>On the good side, I can now look at the control screen on my right or down at my phone for more than ~15 seconds without being nagged.

Wow, I'm glad I live multiple states away from this guy.


Hmm.. what if you wear sunglasses and checkout the screen's figure? Would it still notice?

>the existing coal plants... are being used more

So, they are reverting back to coal, then.


"Github is evil!"... sponsored by (among others) Google.


Their TOS do ban gun sales.


Yeah; they don't enforce it, though. From the article:

> Yet, when the AP reporter made the same exact post but swapped out the words “abortion pills” for “a gun,” the post remained untouched. A post with the same exact offer to mail “weed” was also left up and not considered a violation.


>"a person who follows the latest trends and fashions."

In other words, a person who doesn't think for him/herself. We have plenty of those. They are welcome to stay where they are.


The original, left-justified version is not only more readable overall but makes it much easier to parse the content directory.


I like it more justified usually (as I generally use big screens, reading wide texts is hard), but also when it has some set of max width.


"On average, you take approximately 0.05 seconds to form your opinion of a website"

This is a misquote of a paper (and I don't see peer-review details) from 2006. I don't see how anybody was getting .05 second response on the web in 2006.


> adding points for just being in the Northern America

To the contrary, I find it odd that there isn't a single upper-tier livable city in the western 2/3rds of the US but every city in the eastern 95% of Australia is top tier. Hell, my neighbors immigrated from Australia.


I think Australia is very easy to have a good life in thanks to the laid-back culture and government support (healthcare, benefits etc), imo it is a mix of Europe + America.

The problem also is the laid-back culture which creates mediocrity in my opinion, the tech scene in Europe, America, Singapore is much better as a result.

Depending on priorities its a great place to live, but if you are super passionate about whatever you are doing, it may not be the best place to advance career wise.


Different people have different definition of livable. Even same person has different definitions in different stages of life.

And frequently people move for bigger money or career opportunities over livability.
