I use WebKit because it’s good enough and syncs passwords across iOS and multiple macs seamlessly and without a bullshit subscription for a password manager.

You only have to look at pro racing to know it’s not common that tyres explode at high speed. Other bad things happen! But tyres only really go on descents when rim brakes melt carbon rims. That’s why many riders used alloy rims in mountain

Do you mean condoms? Because while effective (and often appropriate… I am not dissing condoms) they definitely are a partial impediment to good sex.

Immunosuppressive drugs are incredibly crude and broad brush.

It's also a problem that not drinking at all is a leading indicator that you are already sick (i.e. you stop drinking because you can't tolerate it, but you can't tolerate it because something is wrong which is not yet diagno

I had one of these and while it was awful to think about, the sensation was actually minimal. I wouldn’t hesitate in future…

Except that it's really only the US and various dysfunctional democracies like Brazil that have this problem. In large parts of Northern Europe this is/has been a reasonable consensus about what should be done and the impact of Co

I just don't think that's true. Some people scrupulously pay taxes, but others don't and push the line as hard as possible. There's real variation in people's willingness to 'defect' from the public good.

> photos created at the Sun's core take ~30,000 years to escape I’m guessing you meant photons but this still seems amazing. Is there somewhere I can find out more about that?

I think people are able to segment moral behaviours very effectively. Uber’S ride allocation system would be very far down the list of things I would feel bad about gaming.

i guess that would also be interesting because the tradition connects us to the past. I wonder if it would be as tactile though… perhaps it’s a more cerebral type of connection, rather than the visceral appeal of something worn and weathere

I think where the maintenance is continuous that has a different quality. Places in Japan are often like this - yes everything has been replaced, but primary timbers etc have not … there is continuity. I think there is a strong analogy to p

I will! I don’t think they should leave it ruined, but something was definitely lost in the fire. Like a post above said, I do take please and feel connection by looking at a makers mark or accidental slip of the chisel in something built 1

This is wonderfully North American. I would judge countries like France, Germany much more successful than the US because they still have functioning political and cultural life. Those are only things that can survive if individual financia

What problem is it solving for people? Especially people who are going to disproportionately suffer the impact of climate change (ie poor people)?

I agree with you but perhaps explain why. Taking pleasure in things we use seems healthy, but fast fashion etc and general consumer culture in the west seem psychologically suboptimal and are environmentally disastrous.

This is easy to say, but it’s clear from decades of cognitive science that people find it extremely hard to avoid the affordances and incentives in their environment. Blaming the victims of a concerted corporate and political effort to con

We should tackle this from the other end though. That there are children so abused and isolated whilst ignored by society is shameful. We need solutions that treat children as humans rather than a product or contraband.

I don’t agree with apples approach. But it’s worth being clear that the hash scanning they propose doesn’t fundamentally break e2e, except for files which match the hash. Yes it might be possible to adversarially create collisions, but that
