Well they’re living in the house, that’s why.

Some people like where they live more than they like money.

Tracking doesn’t really impact my life, I’ve gotta say. Ads do. Does ddg offer a paid option?

Why was the fork necessary? Is the electron project hostile to changes?

You can pay content providers with cash via Brave rather than ad views.

Voluntarily implies some kind of consumer choice beyond “accept my terms or get the fuck off my site”. Not to mention... ads affect us all. You’re delusional if you think it can be neatly packaged into a transaction.

Firefox isn’t doing much to stem the online dependency on ads. We really need an alternative monetization system. The internet is only half functioning if we still require massive corporations to intermediate between us and content provider

How do you scan forward for the interesting stuff? How do you search for a quote a friend sent you? What if you’re deaf? Or blind and can’t read the slides? Just transcribe it and include the slides! If you can afford the speaker you can af

> They are only "forced" if you believe they were originally entitled to live there at a certain price. I’m not opposed to consumer protections here. And not all old things are good. Hell, the oldest human social institutions a

Well, if you’re serious, I can take you to people in Oakland who have been put on the street this month. They’re not terribly hard to find. I’m guessing you’re not. Finally, there is obviously a huge spectrum between free and planned econom

It’s not black and white, so Gandhi is not a pure force for good. Yet, this is often his portrayal, at least in the West. Why judge him as a aggregate? Why not say he was a human who found something new that changed the world. This is hard

Yea, I’m not buying that you need to kick people out of their houses to improve the economy (whatever that means to you...). Employment and gentrification are linked and cause each other. Please, stay away from the terrible cities! Would yo

by drb91 8y ago
This was not the lack of gentrification. This is the effects of unemployment. If a high end sushi bar would “revive” the neighborhood, it would only be because the residents were forced out. So what’s the point? I’d rather care about the pe

Depends on your definiton of bad, I suppose. Care to state what you think is bad? You linked to google maps, from which I can draw a million conclusions, none of them worth devoting effort to responding to without clarification.

On the average, IQ is 100. That is quite heritable. I’m not sure that’s meaningful genetically. Even correlated high IQ across generations can easily be a nuture over nature deal—see the above article for one hypothesis. Finally, even if hi

Yes, let’s gentrify faster.

Sadly, I don’t know of too many rural tech companies. Which is sad, because I would take a fairly ridiculous pay cut to not live in a city.

DNS over HTTPS is still handled at the OS level? Related, it should be possible to have “correct” dns in userland that behaves as you describe sans falling back to the system resolver. In my understanding the whole point of DNS over https i

I hope they add DNS resolution to the network activity tab.

The “claim” the original poster complained about also hedged with the word “could”—it’s in the title ffs. I am really tired of people talking about correlation and causation and completely ignoring carefully hedged phrases. Can we save them

by drb91 8y ago
Suggesting genetics is responsible instead (as opposed to any other variable) is no less pseudoscience. If only we could find some smart parents and get them to deny their kids books, we’d know for sure!

Ironically it doesn’t look like they restrict sending mail in the above quote, only serving it. If that’s a violation, so would be using your browser.

Maybe.... natural predilection is no replacement for experience, though, and reading is a type of experience. Arguably a high quality one. Also, there are obviously countless examples of seemingly intelligent people having kids which aren’t

Why would you expect to not digest something you put in your digestive tract? You do, after all, digest part of that bolt.

Got a citation? Even better, you could put your plastic where your mouth is and try a diet of washed microplastics every meal to see how it affects you. It’s not immoral if you do it to yourself!

Just another reminder, terms of service are bullshit. Most people here likely violate the terms by using ngrok.

Well, you need a use case.

It seems the only thing to fear is cessation of experience. Why bother?

by drb91 8y ago
Seems deeply cynical. Where is this coming from? Death is the only certain part of life. Who can seriously fear it? It's the part that immediately precedes death that scares me.... if I were to get Alzheimers I would rather put a bulle
