deepc4lifeon A society that runs on stimulants is badly broken

So the article should be about how we are an addicted society to accurately capture the essence. You can be addicted to anything - good or bad or indifferent. And that's definitely the culture...

I guess I am a little bias here too - if my caffeine intake goes near 200 mg for the day then I get shaky. I have a friend who can toe the line at 700-800 mg! Which I read the other day that is the 'danger zone'.

deepc4lifeon Tell HN: PayPal blocks GrapheneOS

All true things. I'm suggesting for the user, who chose to use GrapheneOS - why did they choose GrapheneOS? Many think an OS or doing one thing or another 'protects' them - and they certainly can, but from whom and why? I have a GrapheneOS phone but I would never do any PayPal transaction on it.

I'd hope he did! I hope all of you do to. This isn't information you want so easily publicly available. It's a pretty easy request.

deepc4lifeon Chinese AI Models Overtake American Rivals in Popularity

I see this also being a natural psychological thing too. Chinas population is so much greater and there is pride involved in using "Chinese" made just as there is "American Made" here in America. Obviously the user base is throughout the world, but Im sure nationalistic pride plays a large role here. Any time some subject comes up as China overpassed the U.S. in this or that, it's just like okay they have many times greater the population. Now, if they surpass 200 fold in any venue, then that's some other worrisome problem.
