  1. Are there good suggestions for a personal finance class at the high school level that one can take online?
  2. classic case of supply and demand
  3. A request to add Tamil, a widely spoken and one of the earliest classical languages! Thanks!!
  4. this tool is really nice...

    Suggestions: Can I get some transliteration when I hover over it, rather than translation? Maybe a Alt+ ?

  5. In general, people leave or stay for their managers, not their companies.

    In retrospect, in one of the earlier companies, I could see the company not doing well, but had a great boss and stayed, and then got hit by downsizing.

  6. Bathing is no longer considered a luxury, and so will never be given up.
  7. are there places today that don't do some variation of scrum today? Waterfall is pretty much non-existent.
  8. thinkpad t440p with ZorinOS
  9. Kudos to the Magnet man!!

    if that magnet cart design could be open-sourced, then it might be updated or made cheaper by others, and used in other places too!

  10. > maybe books should be read in pairs

    Great idea! Now we need a seperate thread or spreadsheet of books by eminent authors that present contradictory viewpoints!

  11. What benefits can one perceive in the first 7 days, to make a decision on whether it is worth it or not?
  12. if we had to eat this elephant one bite at a time, one option to consider is completely seperating sports from colleges?

    What would be the impact? What are the drivers that could enable youth to participate in sports run/administered by a 3rd party as well as attend college?

  13. Instead of a GirlfriendGPT, a personal assistant GPT - which is hosted in a private location, and receives feeds of all your personal data ( emails, calendar, fitbit) and adhoc ( I can send a note to it saying I drank 6 beers last night).

    It also then remembers all the past conversations, and i guess by then forms a decent idea of your tastes, etc.

    This would be an amazing tool!

  14. Does this in any way enhance protection of a citizen from government or other powerful actors?
  15. this "not knowing the neighbors" is a flimsy excuse at best. This is mostly true of any densely populated city around the world, where people move in for jobs.

    In the past few years, crime in some US cities are committed by certain groups of the population - who are partly encouraged by the local powers.

  16. > Everybody wins

    Doesn't someone have to lose? I am guessing the tax-payers lose somehow, though I don't understand how..

  17. ChatGPT has this annoying habit of crashing or having extended downtime.

    If this UI can capture my query in the case of such a crash and keep retrying till I get the answer, and then notify me (browser, email, etc) - that would be great.

  18. > Nobody but the most OCD germophobe is going to have lower productivity because they are sitting in a desk that someone else was in a day before.

    maybe, at the end of the day, the cleaning crew does a deep clean of the surfaces etc..
