   If Apple is tracking IDs how is that not anti-privacy? In fact arguably they should implement signed reciepts so they don't have to track which apps you own. As it is they know all the apps you own, and probably even when and how often

   Appearently most research says that many, even most people claim to want to not interact with anyone but when they actually test them they're happier when interacting. This apparenrtly comes up in research on all the ways we've go

   I noticed recently in the USA places like Walgreens you can see a doctor for colds. That seems like a great idea to me. I guess that's similar in Thailand and maybe Malaysia.

   In the USA, at least in my experience. If I have a cold I still had to make an appointment which would be 2 to 3 days later. I got around this by joining a doctor in a clinic and they'd let me see any doctor if my doctor wasn't av

   I suppose though I pay $18 to go to the movies and they show me 5-10 minutes of ads followed but another 5-10 minutes of trailers. I generally look forward to the trailers but the ads drive me nuts given I paid (guess I should stop going) D

   I guess different strokes for differnet folks. Games that put me in another world in VR at some level kind of ruined similar non VR games for me. Like I just bought No Man's Sky since they added VR. I thought I'd only play it for

   > 10 days of not talking to anyone This sounds like the opposite of all happiness research which seems to suggest that interacting face to face with people is the most strongly correltated activity to happiness. Thoughts?

    Analyse LastPass. Even without ML it's clearly saying they spy on everything you do and share it with anyone they want. I'm surprised they get recommended so often given their privacy policy. https://www.logmeininc.com&

    Drinking the same amount of OJ will also make you fat. If OJ is too tart choose another type of orange like mandarin oranges. They're just as cancerous to rats and you can drink them like fruit punch as they are not tart. The point is

    Is that true? I'd only guess there are more cameras in Times Square than Wastingtion Square in NYC. I don't know how you would divide most cities into areas of uniform camera coverage such that totaling one area is representative

    There's a lot of comparing apples to oranges 3. Shanghai, China – 2,985,984 cameras for 26,317,104 people = 113.46 cameras per 1,000 people 76. Tokyo, Japan - 24,500 cameras for 37,435,191 people = 0.65 cameras per 1,000 people Well, f

    My life was better IMO when it was common to call people. We had conventions like voice mail if you were on another call, or saying "now is not a good time" but I talked to way more people. I mean I fully agree with your assessmen
