I appreciate the Google sign in as time goes on. I know the risks and downsides, but it's nice to just quickly sign in and GTD. Last nice I set up a cheap wyze door bell cam and shared it with my mom (signed her up to wyze using sign in with google) It took longer to unpack and mount the camera with the VHB tape than it did to create and log into her account to accept the sharing request.
I don’t know where you live, but what about all the mail spam — physical mail like catalogs and email advertising/marketing? And that half of what’s published by most journalistic outlets is now veiled ads?

Dear Products,

Gambling is closer to smoking than regular gaming.

All the boy’s friends play the game and similar games. It’s an uphill battle and an extraordinary pressure on the parents to control each game that gets played and micromanage to that extend - to the detriment of their relationship with the child, because fighting these intentionally instilled addictive patterns will create upset in the child and tension in the relationship. The game devs pay psychologists to create the addiction at scale which the parents just cannot compete with.

In reality parents have finite amounts of energy and a finite numbers of battles to fight. Eat your food, go to school, do your homework, keep your phone charged and call me when you need me to pick you up. That kind of thing.

Having week longs drama forbidding a game that everyone else plays is just not on the map.
> I've never met anybody talented coming from a shitty school who didn't also get filtered into a gifted program

I'm not sure I understand this one.. how would you know the gifted program missed them if they're now spending their life dealing with poverty? I'm guessing you don't mingle with the poors?

I've never met anyone that lives their entire life in the middle of a rainforest. So weird!

Also what the fuck is a gifted program lmao. That must be some London thing, aye? We were lucky to have teachers of the subject teaching the class up north haha
Tesco's parmigiano regiano dop costs 3.20 GBP for 200g and has around 1000 calories. So you can take all your daily calories for 7-10 pounds while eating one of the best luxury foods in the world. Eating mozzarella di buffala dop with dash of olive oil is even cheaper.
Your math checks out.
That's correlation at best (as you said, but worth emphasizing).

And IQ is a problematic metric for anything other than how good you are at taking IQ tests.
I would rather have the income and not have the holidays ruined by being laid off two weeks before Christmas.
Most I've ever gotten for severance was 1 week pay (and I've been laid off 3 times). And that's even in tech (video game studio).

My previous company (a large corporation) did 1 week per year you worked there, capped at 4 weeks (one person I know that was laid off was there for 17 years, only got the 4 weeks). They actually used to be more generous but made significant cuts to their severance benefits shortly before layoffs so they could save a bunch of money on it (they also took away 401k match later, reduced PTO days, eliminated bonuses, froze raises, made our health care benefits worse, let tons of people leave without authorizing filling in gaps so many departments became overworked skeleton crews, all sorts of crap to save money).

So at least in that case, it wouldn't have mattered if I asked what their severance policies were while interviewing.
The market is going up primarily because of 7 companies, which isn't a great outlook.

I'll give that a read too, thanks.

One of that article's points was that nuclear plants only succeeded as mega projects, because:
1) they dovetailed with weapons programs so had a huge additional funding pool,
2) big projects add thermal efficiencies that bring the cost per kwh down significantly
3) any project needs near military grade security, which doesn't doesn't suit small sites
They will appear elsewhere because fundamentally: we want them. Now I can steelman the argument against ads by likening them to parasites or drugs. The "want" can then be put into question. Any way, the bottom line is that simple exposure to ads is not enough for their efficacy and continued existence. Someone has to actually buy the stuff too, and that's a choice which is up to the person. Are we so incapacitated we can't just take some personal responsibility and resist in quiet? I find this revolting mob strategy distasteful, honestly.

Zines have really small reach compared to the app store and Twitter, and yet still also have editorial direction. You can't just send in any ol' thinkpiece and expect to get it published; it will need to resonate with their sensibilities.

The fact of the matter is that everything is gatekept. If you want something done right (as in, not subject to someone else's rules), do it yourself, and you'll find you too will gatekeep after you've spent the considerable effort required to build your own device/OS/appstore ecosystem and social media service, and then someone comes along and tries to tell you how you should run things.
It sounds like you shouldn't rely on Etsy to drive traffic to your store.
Are you willing to reduce meat consumption? What if you don't have to give it up, you just have to commit to cutting down on it a bit? If enough people do that, it's still an incredibly valuable change.

I'm a pescatarian* not because I think eating fish is so much better for the environment than eating meat, but because it's a little harder to eat fish and I have to think more about eating meals and in general eat more vegetarian dishes. And because going full vegetarian seemed too challenging, and I wanted to take a step to improve my impact even if I couldn't go all the way.

Do I think eating vegan is ideal? Yes, but I'm not yet willing to give up dairy, and it's better to make some move than none.

If you eat meat every day, could you set one day a week when you try not to? If you eat it a few times a week, could you set like two days a week when you eat meat, and try not to outside of those?

You don't have to go 100% to make a real difference, and I think people get too caught up in trying to defend their decisions (because they feel attacked) when they could just make a small change at very little personal cost.

*Except sometimes when my food order gets incorrectly completed, or when there's no good non-meat food, or when I just really feel like eating meat
Like a few others, perhaps due to the title, I was expecting a tool to turn your personal profile into a website as a fun way to share your interests in real-time.

