds like a great problem to have. Imagine if every single person in that bus decided to take a 4 seater car to their destination instead.

Do the same thing. There's still a human behind the wheels.

I agree with you but it sometimes seems like Google doesn't care at all about it when they have the kind of customer support processes that they have.

I think it's more a generational thing. If Gen X grew up on arcades and the Atari (guessing), and Millennials on games like Quake or NES games, then Gen Z grew up on Minecraft and Gen Alpha on Roblox. Until VR technology gets better I

If we use relativity to explain certain phenomena and the theory fits but it turns out that in the future, there's a much more complete explanation then people will probably look back and say that relativity was the wrong steps to the

Genuine question: 2020 feels like the biggest shock to the economy in a while yet it was one of the best years for most big businesses. If Jeff Bezos didn't feel the shock from 2020 then when will he feel the shock?

It's a bad argument because if someone else makes a better product then they deserve to get more users. Nothing's stopping Apple from implementing those optimizations into Safari. That's the whole reason we have competition.

Usable has many meanings and to me personally, a website that isn't very responsive and lags when you scroll doesn't seem very usable.

I had similar fears when implementing a large table with some data visualization during one of my first forays into web development. I had noticed how slow things with 100 elements were let alone 1000. When I wrote my code that handled much

Slippery slope only applies if there's actually a slippery slope to slide down. Nothing about this change indicates that Wikipedia will start charging the general public for access.

Biology is one field that seems to be making massive breakthroughs recently. On the other hand, it seems like a lot of theoretical sciences like Physics haven't have similar breakthroughs in decades.

I can't be the only person who downloaded mp3s from Limewire and uploaded to my iPod. I think a lot of my friends did that too. Were the majority of iPod users already locked in by that point through the iTunes ecosystem? If so, what l

This may be a controversial opinion, but I think some level of surveillance can be good for people. If you are convicted for a crime, you should be able to use records to prove your innocence (eg. cell tower logs to show that you were nowhe

I think Facebook's stated goal is at odds with the way the platform presents itself and how people use it. Facebook should be a great way to connect with people new and old and keep in touch with other people's lives and maybe pla

My biggest problem with TikTok is that it make you feel better when you come away even when you got nothing of value from it. I rarely remember what I saw 5 videos ago even if it's something that I thought was great.

The best example I've seen is the birthday paradox. How likely is it for 2 people in a N person class to have the same birthday? You can solve this deterministically using math pretty easily. But if you modify the question to ask how l

I think Chrome being the largest browser provider could make big profits from partnering with other search providers to make one the default search engine.

Hades is the perfect balance of this. Short runs while still allowing some amount of progression.

There's a game called Atrio which is probably closer to Factorio than Stardew Valley but you might enjoy it. I've heard good things about Animal Crossing too although I've never played it.

One pretty big (and relatively unknown) law is that your doctor needs to give you your vision prescription so you can buy glasses elsewhere (usually for much cheaper). I think a lot of them get around this by letting you look for glasses wh

I agree in general but there are some places where gray areas benefit the employer more than the employee and I think this is one of them. If everyone is forced to cheat the regulations to get their jobs done then it's no longer just a

Wouldn't hardware revenue be much higher than software revenue because costs are equally high?

Torrents aren't necessarily illegal so I'm not sure why running a website called "kickasstorrents" is relevant. I've seen a lot of software legally distributed using torrents where even the software creators link to

I've also heard of Athens [ https://github.com/athensresearch/athens#athens ] which is similar to Roam and can be self hosted. I haven't compared it to logseq though.

I'm not sure what you're saying? That someone's not a real engineer unless they can implement a hash table? Firstly, I don't think any programmers are classified as engineers by law in some countries. Secondly, I don&#x2

I think doing things for the first time is still something you can get better at. Although you're working on brand new problems all the time, you can still improve at skills like digesting the problem, splitting it into subproblems, de

The Dunbar number is about individual connections. The exponential scaling comes from the number of possible subgroups. I might have 5 close friends but each pair of friends has a different interest. From 5 friends, we have 15 interests. Wi
