Don’t agree actually. Have seen many busy working professionals fall into “extremism” and it’s pretty much always the same. They have a few issues they are firm on and align with o…

I feel like you have an overall rant about transportation you want to make so just make it instead of adding tangential comments to everything If you can't go down any street in an…

the easiest way to understand their value is to be a pedestrian. it is insane how quickly you realize how safe and careful they are vs. humans. the "bugs" with getting stuck in int…

I agree with you as long as it's passive commuting (NOT driving). I had a few jobs / cities with long (45+ minute) commutes and I also got a ton of reading done that I wouldn't I w…

agree with you. my home device is a PC and work is Mac and it switches between them seamlessly

your misrepresentation of the timeline makes your comment meaningless. Germany has been winding down nuclear reactors for 20 years. the only actual story here is that the market tr…

yep. I've tried everything from a bunch of mechanical keyboards to topre keyboards and I finally just came back to the mx keys mini, the magic keyboard mini, and the logitech mecha…

the company makes insane amounts of money. what are you talking about?

It’s too easy to apply now, the acceptance rate is not really a meaningful number

I think you have equity and equality exactly reversed

uber sure....but how did wework survive? they are a smoldering husk of a failed company looted by its founder

I think it's mixed. I have seen people with really good use cases and the opposite. It feels like the AWS/GCP situation all over again. Step 1: "this is amazing tech we need to lev…

ha we did the same thing but had the opposite experience. lots of people willing to help

I'm the same way and I've found there's no real way around it. I've found it's actually a really useful way of thinking for complex projects and planning and prioritization, but ba…

interesting. the meds help me in many ways, but often I still need that activation energy to kick things off

who cares? I'm saying the people that take the jobs for the incredibly risky bets (and everyone knows what is risky) understand the tradeoff--if the bet doesn't work their job is a…

I can pretty much agree with everything you said in the first line but for the second, I guess I don't consider that terrible? they make risky bets, pay people tons and tons of mon…

this seems a little hyperbolic without knowing details. they probably already cut around 5% every year for performance anyway (their performance reviews probably just came out). i …

I feel like your original comment was phrased as "Apple wouldn't build this", when in reality I think (we might mostly agree) is that they would build it ideally, but it might be t…

> Apple makes computers there's quite a bit loaded in your term of "computer" that doesn't really work. if a watch or headphones can eventually be called a computer, then a softwar…

it's any technical specialist in any field in my experience. my partner is a doctor (not a kind that needs great people skills) and I see the same problems. luckily I have worked w…

Lots of people are super sensitive to the “fishiness” of fish sauce. I can taste it with just a few drops in a large dish. I love it now, but it took a while to get used to

Nah fish sauce is different. You can give most midwesterners fish and chips or worcestershire and they’ll be fine with it. But many will find fish sauce initially pungent and repul…

the top level comment is fine. the lame guy's comment was a promotional chatgpt-generated useless tl;dr that added zero information and linked to his own blog post

it is kind of hilarious to hear people just keep making the same arguments as ted kaczynski
