do any of you remember gamasutra

teens experience more adversity now than before. social and existential adversity.

edison motors

they were impossible to buy

every day i talk to many Venezuelans who are currently living there and also living here working low level jobs… they all say they want him gone. they seem to think that it will solve their problems with running water, poverty and so on. i always silently think that it wont

just because an idea is qualitative doesn't mean its invalid

there are no many nails in the coffin. CSAM. memojies. macos phone home to launch apps. where do i even begin? apple is dead and buried but it will continue to haunt us for decades

calling steve criminal is delusional. there probably isnt a single person let alone developer who ever worked for him who did not end up making lots of money and being well off

i am downgrading to a semi-dumb phone. maps, email, calls and text. thats all you need. unfortunately nobody makes a full keyboard dumb phone anymore

he wouldnt have done it. he doesnt need to be a deity for this to be true

im officially done with apple. they simply don't provide any value. they use their efficient hardware to make their devices thinner instead of having longer battery life… they are anti consumer

i saw an interview with ives recently. he wasnt even close to being qualified for that job. it wasnt even an option

iceland is a weird place. its basically a city

developers deserve less. they were paid way too much especially back then

exactly. the real focus internally is working on new architectures. there is no other possibility.

there should be a guideline to get rid of clickbait titles. its an epidemic here

i have a problem with these kinds of titles. you always see these titles that appear to contradict themselves or baffle people in order to bait people into clicking. the title should be “exposure to language in the womb appears to have lasting impact” or something like that. when i see baffle bait on HN it just makes me feel embarrassed. i think there should be a guideline against it honestly.

im an asshole

i was asking myself what is the point of succeeding if its so late in life. then i wondered what is the point of succeeding young? having a ten year period of not working when you otherwise would be? but business owners and other rich people work harder than most… so the only way to succeed is to not only succeed but make enough to stop working? i just dont understand what im chasing anymore. the only two clear objectives that i can identify are to avoid discomfort unless its deliberate discomfort and to become rich just to prove to myself that i can

why does it turn white then?

when your skin turns pale white your body is screaming for sunlight. it wants sunlight just like your body wants food and makes you hungry. if sunlight were so deadly then everyone would have skin that was pitch black and doesnt change. but we have this insane adaptive system to make sure we are always getting a trickle of UV. why else would we evolve this system if sunlight werent extremely important?

funny how some anecdotes are pounced on by redditors and others are taken at face value

where is the study showing this?

did you taper off? how did it feel?

the biggest benefit was to my sleep and this is true of pretty much everyone who takes it. i was able to have very deep, restful and unbroken sleep. the best sleep of my life. normally i can barely sleep and wake up in the night and do not feel rested. ive been like that since my 20s and nothing touches it besides testosterone. other benefits include much better mood, a tendency to be much more open and likable, tons of energy and motivation behind everything i do and of course being much stronger is also nice. cardiovascular performance, the ability to do cardio heavy tasks and not get winded, massively increased. i loved it. but it made me less calculated and thoughtful which is important for my job so i decided to stop. i will almost certainly start again in the future.

even after stopping i noticed that there seems to be a lot more pressure on my heels when im standing. i think it has a positive effect on my default sympathetic tone or something like that. drawbacks are sleep apnea, hair loss and testicle shrinkage

your body does stop making its own but there is no clear answer as to whether or not your body loses the ability to restart its own endogenous production. thats how new and also ignored/understudied testosterone hrt is… if you wait a fee years there might be new information or biomarkers that can help answer this question.

there are other things you can do to preserve your bodies natural T production. there are medications that induce it but its not been studied for long term use. there is also another hormone you can take called HCG that will cause your body to continue making test but its difficult to use.

i have tried taking testosterone and it had several mind-blowing benefits and i can say with complete confidence that testosterone hrt is actually one of the most effective methods to save or hold together a heterosexual marriage. quite the opposite of what you think. such a shame that hrt is demonized by most people when its test rather than estrogen

there will be cases of cities resisting this by dragging their feet and it will be interesting to see. if a city wants to make it really expensive or dangerous to develop this opportunity then they certainly can. zoning is not the only consideration. and there are other things that elevate the cost of development like overbearing safety and accessibility regulations that are nation-wide. still, if this bill adds hundreds of thousands of units that will take a pretty meaningful bite out of the total shortage

this is people thinking they are dunking on AI skeptics/doomers but in reality not

the common people are cheering on the damage so i wouldnt say it meets the criteria of sabotage. more like enabling it. and yes its unlikely thats why things are so terrible
