> Morals are the things you value, like liberty and happiness

I disagree, the conventional and I think the more widely understood meaning of 'morals' would be 'principles' or 'standards of right and wrong'. I think the term 'values' would do just fine.

SNMP is Simple Network Management Protocol You probably want Outlook to do SMTP, Simple Mail Transfer Protocol.

> I have had way too many evenings after I get the kids in bed where I think, "I'll just unwind on my phone for a few minutes and then work on something." There's a hack for this which I find works, just go to sleep at 8pm or 8:30pm instead right after the kids. Wake up at 4pm-4:30pm (yes I need a full 8 hours every night, not negotiable), you'll have much more willpower to tackle your side project in the morning before your kids wake up. Given the choice between reddit and side project, reddit will win. Given the choice between reddit and sleep...it's much easier to pick sleep even if reddit is more tempting.

That's a great way of thinking about it.

p.s I think you mean 4am.

Honest related question:

EDIT: This was not entirely related but it goes to the notion that it seems like a lot of myopic decision-making has somehow become even more acceptable and I would say this leads to dumb situations as above, and Node.

> Should we genetically manipulate ourselves to increase our pro-social behaviours? It seems clear that if society flies apart then all the critiques I've mentioned will be true simultaneously, I do not see how that can plausibly be positive. What about genetic intervention?

I would like to do the same with our gigantic SPA-ghetti.

I think more people care more /know more about Christmas than the French Revolution.

I'm interested in pushing boxes. It sounds relaxing. Well, relatively. Have you heard of webpack?

It's "nip in the bud"
