Blech. Nothing here that's obscure or likely to alter the path of some one's knowledge. No philosophy, no history, and the list includes Gladwell. Actually, the inclusion of Gladwell probably distinctly colors my thinking on th

I recently bought some dry cat food from Amazon. One of my cats immediately got a massive skin infection that cost >$400 to cure. I can't prove it was from that but this is an indoor cat who has no real exposure to anything else t

Unrelated, but you're the first person I've ever heard who had optical migraines, which I have too. I experience them as shooting lights followed by essentially a shut down in vision in the affected eye. Never thought about Lasik

The manager's schedule is built around Taylorism and the idea that if she (the manager) just figures out the exact mechanistic steps for squeezing all the productivity out of the worker, everything will operate smoothly. Unfortunately,

Canola is super cheap which is one way they can keep prices low. Most seed oils in the Western diet come from fast food and the fryer which increases the chance of lipid oxidation. We need both omega 3 and omega 6 but the Western diet is so

I guess we'll never learn from things like margarine and other lab invented foods. Beyond Meat is heavily dependent on seed oils which are terrible for us (expeller pressed canola oil is ingredient #2). Red Meat actually isn't u

+1 for this book as a starting point for removing yourself from the tyranny of your emotions.

What they learned is that solving problems with debt is bad. So they try to not have debt by saving a lot. The fact they do it with the same fiat currency system is another matter. But that history lesson is one the OP seems to be ignorant

I'm 46 with a 3 year old I spend a lot of time with (21-24 hours a week). I love that time but it's a little depressing to only have 5 years of free time left. Pretty eye opening to see it as a total number.

I'm using ProtonMail because I'm trying to de-Google-Amazon-Facebook my life somewhat as another user mentions. I'm tired of being the product and am willing to pay for certain things.

This idea ignores the levels at which we are manipulated on today's social media platforms. The manipulation is so inherent in the platform that we don't even realize it's happening. This is a different thing from say, a st

Louis Brandeis had similar beliefs. Leisure was important for workers and his battles against the monopolies of the day were often focused on this belief. Though his focus was on self-growth and learning in the leisure time provided.

I think this is important. The OP seems to think that management is totally open to just being fair and inclusive with individual employees but that the situation becomes too polarized when a union is implemented. This ignores the fact th

Everyone has done "successful" rewrites. But a rewrite that takes 2 years and requires a team much larger than the original team isn't successful in the eyes of most stakeholders and is almost NEVER what the dev team propose

Big Oil was broken up by anti trust legislation. It's possible this comes back around. Currently reading a biography on Brandeis who was one of the titans of anti-trust in the 30s and 40s. I'm hoping that kind of regulation com

I'm reminded of Matthew Crawford's Shop Class as Soulcraft. We have lost the ability, and sometimes the right when it comes to John Deere or Mercedes, to tinker on our own things. This is exciting news and maybe the next generat

Some day, I'm confident our current practices related to food and nutrition will be looked back upon with horror and dismay. The lack of decent regulation, the lack of understanding of basic nutrition, the desire to somehow improve up
