Not familiar with Connie St Louis. I see a twitter channel by that name. What happened? Curious to read a bit more, any pointers?

Not sure what culture you are from, but in Poland at least I have almost never heard girls (or anyone!) say anything particularly bad of that sort to boys, but I sure have heard said a lot to girls. There's definitely still a strong &#

The point is we've identified gender is used to knock people down a lot, that this particular angle seems to have little basis in fact, and so are trying to make people aware to stop this particular angle. If we find more systematic wa

(X) owners should control data collected by (X) I'd add: at least possess this data, maybe also control (but not necessarily 100% e.g. I would want to be able to say, as the nation-state, that some data must be made available to other

You are happier to have your resources stolen and not be aware of it (it's invisible, you can't see what's happening and react - right?) than to be shown an annoying thing which is very much in your awareness? I don't kn

Bombadil was the name of a doll in Tolkien's home. That's why he was the "oldest", because the name predates the book itself. Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Bombadil

It's an obvious generalization. Everybody else gets what he meant, don't you?

If users want equivalencies then they shouldn't use quotes, which are for exact match. Let's not play semantics here. Search syntax is clear - put things in quotes, get 'exact match' in return. Equivalent words are not e

On Google, at least a few years ago and back, when you put a query "X" you were guaranteed to see X in the HTML contents of the page. Or at least I can't remember getting a result that didn't satisfy that condition. Now

I don't know about links, but the phenomenon of getting results for a query like: A "B" with no B on the page has been particularly disturbing for some time. At least months, maybe longer, I can't say. I have no idea why

Maybe you missed the point of the article. The author is describing a common issue where people have lots of ideas, plan them out in their heads and get the reward in form of pleasure (anticipation of success, power, beauty, anything). They

As if democracies aren't buying votes already en masse?! Lobbying is just that, on a scale that actually matters more (directly at policy decision making point).

I would rather the browser protect me from all popups, and only enable such a "feature" by specific request. I did set what you mention now, but my point is, why isn't it the default, and why is it so hidden (e.g. there are m

Fielmann is a German brand available in several European countries, but I'm not sure if they make their own eyewear. Still, I can't imagine paying 1000 USD for a pair of glasses. In Poland 100 EUR gives you a decent pair, 200 EUR

Yes! You could also focus on emotions and thoughts i e Just notice wgat you feel or think without trying to change it.

Hm. I interpreted it as being aware of where i am in activity, how I do parts of it, kind of trying to do it well and recognizing where i am in the process. Mindfulness to me would be just To continually bring awareness to whatever I feel,

This is an excellent list of strategies, really good breakdown that maybe be useful in facilitating behavioral change. What I find surprising is the lack of mindfulness on the list, i.e. employing mindful awareness to an activity as a way t

There's a bigger story hidden behind the achievements of memory champions. The groundbreaking result from the past few decades is not that there is a way for a human to memorize a thousand numbers, or that a particular method of memori

I can't follow this, it's too technical for me. Are you saying anyone here on HN who watches the talk (and is technical enough) could just read text messages of the people who are in the area around their BTS? How is that NOT done

I don't fully follow the prefix thing. So a scammer makes a call from a number that's a prefix of my number? That doesn't affect 2FA, that won't show up as "me" on my friends' phone screens when they call,

Right. So if you need physical access to my phone to be able to copy my keycard, I'm not too worried. I'll find out very quickly I don't have it, within minutes typically (hours at most). If someone is an incredibly smart adv

This is interesting, how exactly can a phone number be "stolen"? I mean a practical reality. I'm in Poland, have had the same number for >10 years with several carriers in a row, contract-based. How can anyone "steal&

Interesting point about trying to minimize the proxy expert game. I myself don't have full clarity on which level of proxy is OK. Should it be a dedicated person (typically an analyst)? Should it be the team? Part of the team? Someone

Yes. In my view, the governments are simply unwilling to devise _actually_ meaningful way to remove bad actors from the roads (bad drivers, i.e. drivers that are reckless, drive too close to cars in front of them, use mobile phone too much
