Yeah, you can play whatever game you want in life. However, playing the money game is dangerous, and can easily create attachment and greed. I'm not necessarily preaching about his choice of game -- more about his lack…
I see what you mean as well. But, I don't think this kind of thing should impact your well being. The guy said in other posts that he can't get into those better companies and is considering suicide. It sounds so odd to…
Sorry, but is this a serious post? Honest question. > My total comp for the first year is only $145k out of undergrad with a base of $106k. My friends at places like Google, FB and Cruise are making more like…
> Otherwise though, I found that his personas largely reflected his current emotional state. One persona would almost always be "out" when he was upset with a friend, or struggling with some stress. Another was more…
> There are other things like adrenal hyperplasia which are really common and results in developing secondary sexual characteristics of both genders. "Really common" is people bullshitting. Most of this stuff is in…
> Simply not having XX nor XY chromosomes happens about in one in every 1666 people. Surely you have met at least two thousand people in your life. That's a disease, not a gender. What makes people with such a disease…
I understand now, though I would argue that nothing you call "objective" is actually so. These goals you listed are just the formulation of a game, which a lot of Westerners choose to play (though not all global…
Because we're humans, not asset-collection algorithms. I'm sorry that this is an honest question.
Do you view everything in life in terms of investing and value extraction? If so, that is deeply, incredibly sad. > you have several multi-decade goals to work towards Why do you think the goals you listed are…
Sounds like something I'd be good at. All I have to do is stroll through the woods and I have 20 ticks on my person.
I enjoyed your comment despite it being light gray. I never considered Google to be particularly rich in "opinions". Some buy into the culture more than others, but the workers are mostly left-wing. I also think a…
> I'm not into new age / whatever stuff but I like to think of it as night time meditation as while it's still not as good as sleep it's still a great deal better than full blown insomnia! There's a reason advanced…
> they belong in the same category as French or Japanese Huh? French food I can understand, though I don't have much of a taste for it, but Japanese food is terrible -- I was there for two weeks. A lot of foreigners are…
Air Asia is the worst airline I've ever flown with. Unfortunately, it's hard to avoid them when flying in Asia.
Japanese people seem to be in a pretty good place emotionally. They are pretty closed-off, as I expected, but they're more laid back than people in many Western countries and definitely much less stressed than…
I wrote a blog post on tool mastery a few days ago, mostly in response to an egregious article named "You are not your tools"[0], but also to write down some of my recent thoughts on this topic[1]. I agree with the OP…
I liked the irony in this post, considering that the main draw of Electron apps is that they are supposed to be cross-platform. (To be fair though, FreeBSD is pretty niche.)
> There have been far too many false stories about Russian hacking published for them to carry weight. They never carried weight for me. The "evil Russians" angle has always been about disinforming and misdirecting the…
> I'm actually up in arms now against people who insist that mediation/yoga/SSRIs/most therapists can make a damn bit of difference in the case of actual depression. I wasted 20 years of my life listening to them, when…

Exactly what I was thinking. It may be a bug, but the AI treats it as another legitimate game rule. I wonder if there are any techniques for it to be able to tell the difference... for example, if it can quantitatively…
The presidential election showed conclusively who the real propagandists in America are, and it’s not Russia. I’ll admit that I didn’t read the article, and this comment may not even be relevant, but I can’t take the…
If you're in the US or Europe, you don't have access to fresh coconuts. The oil you buy comes from far away (do you even know from where?), was processed under God knows what conditions, likely melted and resolidified…
The statements "sugar is bad", "fat is bad", "fat is good" are all equally simplistic and misleading. Fruits are high in naturally-occurring sugars and they are among the healthiest things you can eat. Turns out that…
I was thinking about this today as I went through my browsing history from half a year ago. I'm not too worried. If anyone had access to that data they still wouldn't know what I was up to, what adventures I had, or…
