Can't help but think this is a consequence of social media. People have dramatically unrealistic expectations on what life should be like.

1. Rent an airbnb for a period of time. 2. Tenant reaches out to host and asks to stay longer (or vice versa) 3. They agree to a deal outside airbnb that works better for both of them.

- no rules have to be followed

Yes, absolutely

Anyone who has moved or bought a house outside of commuting distance in the past 2 years is never going back. I know I'm not.

The obvious follow up I was expecting that wasn’t in the article was “do people who exercise have less stress response to stimuli?”.

They talk about a “caloric balance sheet” so this makes sense to me.

This reminds me of that one south park episode:

Because you're on a site where a significant portion of the population probably have poor social skills / are unlikable but have high degrees of technical skill.

If you had this conversation in the real world instead of the internet, everyone would just say "yeah, duh".

I strongly, strongly disagree. The "free and open internet" is a farce and only existed decades ago because nobody had any idea what they were doing yet.

We cannot allow people easy access to radicalization.

I feel like 6 hours is really not enough to be healthy. 6 hours for me and I feel pretty rough. Multiple days in a row and I'm a zombie.

Also interesting to note that Tarkovsky hated 2001: A Space Odyssey.

Because America is a Democracy. Non violent protests changed people's minds and those people ultimately decide the laws. Won't work in China. China is totalitarian. The government gets what it wants regardless of public opinion. And it will squash any opinion it doesn't like before it spreads.

I used to think this was true, until I got older and realized just how bad I am at writing, and how not everything is just math and science.

If you or anyone else is interested in this topic I strongly suggest the book Tribe: On Homecoming and Belonging by Sebastian Junger.

That book really made me think pretty hard about this stuff. It's also a short 180 pages.

> He said that projection is based in part on improvements to Lime scooters' longevity, which in 2019 went from from six months to about 14 months.

That still seems like an incredibly short amount of time.

So who are the shovel manufacturers in this case?

What about the Post is related to this, specifically?

I don't doubt this, but do you have a source?

How dare you question dietary proselytizing which is clearly masquerading as scientific fact.

Isn't that just indicative of the sad state of things.

> Would I be a bad person for saying I'm sad about this because I want to work at Google and I don't like seeing their future threatened?

That doesn't make you a bad person, but it IS a bad reason.

Even if there are lights it still makes it harder to see, which is more dangerous.

Modern life is so Kafkaesque.

Not necessarily.

If you're referring to the United Nations World Happiness Report, know that the metrics they use to measure those scores are literally just a measure of how socialistic a country is.

Yeah I get that. What about for people like me who are trying to enter the market? I'm wondering if it's worth it to wait and see, or if I should just not worry too much and invest now anyway.

"When it gets down to it — talking trade balances here — once we've brain-drained all our technology into other countries, once things have evened out, they're making cars in Bolivia and microwave ovens in Tadzhikistan and selling them here — once our edge in natural resources has been made irrelevant by giant Hong Kong ships and dirigibles that can ship North Dakota all the way to New Zealand for a nickel — once the Invisible Hand has taken away all those historical inequities and smeared them out into a broad global layer of what a Pakistani brickmaker would consider to be prosperity — y'know what? There's only four things we do better than anyone else: music, movies, microcode (software), high-speed pizza delivery"

I find it pretty concerning whenever I see someone's github page with tons of green squares on the bottom and top row. Why do people work so much on the weekends?

Completely disagree. I don't think humans are meant to live in cities. Something about being around that many people and ongoings makes me and from what I can tell a lot of other people, on edge so to speak.

I grew up in a suburb and it was not at all isolating. We had close communities and nearby family. I was friends with kids on my block and had freedom to explore and be independent. I would say technology is what is driving people to isolation.

I have a mid 2013 Air as well (and I recently replaced the battery for $100, it’s great and you should too), but I’d attribute the long life to simply the SSD and the software rather than anything else.

Most software devs aren't even close to doctors in terms of salary.
