Insider trading... but the very people who are supposed to be preventing this are involved in thr same thing all the time.

Thinking is carefully controllef by PR and marketing techniques for profits.

Learning how it is done might make you somewhat immune to it. I highly recommend the following to better understand what is going on:

- Book: Propaganda by Edward Bernays, the father of PR

- Book: The Attention Merchants by Tim Wu

- Article: The Submarine by Paul Graham: http://www.paulgraham.com/submarine.html

Another thing to do is listen to exactly those people who are supposedly "evil", "immoral" or otherwise bad in some way. Think about the political ideology opposite to what you were brought up as... or religious ideology which you were taught was bad. And of course, listen to people who are silenced (set showdead=yes on your profile on HackerNews, for example).

Ava Find - It was a Windows-only file indexing and search software. You could find any files instantly by name and pattern matching. It also had a window with recently changed files which it actively monitored to update indexes.

These days, Windows has good file indexing out of the box... but I still miss the "recently changed files" pane.

You do realize that the "sexual harrasment" allegation is that Musk asked for a handjob from a massage therapist who was already massaging him as he lay naked... and she declined and that was the end of it... right?

Where did you spend time? In the Russian-majority region or in the Ukrainian majority one?

Locals celebrating independence on the streets is propaganda? OK.

You could try to understand what people on the ground think instead of what warmongering media tells you: https://youtu.be/i1I8SZeXGFo

Then, you would understand more what Chomsky is saying.

Back to testing vaccines in poor helpless countries.

In socialism, the best way to cut costs is to kill away those who cost the most to keep around. Isn't killing the poor who are the most expensive to keep around best for everyone else? Isn't that the argument for abortion?

If you don't like the outcome, feel free to adopt a different ideology.

Most higher* animals use fat for energy storage and "lose weight" by fasting. This is a universal fact.

All human cultures with abundant food had fasting as a part of their rituals... except for the modern American one... which then spread everywhere through food industry funded "science".

It's not that fasting is healthy... it's the other way around... eating too much all the time is unhealthy. Fasting is the default.

It's the same hypnotherapy thing using a swinging watch... with rebranding for credibility.

Well, I have interviewed people who I know I will not hire based on the first 5-10 minutes. I schedule 30 minutes for the screening interview so I will still give them that time and be nice to them... with the intention of not giving away why I will not be hiring them. My motive is to not let them know so that they continue the way they are so that people like me are able to avoid them too.

Maybe they could improve if they were aware of the problems, right? No... and even if it was possible to change them, that is not my job. I'd rather hire someone else.

(Not giving away what I look for because I don't want people devising deceitful techniques to get through the screening. If you know, you know.)

Or that certain groups of people survive because the ideologies that they adopt help their group compete with people of other ideologies... and people with successful ideologies are able to convert others from less successful ones.

I'll leave this here: https://youtu.be/rQmqVVmMB3k

Isn't baby formula vestige of the marketing era of "breastfeeding is harmful to kids"?

Why is baby formula use still so widespread? I understand that some women have twins and triplets, some others have health issues... but the use seems way too widespread than that.

I hope this helps a lot of parents who don't need it realize that they don't... and hope some of those who do need it can switch over to cow's milk.

What are the long term effects of the enzyme itself as the environmental toxin? Plastics are not a problem at all since they decompose naturally if you give them enough time. There will barely be any plastic left 500 years after we stop producing new plastic.

- Work laptop

- Personal laptop

- A mini desktop at home as NAS and media server

- A raspberry pi which runs Home Assistant

- I also have more specialized "computers": iPad, Nvidia TV Pro, PS4, PS5, phone, smart TV

They do. You pull the crown out.

Isn't it still better when you can have the second space anywhere you like instead of "the office" which is a fixed location which make take arbitrary commute time?

The encryption key can be on the cloud further encrypted with an "E2E" password. When you add a new device, you just enter the E2E password and all your messages can be seen.

In my experience, Aliexpress takes claims seriously and is on the side of the customer.

Trees are detremental to grassland ecosystems and don't contribute enough to carbon sequestration (assuming that is the goal) as grasslands do.

> because the engineers can reproduce the source code if it’s lost (quite quickly at that)

Does anyone really believe this?

I don't get this at all. Is this supposed to be funny? Is it satire? Is it supposed to be relatable?

Or we don't slave away to maintain another community project and instead impose regulations on these companies to work for us.

If you are a teenage hacker with nothing better to do, sure, spend your time hacking a new OS to run on closed ecosystems. If you are an adult with work and responsibilities, take political action.

125 is Neil deGrasse Tyson level and won't even get you into Mensa. If you think that is smart, well good for you.

Also, Mensa Norway has very similar test when you go to take it in person... and results are close to what you get online.

> Everyone should be able to use normal cryptocurrency wallets for all transactions. Anything else means cryptocurrencies have failed.

Ethereum is designed to replace governments and banks. Use whatever you want as your barter tokens. Nobody cares.

You should re-title this to "Why I never tried Flutter and why I will never know what I missed".

Seems like they are stolen from TikTok channel @loewhaley... or the other way around.

> but their subconscious bias of being white slipped in when designing it

Or they didn't have dark skinned people around them to test it on... and didn't think about why it would not work on darker skins.

By saying "subconscious bias" you're implying that deep down they didn't want it to work for dark skinned people.
