We should just rename Internet to Infinite Jest.

I mean, there are some theories that the mental illness epidemic is partially caused by internet use. I did strict 2 months Internet fast and I can attest it has a healing effect. Does it have entertainment-to-death effect? I guess there is a bigger than expected number of suicides that wouldn't happen have the people not been addicted to Internet. But I agree with every passing year we are moving further and further into entertainment-to-death with our civilisations.

Makes me kinda sad to work in tech industry.

Mega is only good for pirating content. Why were you using it not for pirated content?

Medical industry is corruption prone.

Another example: Industry sponsored conferences. Doctors are invited to a 3 day 4 star hotel stay to attend a conference. Technically, talks that are paid shilling are specially marked as sponsored talks.

But are the other doctors, who are getting paid to speak there 100% independent?

Will you be a 100% independent doctor after getting free presents?

Maybe you will. But industry probably found its profitable if they spent millions on these kinds of conferences.

Also lie repeated multiple times makes you believe in, there are psychological studies. So when you spend hour listening how drug X is gold, you might start believing its gold

so you never click on those news articles here?

I am also thinking about not news per se but opinion pieces, lifestyle, technology articles?

Re:A contrarian take on working long hours on Wednesday March 23, 2022 @01:00PM (#30780605)
I am not in SF but follow a lot of people there. My intuition is a lot of them promote long hours. I also worked in a few startups in Poland and all of them promoted long hours. I think the idea of working hard is real in startup scene, even though posters here might disagree. Take notice of most of us here are engineers, not business people
It was big issue when buying sanitary equipment (not sure if thats the word: faucets, toilet etc, shower). It was mostly because of Roca selling through 3rd party shops with physical locations. Every location had like 5% of whole catalogue so a lot of calling to find even a few things.

After that, I did a lot of buying without touching things. Also bought a lot of IKEA because seriously I got fedup with the whole experience of buying furniture

clickbait, he says unfairly does not mean unethical

Wow! I am right now in the furniture market and wasnt really aware of this problem!

I actually found another problem that is also very annoying, at least where I live. I had specific items from my architect, but I wanted to touch most of the things before buying. Had to call 10 shops for each item to ask if they have it on exposition!

Harder to make money on this, and not sure if this problem is in USA but so annoying for buyers

clickbait. You raised prices, by deleting freemium
sure, but hes asking for remote work as well, for those staying in Moscow.

I think its very funny, him speaking about 2hours a day, like his in grave danger. He didnt mention anything about being presecuted.

I happen to know people stuck in Ukraine fearing for their life so please excuse me that I find it hard to emphatize with him. I would feel bad if he dint overstate how bad his situation is.

Bro, we put sanctions on you for a reason, not to help you after they hurt you.
