this part is key: "Research shows that humans tend to do whatever it takes to keep busy, even if the activity feels meaningless to them. Dr Brené Brown from the University of Houston describes being “crazy busy” as a numbing strategy w

I think you'll find that many of the difficult problems in this space worth solving require a great deal of domain specific knowledge, expertise and specialized apps for dealing with it. For example: I'd like to find Chinese liste

The article seems misleading: they keep insisting that the only innovation we have is software because that's how we want it. As if, investors and entrepreneurs only have interest in producing software. As if, we don't see the e

I can identify with this essay. And, I've always wondered why people don't want to build, why people are so hell bent on preventing others from building. I mean, what on earth is the problem with letting others build? build more

I'm talking about the regulation that prevents stuff from being built. obviously all the normal laws like no murder would still be in place.

This is exactly why we need innovation in politics. Imagine for a second, that you declare a region, say 1 square mile, somewhere as almost completely free of all regulations. Then, let all the companies that want to build there, go nuts

He's right about a lot of things. But, as far as education goes, if everyone got a degree, then what's the point? it would have no value at all. The whole point of awarding degrees is to separate those who have them from those t

There was an article written up about ebay and how they paid 20 million$ per year for that first google slot for certain keywords. Then some consultant came to Ebay and proved, without a doubt that the ads don't work. So, they created

I always thought that if the government wants to get you, then they'll definitely get you. The powers of government are already so vast, Not having your browsing history won't stop them one bit.

i really don't see any harm in tracking. What are people afraid of? the article was not in any way able to show how it harms people. When you go to the starbucks, and the waiter recognizes you and remembers your name, is that creepy?

But, those animals are trained to stay away from humans. You won't see them out in the wilderness, at least not for long. And, you won't be able to catch up to one in the brushes where there's thorns, bushes, and all kinds

I've been on long hikes through the woods where few people tread. One thing I've noticed, is the apparent scarcity of food: at least food that we recognize as "food". There's no animals to hunt for, no bird's

10K sq ft lots isn't too much to ask for is it? especially when there's open land in every direction you can see as far as the horizon. It doesn't even look like all that open land is used for anything at all. i'll nev

You can drive out as far as fairfield, about 70 miles outside of the bay area and still see housing communities packed together like slums with nothing but yellow and green for miles in every direction.

It's sad, but here in CA, most people don't have yards and there's nowhere to grow food. It's especially dumb because there's miles and miles of undeveloped land everywhere (at least in the east bay suberbs), not b

I've listened to a number of Reply All Podcast stories and I must say, most of it, is really good stuff: I highly recommend it. Many of them seem to be like investigative journalism, but they do it on internet/social media relate

I wonder how much of this has to do with the lack of development in the bay area. With a huge amount of undeveloped area all over the bay area, there's probably a lot of places for coyotes to live, since so much living space has been

i know i'll get downvoted for this. but he's absolutely right. Price caps on these high value items will only dissuade more suppliers from entering the market and supplying these extremely valuable items. This is exactly the ty
