This is silly - it's more about the mismatch between the custom of buying a person's time and paying for the outcomes an employer is looking for. The flip side of this is that empl…

There used to be a great pic online showing all of the different timelines as swimlanes to show how they were all connected. Here: https://d13ezvd6yrslxm.cloudfront.net/wp/wp-conte…

Judging by the replies a lot of people agree with those concerned citizens. I hope that the majority are terrified by this. It is one thing to recommend masks for legit health conc…

If they cant support themselves, they should find something people do want to pay for. The universe doesnt owe the website creators a revenue stream.

I think there is also an element of short term vs long term reward. Things that are more likely to be worth paying for often are harder and longer term in some way (like university…

I think part of the tension is that advertising (and other data harvesting) attempts to monetize content that has virtually zero value for a lot of people: take any of the articles…

The timing of this is funny because I literally only switched to a mac from linux a month ago. I may be an outlier but I prefer the "polish" and user experience of ubuntu to apple …

It looks good to me! One suggestion I did not see was to be able to add hair color and complexion. Some of the suggestions I had I would not have gone with because of mismatch with…

This whole discussion is a good reminder why any analysis is always subjective. If there is an actual fault in the underlying numbers, fine, but what I see reading the thread is pe…

And lots of media fed panics also only become clear in retrospect, e.g. Y2K.

Just because you believe that there is some benevolent authority that we can just "give up liberty" to an everything will be ok doesn't make it the only opinion, even if it's easie…

Normally I'd ignore that, but yes, that's the classic argument to try and short circuit real debate by making us think that one death anywhere is worse than small actions we can ta…

I think the biggest flu shot proponents have been given a much greater voice with covid and would not want to back down from it now.

Exactly. In all of the mask discussions, there should be more focus on the kind of life we want and less on the science of masks. I think it's pretty obvious that masks have immedi…

Its interesting to me that for most of modern history, the value of performing arts like music was in the performance. Then recorded media were invented and there was a fleeting mo…

Yes I agree with you, I have had some songs I like disappear too. But with a subscription model, I can stop paying them when the value isnt there anymore. A good example is that I …

That seems orthogonal to my point that what spotify achieved, for me at least, was being a better value for money than copyright infringement. It's worth $10 a month to have all th…
