This is one of those videos where you know what it's going to say in the first few seconds or maybe just the title, so you don't really need to watch it. Honestly just the fact that it's in English and the comments are positi

I've come to think about internet usage as "high-stimulus" or "low-stimulus". Low stim internet usage would be things like looking up the actor from that one movie, and then getting the name. When you get the name,

Unlimited PTO means there's nothing to cash out at the end of the year if you took 0 days of PTO. It also reminds me of the old negotiating tactic - never be the first one to offer up a number.

I don't think he's talking about a specific subreddit, but rather reddit as a whole. I tend to agree, but I don't see how that hurts advertisers. IIRC you used to very rarely see actual celebrities in the ama subreddit becaus

That seems extremely common. For a stretch there every tech S1 I saw said "we don't make money, we've never made money, we have no idea how we're going to make money in the future".

It's kind of crazy to see a tech IPO that doesn't come with the boilerplate "we make zero profit, we've never made profit, and we have no idea how to change that in the future" caveat.

I'm in the middle of a programming boot camp where they just blaze from topic to topic to topic, we never do any considerable project work to nail any of it down, and even though they state clearly "you need to be studying outside

So you don't think the problem is social or psychological or related to sitting alone in one room all day, just like... zoom could have a better interface? Maybe that question is enough, but I don't have anything else to say that&

This creates an incentive for international corporations to keep a few banana republics around - nations constantly kept in shambles to ensure a fat profit margin by minimizing manufacturing costs. It also eats away at the earning potential

I can't go a day without seeing some article, some post, some tweet, some blob of text from the internet telling me to stop being positive. Stop trying, it's all hopeless. There's some race or class based caste system immutab

That's actually pretty similar. I know there's three "life backgrounds" that you can pick from and they were meant to influence the game much further than they currently do (extra dialog options that are largely meaningl

Once you no longer run into performance issues, you start to run into other things. Long story short - this game is a crystal clear example of what feature creep does to a project. It's also a good counterexample against the assumed in

They're optimizing for their needs, not yours. Why would they optimize for your needs? You're already a loyal consumer, to the extent that you're vaguely upset about a missed opportunity to go on a spending spree. It really

To me this take rolls into the general "silence is violence" or "either you're with us or against us" refrain that has become background noise to me. It reads the same as someone telling me I'm enabling fascism

Sometimes I lay down and play games all day. I always feel like a lazy braindead slug afterwards. I imagine this desk setup slows you down a bit, at least.

The self-reported positive effects hallucinogens are awful. They alter your perception so your perception of perceived benefits is unreliable, and anyone who's not tripping can tell you that. I mean, with full doses the reported benefi

I don't know much about biology outside of a couple seasons of hobby gardening, but some plants can pollinate themselves. After a quick search it looks like grapes may do just that.
