It’s probably selected for. We’re pokers by natural selection.

If you enjoyed TRM, his other book The Happiness Hypothesis surprisingly covers this and other concepts in much better detail relative to the OP.

Old enough!? I'm old enough to remember that and I'm only... nearly 40, damn.

The Sleep With Me Podcast is very good. It helped my wife when she had a period of insomnia.

He has a number of tricks he uses from a monoto delivery, to meandering stories where the narrative constantly interrupts itself with. So you can’t really “follow along”.

What are we doing where looking after children is seen as a con for “the labor supply of senior workers”, and “the labor supply of young mothers”.

Won’t someone think of the labour supply!

Childcare is labour. It is work. It’s the most important work in a society.

What is this very mild cyberpunk motif doing in my cyberpunk library website?

Grandparents, young cousins, older siblings, family friends, aunts and uncles, and extended family beyond. Simply being around frequently, and also easily available when needed. Very little of this has to do with female labour force participation.

Yes, my wife and I live away from family. On the weekends, when there is no nanny, we are at work 100% of the time with him. One's only downtime is when he naps, or when your partner is looking after him.

Once we add a second child to that mix it'll be 100% of each of our time the entire time.

It's pretty extreme.

We both work full time (like most millennial families), so if we couldn't afford a nanny we literally could not have a child.

Indeed. And because of it’s age and outlook its view is very far back and very far forward.

The casual reference to a 135 year old encyclical that dealt with the seismic shift of industrialisation took me quite aback for a number of reasons.

Funnily enough I work in the security industry and the term is ubiquitous there, so I didn’t even notice it.

I am above average (by a small margin) on Lichess, and it sounds trite but to be average at chess you have to not make blunders.

Things like not leaving a piece hanging undefended, not falling into one move tactical traps (forks/pins etc.), and learning how to check mate.

You can achieve all of that by playing slower games, and doing some puzzles.

Business school writing frequently smells like Post hoc rationalisation to me (with some confirmation bias mixed in).

While I always wanted to like Locke's arguments more, they always felt the weaker of the two, and frequently seemed to need to plug god into the gaps.

Unifi (which the OP uses) even has dedicated devices for this type of failover: https://help.ui.com/hc/en-us/articles/29887153953559-UniFi-5...

Isn’t that this from the (Anthropic) article:

“Our first step was to use Claude to find previously identified CVEs in older versions of the Firefox codebase. We were surprised that Opus 4.6 could reproduce a high percentage of these historical CVEs”
