It should be incumbent on Honey to check if these discounts are indeed public. 100% discounts would be an obvious place to start. Given that Honey claims to search the public internet for discounts according to their claims they can in fact

I disagree that it’s down to the individuals. While individuals can throw themselves into the gears of the machine it is understandable why they do not. I see things in terms of a sharecropping analogy, feudal lords (corrupted government) a

They do crowdsource discount codes from other users which is how you get internal discount codes used for testers leaked to other users. I think this is a facilitation of theft, though the theft is hidden to the user so the user does not po

The bad pushes out the good until you’re only left with bad. A system that tolerates bad actors like this will in time only have bad actors. It’s tolerated because it makes a large amount of money for a small number of people.

Well clearly absolute staffing numbers would work, but I would go by absolute money spent. I think it's ironically reductive to simplify a complex problem to a general problem of complexity. I'm not sure what your point is, we app

The US should not be used as an example of a small government. Some people in the US may profess to wanting a small government, but they definitely don’t have one. Haven’t run the numbers but I would suspect the US government is the largest

I did wonder if cheap and ubiquitous casual DNA sequencing could tilt things in the phages favor. So perhaps it’s a matter of time. But beyond that I don’t know the tradeoffs beyond a few YouTube videos.

I think it's important to offset the modafinil effects with something like amitriptyline. Taking only a stimulant will exacerbate dysautonomia and you'll be fighting a losing battle against your bodies corrective mechanisms. Low D

Many other countries would help people with opportunistic industrial espionage so there is a distinct advantage to proactively working with their spy agencies. This is not the case in the West, there is still industrial espionage but it&#x2

Modafinil 100mg morning and Amitriptyline 75mg at night helps with dysautonomia, though modafinil can exacerbate gut issues. Using weaker ligands helps with working with the natural cycles of the body instead of against it. Low Dose Naltrex

I’ve procured substantial quantities of gray market (not illegal yet) medication ‘for research purposes’ and can probably safely say that it has indeed saved my life. While the medication was purchased the protocol was of my own design. Lik

It’s the J.J. Abrams misery box storytelling that ruined most TV shows / movies for me. Turning lazy writing from a vice into a virtue. Many shows now feel like they’re actively and intentionally wasting my time, ironically curing me o

Oh that explains it, I thought it was just when I came of age. I did become suspicious that perhaps it wasn’t just a personal bias when I noticed the same movies on lists made by very different age groups.

There is zero chance AlphaGo devs forgot about discounting. Usually you relax the discount to allow for optimal play, most likely the fitness function flailed a bit in the long tail.

Future payoffs are almost always discounted, even if for no other reason than the future has a greater deal of uncertainty. I.e even if it was not explicit which it almost always is, it would still be implicit. Their conservative style is u

There is a survivorship bias on the people giving advice. Lots of people die for reason X then the world moves on without them.

I worked applied research at a few very big companies and did have a measured amount of success getting some advanced tech adopted so I know what it takes to move the needle. My lesson, and one I wish I learned sooner, was that the effort w

Unless there is something I'm missing, the sun still shines from the same direction regardless of the cloud coverage so I'm not sure how having panels pointing in other directions could improve the matter. Perhaps there is a case

That sounds like post facto rationalization, sour grapes, and perhaps a bit of learned helplessness. To paraphrase you ‘We can’t have nice things because nice things are in reality bad and unrealistic. People who do have nice things are not

If only the highest skill devs could quickly learn new projects then they are no longer interchangeable. Your sampling of solo devs could very well be biased, similarly so could my sampling. Not working on a big ball of mud is a massive per

I wonder how much of catering to the lowest common denominator / being a team player is an internalizing of corporatisms reduction of the worker to a fungible interchangeable cog. As a solo dev it is a massive advantage to use sophisti

Not even close on the biggest scam in human history, AFAIK their peak revenue was < $10B which wouldn't edge out binary auction scams which are over $10B p.a. And that's an example of a pure scam - how much of modern healthcare

As others were wondering why Bill Gates didn’t step up I figured I should point out, like you did, that wealthy people often have their reputation managed and are often not the people they are widely thought to be.

That would give people time to leave, this is a gouging from people who are forced to pay because it takes them a long time to engineer around it. You cant repeatedly gouge them so better make it count.

Some people are hypermobile and no amount of strength training will fix that. After many years of trying to get various types of ergonomic chairs and standing desks to work I eventually gave up and got a reclining chair.

I don’t think it was about stupidity it was about desire, they would not want to come here because it’s just talking to other nerds on bbs. But bandwidth increased and porn and flash games opened the floodgates. I guess the mistake was that
