- jraby3I mean one sided criticism that doesn't account for the damage done to kids by having no online limits, and assuming everyone in the world is as tech savvy as they are.
- It's harder than you think to manage all the devices especially if you aren't especially tech savvy.
There are also a ton of tricks and workarounds it's super frustrating.
- Can you send a link or explain how this can be done?
As a not super tech savvy parent I find it impossible to keep my son off screens. He always finds a workaround. So I'm a fan of age verification especially after reading The Anxious Generation, despite all the hate it gets from hacker news.
- I rode a bicycle from Canada to Mexico (in about a month) with a close friend. We bought a book called Bicycling the Pacific Coast (before smart phones).
I had a cheap $150 univega bike and my friend had a $3000 cannondale. His broke mine didn't :)
We were amateurs. We hitchhiked to a bike shop near San Francisco to fix it. Had some saddle bags with our tent and sleeping bag, clothes and water.
It's very doable. Hardest part is just showing up.
- YouTube does a really good job at making playlists on the fly. Choosing the first song on YouTube will get you a playlist of somewhat similar songs. It took me a while to get used to relative to Spotify but now I much prefer the YT method.
- Other than watching shows in a foreign language and reading subtitles, is there any specific way you use it to learn a foreign language?
I am learning Hebrew but I find that many Hebrew Netflix shows do not offer English subtitles. It's really frustrating.
- YouTube music is really good. I prefer it more than Spotify and if you already pay for YouTube it's free for you.
- I don't think any of those items have had the significance and decisiveness of social media, or have been controlled by billionaires who have corrupted the election systems.
Social media seems far more dangerous and harder to control because of the power it grants its "friends". It'll be much harder to moderate than anything else you mentioned.
- As someone who's considered taking my company public (not a tech company) it's nice to see easier listing requirements on this exchange than the big ones.
- Josh waitzkin breaks this down really well in his book the art of learning.
He's a chess champion and push hands champion and discusses how to learn. Basically as you become and expert in something you learn to pay less attention to the surrounding environment and only focus on what matters, which allows you to see it in "slow motion". This applies to chess champions where masters eye movement focuses on a much smaller part of the board than a beginner, and also in push hands or BJJ where experts fighting for a tiny bit of grip change is what matters but a novice might just see the whole body not moving or doing anything that matters.
Very worthwhile read.
- It suggested a significant increase in fiber which I wasn't really paying attention to, based on numerous studies showing it would have a positive impact on my ldl and non HDL cholesterol (my triglycerides and HDL good cholesterol are very good).
It also suggested eating more fatty fish like salmon 3x per week. And substituting good fats for saturated fat, which is obvious but still very motivating.
- The benefit outweighs the lack of privacy.
I just uploaded recent blood tests and other health info into ChatGPT and then had it analyze what I could do to improve my health, specifically cholesterol and sugar. Then asked it to red team its advice and provide me with one or two things that would generate 80% of the results.
It's pretty awesome having a private doctor that's read every study out there and then can generate advice that will make me live longer and healthier. My doctor certainly doesn't do that. As long as I'm in normal range he doesn't say anything.
- As a small business owner in a non tech business (60 employees, $40M revenue), AI is definitely worth $20/month but not as I anticipated.
I thought we'd use it to reduce our graphics department but instead we've begun outsourcing designers to Colombia.
What I actually use it for is to save time and legal costs. For example a client in bankruptcy owes us $20k. Not worth hiring an attorney to walk us through bankruptcy filings. But can easily ask ChatGPT to summarize legal notices and advise us what to do next as a creditor.
- I don't think it's at all healthy to look directly at the sun.
But I have noticed that my eyes get weaker after spending a lot of time indoors, like if I'm sick. Getting enough time in sunlight seems to be heavily correlated with better eyesight, both in my personal experience fighting farsightedness as a man in his 50s and with studies done on children regarding nearsightedness.
- At least in business, this isn't really true. It makes more sense to form long term partnerships by being trustworthy than to have a reputation of hostility and lawsuits.
- Pricing on these planes is pretty complex. It's a stretch to say that airbus is unequivocally more expensive without comparing various options.

- Don't use a ToDo list. Just put stuff on your calendar!
- Link to show hundreds of thousands of detainees in Israel?
That seems like a massive exaggeration.
- I feel like this didn't touch on the second most important reason not to download the app.
Most of us over use (or are addicted to) our phones and especially to social media. Every barrier you can put in you way to prevent opening it is an improvement.
Opening safari and then having to type in the site name is a better barrier than just opening an app. Logging out every time is a barrier. Putting timers on websites through screen time is a barrier. All these tools help us fight against tech controlling us instead of us controlling the tech.
- It makes around $40 billion a year in revenue. I find it hard to believe it operates at a loss.
It's not a monopoly. Tons of other sites successfully host and profit from videos, such as TikTok facebook etc.
