The problem is not annoyance. The problem is confusion.

One should aim for clarity.

FooPilot, Barwonk, etc.. would actually be a vast improvement.

I’ve been in the startup and scientific community for 25 years now and during that that time I’ve run across about two dozen 30 under 30s. Every single one with exception of two were douchebags.

I think a reason it so over represented by douchebags is because the awardees — unlike McArthur winners — are very involved in the nomination process and work to game the system.

I’m surprised no group has hacked the Epstein files, given the extreme interest.

hacking groups are generally funded by the people that are in the files. -> government leaders.

It’s going to take a SCOTUS decision overturning Ambler vs Euclid in my opinion.

We certainly will not see zoning reform until the Boomers die.

Case in point: my parents. Built a house in 1988 and they still live there. Two people in 3500 square feet. Four bathrooms and five bedrooms. Meanwhile, you need a family income of 3x the median to rent a townhouse 1/3rd the size nearby.

This is beyond ridiculous and it’s totally unsustainable.

Yeah, but the inverted pyramid demographics can’t last forever.

There’s a lot of truth here, but two countervailing points: first younger generations own homes than Boomers at equivalent ages; second Boomers are particularly blind to the effects of zoning and strongly oppose development due to see firsthand the effects of 1950s urban redevelopment. They also love cars.

Us younger generations will have seen firsthand the negative effects of zoning, we do not possess a visceral opposition to development, and there is much greater appreciation of walkable neighborhoods.

What’s to stop an enterprising, well funded startup from opening a fully automated port?

The Jones Act

“Bargained effectively”? Union boss Harold Daggett extorted the US public by threatening to “cripple the US economy’ if his demands were not met.

I am trying to use more neutral language when I comment, so that the underlying assertion of facts are more likely to resonate with someone who may disagree with me.

I agree with your characterization, but I just wanted the parent comment to look up the ILWU, where they would probably see some of those facts for themselves and be more likely to understand my position.

As the human internet dies, I feel like it's more important for those of us that want some of it to survive to participate constructively.

Fair enough.

That is the leverage unions have. Do you expect them not to use it? The union isn't there to protect the economy, it's to protect its members.

Please provide me examples where the CEO of a major company threatened to cripple the US economy if his/her demands were not met.

As opposed to businesses which never use their leverage for the busnisses benefit over the nation as a whole?

This is a fantastic resource, not only for present generations, but also especially for future generations if any of these objects were to be damaged or destroyed.

I don’t know the legal protections around automation, but the unions virulently fight efforts to automate the industry.

You should listen to Harold Deggett, the dockworkers union boss who threatened to cripple the US economy if automation was introduced:

He also lives in a 70,000 sqft mansion:

OneNote should officially get this as well.

Reistance training — moreso than cardiovascular exercise — can improve sleep quality and duration. Both have significant effects on daytime mood and cognition. A good exercise program incorporates both resistance and cardiovascular exercise.

It's important to keep cortisol low, and over-exercise can cause cortisol to spike – as does depression in general, hence the sleeping difficulties many depressed people experience. Likely that's why resistance training and HIIT are more helpful in this case as there is less built up of stress hormones.

I've been diagnosed with moderate to severe depression, and I'm a trial runner and do CrossFit. It's a balancing act to find strength and feeling capable through sport without increasing insomnia and early waking, likely because of cortisol spikes.

Sport does more for me than antidepressants, which have little effect than making me feel tired all the time. I've gone through a whole battery of them with little success and I've become quite critical of them. But I'm lucky to generally like sport and eat pretty healthily; I can imagine for others that can be an extra stressor they really don't need.

Thanks this is new to me (I'm mostly a cardio guy), didnt' know there was any difference in sleep quality/duration between cardio and lifting. They both help sleep btw it just turns out according to recent research resistance training helps more. Both are need though for a healthy lifestyle and I think cardio is actually more accessible for most people; I'm gonna count brisk walking as cardio for most people and that's the most accessible type of excercise everyone but the extremely debilitated can do.

I don’t like anecdotal evidence, but for myself I was running regularly but still experiencing suboptimal sleep. I started resistance training again and my sleep immediately got better.

I'm down with that , resistance training is clearly good. Cardio is also clearly good (both groups had better sleep than the group that didn't do any cardio). People should just do something, even walking birskly. We should all simply try to move and/or lift things.
