You can keep keep a journal and that's already probably too much information. Who goes back and reads that stuff? What is the point of logging every step you ever too when it doesn't matter in the slightest? I keep track of some details in regards to exercise, but I throw the sheets away at the end. And the values I keep are just to reference how much I am doing and if I should increment. Is there really anything interesting about going back to check on that? Does a big long Apple Watch streak equal a life lived?


For what it's worth, future historians would be pretty happy about it, assuming the information gets preserved that long.


It can be both


Yeah man, how much oil has been burned so far!


Yeah man, how many double spends have happened so far!


I can't tell if you're joking -- but, lots, right?

I came to your profile because of this comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6868488 I want you to know, that years later, it is still useful.


"Ugh it's the woke"


My dog's propensity for diarrhea makes me feel less inclined to state that she has any tolerance for it.


I've known dogs that have lived on very varied diets (including most human food sans poisons like grapes), and other dogs that had very strictly controlled diets because they were sensitive to pretty much anything and everything.

Many breeds of modern dogs are very far removed from the lifestyle and habits of their wild brethren.


Maybe they had internal teams that were working on a new social network app and are now divesting from that (not working on it, not releasing it). Maybe they had a lot of smaller teams who were iterating on the experience to increase engagement, lower friction etc which they will now not pursue etc. "Bloat" is a bit naive that somehow they are just paid to look at the left corner of their office or something. The company built out teams to look into new experiences or to make the experience better and they are going to be doing less of that at least for a while


And you know, we've been poisoning ourselves for a really long time amiright? The industrial age, smog, bpa, micro plastics. THERE IS NO LIMIT TO THE ABUSE WE CAN PUT ON OURSELVES. Woo


This but unironically. Spare me your left-wing progressive snark. Humans thrive despite our propensity for self-harm. Something to celebrate, not criticize.


Conservation and awareness of our natural resources is not a "left-wing progressive" thing. Exhibit A: Ducks Unlimited. A lot of very right-wing hunters contribute millions of dollars every year to preserve natural habitats. They see and understand the impact humans have on the natural environment, and pay good money to preserve those habitats.


That's not the original post's argument and was not my response. Sanctimonious criticizing of the environmental effects of industrialization via sarcasm is absolutely a left-wing progressive thing. It's not clever, it's not cute, and it's not effective at arguing in favor of conservation.


>and it's not effective at arguing in favor of conservation.

"If you don't kiss my ass I'll burn this planet to the ground"

And you wonder why some of us think that humans are on a self destructive path.


No, you’re not this upset over sarcasm; you’re just backtracking.


Backtracking? Because the reply was 100% innacurate? Get lost.


k thanks, so I guess you've studied this for as long as it took to write 129 words on the subject. I am going to have to be way more interested in the actual people who are studying and experimenting with this at this point, I can't allocate any interest at all in your 129 word paper on the subject.


We won the pandemic but blood sacrifice to the market is also good


You really have to respect that Hacker News now has a website offering a free course for working out on its main page. But really I get it, he's worked out in 50 countries and people ask him "how they train in Taiwan or Ecuador." This isn't just a regurgitation of anything you could find in Men's Health. It's new information.
