For me the checklist would be:

1. Sleep quality 2. Nutrition quality 3. Exercise 4. Lifestyle

First make sure that all the above is in check.

At some point the search filed stooped searching. It is something like:

* Here is the most popular results that are slightly relevant to your query. E.g. African war lord will pull up a gamer playing pranks on other gamers.

* Then, we give up. Here is some unrelated videos we hope will distract you searching what you are looking for.

Is this what tech should look like? Search has been purposely broken.

You make an interesting point but the same problem is now on the hands of the political regime(hopefully a wide segment of society) to decide the value of things.

What about taking the ore to sea level and doing the process there. It's downhill.

This is the greatest flaw in markets. It's said that markets compute the right values for trade goods. But it should be qualified to: Value now (or in the short term).

In any specific moment value has certain dispersion due to multiple factors. The uncertainty of value in the future is huge because those factors compound.

My point is that I believe markes only work in the short term. For long term planning (~one huamn lifetime, a civilization life time) markets don't work.

But should apple we liable when they, or any other organization making such claims, inevitably fail to protect their users?

I think their should.

I found reading books, like novels, helps to build the necessary skills to chain complex ideas together in "real time".

This seems like the more ethical approach with regards to giving credit to the original author.

I've seen projects (on GitHub, won't call them out) get bad reputation when the maintainer implements code previously submitted as a PR.

I'm no historian, but I really enjoy this podcast.

I feel a bit of guilt knowing that a whole civilization had to fall to produce each of these episodes. This is really expensive to produce!

DRM doesn't work in games, go to a torrent site to see all the failed attempts.

    1. It costs money
    2. It makes the product worse(slower, less portable,etc...) for your _ paying _ customers.
    3. It doesn't work if the game is good.
Just add a copyright note on the corner and make sure to have good distribution.

I don't think that's the best way to use Optional in java. In particular the use of isPresent & get kind of defeats the purpose. Should be something along the lines :

   ...
   sum = 0
   opt = getOptional(n)
   sum = sum + opt.orElse(0);
   ...
Also maybe use something like OptionalInt (but for long).

That dashboard was gold. RIP.

One of The Osterholm update's video (a podcast) was censored for spreading "misinformation".

I hope they can survive this.

M4 syntax looks that way because it has to work for arbitrary text files.

Quotes can be redefined to an arbitrary string

   changequote(`[[[', `]]]')
And some editor give you syntax highlighting.

1. Paying customers get worse experience than pirates. 2. Your software lifespan is reduced. (Worst if you use 3rd party DRM). 3. The company pay for something that 99% of the time doesn't work.

So I see the intent, but not the logic

I believe I understand your point, but there these options (as I see things):

1. There is little correlation, but there is actual causation (e.g: a cricle)

2. There is correlation, but it turns out to be a fluke later during validation.

So, yes. It suggests but in both cases I'd rather continue checkcing
