It’s also a topic of scientific study with a century or more of literature. It’s a little more complicated than what you wrote, but basically: yes. [edit] Example study construction: pick some issue where there’s been a…
Things Red Team worries about: 1. If a democrat is elected, they will take all their guns (their campaign rhetoric keeps saying this will happen, but it continues being no part of democratic presidential campaign…
Formally telling us the nickname he prefers. The current name was set by Congress and they’d have to change it, so he’s not changing it, he’s putting his personal nickname for it in an EO. Presumably he’ll also add the…
> For my personal experience, college was a time management joke after high school, mainly because I didn’t have to spend so much bullshit/wasted time in classes. Same here. Junior high and high school especially were…
This is the first I’m hearing of either of these products, or this company. If you’d asked me what a program named Dia was ten minutes ago, I’d have confidently replied that it’s an open source gui diagramming tool.
If I read their post correctly, they’re saying they wouldn’t mind rich people if money didn’t… do the stuff that money does. But it does, so they do. Like yes I think if money didn’t confer incredible power over others…
I'm on it for the software + hardware combo. Take either away and I'd just get whatever cheap crap instead, and probably use my computers, phones, and tablets a lot less (wouldn't bother with a tablet at all, most…
Someone elsewhere on this page posted some details of the author's bio. They worked on Chrome/Blink for years. So of course they're upset Apple kept them from being the only browser anybody targets, and any crap they…
The current situation is largely their fault. It was Chicago school jackasses who neutered antitrust enforcement in the '70s, which is why everything's now dominated by a very small number of mega-conglomerates.
The browser bit was also much, much snappier than anything else in common use, except maybe Opera. Including the Mozilla browser. Performance took a giant hit some time in the 1.x series and never recovered, but before…
I don’t suppose anything a bit less-serious is available to normies? I have a iphone that died on vacation and was set to backup only on WiFi (I’ve since changed that setting, haha, whoops) and has a couple days of…
It’s a technology that tends to generate output misrepresenting its own capabilities in dangerous ways. Among other things it may misrepresent. It’s weird these companies are allowed to operate, at least in the way that…
It’s probably related to the fact that when they added “await” to JavaScript, it seemed to become the most popular keyword in the language overnight, just comical amounts of it in the average new JavaScript file in the…
I think the core error is marrying a communication tool for the people doing the work, to a reporting tool for people who aren’t doing the work. Managers are all about that kind of automatic hyper-legibility (I’m…
If I hadn’t pursued things that initially didn’t click for me, I’d be missing out on what are now my favorite… everything, really, and still stuck with some things that are by-comparison so bad that I can’t believe I…
Limit options. If the only, say, film options are five movies they’re resistant to watching, it’ll take very little time for them to break down and try one. You do also have to restrict plausible substitutes, like if…
It’s fine to like trash. It’s best to be able to tell it’s trash, because if you can’t then it means you’re missing what you need to fully appreciate really good things, which is less than ideal. But it’s totally fine…
