In the cold light of day I regret my obnoxious comment

He’s assuming some knowledge and experience on the part of the reader; that’s how it appears to me.

Upon reflection it seems like he went overly broad with the scope of this article.

If you’ve already interacted with things like the Enneagram test, you’ll already have the context to deal with his comments.

I learned a ton from this post, perhaps it’s because I’ve had a lot of experience interacting with all the problems and challenges he lists out. I got a lot of nuggets from it in terms of insights into problems I have faced and will continue to face.

Perhaps for the less experienced, this is less helpful, as they would miss this context.

It’s become a trope that the news written about topics we know is woeful and unreliable, yet we trust the news written about anything else.

Now I feel the same about HN. I know a decent amount about this topic - and the comments on this article are a dumpster fire so far.

Hot take after hot take from people who didn’t understand the article, but act as if they did.

Is the rest of HN like this, too?

He literally discusses the origins and problems of various personality tests in his article

I doubt I’m the only one a bit surprised by this post.

Do you live with your partner? How do you split shared or somewhat-shared expenses? Are your incomes equal? Who has the role of managing expenses? If you go out to dinner, who pays? What if you share a dessert? (.. etc - you get my point.)

I hope you’re willing to expand given your enthusiasm for your lifestyle, but more context will help.

This is also the entire message of Mark Manson in his book ‘the subtle art’

Compound has no negative connotations, but is not really used in this context either.

Typically one would just say - the school, or perhaps the grounds. Campus is also common; but generally in the context where the school has multiple campuses.

I’m so surprised to read this. My only interpretation is that your sense of smell might be diminished. Your Big Mac can be smelt from around 3-4 rows away in both directions. It’s really unpleasant to sit there for a period of time smelling that, but people aren’t going to say that to a complete stranger.

(I see I’m not the only one triggered by the Big Mac comment. PLEASE do not do this.)

Anyway, as the veteran of a bunch of 15hr flights, many of them part of longer 25-30hr hauls, here is my one tip....

1. Accept that you are on a plane for a lengthy period of time.

That’s it. Most of the unpleasantness comes from resisting the reality. Stop resisting it. You will be in a plane for a length of time. Accept it.

I’ll have sympathy for them when they start paying victims of crime for the ads they sell right next to the articles detailing their pain.

Drumming up changes in Prime Ministers just to increase their ratings. These companies are NOT champions of the people. They’re just as greedy as Google and far less ethical.

Disingenuous. Google News doesn’t provide massive, moderated discussion so that you can figure out the gist of the article without opening it. (I haven’t opened this article, to take one example.)

No.

The Age doesn’t pay the State Parliament to talk about politics. It doesn’t pay restaurants to talk about their restaurants (besides paying for their meal when it’s a review, of course.) It doesn’t pay the AFL to talk about footy. Nor do they pay the families of murder victims whose deaths they monetise.

These news organisations are asking Google to pay for something; forgetting that their entire business is based on monetising news events which they do not pay for.

To expect Google to pay them for the privilege of sending traffic which they can’t figure out how to monetise is ridiculous.

Especially so when all traffic to the Herald Sun, for example, runs directly into a pay wall.

It’s on THEM to figure out their business model. Google is literally teeing up thousands of possible customers for them on a daily basis. What more do they have any right to ask for?
