Their words
This concept is still alive in present-day Japan, where cherry blossoms are viewed with the bittersweet knowledge that their beauty lasts only for a short while.

The current tech layoffs are pandemic over-hiring correcting itself, with AI as the convenient excuse.Their words
And I think what we're seeing right now with some of the layoffs is a testament to that, not AI. It's just that during the pandemic, a bunch of overhiring went on, and now AI is a convenient excuse to slim down. But I do also think AI is going to expose some roles as just not being productive ways for humans to spend their time, and therefore we must come up with new ways of spending their time.

A lack of money is a convenient thing to blame because it feels concrete, but it's rarely the actual blocker for achievements.

And so it's like I mean getting into Eli Goldrat and the goal is like optimizing for utilization and efficiency of one node in your factory rather than the end to end goal of like how do we ship value and things that people like that are stable and like will last a long time. But that's my idea of token harder

Not having that cumbersome keypad eat up the space and pushing the mouse location further right is so convenient, it surpasses the 101/102-key version.

A good idea often fails to spread not for lack of merit but because no convenient way exists to implement it.Their words
Sometimes, a good idea doesn't get traction because there isn't a convenient way to implement it.

So if you find yourself generating the same blocks of code over and over, even though it feels fast or convenient, it is still insane.

Spurcycle carabinerTheir words
Very secure and convenient, and has a bottle opener which is really effective and one of the most unintuitive devices I've ever found: zero people have used it correctly on the first try.

Hawbuck walletTheir words
A Hawbuck wallet. I still use cash, so no aluminum thingy or phone add-on in place of a wallet. It's not made of animals, lightweight, lasts a long time, not that expensive, a perfect wallet.

The watch's battery lasts a long time, it doesn't distract me, I don't have my phone notifications piped into it, I love it.

And so none of that my point is that none of the bottlenecks last longer than a couple 2 three years. None of them.

WhoopTheir words
Summarizing all of that into my advice right now: Get Whoop for 9.5/10, reliable, convenient sleep tracking with an excellent app (once you get to know it a bit). Get Oura for 10/10 tracking, if you're ok with the ring form factor.

What is a korrent?
A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at korrents.com.
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said. The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.
About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter, especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked article and a belief on korrents.com are left in their original language.
