This sounds so much like generative ai “excels at creating an explanation for what’s going on, even if it isn’t correct”


There are some ideas only a PhD philosopher can convince themselves of.


Love this comment. It elegantly captures something that most of us know, but is very hard to express.


It's a hard earned comment from experience unfortunately.


In most cases (especially with food prices like this) paying for lounge access looks like a great option.


The handful of international business class lounges in the US that I've visited were comparatively quite stingy/basic with food items (compared to typical counterparts in e.g. Europe or Asia).

Anyone got a recommendation for a JFK lounge that's a good deal when you're paying for access?


Lounges have jacked up pricing as well. Used to be a $25 add-on to a ticket... well worth it when traveling internationally. Recently I've seen $49 or $59 for entry. If you're willing to drop that coin, you can eat pretty well at airport restaurants.


The addition of restaurants to Priority Pass has been an especially nice addition here. After deductions (and plus tip) you can often get a nice sit-down meal for the price of plastic-wrapped garbage elsewhere in the airport.


Why does everybody think this is going to be a huge burden on the government, lots of sensationalism here.

Just by saying “we will backstop depositors” the government will likely have calmed things down enough that that’s the end of the story. Nothing else needed.

The bank has or can likely get the money to pay everyone back just not in 48 hours which is unnecessary anyway given normal outflows for the bank.


Broadly agree with this.

I was once a runner and I loved it!! The problem is I always had pain in my legs, joints, knees etc

cycling, hiking, strength training.

There are better forms of exercise, still, running is better than sitting on the couch and getting started with some sort of exercise is a great idea for your health.


As I understand it, running does not cause bad knees and can even help by building up muscles.

However, if you have bad joints to start with, running can be hard or impossible. In which case, pick another exercise. There are lots.

My favorite thing about running is that it requires little equipment and can be done any time at all. (My second favorite thing is that it's easy to listen to podcasts or music.)

Check with a doctor if you have any pain. There may be something they can do to enable that very convenient form of exercise. And listen to your body. If it hurts, especially in a new way, stop.


"Couch" pretty much = bad posture = bad joints.


That is way too strong assertion. Not all couch potatoes have that bad posture, especially those who used to exercise in the past and stopped and bad posture does not necessarily mean bad joints. Very few of my friends who are around 40 have bad joints, including the couch potatoes. The bad joints will probably catch up with them in time but e.g. my dad was a couch potato from 45 to 67 without any issue. It was only during covid where he want from barely moving to sitting in front of his computer all the time his joints start to hurt. And, yes, his posture has always been terrible.


I said "pretty much" to soften the absolutism of my statement. I should have said "bad posture + running = bad joints."

You do make a good point about prior athleticism as it can promote good joint health.


Agreed same. My knee is too screwed up for running anymore. I stick with cycling, swimming, hiking and the "7 minute workout" morning and evening to keep to something regular.


In order to bring the vision of frictionless deployability, low performance overhead, “just run it everywhere” magic to the broader market, a number of technical innovations were necessary. In this blog post, we will discuss one of the more important ones: how to unwind stacks without frame pointers and symbols.


This does not look like marketing as such, it is usually generated as part of sales (cold) outreach, Sales/Business Development representatives send this type of thing to customers when they are prospecting.

Marketing is different strategy. SDRs/BDRs are looking at very specific accounts and targeting specific people vs marketing which is typically not specific.
