That’s an idealistic view. The pragmatic one is to turn the page back a few years to Cambridge Analytica. There is a good quote from Zuck testifying to Congress in this article https://www.theguardian.com/technology/201

I strongly dislike this perspective and find it naive. It is similar to saying Mac is more secure than Windows. WhatsApp is a huge target compared to Telegram. I guarantee you if we all switched to Telegram nothing would change, and I would

Plenty of mobile code, especially at large companies like this, rely on a ton of C code. It makes it easier to support features on both Android and iOS. I’m sure there are more benefits I’m not aware of.

No the author has created and maintained many open source projects. I imagine they advocated heavily for this.

The software engineer equivalent of this: there is almost no new pattern it is all just for loops, variables, lambdas, if statements, etc. There are many different kind of designers but they operate at a higher-level. For example: observing

Conveniently leaves out how they were all paid full wage during the pandemic despite the office being shut down. The real story here is that the world is becoming too unaffordable for most people, and it’s going to hurt everyone big time.

You come off as being defensive about this in several of your comments here. There is nothing wrong with admitting that a random “can we chat” can lead to a spike of anxiety in people. Many of us work in environments where 15-20% of employe

I am skeptical about this researcher as it does not mention decreased gut motility and CHS in rare instances.

Actually FB has some wicked privacy tech around their central data store - and are building more. Nuance gets lost in these articles, for example even with proper documentation there are simply too many things for one person to know where d

And on Kiwifarms I can go learn optimal ways to commit suicide, of which several methods involve drugs. Do you think null does KYC do children can’t view that? Doubt it. You are clearly biased.

The internet is a real place, and the smallest amount of information can identify you here. It is a silly proposition to try to force all internet users into total anonymity because they may be doxed by a forum like KF.

Agreed - the papers it references contradict the article. For example the paper concludes that loneliness is experienced nearly equally across all demographics.

This is an uninformed and sexist viewpoint of differences between men and women. Women cry more.. men bottle it up and let it out as a form of aggression usually to people who are no the source of stress. Ask yourself why are men the ones c

This is not true at all. LocalPCGuy made a great comment refuting this. Brain scans also show the unique difference between someone with and without ADHD and what medication does to both brains.

Shared a good article about this below. You can see the bias crop up in the comments here unfortunately. I would say there are as many uninformed opinions on here as there are with people on TikTok self-diagnosing themselves with a mental i

You should try fresh, 30 days, and 60 days. The cafe I worked only adjusted grinds for coffee which was 30 days after the roast date. Allegedly this was decided through many many taste tests.

I’m not sure, Dota has always had this kind of community even in the Warcraft 3 days. It has gotten worse but I think that is due to the popularity rather than the competitiveness.

I’ve tried several light nootropics, superfoods, exercise, mediation, and more. The only thing that has really worked for me is a good diet, exercise, and a good lion’s mane mushroom supplement. I stopped taking the supplement, because the

Do you have this same experience outside of corporate meetings? Sounds like me with ADHD - but as always much introspection and perhaps a good professional diagnosis is the only way to know.

The thing I see missing in the comments is that sourcing hardware over the past few years has been incredibly difficult. It will get better, yes, but that may have been the last straw to convince them to switch.

It is adding gasoline to the fire of extremist right-wingers threatening to harm transgender individuals and others actually doing this. Not to mention that Jordan can be one of many gateways for people to get into this mentality. He should
