People vastly underestimate the influence of chronic illness when it comes to adverse living situations

When you’re struggling to be productive and work due to health reasons, society treats you like trash, and often won’t give you the support you need. And this is a lot more common than people are willing to admit

I’m surprised everyone having laptops and using them for school isn’t standard. It’s been standard when I was in school here in Norway a decade ago

Prohibition would not have removed drinking. Maybe it would have reduced it, but it would have made the current drug problem 3x worse, and given a lot more money to organized crime. The US probably would have been in a worse place overall

Drinking and driving is a problem though, and that being lessened would have been a good thing. But then again, you don’t need to ban alcohol to solve that problem. Introduce actual and functioning public transport

I mean, small things like that add up, you want your stack as optimized as possible

A quarter of a second here, another quarter there, and suddenly it might take 2 seconds longer for a connection to form, which matters a ton. A lot of work in the modern web is going into reducing latency
