    I just trust my accountant will use excel and what they are doing isn't rocket science. I have no interest interacting with someone who is going to get into how great the slide rul…

    I am not a dev but there is obviously a supply vs demand problem or you would at least be getting a single interview. There is also a marketing problem in that everyone thinks they…

    I have an idea for the PlayStation 6. How to build it, the labor, the design, the marketing and the capital? Thats where you come in! Classic Sacha Baron Cohen joke.

    IMO these are just shitty examples. Harry Partch - 2 Studies on Ancient Greek Scales is amazing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6IinoChSVA There is also an acquired taste for non…

    These all largely bullshit IMO. The best recommendations are from humans who love music and you also share their taste in music. Once every few years an amazing recommendation bubb…

    Totally agree. I just posted above my first impression was exactly 1998 Geocities. That is probably priming the hiring manager to look for things on the CV they feel would also be …

    My first impression is that it looks like my Geocities website from 1998 with an even worse color scheme. That is going to frame everything about the person as "outdated" and littl…

    You make it up like everything else in fitness, sometimes pretending there is some kind of bad science behind the ideas. Sometimes not. Jim Wendler really summed up fitness to me. …

    I am super picky when it comes to art and I think these look like complete shit when compared to what I have seen from Sora. Not even in the same ballpark. Even when things are wro…

    I have had my first legal weed experiences in the past year in New York and even the lowest THC % at the legal weed store is stronger than anything I use to get on the black market…

    The problem with these things is they stack on each other and we never go backwards. Any single aspect is not a problem so much and someone will argue the merits of why it is a goo…

    Totally agree. This article is just terrible. We love to romanticize the path not taken too. If I look at the mistakes I have made in my life, if I could go back and change them I …

    Anyone who posts that is an obvious idiot that you shouldn't listen to about anything. Just someone who either has nothing to do with music or does but has an absolutely obnoxious …

    Couldn't agree more with all this. I would love to rent a Tesla exactly as mentioned but waiting 30 minutes at the start or the end is just unacceptable to me. I would need to be g…

    I would just add that I think I have encountered situations that knowing the weighted average answer from the training data for topics I didn't previously understand created better…

    No doubt. I find these churches amazingly beautiful. I also think in the sense of how a church in 1500 was not a relic of the past the way we view a church from 1500 today. I would…

    I would say this is the definition of a sub culture. A bubble in this context has the connotation of ignorance of what is outside the bubble.

    I just don't agree at all. For most sports, the best seat is at home on your couch watching on your giant tv. For most sports, the reason to not sit at home watching on your giant …

    You wouldn't have this insane law though if the internet never existed. The free world that evolved after WW2 is simply not compatible with the internet.

    I love art and philosophy and I think categorizing philosophy an art is simply wrong. So wrong I don't think this is even worth the time to think about.

    I don't expect to ever want to retire. I took 2022 and 2023 off to do independent research while living on savings. I didn't find a job because of finances but because of being unb…

    I am old, the biggest difference from when I was 20 to now is when I was 20 I knew I wasn't going to be the star of my own TV sitcom. There is this constant barrage of bullshit now…
