If resolutions were so powerful, why not have monthly, weekly, daily, or hourly resolutions? Imagine the things we could accomplish if all it took was to attach a goal to a discrete unit of time. My new day resolution is to get some more sleep.

How do you plan on shipping every day, being more accountable, and staying focused when you take enough time off to visit 6 different countries in one year? Sounds like resolution #6 should be to stop bullshitting yourself.

They also benefit from a healthy trade surplus thanks to Globalization boosting their manufacturing and labor exports while getting away with being highly protectionist when it comes to domestic production.

Their authoritarian government is nimble and decisive when it comes to implementing policy and they have no loyalty to any one economic or political philosophy. The Chinese are just really good at playing the game, the rest of the world is years behind.

Western Liberals have lower self esteem, a less optimistic outlook, and an overall lower level of satisfaction with life that shapes their world-views [1]. Research indicates that it's not so much that they believe there's not going to be a future, they just don't expect their own futures to get any better and transitively, they are unable to conceive a world that gets better over time.

I have never felt this fear. If the furniture doesn't go together then it's IKEA's fault and I'm sending it back. They've failed in their UX design. IKEA furniture needs to be easy enough for the common denominator to assemble, it's a significant part of their brand value.

I hadn't heard of the company Sense before I read about this blog. I looked up their product... 300 bucks, are you kidding me? And it requires licensed installation on top of that, so maybe even more in labor. Who's buying this stuff and how is their margin defensible from Tesla or somebody selling Raspberry Pi kits for $25?

Not to mention if your only competitive advantage is price, there always is or will be a source of labor that is cheaper than you. For example, a number of startups I work with are now moving their IT support and basic dev to the Philippines. The quality of work is equally bad or worse, but it's even cheaper than India and the language barrier is comparable.

Why is this fellow being downvoted? I'm not seeing anybody else coming up with a better idea.

The quotes you provided in the article weren't clear on this: did you mean to say that some of these companies don't deserve funding or that it would be a better choice for them to continue to grow and operate without raising capital?

Wow imagine a UBI concept that has a barrier to entry dependent on one's merit and qualifications and stipulates that the recipient contributes a certain number of hours per week to a pursuit that generates a positive economic input. This is a brilliant idea, if only somebody had come up with this earlier.

How do you think Alec Baldwin got a job?

Aren't the pictures of Donald Trumps "thicc ass" attempting to climb a hill while playing golf considered sexual objectification, harassment, profaning somebody’s personal space in a public context, and a denigration of late-manhood?

One's a cartoon depiction, another is a real photograph taken without consent. Why would they take down the former but leave the latter to proliferate?

Hillary is a democrat, Bernie Sanders is an extremist. So the mantra stands.

Yes, let's wait until after the holidays so at least 1 month has passed before we publicize the breach, that will surely get the consumers to understand where we're coming from.

I would like to hire you as VP of Public Relations for my company.

Not to mention there are an infinite number of 5 minute tutorials on YouTube. You don't have to be trained, you just need a set of eyes and a brain. I'm glad an increasing number of phone manufacturers, not just Apple, put form factor and durability above user laziness.

I think it's because such a small percentage of competing applicants are likely to have substantial projects anyway, you may as well focus on the common denominator of the interview, which are the data structures and algorithms questions.

What's the right-wing counterpart to Shareblue? I have never seen something equivalent to the effectiveness of modern "grassroots" messaging campaigns sponsored by certain democratic chessmasters. The fact that full-time protester is now a decently paid and socially acceptable job is incredible.

Left wing propaganda is so strong and coordinated these days that they can develop a new goal and drive a single message repeatedly across multiple platforms for months or years. This defense of Google's monopoly is a new left wing message developed this year but they just keep hammering at it across all their channels tailoring their argument to the different audiences and continuously building mind share and momentum.

I haven't been able to find many examples of working WASM projects or experiments for a topic I have been hearing about for years, but here's one that seemed pretty well made:

However it appears all the video editting effects render slower through WASM than JS, what's the deal?

Honestly if he had asked for my consent, I might have thought about letting him brand my organ, it's not like anyone will see it or care. It might mean he takes more pride in his work and thus do a better job.

I understand a professional wanting to "sign off" on their work; programmers, scientists, artists, engineers and so forth really like putting their name on things so why not doctors?

If he were forthcoming maybe only 10% of patients might agree to it, but that should probably be enough to scratch some egotistic itch.

This post is a dog whistle.

Ladies and gentlemen, behold astrotrufing.

#15 under Complete Survey Results asks "Has your gender helped or hindered your ability to fundraise?"

58.2% said their gender directly hindered them. Unless the majority of respondents to this survey are female I don't see how the numbers can add up if only 12 men make up that 58.2%?

Seems paradoxical that the Dunning-Kruger effect is being applied to the Dunning-Kruger effect.

Equipment costs aside, gridiron is a very position-centric game. It's difficult for 22 random people to start a recreational pick up game.

Players are rarely trained in more than one or two positions and winning certain matchups are heavily dependent on the height and size of that player being within an optimal range for that position.

Casual backyard football will often be played as 4 on 4 or 7 on 7 but that takes away the line play which IMO is the most unique and cerebral aspect of American football.

According to the article her friend died, leaving her a $20,000 windfall to buy a car.

> “I thought I could handle eating and shopping,” she said, “but lunch put me over the top.”

If lunch put her over the top as she says, why did she buy a $21 lunch? The Ice Tea probably cost at least $3.50.

Let's be real, there weren't two extra meals in those leftovers.

Journalists shouldn't be demanding higher pay while news revenues are falling across the board and the industry is being inundated with more Communications grads than ever. The economics just don't work out in the ad-block and fake news era.

If you were able to post on Facebook, why didn't you have a GPS signal from which you could deliver your co-ordinates over the internet? (Just curious, not sure if I'm missing something)

For the foreseable future, robots and chatbots will be poorer UX than speaking to a human. Since it's not adding value to their product it's obviously being done for cost cutting and scale reasons.
