I quit caffeine on a regular basis, every few years I'll quit, go a year or two without, then go back on, usually because of something like having to do a lot of international travel where it absolutely helps. When I quit I do a contro

Another option for self medication is exercise. I've been an endurance exercise addict off and on for my whole life, it can take the place of many of your self medications, or if you can't give those up, it can at least nullify t

Copy paste? What are you trying to do, exfiltrate company secrets? Security turned off that feature to protect us all.

Yeah the real difference with tech, at least as it's been for the last while, is you can do it after 10-20 years. I've had a very middling career overall and after about 15 years I'm very close to being able to just move on

Police stop taking reports of crimes they will not pursue or won't be prosecuted. There is no "fact" saying how much crime is occurring, only a snapshot of how many reports were accepted and filed by the police.

It's more than the risk free return. It's also fees. Whatever the fee percentage is, all in, to get a dollar out of the platform and back into cash on a winning bet, plus the risk free rate over the time period, that's your u

You don't need to prosecute any buyers at all though. All you need to do is make it illegal to sell in shops, and illegal to import. There will be a black market, sure, but how many people are going to go through the trouble and expe

As someone reaching 40 myself, it's funny the author doesn't realize they are just getting older. Not all, but most people, as they age, start to lose that wanderlust that they had in their youth. Like the author I have been on

Brother has color lasers FWIW. If you're talking about photo printing IMO you go up to the professional class of printer or you just send out your printing to a photo printing establishment and let them deal with the mess.

Good for Norway I guess? Like I said, it was never an issue, and I drove on roads that were consistently snow covered. Just drive slower. I used to pass a lot of vehicles stuck in snow banks off the highway after they had passed me at hi

Funny because right now my son is busy building a "Doors" clone in Roblox Studio. I don't think it will have any logic but he loves just building the map so far. He's 7.

Honestly I did fine with FWD and no snow tires on my 97 Ford escort in college in the snow belt (200+ inches of snow a year). People love to waste money on AWD/4WD.

Yes I believe so. Founders will claim your interest is aligned with theirs to keep the cap table clean, but in my experience you can't determine the true market clearing price for your owned shares without marketing them outside the cu

Personally those days were the easiest to connect with people. Now I have some people who only use Messenger, others who only use WhatsApp, others who only use Signal, etc. Back then I just fired up Trillium and to me it was all the same.

Why would an authoritarian government give up a preassembled internal border checkpoint? Makes sense for them to keep it.

This is a good articulation of something I've noticed more and more recently with Google News. I used to feel like I was getting a broad overview of the news of the day by browsing it... Increasingly it feels like a filter bubble const

If they are so low quality, then let them in and let them fail in the marketplace. I don't think they are so bad. Fleet buses are basically a completely different business btw, that has really nothing to do with private car quality,

They should just take away the Chinese tariffs at this point so BYD and Geely can come in and clean the US automakers out. Any idiot can see that a cheap EV or even hybrid is all people want, but no one wants to deliver it.

The average American has hardly anything saved for retirement. So imagine living a spartan existence while your friends die off around you (if you even had many, men in the US largely don't), your body fails you in more and more ways e

Very nice, thanks for the write up :). I was thinking about how you could get route maps, without actually having to source shape files. Given you are tracking trains every minute, you could probably build up your own route maps by droppi

Very nice and sneaky article. It seems like a cheerleading article at first but if you read to the end you can see the cutting criticism, delivered in a way that makes perfect sense if you've lived it, but you might even miss much of

Why don't you just find a maker space, become a regular there, and help people with their projects? You get all the benefits of owning one without any of the downsides.

For a long time it really was. The cost of living increases didn't eat up all the salary increases. I think even today it might still be the case, if you consider all of total comp (base, bonus, and stock), but not quite like they he

Absolutely. The decision gets worse and worse as you progress, as well. We spec'ed out living in a city, just about any city, and economically it is such a hit for a family, on top of safety concerns (not just from crime but also jus

I've noticed this in other contexts as well (new cars, restaurant prices, tipping norms skyrocketing) - Americans don't seem to value frugality anymore. Despite all the complaining about these prices, people are obviously still p

Right, also the state has a vested interest here, because patients bankrupting themselves on snake oil will result in more public money being spent on treatment.

Lived in Singapore for 3 years. It was probably the best place I've ever lived. Zero crime. Public transit everywhere. Everything walkable. Everything clean. Parks were beautiful. Food at hawker centers was so cheap it was cheap
