Rejection of all conspiracy theories and framing alternative-thinkers (can't think of a better word, but its the same as what's happened to naturopathy) as insane and stupid is intellectually limiting as well as technologically. T

It's not even subtext. The media has been screaming at everyone to trust the experts and defer thinking.

Implying it was ever any different. Some of the scams Sam Altman has been involved with are worse than this.

How much do you make per year? I think 70k is underpaying for truck driving.

So prices are rising rapidly but we're also facing really high inflation everywhere. I'm pretty naive when it comes to the oil boom/bust cycle, but taking in everything where are we now? I'm working in o&g and we&#x2

There's an app available on f-droid called Aurora Store that lets you download apks from the Play Store directly, avoiding the need for stuff like APKMirror (where you don't know where or what happens to the apk you're downlo

Is this cognitive dissonance or can there be real disagreement between "experts"? Just a few weeks ago ACLU said it was unethical and freedom restricting to not get the vaccine. Who do I listen to?

It is about censorship. The Biden admin has repeatedly made it obvious they don't think FB etc are deleting enough and the feds will have to step in soon.

>Just support your friend >JUST well, he is supporting him. Wondering what's going on mentally is part of that. I don't understand why this is even posed as a solution.

Broken env vars had me frustrated for a few days. I've found finding the right docs in elixir to be difficult because they tend to be fairly terse and assume you know where to put things in your application, if that makes sense. They g

you're deferring thinking to an unnamed mystery expert and then arguing on behalf of that unnamed mystery expert as if you know what they'd say. lol, just lol.

Looks like timescale did a big marketing push this morning only for their whole service to go down minutes later. lol.

This line of questioning is pretty silly. Of course your pet cause needs to be solved through legislation immediately.

Mozilla is wasting its limited funding fighting random individual boogeyman rather than develop software that helps protect our freedoms. It's really sad.

These kinds of donation initiatives drive me mad. If they didn't exist, I'd throw these clothes my partner insists on donating in the trash. Why would I send garbage to someone else as a donation??! The fact the donation receivers

Uber the company has higher operating costs, and their service isn't better. The entire value proposition is "cheaper" and always has been.

This is one of the strangest comments here, but you're trying to be rational while breaking down the vast majority of the worldwide population into one of 3 positions? You know most places don't have these mandates and never will?

Nice to see this written out, I've came to the same conclusion just based on the things I read.

The shtick that cancel culture and "the twitter mob" don't even exist is falling apart, because insisting there is no war in ba sing se only works until a critical mass sees the evidence for themselves. Your argument is ridi

Noah you are saying this now but your original apology says the opposite. Which is it?

My impression is he made himself sound worse than he really was.

You can find his original apology here. https://www.hipstersofthecoast.com/2020/06/noah-bradley-admi... Maybe if he wasn't so self-loathing in it the consequences wouldn't have been as extreme. When the

This is cool, the UI and preview reminds me of BB10's IDE for qml... Still miss those days and I still don't understand why we don't have qml for the web.

Yes. People who know how to program in matlab and python, but also have to manually open up excel / csv files need this. Loading up excel is slow, writing a python script where you have to search the docs to find the functions you want

No, the ENS domain is simply an additional layer of rent-seeking. Metamask sign-on is great. ENS is a pointless cash grab.

This has already been solved, its called Public-key cryptography. Ethereum gave everyone a key, but usability issues have stifled making that useful offchain. ENS isn't needed.

Pretty much. The economists created this mess using their magic number science, then look down at the broken scramble and are confused? Assuming rational actors...
