> I think I understand what it's trying to do. It's appifying the WWW on Google's domain and allowing them to dictate how sites are monetized. On the most basic level, it isn't motivated by speed.

If you do some calorie restriction, raw cabbage will probably be filling. I've been doing it for two years and vegetables are very filling under the right conditions. I think it's worth eating some cruciferous vegetables raw for a

I think calorie restriction is a more interesting idea, because it forces you to think about eating high-nutrient foods. The first things I did were to eliminate sugars and other processed ingredients, including all flours. Continuing to ea

This might sound strange, but if I focus on a point about a foot in front of my eyes and hold it there while breathing slowly, I'll often fall asleep quickly. I don't know exactly how to describe it. It's something like proje

I wish people would stop using Medium, especially for programming blogs. The UI is terrible (footer bar, animated pop-ups, monoculture design, paywalls), and I don't like landing on Medium sites. Publishing on the Web is supposed to be

I'm not sure if that's exactly it. It isn't quite coercion. Facebook's tone and methods of communication often seem more like a manipulative but charming narcissist who is insidiously trying to rearrange your reality. Yo

I'm not sure what other term to use. Whenever that site communicated with me I got the impression that I was talking with a manipulative gaslighter. It doesn't necessarily result in one questioning their own sanity, but it's

The company is rotten to its foundations. Even the core mission is a terrible idea. Connecting all the world's people already exists -- it's called the WWW. Every time Facebook, the company, communicated with me, I felt like I was

I've been experimenting with it for two years, along with a high-nutrient diet based on vegetables (almost no refined foods). I just did about two weeks at 1,000 calories per day and am on day 3 of a water fast. I'll increase the
