I am having so many issues with my vision. I don't have a very high prescription(+1.5 on left and +1.25 on my right) but I consulted 3 eye doctors and optometrists last year. I still don't think my prescription is correct as I get headaches and my eyes get tired after few hours. I don't know if there is any better solution around.

I think internet was way awesome before digital advertising era. There should be areas of internet which should try to replicate the early internet i.e text-only design, bring back forums and no advertising revenue.

Modern society and work makes people have less free time to form memories. Certainly, people felt time is running fast even in older times but I doubt if time ran faster at the same rate for people from say 50s as much as it is for us today?

I think common wisdom now is don't put too much effort until you validate or test the idea. How do you not invest too much time if the traction takes too long?

This is one of the major gripes I have with modern software too. It is becoming overly inefficient. I personally attribute this to two reasons:

1) Product managers have more influence and decision making in prioritizing what should be delivered. I have routinely encountered wherever I worked that any work related to improving efficiency or spending time in non-business related work is constantly de-prioritized. Controlling programmers time means certain system bugs get lower priority and junk accumulates over time and software gets bloated. There are code-path ways which are not being used anymore but no-one bothered to clean up as they have not been instructed to do so yet.

2) I find the explosion of javascript in popularity is a major reason of this inefficiency. Imagine the compute and electricity wasted globally because certain developers don't want to build multi-threaded applications and prefer dynamic typing.

Why are Japanese so adamant and self-sabotaging? What explains this behavior? Their govt simply refuse to tackle population decline. They could easily give tax breaks to families and encourage people to have children. They also seem to be adamant on not opening up immigration. Is there any deep social reasons for this?

Modern city lifestyle doesn't have much physical activity. This could be the reason why we see increased depression and anxiety. This could also be the reason why people in third world countries don't have this level of depression and anxiety in their society. They have much higher level of physical activity and movement throughout the day.

It is hard to do this once you stuck in a job which is not demanding and you have to keep this hobby yourself. I think thats where most programmers/engineers fail. Few side projects but then they lose motivation to keep going.

Started experience this around 35. Im 37 now. Its been hell since I was very productive in my 20s and now at a point I am unable to function.

There are other factors which contribute more to mental health but this is like justifying what the authors want using mental health as a reason. Making cities more walkable would be better for other reason but I doubt if mental health would significantly increase if we make cities more walkable. San Francisco is very much walkable but has highest mental health issues.

Who will pay for the operational costs?

It made video calls more accessible. They used mobile first approach so it was more accessible to lot of people. WebEx was a pain the ass use on desktop and it still is. Eric Yuan begged Cisco to invest more in WebEx and got frustrated and left and built Zoom.

Discord's video quality is laughable. May be it depends on where in the world you are using it but it has the worst video quality in my experience.
