In France it’s 500mL and it’s actually called a pint

I don't know if it's so universal. My opinion is rather that most jobs will make your passion become dull.

I knew some airline pilots who loved flying, but didn't feel so much like it after decades.

I got into aerospace engineering because I liked all aspects of it. A couple decades of end-to-end meetings and "TPS reports" later, I'm not as passionate anymore. Some time ago I was excited about solving a practical issue by coding some new tool myself, a year of exchanges with management and IT has made me look forward to move on.

By all measures my company is pretty good in my industry, but the corporate life just has a way of sucking away passion.

You would probably have sold early for a relatively small amount too.

I bought 10ish BTC at some point for almost nothing, sold them for a low 4-digit amount thinking they were stupid anyway. I still think they were stupid but it turns out they could have paid off my house easily. Oh well.

Question is whether you sold all or just a segment. If you bought 100 btc early on, sold 99 of them, you'd still have something worth a deposit for a house or a car now, which is still life-changing.

Or bought btc early on and forgot about it. Then haphazardly attenpting to find it on some old HD when the price skyrocketed.. There was a guy who combed through a trash landfill to recover a HD that presumably had dozens of millions in BTC

Honestly Whatsapp is nothing special. It works well, just like many other chat apps nowadays. The interest is that in some large parts of the world, everyone uses it already.

I routinely have websites force me to put my street number after the street name, when here it's written before.

A lot of people must schedule their day around school hours. You can't decide those.

And yet I guarantee that with permanent DST, they will start pushing school start times later and later in the morning, then they're all right back to where they started.

That is pretty much what I hope will happen here.

Step 1 is to fix the time at any UTC+N. I don't particularly care what n.

Step 2 is adjust all times in society to work with whatever UTC+N we are now stuck with.

I think step 2 will sort itself out, as it has historically. Schools begin at a certain time because of whatever historical reason tied to what timezone we are in. If we change to a different timezone schools should naturally drift towards starting at some other time in the day, unless people for some unrelated reason changed their mind about what s good time for school start would be.

I really only care about fixing the clocks and stop doing the annual changes back and forth. What number should be seen on the clock for specific events during the day, like school starts, can be adjusted later.

I mainly use it to read HN

I just went through all accounts in my password manager, logged in and changed my email. It takes a little while but not that much.

> I don't care about the history.

I've actually been using the Gemini app more because it auto-deletes old history. I like using LLMs without thinking this is going to stick around forever.

Models are relatively interchangeable for day-to-day use anyway.
