You can keep keep a journal and that's already probably too much information. Who goes back and reads that stuff? What is the point of logging every step you ever too when it doesn't matter in the slightest? I keep track of some details in regards to exercise, but I throw the sheets away at the end. And the values I keep are just to reference how much I am doing and if I should increment. Is there really anything interesting about going back to check on that? Does a big long Apple Watch streak equal a life lived?

My dog's propensity for diarrhea makes me feel less inclined to state that she has any tolerance for it.

Maybe they had internal teams that were working on a new social network app and are now divesting from that (not working on it, not releasing it). Maybe they had a lot of smaller teams who were iterating on the experience to increase engagement, lower friction etc which they will now not pursue etc. "Bloat" is a bit naive that somehow they are just paid to look at the left corner of their office or something. The company built out teams to look into new experiences or to make the experience better and they are going to be doing less of that at least for a while

k thanks, so I guess you've studied this for as long as it took to write 129 words on the subject. I am going to have to be way more interested in the actual people who are studying and experimenting with this at this point, I can't allocate any interest at all in your 129 word paper on the subject.

We won the pandemic but blood sacrifice to the market is also good

You really have to respect that Hacker News now has a website offering a free course for working out on its main page. But really I get it, he's worked out in 50 countries and people ask him "how they train in Taiwan or Ecuador." This isn't just a regurgitation of anything you could find in Men's Health. It's new information.

I guess there have been multiple times in my life where I see the suggestion that I am just missing "personal branding" and decided not go with that. I think it probably appears to particular people, and it doesn't appeal to me.

Apparently it was Elon Musk who deserves the credit, at least he says so.

I've definitely noticed that since the release of Apple Music they have become increasing passive aggressive about local music collections. Losing cover images, somehow classifying songs from the same album/artist into many different artists or albums in lists, poorly syncing music playlists by creating new ones with a "1" appended to it leading my playlist of "workout" to duplicate to "workout 1" and then "workout 1 1" and then "workout 1 1 1" as I add or remove tracks.

We'll see if new leadership is capable of learning any lesson at all
