This is great, and I wish it existed for Reddit too (or maybe it does already?). There’s so much good content that’s a bit hard to find now, plus it would be very interesting to see what people were talking about at a specific point in time.
That last one is impressive, most humans probably wouldn’t pull it off. And just imagine when all the cars on the road are self-driving, probably none of these accidents would’ve happened.
Does the board not have final control? Why have they agreed (in principle) to step down? I wish more of the reporting around this was specific about who has the power to do what.
Honest question, is there any evidence that Republican politicians are more effective at fighting crime? Or are you just saying that’s the public’s perception?
Yes, Uber drivers are constantly canceling rides or just sitting in one spot until I’m forced to cancel myself and then dispute the charge. Thankfully Lyft still exists, I’ve switched to them and haven’t looked back. I can get to where I need to go much faster and more reliably, at roughly the same price or often less.
I don’t have access to the full paper, but I would expect that they at least tried to control for sun exposure.
In general, if you can think of an obvious confounding factor in about five seconds, then it’s a safe assumption that professional researchers thought of it too.
I immediately thought this looked too absurd to be real, but I wonder if my lack of octopus knowledge helped me out here. I know octopi are pretty smart, but I don’t think of them as being too surprising in their capabilities.
Let’s say you used your credit card to spend $1000 this month. The money is spent. At the end of the month it’s time to pay back the credit card company for the $1000 you spent, but you say: sorry, my debt limit is only $600, so you default on your debt and now your credit is ruined.
That’s what the debt limit is like. Financial responsibility would be not spending the $1000 in the first place. It’s wildly irresponsible to spend the money and then decide not to pay the debt, but Republicans consistently threaten to do this because so many of their voters don’t understand what a debt limit is, mistakenly thinking it is a spending limit.
People absolutely might order fewer burgers or order fewer home deliveries if the price of those things were to rise. In some cases employers also have the option of automating tasks that are currently done by people.
I have the same problem. For me what helps is having a schedule, you do your thing at a certain time automatically every day, which seems to lower the activation energy. For one-off tasks it helps to set myself a reminder that I intend to do whatever it is at a certain time.
But I still struggle with this for sure. I could always use more advice myself.
I know we are all speaking from our own experience here, but I’ve never even heard of a woman being disgusted by or leaving a man because he cried. I’ve cried in front of every long term girlfriend I’ve ever had and it’s never been a negative, only positive.
Could it be a cultural thing? I’m American and I’ve always lived in major coastal cities.
Have you considered working for a company with goals that you find more meaningful? For me working in biotech has provided that, but you need to find what's right for you. Don't spend your life working on "clones of other similar products with a slightly better price point". Your words!
Therapy probably couldn't hurt either, but you should make your career move soon if you can. Burnout takes a long time to recover from. Personally I burned out from working long hours and it took years to recover from, even though I was enjoying my work and found it meaningful. Don't overwork yourself.
