I only use Prime on free trial, mainly because I don't purchase enough to justify the price. I've noted non Prime shipping is almost as fast as shipping, maybe a day later. I can wait.

Don't we technically still have the non-hinternet in the Darknet/Tor? I've been there a super long time ago and I don't remember it being any better.

I'm convinced the neurology of these people is setup in a way that they feel physically rewarded from combing through random hoarded stuff to find what they are looking for vs organizing things. It would make for an interesting scienti

This argument has never made any sense to me. Once you get past 30-40 tabs, all that appears on screen is just a series of icons, and repeating icons at that as most tab hoarders I've seen from screen sharing have multiple tabs of the

Yep, I know. Some of the configuration can be quite squirrely.

People like the new stuff because it gives them something to talk about. Other than that, I agree with you, there's virtually and infinite amout of content if you start looking at older media.

Pia is great. Got it mainly because of the wireguard support. It's much faster than ovpn.

It still is quite a hazel. I find new issues popping up at least once a year that requires technical know how to resolve. The average person isn't going anywhere near that beside a simple torrent setup.

The recent Max UI revamp was awful and completely unnecessary. It looks worse and I personally find it harder to find what I'm looking for.

I wonder what's worse for the battery, constantly getting the battery down to 5% and charging it back it to 80%, or letting it go up to 100% and never letting it drop under say 20%.

Same having to enter in a CC for a trial is a major deterrent for me as well because I also have to remember to cancel it if I don't like the service.

Techno-supremacy is based on economies of scale and monopolies. It stands to reason a few massive players would emerge and they would have a lot of power. They can not only buy out the politicians, but do so in such a fashion that no one el

I would think Python at the top of the list since it's syntax is very minimal. Just autoformat the tabbing.

If they didn't moderate aggressively, they would probably end up with a bunch of duplicate questions. I really like the fact there's not a ton of dups on SO. ie, see other help sites. They also have a high standard for those quest

Awesome. As someone who is bilingual, it made traveling through South America so much easier. Stay away from that Chilean Spanish though, lol. Those that have tried ordering food there will know what I mean. Too many of their nouns are comp

Never underestimate the allure of status symbols. For the longest time I thought the same thing of the iPhone. Why would people spend so much when they can get Android for considerably cheaper ? It's the status stupid. Of course, now t

Could be that parents who are able to homeschool have the financial means to not have to work. Kids from affluent places tend to do better relative to those with lesser means. Solving this is very challenging, but there are clear correlatio

I think Apple will last 100 years. See their latest AR product. They continue to create amazing products that are relevant to the masses.

Not if they pass that sweet sweet regulation. It's sure to start adding additional expenses to start-ups.

The issue I see here is that being a contrarian is not enough. In order to drive change, one must also have influence. It doesn't matter how good a design is if others are not quick to agree with it.

The only Autopay that has bitten me are the Wells Fargo credit cards. For some reason, the first payment has to be manually made, even after signing up for Autopay. Ever since then, I always manually make the first payment of at least the m

Am I the only one using Autopay to stave off late fees in otherwise maxed out 18-21 month interest free credit cards (ie, "free" money), then paying them off in full before that grace period ends?

In other words, water is wet and people who are financially illiterate/irreponsible will continue making bad financial choices, no matter what tools are available to help aid them.

Sure, but at some point it will be asked to solve those problems and if it's not properly built, could easily arrive at that conclusion from a problem solving perspective. Self interest doesn't have to come into play at all here.

I'm not poly, but if I had to guess, the resurgence of that is the pendulum swinging back the other way against how atomized social media has made us. Many people, myself included, don't many or any friends. Poly is one way of clo

It would probably be the simplest solution to a naive super intelligent agi. Just take a look at how humanity dealt with dangerous animals. They are mostly no longer around unless in a zoo.
