that's a good answer!

No offense but why are you on social media at all lol.

>I haven't set an alarm for work in years, can buy what I want without too much consideration, mostly work when I feel like it, and the work I do is often interesting.

You are doing better than 99% of people who have ever lived!

I thought I was gonna hate this but I ended up enjoying it a lot haha, thanks for sharing!

this makes me want an iPad, looks beautiful, bookmarked for the future!

I disagree with that philosophy completely. "One of the brightest undergrads at Caltech" with a "PhD offer at Berkeley", sounds like someone with an incredible high IQ and work ethic to match. This person really thinks that with their incredible talents they can't do more than a few million $ lifetime worth of "good" in the world by following their passions instead working in algorithmic trading? I think they are selling themselves short.

I'm bookmarking this!

I tend to agree with this, I've always thought ridesharing was rather beautiful in terms of economic efficiency: pair those with extra money but who don't want to drive at that moment with those with extra time who want money. As long as there is adequate education about the all-in costs of car ownership I am all on board. And at scale it reduces traffic (or at least amount of cars in an area).

probably single family home

lmao I agree completely

Why can't Elon Musk be as uncharismatic and uninteresting as Mark Zuckerberg, sometimes I don't like his tweets! :__(

Also its much easier to say every should go to school online when the person saying it most likely already got to go to college for real.

if that person is 18-22 years old, given the data, how is it irresponsible?

You don't have to be in a frat to have the "college experience", but you should explore interests outside of your direct course of study and meet new people. I think you will regret it if you just keep your nose down the whole time, whether or not its right you are paying for much more than classes. Given a second chance I would follow this advice :)

Your son wants to be there in person and he is at no danger from the coronavirus...

EDIT: *infinitesimal danger

This article is all well and good but realistically, in 2020, if you were a teacher at any grade level who taught about slavery or colonialism with any nuance whatsoever your career would be promptly executed by internet firing squad.

IMO this book should be required required reading for college students.

Has anyone confirmed this is true (or is this tweet the only source...)?

It seems you can only get a refund by reporting a problem, which means if your app works as described you shouldn't be able to request a refund.

metapost: this is the first gun related thread I've seen on the front page, I wish it happened more often. Similarly I always get excited when I see a gardening related thread, I like reading HN perspective on "non/low-tech" hobbies.

When the hysteria of "your dog is gonna get coronavirus too!" is spread on national news it dilutes the messaging to wear masks and social distance. It's a fact but arguably irrelevant in context.

thanks, that's important to note and definitely explains why it is politicized.

> “People have prevention fatigue,” Goldman told me. “They’re exhausted by all the information we’re throwing at them. We have to communicate priorities clearly; otherwise, they’ll be overloaded.”

This was the best quote from the article for me. In my experience as a casual news watcher, the messaging about the virus has finally unified into a simple, easy to digest one in the last month (masks help, continue to social distance, etc.). But for the first few months of this all the articles about Covid particles living on every surface for weeks and then the even more nonsensical stories about pets getting Covid thinned out the whole message so much that I empathize with people who didn't take it seriously.

this image contradicts everything I've maybe ever heard about "American manufacturing"'s decline. Not saying the image is wrong, it's just impressive how much one segment of industry has been politicized.

I have heard almost verbatim from two different friends with large families that after the 4th kid they start to take care of themselves!

>Over communicate. Explain the why's of everything.

I would like to second this, if your schedule allows it. Attempting to make sense of a large codebase (that likely has much domain-specific and even historical reasoning within) when you are inexperienced and/or new to the domain can be a much better experience if the information flows as freely as possible from the expert to the new person.

I'm hard-pressed to believe that Apple Maps may have something Google Maps doesn't, but I was able to choose between between a "faster" (by 5 minutes over nearly 5 hours) and "simpler" route for the drive I took from AZ to Utah 2 days ago.

As someone very early in my career at a large company, I am bookmarking this, thanks!

if anyone sees this: wikipedia answers: "Hügelkultur is the practice of burying large volumes of wood to increase soil water retention. The porous structure of wood acts as a sponge when decomposing underground. During the rainy season, masses of buried wood can absorb enough water to sustain crops through the dry season"

Does anyone know why you don't have to water it? I didn't understand that from the article.

I was thinking the same thing until those animated dots continued to fly around the screen while I was trying to read the words. A strange design choice...

So in a world where targeted ads are actually useful you would probably opt-in? Would you ever try something like this?

You'd take a survey about your interests and/or things you're in the market for then you would get a monthly email with a variety of targeted ads. Over a year ago I wrote down in my "ideas" notebook "privacy respecting opt-in email advertisements" but then when I looked at it again later on I thought "I don't think anyone would sign up for this" haha.
