Can anyone give me a sense of how much load time this will really save? How much friction is too much?

It absolutely does affect me for disproportionately fraudulent activity to exist on the same system I use for routine payments. I don’t want to subsidize cc abusers with the cc processing fees I implicitly pay.

Because those sectors are particularly difficult for processors in terms of fraud and abuse. If your niche is so disproportionately problematic that cc companies don’t think it’s worth it to try to make money off you, then you should find a

this is exactly what you can’t do as an amateur though. You don’t know enough context to provide your relevant circumstances.

Can you point me to something I can read that spells out the > almost entirely synthetic data thing?

Did you include location metadata with the photos by chance? I’m pretty surprised by these results.

One glaring defect in our collective ability to think critically about blockchain is that many have invested in it, making it extremely difficult to be objective.

Are there a lot of examples written out of people talking through running that algorithm? I’d guess not.

The framing of these rules really hide the ball and lend themselves to cargo culting. Have a written agenda before the meeting BECAUSE you know exactly what it’s about when you are scheduling it and you want each participant to know their p

Enforcing bans strikes me as a revenue generator, no?

After I posted, I wished I hadn’t added the car metaphor. You’re right that it doesn’t map to the body well. That said, it’s still true that most of what food is doing is fueling activity and not replacing parts of the body. Carbs work real

This doesn’t pass a basic sniff test. We mostly don’t eat food to replace our physical form. We mostly eat food to fuel the processes of our physical form. Big difference. Like trying to put steel, rubber, and plastic into a car’s gas tank.

isn’t the grid a bad screen saver?

Hilarious that the TWOW is the least likely of your bunch.

Crazy how wrong people were in the top 2024 comments.

Weird to lump in poor people with people with tax advantaged assets. Poor people generally take the standard deduction, so don’t interact with most loopholes or tax breaks.

It’s been enough time now that we should really have a handful of very clear use cases, but we just don’t.

So given that you are only experiencing negative effects of quitting, do you think you'll start drinking alcohol/caffeine again? I'm finishing a 3 month period of not drinking after two or so decades of moderate to heavy drin

Running for 30 minutes is maybe 200-400 calories. If you trigger your body to eat more because of that or you are more lazy throughout the day because you’re tired after running, it’s a wash. Exercise is not the route to weight loss. It’s l

Seems like all the incentives have been in place for us to have already maximized food addictiveness. We have to at least be pretty far up the S curve. I’d guess just the opposite actually, that companies will refocus on the healthfulness o

Just after they release a movie, you can read the whole plot on wikipedia for free! Don’t pay to see a movie.

This kind of conspiracy theory mindset really just doesn’t stand up to any scrutiny. Every keyboard manufacturer is going to build this in without anyone ever giving away the secret? How many people have to be in on the secret for this to w

Mortgage interest and state income taxes can easily get you well over the standard deduction for single people.

What was happening 30 years ago? I would have guessed the online filing stuff and advertising based on "free" was much more recent?

In the end I just dont care about being ethical to these companies. It’s like screwing over my drug dealer.

This sounds nice, but headlines like “Suicide Rates Among U.S. Adolescents Doubled in 10 Years”( https://www.usnews.com/news/health-news/articles/2023-05-01/... ) give pause.

i’d strongly prefer a sales tax to the high income tax, especially given how much tourism we have.
