There's a good journal article that compares different perspectives and measurements for zones, that might help (if you're interested in the science!): https://journals.humankineti…

I'm reading a biography of the philosopher Seneca. His life is an interesting example of your final point. He was truly one of the ultra-rich in Roman society -- as one of Nero's t…

Hmm, I don't understand what would make that fraudulent, could you explain? Many users, and presumably many shareholders, click on ads that aren't relevant to them, or search for t…

Hmm, where do you need two clicks to change the volume by scrolling? I can just click on the volume icon (or any of the three icons there, since they're all a big button), mouse ov…

Agreed with most of your points, just curious about: > Same way you won't get good mileage on any car if you do that What do you mean by that? Aren't ICE cars often more efficient …

Subaru already has a Crosstrek plug-in hybrid, but it's not available very widely. I would have been interested if I'd known they existed before buying my current car, but they're …

I actually moved near my new job anyway. It's remote for now, but will return to (mostly) in-person eventually. Looking back, I should have stayed in my college town for lower cost…

I feel this burnout. Finishing up college remotely and starting full-time work without meeting anyone in person has been an odd experience--not to mention political news, social in…

On your note [1] - could you explain more about using a 3rd party? I currently use auto-withdrawals, but it sounds like I should switch before I get in a bad situation like you men…

Thanks for the recommendation! That podcast episode sounds interesting - I'm always looking for new German shows to add to my podcast queue :)

At the same time, there are other people who like the newer UI style much more. I think it looks and functions better. These are matters of personal opinion, including the end judg…

While I was lucky enough to not need Examity during my undergrad at one of the universities in this article, I heard many complaints from my peers about it, and everyone echoes the…

Thanks so much! I'm entering a PM role soon and this'll be a great reading list to get me up to speed.

I also highly recommend Dr. Greger's work! He also has a podcast and very informative website with tons of sources and further information.

Tele-medicine could be a part of this - I have seen a rise in online services where patients can receive a diagnosis and some prescriptions by text/video chat with a doctor or nurs…

Good point - I would guess that Boeing's process is a much longer and more extensive waterfall (i.e. one major iteration on a large scale), whereas smaller companies like SpaceX go…

Agreed - I used VISSIM for some work in a university transportation research lab, and it was very interesting after learning how to use it - but both expensive and very intricate t…

Does the "pretty weak legal protection of user data" matter in this case though? There are no accounts or cookies (by default at least), and DDG's privacy policy states they don't …

From my view, I think it must depend on your use case and common searches. I've been using DDG for years now without any major qualms on search results. For my purposes it finds wh…
