huh, there's a fallacy for everything these days. well yes, some mushrooms are as close to nature as possible but would kill us. but believing in nature more than pepsico is usually a decent choi…

eh, because... empathy? I like to see people make decent choices.

not really. it's just one way to look at it and the way I would expect a "designer CEO" does. there are plenty of apps/sites built inside of billion-dollar companies by teams that …

> Only ship something you are proud of. meh. lots of companies are wildly successful with crappy products built by 9-5 teams. or startups with founders that are embarrassed by v0.1 or even v1.0.

well according to the Director of the Dept of Homeland Security (DHS) human trafficking division, the estimated annual global profits are $150B [1]. The total revenue of the MLB is just north of $10B …

just don't drink TOO much [1] [1] https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1770067/ …

I had a computer science professor who drank so much diet coke that she had a wall of empty cans stacked up from floor to ceiling in her office. Even then, 20 years ago now, I was so grossed out with …

agreed, it's really hard with lobbyists, captured agencies, flawed studies, social media noise, political narratives, etc etc etc. We try our best to just go back to first principles: as close to…

my exact first thought. black mirror to the soundtrack of a photo app.

good point. I'm in the suburbs so no [explicitly] directional lanes but agreed runners should almost always yield nevertheless.

ya you're right it's not the 2-ton hunk of metal hurling through space with teenager addicted to tik tok behind the wheel where a wrist movement of an inch is life vs death.

+1. my favorite loops both have some streets though including ones without sidewalks. I run against traffic and it's basically a game of "does that driver see me" for decent stretches.

same re: runner+kids. It's insane. I watch people blatantly blow through red lights on a daily basis. Someone once grabbed my mother-in-law and pulled her back because she walked when the signal …

every time I'm in the car I'm astonished by the number of people looking down at phones while driving. Is my experience unique? Is anyone else surprised about metrics like these?

Agreed -- before making any major purchase I start at Reddit. The Internet as you say is a dumpster fire of blogspam top-10 lists where the top of the page is just STR."Updated in \{current_year}…

that and stack ranking. "dominant male" is hardwired.

I can't speak for "people", but I can speak for myself as the grandparent comment, and I take no issue with disagreement. It's how the disagreement is expressed. Using words like &…

Well it's not my hypothesis, it's a hypothesis of which the Director of National Intelligence in the United States during the pandemic, the executive head of our intelligence community, …

As always the story has many angles but overall the trend is not good. There are parts of the city that used to be "just kind of sketchy" which now are basically un-walkable for the average …

There are folks who were speaking out early despite harsh criticism. RFK JR (who happens to be running for president on the democratic ticket in the US) has another book coming out soon that will like…

and that right there is how you promulgate a social suppression campaign.

Coffee enemas are apparently an influencer thing right now.

that does work but what other downstream impact will this have? Not familiar with ProMotion.

mine too. at least the box (with pi inside) makes a good stand for a mesh node.

> "not taking these things seriously" is very different from regulating something in it's infancy because of fear of the unknown. I don't pretend to have the answer of what the …

The space animation lag is mind boggling. Not only is it a half second, but it locks keypress until finished. Any Apple devs (or anyone) here who can comment about why they removed the expose-animatio…

> Electricity, the Industrial Revolution, the internet, gene editing/bionengineering also came with unknown existential risks. In a way, all of those things have led to where we are now. And m…

i'm sure it's a lot of factors but to your point one could look at this problem from a dozen angles and there's almost no way to conclude that social media and 24/7 race-to-bottom …
