I think that almost definition implies you didn't post anything that disqualifies you. It's probably really easy to circumvent too if you're committed to (e.g., deactivate your acc…

If it's not diet and exercise, what is it? Obesity is a relatively new problem. GLP-1 also seems to work - primarily through addressing diet. So again, curious what you mean when y…

It is an interesting space - where do you think it'll play out from here? Lots of money quietly flowing into the space from big players.

TikTok forced instagram to go down the route of short form videos that source content from outside your immediate network. The most attention capturing innovations will take the ma…

Just in time works until it doesn't. For the last decade plus companies made outsized profit by squeezing their supply chains to the bare minimum. Then covid hit and it all fell ap…

A lot of people were smithing in the English world. Or perhaps they were just especially fecund.

I'm not white and I don't find it awful at all working with white men.

From a purely logical point of view - there's not much point to anything humans do. Can you break down what the logic of pride should be? Any who determines what that should is. Yo…

Not sure yet. I got a starling hub, which makes my google devices HomeKit compatible. So maybe something by Abode... haven't thought it through yet. Glad the industry is moving tow…

Pride or shame is by definition a feeling not legal culpability. A feeling. Human brains seem wired to have strong feelings about their kin or tribe. So, yes, I would think having …

After years of investing into Google Home, I'm trying to unwind it. The assistant devices have gotten buggier and less responsive. The TV is bloated with ever more ads and suggeste…

Frame your argument a little differently - you're saying you can't be proud / ashamed of anything your parents have done (that you didn't contribute to).

Makes sense - if I look at the overall Japan numbers, they look pretty flat (seems like foreign nationals are plugging some of the decline). Curious what happens when there's a rea…

Curious how all these advanced economies will deal with structural deflation when there is decreasing customer demand and consumption for most types of goods. Example - do house pr…

Right, said another way, is driving a completely deterministic activity or does it sometimes require general intelligence. If it's not completely deterministic, then you might need…

I don't really know what the LLM of cryptocurrency would mean. With AI the goalposts are very easy to understand. What is a better crypto? Are we waiting for, some novel computatio…

Commercial loans are priced higher than residential. The higher risk of default is built into the economics. The bank also has rights on the property after it goes into default. Th…

People can delude themselves into thinking they have an edge in sports prediction skills. There's no analogous delusion for lotto.

I think sports is much easier to understand than shitcoins, and the payout cycles are much faster than waiting for a cryto vehicle to go up over an unspecified period of time.

The B58 is such a great all around engine. Performance, reliability, efficiency, upgradeability. Heck, even Toyota used it in their sports car (Supra)

Hard to tell what's happening here without more context. There's no dearth of Pro-palestinian viewpoints being shared on Meta platforms - so 1 account being banned is likely just i…

Agreed. As an immigrant myself - I think this gets lots on both sides of politics. Everyone talks about how the country is being ruined - when really its got the most advantages re…

Are you being cheeky - I can't tell. Many people would argue that cities developed after the advent of the car are not as livable as cities developed before cars.

It's been true for a long time that people working at that store couldn't afford to live nearby (in general). What changed in the last few years though?
