Passionate irrationality - religious, political or of any kind - often poses serious obstacles to human betterment.

I converted from Loom to @NeetoHQ. If you’ve ever done anything with me … you know how much that means.

It’s got a whole suite of tools that are about to replace my stack. Calendly is next. Then probably Notion, Typeform, and more. They’re like $2–$5.

Docker Bake uses a manifest file (in HCL, JSON, or YAML) containing all necessary information. Bake enables parallel building of multiple images, decreasing overall build time.

[Unni @unnitallman]

Docker Bake streamlines the process of building and pushing images, particularly beneficial when dealing with multiple platforms, versions, and images in a single project.

4. Schedule padding adds extra time to flights, improving on-time performance ratings and reducing cancelled flights, benefiting both airlines and passengers.

Commercial airliners have slowed down compared to 1970s. This happened while the ground transportation is pushing the speed limits everyday. Isn't this counter intuitive?

2. Air traffic congestion necessitates controlled approaches, sometimes requiring planes to fly slower or take longer routes.

3. The rise of budget airlines prioritizes operational efficiency over speed

To keep your mind sharp, focus on deep attention and intentional reflection instead of chasing constant novelty. This helps preserve vital skills like focus, memory, and creativity.

[Unni @unnitallman]

The attention economy monetizes every second of gaze. It has significant implications.
• Productivity and creativity suffer due to unsustainable focus.
• This potentially impacts citizens’ ability to tackle complex societal issues.

Memes, as tiny packets of information spreading at light speed, are reshaping our worldview, language, and values without reflection, reinforcing neural wiring for quick hits of amusement.

Constant dopamine flooding from notifications and social media triggers the brain's ancient reward circuitry, leading to a relentless cycle of seeking reward and causing brain rot and declining attention spans.

The belief that winners deserve their winnings due to equal chances creates a sense of elites looking down on large swaths of the population, fueling polarization and authoritarian populism.

[Unni @unnitallman]

Meritocracy's ideal of success based on individual merit leads to hubris among winners and demoralization among losers, forgetting the role of luck and good fortune in success.

@bOnstine I switched to 1password after using Bitwarden (first self hosted, and later paid). Once the switch was made, I have nearly forgotten that I use a password manager - 1password is seamless in most situations.

Anything that gets the adrenalin moving like a 440 volt blast in a copper bathtub is good for the reflexes and keeps the veins free of cholesterol… but too many adrenaline rushes in short time spans has the same effect on the nervous system as too many electro-shock treatments are said to have on the brain: after a while you start burning out the circuits.

"Non-vegetarian" is an Indian English term and not a universal usage. The term is common in India, but not usual elsewhere.

Ambedkar is an incomparable figure; even ‘God’ is no match.

Ambedkar was real and left an indelible mark on history. He led millions in their fight for basic rights and dignity.

‘God’, on the other hand, is merely a human myth to cope with life’s uncertainty and suffering.
