Oh OK. So just the internet, not real life then. There's your problem. It is a medium primarily focused on entertainment and spectacle, not a scientific poll and reflection of deep…

And my point that I've repeated over and over, is that the benefit of exercise is far broader than just merely numerically burning calories. It is in all these other beneficial eff…

Even something as commonplace as chewing more carelessly will result in finding seeds in your faeces. But what's the point of giving you more specific examples? You seem to be eage…

If so, those people are foolish. Aesthetics and moral fashions (of this kind) come and go, but your body's health is for life. BTW: The majority of people where? Where do you see t…

Wow. That is sad, and reflective of the world you live in and people you associate with I guess. But healthiness can be measured pretty objectively through health outcomes, and hig…

It's a market for lemons. Without redoing their work or finding a way to have deep trust (which is possible, but uncommon at a bigcorp) it's hard enough to tell who is earnest and …

Maybe, but so what? Exercise has so many positive second order effects, and then those may help with weight loss indirectly. - Improved mood, focus, calm, etc, make it easier and m…

Build times always were my biggest Scala complaint. Arguably code base specific, as I suspect it had a lot to do with all the macros and type level metaprogramming, but, if that ki…

Maybe the fixed costs of a shoe factory production line, in 2024, with centuries of production experience, are lower than those of a top of the line smartphone.

> We have immigration (illegal or otherwise) to stave off demographic cliffs. As much as the right hates illegal immigration, it is mostly Christians and they integrate well. Indee…

That's the nice thing about the Bay Area, you get to have the best of both -- live in a shoebox with no green space AND commute for hours to your job.

> Our diet consists of a lot more than grains. Ideally, yes, but there's a reason they're called staples. It's very easy to have a diet where most of the _calories_ if not actual v…

Location: Philadelphia Remote: Remote, hybrid, or onsite Willing to relocate: No, but can commute as far as NYC or DC (but further commutes should correlate with fewer days in offi…

My guess is that despite the strong long term overall link, it's too difficult to draw a meaingful link between any particular executive decision on this and any particular outcome…

I'm speaking from a practical cooking perspective, not a technical physics perspective. The radiation from flames or the sun affects food very differently than microwaves do. For t…

Because microwaves don't heat matter. They heat* H2O molecules. This one weird fact is responsible for all of the weird differences between how they cook and how other more classic…

Correct. Thank you. This is exactly how I and most other Spanish-speaking hispanics I've talked to about it take it. It's usually someone who doesn't know Spanish using it, and the…

Very well put. Ageism too. It's a way for the young to feel superior to the old without having to actually accomplish anything. Too lazy to study the past? Just say it all sucks an…

The IKEA cafeteria in South Philly is the best place to see a really good view of the SS United States, because of the proximity, the angle, and the cafeteria's gorgeous floor to c…

Sounds like you're in a good place then. If you have all that, you don't need high pay. You just need pay.

Exactly, which is why it gives you a leg up on everyone who isn't willing to live in a major metro. If you're raising kids, you probably want this anyway. What kind of schools and …

That's an arm's length transaction with a counterparty you'll never see again. An employer-employee relationship lasts for years, perhaps many years, and requires the employee to a…

It's also a shady technique some companies use to preemptively soften up a candidate they genuinely want for negotiations. They really want you but don't want you to think that so …

Are you focusing on remote or are you able and willing to go on site at least part of the time in a major metro market?

Why do people like yourself have such an allergy to becoming familiar with the past? It is as small-minded to be parochially bound to your own time as it is to your own country. Th…
