Offline video games are healthier than social media IMO. They need focus. They leave you feeling rewarded after playing; the ones that don’t aren’t addictive (for me, at least). Either they have some finite (and usually short) content, or t

Knowledge is often as useless. Don’t be deceived by its apparent “worthiness.”

Vote for an independent party (that won’t realistically win). Voting for a party because the other party is bad is a recipe for being exploited.

I am incredulous whenever I see these solutions. Can’t you trivially change your DNS server?

So Uber unbundled expensive edge cases from typical usage. Seems like a win for most people. They can always pay the real price in those edge cases, not socializing it on everyone else. Not to mention that the smartphone online model plus f

The glaring question here is why your native industries don’t patent your native herbs if it’s profitable.

Statistics needs calculus as a prerequisite. Heck, a non-introductory treatment of probabilities needs measure theory.

The proofs can help immensely in remembering theorems and knowing their needed assumptions and application area. Mainstream math education is also already light on difficult proofs in introductory (undergraduate) texts. You can always skip

The problem is not that these people aren’t smart. It’s a good bet that they are. The problem is that they aren’t sufficiently benevolent. Their narratives are fundamentally optimized to benefit themselves first, and then others. Free speec

These companies want the liability. That would kill all their nascent competitors for good.

The kind of “data-rich” org file you don’t like would presumably be impossible in markdown. So what are you gaining at all? Just don’t write such data-rich org files. That’s totally under your own control.

It could be a deceptive signal, then. Condemning this invasion is cheap if it allows Putin to hold onto such a strategic espionage/supply chain attack vector.

The EU could have used some nuclear power alternative. But not depending on war-mingering dictatorships is not as important for them as the possible consequences of a nuclear plant going wrong.

The EU’s the weakest of the powerful. I don’t think that’s not related to its more … progressive ideals.

“Sincerely” is a deceptive word for such entrenched positions. People actively self-deceive (by, e.g., choosing their media sources) to beliefs that they think are personally beneficial.

Take the SE; Small phones like that that have decent hardware are very few, almost non-existent. (Especially the original SE; Even iPhone Mini is not that compact.) The industry is heavily monopolized, and the regulations are outdated.

Your suggestion might increase the costs so much that we will simply not have such free services. It’s best to limit expert support to actual purchases (like ebooks, apps, etc.) and services that have explicit guarantees.
