These are pretty interesting talks but they very much feel like just random talks from any conference? Interesting but I have no way to apply them if I wasn't writing a tool for developers. edit: On another level I am put off by their

Counterpoint to that would be that no matter how interesting other people's lives may be, mine is still special because it's the only viewpoint I can actually have (before you hippies come at me I've done enough LSD and medit

The fact that so many people on HN dislike this proves hacker culture died in programming..

That's an improvement. It changes the risk profile from "company whose security practices you have no clue about getting hacked" to "one of my personal devices getting infected with malware", which you can at least

Do you live in America? Supplements tend to be much stronger there. Here in Germany at the local pharmacy you will mostly find in the 10mg-30mg range. I've bought and drank them before to no ill effect, which is why I even started this
