Hey fellow nerd. What project was it? I'm just curious if I came across it. I loved digging through the solutions repositories every quarter or so -- always something new and legitimately useful.

If AWS forced their teams to "dogfood", it would quickly morph into the Testuo blob monster from Akira -- there are too many products/services popping up too quickly, and the amount of time and knowledge lost to the constant changes would be catastrophic.

Dogfooding is for simpler companies. It's also bullshit and best for product managers and sales. Let tech work with what's best for their specific internal environment.

No harm? What about the people who lost their privacy without consent? That doesn't get repaired.

You want the freedom to make your own uninformed decisions based on data that you don't understand. That's fine.

It's when this inevitably leads to uninformed people making bad decisions for others based on easily available that they don't understand -- that is the problem. We've already seen this with shitty Covid tests. We see it all the time when insurance companies use the cheapest routes to "resolve" specific maladies.

If something can be exploited, it will be exploited in a capitalist economy. And everyone needs healthcare eventually.

This is going to simply accelerate the shit show.

Wow, that's some epic invalidation.

How would a sociopath empathize at all? That's the primary skill they lack.

Yes because only military vets experience trauma or some shit.

It's better that it isn't breaking research.

Extra emphasis on fibre. And if the fibre isn't enough, magnesium citrate + water will help.

And always. Wear. Sunscreen.

Correlation isn't causation.

I know, the headline only says "linked", but most people skip over that nuance.

The type of person that would use marijuana daily may not be the type of person to exercise much as they should, or eat as well as they should, or maybe they have incredibly bad anxiety..

It's almost like it's a pervasive issue that can be found in just about every group. It's far more surprising when sexual harassment DOESN'T occur.

Tools don't have lives, so just put them in a drawer.

You have clearly never met someone having a hypoglycemic event. It can absolutely change their personality, as significantly as a head injury.

You haven't been paying attention for the last 20 years.

So millions of Americans don't have access to healthcare and die early because they can't afford it, but you don't want things to change because you're comfortable? Got it.

This shit still happens with regularity.

Sounds like a talking point one would use if you no longer wanted to provide coverage for preventive care.

Why are you relying on "some folks" for medical information? Anecdotal bullshit is a large part of why COVID has been such a tedious shit show.

Stop relying on what you heard and just LOOK IT UP from a legit source. And stop repeating misinformation.

Planned obsolescence. It's baked into every new tech in the last 30 years.

And that is all entirely by design. Which means it can be changed. It is an issue with the companies, not the technology.

Not everyone can do these things. Some people can't afford to start a hobby or go out. Some don't have the time or space. Or mental energy required to go out and be perceived by others. Others may have disabilities that the public doesn't bother accommodating for.

Apps like these offer ways to cope for the time being. There are millions of people treading water and the old coping mechanisms aren't working anymore.

Who else got the answer "Eat the rich"?

You don't sound like a bot so much as your responses are probably extremely average and predictable, thus aligning with bot content.

I learned this week that "occupational burnout" [1] often results in the brain developing a trauma response to the idea of returning to the same job/tasks, which is why people will sometimes entirely switch careers. It absolutely is the brain trying to protect itself.

Not all forms of burnout results in trauma responses, but they all require extended recovery. Burnout is preventable, but once it has been reached, the damage has been done and rest is required. No joke: 3-6 months is the usual recovery time.

Paths to occupational burnout: - No mental rest from work. "Taking it home with you." Often skipping breaks to keep focused. - Jobs that require high amounts of mental processing for long periods (customer service, development, troubleshooting, multitasking, urgent-response).

"Brown out" is the stage when you're still capable of functioning in spurts, but your brain/body is sending warning signs (that we have been taught to ignore).

This would piss me off enough for me to start an advert-free audiobook pirating ring. And I suspect a lot of people would want to participate.

That shit never stopped sounding culty to me. When they broke out "Best employer on Earth", it was a new level of weird.

Homicides and crime still occur, they're just not well-documented. There has to be someone collecting that data and then reporting it. That costs money, so many places just don't.

The absence of data != no activity.
