It’s not only more comfortable to file off those sharp edges but also makes the laptop less dangerous to carry around. Those sharp edges not only cause discomfort but can chip paint, damage furniture, and inflict damage in general. If you had to you could use it as a weapon I suppose.

There’s an OBGYN we’ve long had a relationship with who takes on residents and cross pollinates with them for a win win knowledge transfer. They also volunteer overseas with charitable medical efforts. Those are probably interesting avenues for keeping up with things from the outside to some degree I imagine.

The secret is to find independent doctors who have their own private practice and who have hospital admit privileges. Also physicians who take cash payment and operate outside a big health organization or who have affiliations with them but don’t answer to them.

I don’t know one way or another but what specifically are the pain points of deflation and how do those compare to the never ending inflation? I’ve lived under inflation all my life, it’s a slow creeping nearly sub threshold insidious process that erodes the value of money. Buy what is life like under deflation, is there pain but ultimate correction to a sane state? It feels like there is no correction to inflation.

What would it take to shift the balance of inflation to restore the purchasing power of the penny? Just out of curiosity how does a government and a people and their economy go the other direction?

characterize it in terms of truth, clarity of truth, simplicity, and correctness. I think we should always evaluate things along those dimensions. Is it true, does it produce truthful things. It makes the evaluation very objective.

every attempt I've attempted thus far has failed at first run, but it was close to a solution that could be adapted and fixed. This has been especially helpful in areas where I'm charting very unfamiliar territory for very narrow scoped problems.

But hearing your 10 line constraint gives me a very https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infinite_monkey_theorem vibe to the challenge.

why did he have to endure them anyways? Was he not a volunteer, what gives?

very interesting, essentially riding the coattails of the notoriety in derangement, what a concept.

Thought the same thing, there's a modern equivalent/updated version found someplace written from the perspective of an iPad or an iPhone I think.

To apply a financial analogy I once read in the money/finance network on the Stack Exchange "we can afford to buy anything, we cannot afford to buy everything"

I think it has a grasp of revisits, I forget the exact terminology but if you rewatch stuff I tries to predict will you like to watch it again. Some stuff is not worthing multiple times though, once is enough. But music videos can indeed be watched multiple times.

I think I heard somewhere that a lot of kid videos rank in the top stratosphere of view counts on YouTube because kids just play stuff on repeat. There's probably a lot of repeat plays going on across YouTube.

I wonder about the idea where we measure a metric, and cut off the tails of the distribution. This presumes we have a regular means of sampling the metric to lend a time profile of it.

I've been long familiar with that poem, but for the first time today I realize that its connected to our nature in how we're brought into the world. The long succession of mother and fathers springing forth new life. No human has ever just sprung up independent from prior human life or some lesser organism.

Yes, I've been learning that this is a fundamental realization to make that the pie grows and the economy is not this fixed sum game where someone grows rich at the expense of others. Thomas Sowell has written well of this topic and I like his perspectives on the matter. Milton Friedman his PhD advisor is fun to watch too on YouTube.

Some Uncommon Knowledge video of Thomas Sowell makes an interesting point about how the real question is not to ask why people are poor, that's the default position he claims. The real question to ask is why is there wealth in the first place.
