Maybe if you can create professional-level works in that language? Ie poems, lyrics, prose, etc.

Being known as "the speaker guy" isn't a compliment. Also, do a kickflip.

Highly recommend the book "This is your brain on music", as it explores this question (among other interesting things). According to the author, having separate words for singing and dancing is a relatively new phenomenon in lingu

And Elon's lithium mines aren't similar? Or Kanye's open support of rhetoric linked to the Holocaust?

Can you elaborate?

I think it's moreso the assumption/collective perception that foreign totalitarian governments are more nefarious in their actions towards their own people. Whether or not that's true is a different argument.

This resonates with me. I found a group of folks I loosely knew in my neighborhood, and started doing an informal "Tuesday Night Dinner". There's about a dozen of us, and on any given week about 6-7 will get together, usually

Also, this reads more like an argument for the usefulness of GPT-4 over the Metaverse

This reads like "the problem disappears as soon as I'm no longer impacted". Just because cops see/treat you differently now doesn't mean they aren't still treating others poorly.

Re-stating your premise doesn't prove your point. It's also entirely possible that Adidas decided that the overhead of dealing with public backlash + the fact that Kanye himself is unstable meant that the brand was no longer a lon

Similar story here, my grandfather played Chamber music with his friends (he played cello) twice a week well into his 90s. He barely lasted weeks after he became too frail to play music.

I feel this, and it's challenging because visibility is important for advancement. My manager advised me to think of the broadcast emails/posts as ways to boost the people I collaborated with, and that's helped a lot. It does

Lets not pretend that the profits of Saudi oil et al are going to the people of that country though. If the wealth is consolidated so much, denial of service hurts the ruling class far more than the normal people

Um.. yes? Construction work may be back-breaking and hard but it often pays well, or at least can serve as a path towards a trade or higher earning.

I think I agree with you, but this argument seems like a pretty arbitrary line. How is saying "yes we can scale" when you're not sure if you can, aren't you essentially implying that you have the infrastructure to delive

Not OP, but his post reminded me of a Paul Graham article [0] about keeping your identity small. [0] http://paulgraham.com/identity.html

Applying for a warrant through a legal process is absolutely not the same as requesting data from a tech company (especially because Amazon has incentive to cooperate with police in order to continue to sell these cameras)

I think you're making the mistake of assuming people always act rationally. There are countless anecdotes of well paid, ostensibly happily employed people losing their job over juiced expense reports or similar small (in dollar terms)

A little pricey, but they're merino so can be worn a few times without needing to be washed, and they're amazingly breathable and quick drying. woolly.clothing

AFAIK, Merino is mostly farmed in alpine regions, a lot of it in New Zealand. There's a really interesting BlisterReview podcast[0] on technical fabrics and wool, featuring an interview with one of the buyer/sourcers for a big woo

I've pretty much exclusively switched to Merino t-shirts. Various good brans out there (Woolly Co, Smartwool, Icebreaker, etc) and most can be found in simple, versatile colors. Can wear them with almost anything, super comfortable, an

Yeah, exactly. Though even as someone who spends 40+ days/year in the backcountry skiing around the PNW, the 645m is plenty for me. That, combined with an inReach Mini incase shit hits the fan and I feel pretty well covered. As a side

+1 on Garmin watches. The "smartwatch" functionality leaves something to be desired, but the watch itself is great, with helpful training features, a great screen, and good battery life. I have the fr645 Music, and can bluetooth t

If you take someone accelerating quickly from a light as a signal that you're driving too slowly, you probably drive too slowly. I don't think its a signal at all - and who really cares if it is?

Agreed - though recently I've had several packages from Amazon delivered FedEx with Sig Req'd. Can't seem to find a way to refuse this kind of shipping - FedEx regularly misses deliveries (just two weeks ago I had a signature

It's become a meme, likely due to the clusters of mattress stores that seem to pop up despite zero customers.

....and without some of that marketing spend, revenue would decrease (or be co-opted by competition) and then we're back at the same problem. Companies probably over-index on advertising spend, but it's not as simple as "look
