Great clips and editing. New perspective on the scale of self driving cars deployed currently.


What if the digital infra that issues the token is state or Federal software? That should significantly reduce privacy concerns?


Wouldn't that just increase concerns? When it comes to bad actors in this scenario the primary candidate is the state itself.


It is hard to "vote with the wallet" when the chemicals are present everywhere and we hardly know where all it is present - maybe if there is a list of top N most-used/common most dangerous items to avoid - popcorn bags for example.


The RAM being so low is confusing. Given RAM is one of the cheaper components. I guess they do some smart swap memory using SSD - but my Air laptop struggles to run PowerPoint, few browser tabs and video calling at the same time.


> It makes life feel short, fleeting and mundane

I read somewhere else that time speeds up when we repeat a few boring/not-so-stressful things each day.

> reviewing old entries provides a feeling of history that makes life feel soooo long and so rich

I want to agree with it. The more I take on and do, however imperfectly and which involves a bit more stress, it starts to slow down time. At least in the sense that you look back at the previous year and think "wow that was a lot and it seems like so long ago" when it actually wasn't that long ago.

> It makes life feel short, fleeting and mundane

In fact, the key might be to journal more of the mundane things. Like how many times I had to get on a call with the background verification company to speed up my move to the new company.

and from OP article,

> Surprising information comes in droves every single day, so the brain simply paid a lot of attention

how come all the new/surprising info from shorts/reels/tiktok not have a effect of slowing down time haha?


Any thoughts on jute twine or coir twine? Fully plant based. Jute is probably very similar to hemp.


Is there a place that sells it in the same type of packaging as regular baling twine?


I am not aware of the packaging of regular baling wire. You should be able to source coir twine for cheap from SEA in a packaging you want, assuming baling wire packaging is somewhat standardized. But not sure if you have the bandwidth or worth the hassle.


Would you have been surprised if you did find that plastic mulch is actually shredded plastic? I wouldn't have been. That's the prevalence and abuse of plastic.

In USA, open farm lands are literally covered by huge sheets of plastic.


> but they are first in the line getting reimbursed

Sorry about the incident. Do you mean the health-insurance company tries to get reimbursed? From who? the auto-insurance of the other driver?


basically they are unwilling to admit a mistake and fix a small issue. I have seen a few PMs become super defensive and double down on a decision.


so its good my card that was auto-paying for the Copilot subscription expired
