It's wild people still buy gas cars -you end up paying cost of the car in gas over that time, so really you're buying 2 cars. Say you drive the car 180K miles, that's ~$35K in gas. With an EV it's like 3.5K in electricity. Rough #'s, doesn't even incl service (more w/gas, too).

TikTok, Instagram and YouTube shorts are the digital equivalent of giving yourself a lobotomy. I'm unconvinced you even have to 'outrun AI' you just have to avoid any applications that risk turning your mind into nacho cheese.

The internet is right, it's very strange huge swaths of the population continually got the message "you shouldn't have kids," "why would you bring kids to this place?" or that "you can't ever afford kids" etc. Frequently from their own parents. It's all so dystopian. We messed up.

This is why remote work is so great.
the goal of life is to be excited to go to work and excited to go home.

Love seeing OOH from the new gen of tech media brands - great brands do things online and in the real world (our software makes this really easy for all)

In the UK professors are smearing yogurt on their windows like a person in an insane asylum. No one tell them about HVAC units

Degrowth is a death cult. Dystopian, depressed luddites constantly pushing back on progress, causing untold suffering around the world. And they're even promoting it in many universities. No modern country should ever be put in a position to have to ration power

Just listen to human-curated sets by people really into specific genres. This is a solved problem, machines aren't as good and don't need to be when we have many music nerds painstakingly doing this for free out of passion.
I hate the way that most music streaming recommendation systems work, where it overweights music you’ve listened to recently. And then it’s self-reinforcing to the point where you end up listening to more of the same thing. Can they really not make it better?.

- Study for 20 years .- Work for 40 years .- Free for 5-10 years .- Die . It's a scam.

Everyone is way over-indexed on education and 'consuming content' of various forms. All you have to do is sign off and do things away from screens and lots of things click into place. No one comes up with anything good at their computer, they show up at the computer with intent.

Congrats on making it to another summer Friday, you did it internet friends. Every day we're alive is a rarity and a blessing, it's statistically unlikely you exist at all, yet you do. Hope you finish the week strong, have a restful weekend away from screens, and get exercise/sun.

Casual reminder to young people socialism is a darkly misguided ethos and leads to untold death/suffering. Sounds good, doesn't work. Your college professor lives in a bubble of unreality. Some ideas from academia are strange/bad, you figure it out when you grow up.

If you were a gamer and instead of buying a $300 Voodoo 5 graphics card purchased 2,307 shares of NVIDIA ($0.13 per share) when 3DFX was acquired in 2000, this would be around a $375,000 position now. But you wouldn't have been able to play GL quake, which was priceless.
