You do know that his 40hours a week was a dramatic reduction in working hours compared to the norm at that time?

Once upon a time Google used few and non-intrusive ads. The ads were soo well-placed and relevant, that they almost seemed like a service to the user, rather than being forced upon you. Some of us even added exceptions for Google ads in our ad blockers, so we would not miss out.

I miss those days.

We go outside because it is too hot to stay inside.

At some point this will happen with plastics too. Soo much plastic is ending up in nature, with soo much energy ready for the taking. When one fungus or bacteria mutates just right to munch on that feast of plastic, that vast energy source will ensure that organism multiplies rapidly.

And that is when plastic stops beeing useful for many of the tasks we humans use it for. If your plastic container decomposes as rapidly as a cardboard box, it will quickly become much less usefull.

I want to feel like what I do matters, otherwise I become frustrated and feel bad. My basic drive for curiosity is very strong, and I need to learn new things and do something that has some sort of meaning.

Being paid to do nothing is soo frustrating, I feel like I am wasting what little time I have here on earth.

Several countries have this, across device types. It works great.

It is time to rename the company. OpenAI is not open anymore, and has not been for a while now.

Maybe because most mammals don't menstruate. Only humans and a few others do, like bats and some apes.

Another option to decrease spending is to increase taxes. That would of cause target the rich more, whereas increasing the interest rates is usually a benefit for the rich and hurts everyone else.

No wonder why increasing taxes instead of interest rates are never discussed to tackle inflation.

The mental health institution helps by taking you out of your everyday problems. They provide a safe simple environment, where all you have to focus on is yourself and your mental health.

In a way it is putting all the problems outside of yourself on pause, so you can focus on your mental health.

I agree, it is much more clear. I do like Free also, but it is confusing in English.
