feteru··on Consciousness and Anaesthesia (2009)
The TV show Severance feels as though it's along those lines of thinking. Separate your work self from your personal self....completely
feteru··on Baltimore sues Hyundai, Kia over spike in car thefts
When it doesn't happen with any other makes, yes! Cost cutting out industry standard anti-theft tech should be the car companies responsibility. Also....17 other local prosecutors, not just Baltimore.
feteru··on Companies save billions of dollars by giving employees fake “manager” titles
Oh boy, how did that play out? I feel as though it's a give a mouse a cookie situation with people power tripping like that, I can't imagine it resolving well until they leave...
feteru··on How friendships change in adulthood
Except almost anything you do can be the beginning of that engine. Joining sports team, hobbyist group for anything will lead you to meet people, through whom you either meet or hear about other events. Strong network effects once you get going but you do need to have time to show up consistently and in a good spot
feteru··on Notice of termination of Twitter merger agreement
Great comment, feel like this puts into words what I see in interactions on here sometimes that puts me off. I might say that especially on Hacker News there are people who assume they're by default more knowledgeable than others.
feteru··on Eliminating Toil
That's interesting, I'd say that's one of the least likely fundamental differences, especially with these large 10k+ employee companies. Those differences in hiring should average out when compared to things like timing entering their markets, monopolistic advantages, regulatory capture that are external to the company.
feteru··on Revolutionaries at the Workplace
Anybody can do it once, not everybody can do it once. It's just luck of the draw, most won't be able to, but they could.
feteru··on The Frame.work Marketplace Opened
I replaced my mbp battery recently, it wasn't too bad. Apple also quoted me needing to replace logic board, etc. due to some water damage indicators tripped. Just go slow and it's only ~<$200 for battery.

Not to hold you back from getting a new framework, I replaced my battery but am still looking at one of these too!

feteru··on What it's like to spend 40-50 hours in VR every week
Reference to the book Snowcrash! It’s a fun book
feteru··on Apple Watch production delayed as engineers wrestle with quality issues
Your point send valid, but architect/builder is usually the bouncing back and forth type relationship though, plans are usually half baked and the surveys aren't right so stuff has to change. And builders are the ones on site every day overseeing, usually the architects just check in.
feteru··on Bigger vehicles are directly resulting in more deaths of people walking
So basically impossible = on private driveways or when they're doing improvements? This seems like a mindset I see a lot of thinking you need more car than you really do
feteru··on Law school applicants surge 13%, biggest increase since dot-com bubble
Dan Luu wrote a blog investigating this exact comparison and also didn't have good enough data to draw a strong conclusion.

feteru··on The unreasonable effectiveness of just showing up everyday
It also depends on prioritizing high quality work. Plenty of places would be happy to have you at below optimal efficiency for twice the time to make up for communication inefficiency.
feteru··on Show HN: Obsidian for Mobile – Plain-text knowledge base on the go
Others have talked about using multiple apps with their markdown files, I think it shouldn't be an issue to have it seamlessly sync.
feteru··on This Website is hosted on an Casio fx-9750GII Calculator
Which you could work around by archiving and then unarchiving the programs. I remember having to do a soft factory reset for one class before exams, rather than just clearing programs. At least they took the policy to its logical extension
feteru··on Cloudera taken private for $5.3B, acquires Datacoral and Cazena
Could you expand on this a little? What did HP do, I'm just not familiar
feteru··on Amazon is reportedly negotiating to acquire MGM for about $9B
Alternative narrative: Online services are a winner take all market, so early players who survived the dot com crash due to great product leveraged that to gain monopoly share. Without government intervention they will dominate these markets to the detriment of the consumer (and the abuse of their data/privacy)
feteru··on Weary of Work
https://www.thriftbooks.com/w/flow-the-psychology-of-optimal...
feteru··on Stock Market Returns Are Anything but Average
Except that the grandparent comment was showing how missing the best 2 weeks of days over 45 years really does wipe out a significant amount of gain.
feteru··on Google is saving $1B per year as a result of employees working from home
Still a lot of money on salt packets, I love these rough approximations compared to our expectations
feteru··on Do you really want Linux phones
What app is that? It sounds very useful.

Definitely a refreshing feeling compared to the use of a million cloud services.

feteru··on RethinkDB: why we failed (2017)
Mainframes -> home pcs -> laptop -> smartphone, all advances miniaturizing and distributing computing closer to the edge
feteru··on I built a 5K iMac Display
Any recommendations for the Vesa arm specifically? Looking to get one
feteru··on Excess protein enabled dog domestication during severe Ice Age winters
I think these habits are developed over more than a few days too. I bet the pickier you are, the longer it takes for your biology to tell you that it's time to eat. Also this is all dancing around wanting to call picky eaters spoiled brats lol.
feteru··on Why can’t you buy a good webcam?
Heyo another Auria user here! I actually recently upgraded to a Dell 4k screen, but that Auria served me great for several years and is my secondary setup screen. Got it used for $150, amazing value there!

feteru··on Amazon EC2 Mac Instances
Maybe using something like Expo: https://expo.io/
feteru··on Charles Koch Says His Partisanship Was a Mistake
What were the political tactics used? I'm not familiar with the race and didn't see anything on my first search. That's some political-drama-level honesty from the candidate.
feteru··on Reddit's Stock Threads Become a Must-Read on Wall Street
Also Jack Dorsey.
