crxgames··on MDMA moves from club drug to real therapy
Bitch all you want, but the legalization process costs money. It has to be made back somehow.

I've been donating to MAPS monthly for years. Those FDA trials were not cheap to run.

You are a gentleman and a scholar!
crxgames··on YouTube’s ‘dislike’ barely works according to new study on recommendations
It's gotten so bad the past couple months. All I get now are maybe 2-3 videos maybe of what I want and everything else is some past shown BS that's not even related or recommendations. They want to become tiktok so bad.

Edit: Add to that the increase in number of ads per video and their length...ugh

That may be a good feature for teams as things progress.

You mean the guy who stole a bunch of people's work for the first iphone jailbreak? Definitely not that guy!
crxgames··on EFF Wins Petition to Inspect and Modify Car Software
I'm a dealer for Holley ECU products. They're fantastic! But you are correct, people in my industry are now forced to tell the modern hot rodder that step one (for the most part) is purchasing a $1200+ computer replacement plus rewiring their car in order to do anything.
crxgames··on Cincinnati Subway
Cool to see my city on HN this morning! They are doing tours of the system again for those interested: https://www.cincymuseum.org/programs/heritage#subway

They are only done a few times a year, but at least it is offered. We also have lots of underground preprohibition brewery tunnel tours as well. There's a lot of old stuff in the city. However, it's only been the last 2 years or so that downtown has slowly been revitalized with life instead of abandoned buildings.

This is ridiculous. I bet they leave Nazi WWII games.
crxgames··on Tell HN: Things I Learned about Credit Bureaus This Week
Some payday lenders already have their own prediction systems in place using scraped public data. The problem that arises is that due to regulation, credit decisions cannot be made based on certain information. I'm sure this varies across sectors of finance though.
crxgames··on I quit working full-time years ago–here’s why I recommend it highly
Coming from a former super introvert, as sad as it may be, drinking is how I finally learned to be social. It totally forces you to meet and interact with people you otherwise would not. However, I still have my days where I'm 100% done with all of humanity. But, who doesn't?
crxgames··on 25% of Cars Cause 90% of Automobile Air Pollution
Indeed. That is why I specifically stated on high performance cars. High performance turbo cars, for example, at WOT generally aim for 11.2-11.8 (pending tuner preference etc etc, but ballpark) AFRs.

GDI cars have the capability of going extremely lean under highway speeds to drastically increase mpg and decrease emissions. This is the beauty of GDI.

Indeed. That is what I meant, but alas that is not what my brain wanted to type.

These "badly tuned" cars could also have worn out valve seals/piston rings which can cause excess amounts of oil to burn during combustion, adding to the chemicals spewing out the exhaust.
crxgames··on 25% of Cars Cause 90% of Automobile Air Pollution
Badly tuned generally refers to incorrect AFR (air-fuel ratios). These can not only cause lower power, but increase the amount of unburned fuel and other chemicals in the exhaust.

On some high performance cars you can even go as far as using the fuel's injection to cool combustion and decrease knock in the combustion cycle of the engine...sometimes this can lead to a richer AFR (more fuel in exhaust gases) which causes pollution.

crxgames··on Websites Prep for Google’s ‘Mobilegeddon’
This should play out in an interesting way. There's a lot of niche ecommerce opportunities that are about to open up if this turns out to be as bad as penguin...

I'd be interested in it.

I owned a dual 66mhz back a few years ago. Hands down the coolest piece of computing hardware I've ever purchased. I regret selling it at least once a month. I will never find another one.

It still blows my mind how good the OS was. Could deadlock the entire system, but I'll be damned if your CD was going to stop playing perfectly. Not even a skip.

crxgames··on Make Money Online: Documenting 10 Years of Failure
It's not necessarily that, but do not get me wrong for a lot of people it is. Depending on who you are with, sometimes it is more about the fun. IMO it really depends on the person/crowd.

I own an automotive business and it is amazing how much networking goes on at SEMA after parties every year in Vegas. It's really truly depends on the person and who you are with.

I would be pretty interested in something like that too.

I completely agree. I've had the opportunity to meet the man and despite his appearance and unique personality, we need his philosophy on many topics shoved into the forefront of the media fairly often.

Some of this data is readily available in the user-agent string. The other does require some JS execution and sending the results back though. Check this out: https://valve.github.io/fingerprintjs/
