That's a different matter that wasn't mentioned though. Where I live (continental Europe) I've never seen any kind of medication as a bottle, but I'm also not aware of there being an amount restriction on paracetamol, wh

I am familiar enough with the numbers that I am not necessarily surprised , but I still find it emotionally hard to grok that more than one in five would-be paracetamol suicide victims would be dissuaded by having to pop the pills out of a

I understand it's just rhetorics, but I am amused by the idea of some ISP managers considering themselves "the elites".

That seems like a leaky implementation detail to me, for a published piece.

Would you like me to give an unsolicited read on what you look like and which developmental disorders you might have also?

No, my position is not any of these things you just decided to attribute to me. Allowing people to make alternate accounts has been the status quo on the internet since time immemorial, if only because it's currently not preventable. F

6% of a standard deviation sounds like very little to me, but it's hard for me to grok what that actually means.

And, of course, a dog that runs behind a car will get exhausted, but a dog that runs in front of a car will get tired.

There's lots of building blocks for decentralized data storage and transmission, but that by itself is not enough to build a fully decentralized, self-funding application. With blockchain/smart contract tech you can build an app t

Well that was shit. Most questions have answer options that look like: A) I just do what's best B) Here's what I think my professor wants to hear C) Here's a non-sequitur soundbite I pulled from LinkedIn (not always meaningfu

What's the status on cryptocurrency tech and ecosystem right now actually? I did some work in that area some years back but found all the tooling tobe in an abysmal state that didn't allow for non-finance applications to be anyth

I wouldn't know what LinkedIn rewards, because they banned me the day after making my account for no stated reason and then rejected my appeal. I just complied with their request to see my passport for the third time earlier today. I s

Its failures only make me appreciate the weird HN title changing bot more. A ton of labor must go into manually tweaking titles all the time to make it work for what I'm sure is a strongly felt but ultimately very immaterial benefit

I do find it more noble to pursue degradation of the user experience for its own sake, but we do live in a capitalist society.

Thank you for what you do. I have zero use for Anubis nor have I personally encountered the problem it's meant to solve, but I'll readily support the girl, she is very cute. Never listen to the blisteringly lukewarm takes of the c

I don't feel you're right? I'm pretty sure that Germany experienced the same 80s anime boom that was felt in other parts of Europe too, and DoKomi (German anime convention) pulls ~180,000 people, very close to overtaking Comi

I don't think this kind of discourse helps and I don't agree with the point. I am vehemently against chat control, but at least in my country (Netherlands) I saw nothing beyond the pale re: covid measures given the situation. I al
