I just kept mine in my room

What if you can't afford the operation because you're uninsured. Also i have insurance to mitigrate the risk of big loss, not increase it

> "A rational society at our current stage of development would be celebrating job destruction, not creation."

Destruction of jobs in our current society would mean bad things for many people.

I understand what you were going for, but society is not at that point yet imo

Our current society is definitely not rational, which I inferred as the point. Our economic system is a good 80% complete nonsense, where we're essentially playing a very complicated and meaningless game with ourselves, except one with meaningful consequences for real people.

You're making me so happy, because the most frustrating thing for me is that, with how tied up in personal and cultural identity and self-worth it all is, few people are willing to admit or recognize this.

Economy, at its core, is a network of transaction predicated on value.

Value, at its core, is nothing more than a perception.

Google's business location coverage in suburban areas is far better than OSM from my XP...by a longshot

My commute often leaves me feeling exhausted & annoyed (2 hours each way, half on the train)

The main positive thing that came from this commute was reading for pleasure (somthing I was not doing beforehand)

I don't try to max productivity on the commute, and my mental health thanks me for that

That's half a work day spent in commute man ... why?

Less than half, i spend 9 to 10 hours at the office, and I'm saving towards a house (extra cash from cheaper rent)

My favorite is when someone in an ad says "I'm not an actor"

At many DS jobs you will be working closely with developers

Where I work we prefer DS canidates that have some SE background and could comfortably deploy a model (even if it's just to heroku)

We pass on a lot of really smart DS applicants who havent had the SE xp, simply because many of them would take a lot longer to get up to speed

This is just one data point, and some DS jobs probably wont require the SE xp, but hope it helps & best of luck!

The number of users reporting regular use doesn't necessarily mean more people are using

I feel much more comfortable talking about useage now that it's legal & more socially accepted, but legality did not influence the frequency of useage for me or the friends i knew who smoke weed

Slightly off topic, but you can order glasses (frames and lenses) for under $10 on zennioptical.com

Ive ordered my last 3 pairs there, and will never pay $200 for glasses again

Doesnt seem very different than flushing stuff down the toilet when you see the cops pull up to your door with a search warrent
