It makes sense - they grew up in a time where news was (relatively) reliable/truthful, so perhaps don't have the same "this may not be true" skepticism that younger generations have.

I believe that a small percentage of the population is born neurochemically imbalanced (classic clinical depression), but also that the recent rise in anxiety and depression rates is mainly caused by societal and technological factors.

I completely agree. As Chamath Palihapitiya (ex-Facebook) eloquently puts it, our technology culture is 'ripping apart the social fabric of how society works' [0]. We're social creatures who thrive on human interaction and sh

Some people's brain chemistry makes feeling happiness much more difficult. Some people with clinical depression will physically never experience happiness the same way others do. That's true and valid. But does that really mean th

Very true, that was a bad description of raytracing.

This program utilizes a powerful technique called raymarching , raytracing's big brother. Instead of tracing along each ray in tiny fragments and returning intersections, the ray is 'marched' in larger steps, vastly increasi

You may be able to 'soft prep' by just laying out and running through a basic plan. Where you would go if shit hit the fan, who you would contact, how you would contact them with ISPs/cell towers out, where you would get clea

It seems they are not trying to be the "solution" to shit hitting the fan, they are just trying to be personally prepared for if/when it does.

There definitely needs to be more stringent protocols in place for transferring numbers, but I have to disagree with the 72-hour delay idea - it may hamstring those who are porting numbers for legitimate reasons. For example, I lost my phon

"Bucketing a company as racist" is not the point. The point is that the CEO is the head of, represents, and consequentially speaks for the company. Their personal opinions are reflected in the company's internal and external

This may be an intentional dark pattern / effort to drive users away from the web client and to the official app. Facebook and reddit do the same thing. More permissions = more juicy data to harvest.

You also have to consider that many streamers are playing video games they love to play and casually chatting with friendly fellow nerds. Apples and oranges when compared to grinding out an 8 hour work day. I can definitely see how it could

So true. Our minds don't just influence how we see the world around us - they create the subjective realities which we all inhabit. If you keep telling yourself 'there is no way I can do X', it becomes reality. Empirical ev

Great article for the first ~75%, but why the abrupt transition to a buzzfeed piece on Trump and the lack of conclusion? The author really lost his momentum there..

I agree that LSD is more prone to producing 'freak outs' or acute psychedelic emergencies than mushrooms are, but disagree that having a benzo on hand is 'unnecessary' for mushroom trips - I have seen a couple mushroom e

Great advice. Those magical little rectangles are absolutely essential to have on hand. However I would add that working through a 'bad' trip or 'seriously uncomfortably weird' experience can be the exact opposite of bad

This is a great solution for hacker news types (I run pihole at my home - love it!) but it's not a feasible solution for most people. We need a hard brake on adtech and a restructuring of business models, not a band-aid that only 5% of

On top of the taxes, housing is pretty bad too. You can be a reclusive hermit in southern / central VT on the cheap, but the closer you get to Burlington / Essex Jct the more expensive it gets. This is in part caused by the size o
