Anecdotally, I make sure I live near work and our kids school. We drive at most once per week, sometimes just fortnightly. We live 5km from the CBD of Brisbane Australia. We walk everywhere. Typical step count is 6500/day and I work from home full time. My wife walks to and from work most days. I find the idea of working to pay for transport to get to work very counterproductive. The idea anyone also then pays for gym membership and then just does basic exercises like walking on a treadmill also illogical. But lots of people do that kind of shit like it's perfectly normal.

Definitely agree, call centre staff seems like a no brainer too.

Really surprised not to see those in this list.

TV has clear content ratings and has no comments section where kids can interact with anyone and everyone. Hardly comparable.

Smart connected anything needs some level of consumer regulations to protect consumers from this stuff. At end of life/support by the vendor, they should be forced to enable full local or and third party unlock. Ideally some level of open sourcing.

When you look at the rate of small business buyouts that end up being trashed under the new larger ownership, it boggles the mind that these big companies don't just spin out the smaller company again rather than basically drain the customers and close down the old name and products. Seems kind of dumb, and really would be great to see stories like this happen much more often.

This is why they take and store blood samples, when new tests are developed that identify what is was cutting edge doping, they can retest prior winners to identify past cheats. This is exactly what happened to Lance Armstrong.

For a second there it seemed like you were comparing weather to climate.

Poe's Law applies

Set theory and logic sound academic, but theyâ(TM)re the backbone of stuff weâ(TM)ve all done for years - set theory is just dealing with groups of things (like user lists, IP ranges, database rows), and logic is the true/false reasoning behind conditionals (if, and, or, not). Youâ(TM)ve used these every time you wrote a filter, a query, a firewall rule, or debugged a script. Understanding them helps you think clearly, spot inconsistencies, and model complex problems, which are all crucial skills - especially in a world where AI might do the typing, but you still need to ask the right questions

I found set theory and logic highly applicable to programming and many other areas. Probably good to understand discrete mathematics and overall algebra and logarithms. In sure there is a lot more to pack in, but it's a good foundation.

Yes. Because "far to the left" is actually just moving towards the centre when you're that far to the right. USA fails it's people in so many ways. It's not a poster child to model yourself on.

I said what I said.

Acting like a company with fiduciary responsibility to shareholders and not strategic long term plans. They're going to fail more.
