Welcome to the dark web. It's terrible here.

As someone who often has anxiety: that anxiety is often irrational.

Extrapolating fears rooted in one environment to another in which there is no danger is: 1) very human 2) irrational.

This already happens. The bots aren't inline as chat messages, but they're contextually aware ads like 'get an uber!'

Regulators must be held accountable for the impact of the incentives they create. Setting those up correctly is their damn job.

A conversation with the author of this piece.

Sexual selection seems like a really interesting case of natural selection having the property of both creating and filling an evolutionary niche.

Through that lens, there's no counterintuitive behavior here, and natural selection isn't being undermined. It's an emergent polarization.

I work at Uber, and the part of it I interact with is a company with smart, driven, collaborative people doing a valuable thing together.

I strongly second this. I got into the habit of consuming lots of caffeine and assuming my anxious state was baseline. Aggressively cutting out coffee was a really interesting and useful experience.

fuck your anger. :)

This article is really good.

They certainly did not say that there was 'gross negligence'. That would have meant a case.

I'm impressed. This is possibly the only article I've seen about 4chan whose author actually understands enough about the discussed subcultures to make interesting analyses.

To quell your suspicion you could download the driver app and take a look at the surge map. The surge values aren't a secret.

you're both taking a miserable but ambiguous situation and trying to make it black and white. that's not really useful.

The language itself is lovely. What parts of cocoa feel essential to you?

that seems arbitrary and at odds with the modern considerations of superior orders

(consider reading the source instead of just trusting it)

No, you as an individual don't 'need' to do that. What does 'need' even mean? Require to survive?

Making societally optimal decisions is a crazy burden to try to put on a single person. As single entities we don't have near the amount of information or power required to act on that impetus with any weight.

Society as a whole needs to establish norms, and perhaps regulations, to ensure it doesn't fall apart. Individuals should consider those norms in their decisions (and fight to make them better). But slapping someone with the responsibility to be a single person acting alone to maximize happiness for their collective is asking them to be impotently act on shoddy heuristics.

the article follows one of the funded parties

yes

> Exploring how chemicals affect your brain is fun if becoming a different person is fun. So don't do it unless you're sure you dislike yourself.

This sentence isn't really logically sound. There are lots of reasons to make a transition from a place of satisfaction to a place of uncertain satisfaction. Happy people often explore!

Aside, 'Becoming a different person' implies a large amount of permanence. I'd really enjoy seeing this assertion sourced. Especially with regards to one-time or infrequent use of psychedelics. Could you point me to anything you've found particularly convincing?

You're right, it was intended to be read humorously.

The argument I alluded to is that there is an internally consistent viewpoint in which the government action at hand is genuinely corrupt and supporting crony capitalism. In this worldview, one that I think there's a strong chance that Sunde adheres to, he's not being whiney, he's taking rational actions.

Huh. I don't think I've ever before offended someone else on the internet enough to make them find and wave the shared last name in my face.

The comment is just derision by someone who respects the authority of conventional power and is unsympathetic to someone having a fundamentally different but consistent stance.

;)

this feels like satire.

git diff?

I didn't read it as being directed only as targets.

There's been a general push, among communities suffering harassment, against the notion that vocally calling out malicious actors is 'feeding the trolls' in the traditional exacerbating sense. i.e. standing aside allows further victimization.

Not identifying as a feminist or not being a feminist?

You can identify however you want, but if you're truly not sexist, you're a feminist as far as I can tell.

Lags behind Chrome in general in that AndroidWebview doesn't gets single process Chromium, right?