Maybe this could be a cool feature for you to add in the future, there's also a bigger market share and perhaps bigger interest for personal versus corporate use.

Add value to people their lives, maybe go the extra mile and offer certain features for a premium.

Also, Google Auth? As the only authentication? No thanks, and I think think this could be the biggest leakage in your funnel, losing many potential (future)
customers.

Perhaps it could be a good move to add simple email sign-ups and read up on the Spotify API rate limits and such in the meantime.

Cool idea man, good luck!

I've been playing Skyrim and Portal 2 on the Switch Lite and it keeps amazing me that games that my PS3 struggled with are now perfectly playable on a handheld device that has pretty good battery life and doesn't burn my hand.

In the US median household income is around 75k and average cost of out of pocket medical costs and insurance for a family is about 18k or about 1/4 of your income alongside the lower tax of at least 22%

The UK has tax brackets like everyone else and the same family would pay about 27% income tax and about 8% of their income in vat.

It looks like everyone but the very well off is worse off in the US.

Keep in mind that that family doesn't have the threat bankruptcy from an uncovered emergency room bill as well.
I fully agree with that, it should be a very high priority to have 6 months of savings before you go on holiday or to a restaurant or anything non essential.
SpaceX has done that every year since 2020. In 2020 they had 26 successful Falcon 9/Heavy launches, 31 in 2021, 61 in 2022, and 91 to date in 2023.
There's never a good time. It's always cruel.

Doing them on Dec 24, yes that would be a dick move to ruin Christmas day itself.

But mid-December isn't worse than any other time. People get severance so it's not like kids are going without presents -- these aren't hourly laborers we're talking about. And you can use the holidays to take some time to think about your next plan of action.
> It's embedded deeply in Google's culture that they not only don't provide support, but they'll insult and gaslight the people asking for it.

This feels like the crux of the difference between Google and Microsoft/Amazon.

Google product culture seems to assume they built everything correctly, so if there's an issue, you're questioning their competency.

Microsoft/Amazon product culture seems to start with "weird things will constantly go wrong", so support is viewed as an opportunity to figure out how things can be made better, based on real world experience.

For most Google products, what seems to be missing is a link between customer support and SRE. I.e. "We're Google, we can't do customer support at our scale. SRE is a superior way of keeping services reliable."

Fair... but SRE doesn't handle "the real world is messy, and here's a situation a product manager never thought of."
Don't they make a shit tone of money during the holidays?

She doesn’t have a car or license. So living in the countryside in the UK is a non-starter. When you’re living life on hard mode already due to poverty and the pernicious destruction of control over your own time that that causes, trying to exist without personal transport and a child is impossible.

I know. I’ve experienced it first hand (as the kid).

To your point about deliberate choice: What I do recognise from the article, and it was clear before she mentioned it, were the signs and symptoms or untreated trauma and ADHD. The deleterious effect of those conditions on decision making often seem to us observers as ‘deliberate choices’. This can be very frustrating for those of us who would and do make different choices in similar situations.

Object permanence is not "learned", it develops at around 7 months. Same as you don't "learn" to reach puberty, your body is pre-built to only start puberty at a certain age. Edit: I should note that object permanence in particular is a more contentious topic. Other parts of of our understanding of the world are more readily assigned to innate functions, though.

Note that many mammals have object permanence, and for some it develops right after birth. The fact that human development is so slow is the only reason some of these things look like actual learning. Another more clear example is our ability to walk/crawl - in humans it seems to be learned, but most other mammals are able to do it within minutes of being born, making it quite obvious it is in fact a genetically coded trait.

We disagree on what the question is. If we are talking about if an atomic bomb could erode the atmosphere I would ask Oppenheimer and not a politician or sociologist. If we don't agree on the nature of the question it's impossible to have discourse. It seems to me that you are confusing x-risk with societal downsides. I , and they, are talking about extinction risks. Has nothing to do with society. Arms,bioweapons and hacking have nothing to to with sociologists.

Just to add specifics, the cumulative inflation since September 2019 is over 20% and it's still growing. All that's changed is the year-over-year velocity has decreased.

But! US average hourly income is also up about 20%. Granted, that's an average - US tech income (upper-middle class) is probably flat, as is the minimum wage-bottom.

"Goodwill" is a bit of an accounting trick: it's the difference between what a company is worth on paper and what the acquirer spent on actually getting it, meant to record the value of all the intangibles the acquirer is getting like existing relationships and prospects of future growth. It's the cost of convincing someone to sell their baby. Unless you're buying something like a gas station with very well understood economics, there's going to be tons of money "spent" on goodwill.

Goodwill impairment means they're (essentially) admitting to making a huge miscalculation on what that company was worth without a change in the tangible assets.

I think it's less about the cash than the PTO. People plan ahead for time off during the holidays. If instead you have to spend the holidays frantically looking for employment, then you're massively stressed during what should be a time of relaxation. The stress placed on the employee simply isn't proportionate to how little it would take for the company to wait two more weeks to lay people off (or plan ahead and lay them off earlier).
