the "-" operator still works. E.g. "weird stuff I found interesting -reddit.com -youtube.com -wired.com -w3schools.com"

Money's already meaningless. Indeed, printing more of it is what's going to happen, but it won't help most of those who lost their jobs.

Finally, programmers would have to actually optimize :D

It's just so fascinating how this is accepted as truth, yet Crimea having a pro-Russian majority is touted as absolute bollocks, propaganda, brainwashed people. Pretty much the same situation, completely different reaction from the sam

Yet. That's the good news about this. New competition will just bring affordability and innovation.

Uh, yeah, as long as it's not on their own lands, they could fight some real wars...

Yeah, it looks like more of a way to make China break whatever dependence on the US it had and become an even bigger competitor :/

Nothing's preventing it from escalating to war. The national defense agencies in all countries probably have plans if that happens... I believe and really hope that an actual war won't happen. There's too much to lose, and li

Develop their own tools and get people locked in? Yeah, I don't see that happening, unless maybe they lobby for further EU-wide Internet regulations aimed at keeping US/foreign companies out. https://lobste.rs/s&#x

Funny that you mention UK and blood tests. I was literally told I don't need one, so I went private for £100. I was right about something being wrong, too. Really can't generalize for the whole of UK, though, some parts are so dep

Ah well I thought the main point of that excerpt was that they didn't run blood tests and find the cancer sooner. Not the overprescription of medication.

Do we just never hear the other side (because there's too many of them and they're too poor to get published)? There's a lot of people who say their parents wished they "left a mark" or did something in this world b

It's really not exclusive to America.

Presumably that would be after they lose all that because they can't pay for it anymore. Then again, judging by the downvote happy people here, there may not be enough braincells left for a successful revolution.

And sometimes you just need to hold a gun to the primitive brain and just make it do what needs to be done.

Depression and anxiety - due to always failing, missing deadlines, disappointing people, anxiety comes anytime one even thinks of doing something.

That leads nowhere. Everyone's sharing their opinions, the only solutions are to limit their freedoms or stop reading what they write.

Temperatures have been rising even further north. I'm near the 47th parallel and there was practically no winter this year. Used to have -20 degC with lots of snow, but alas. Last year's highs were above 40 degC for weeks - unimag

That... sounds like a good idea. I wonder why PornHub/etc don't try this? Or do they already have such a feature?

I do it with tabs in the browser... if there's like 30-40 of them (usually for "reading later and saving any good info"), yeah they get closed. I've yet to miss something... Notes, not really, there's a ton of them

That's been a feature since at least Windows XP (also you could tap the GHB nipple/TouchStick)... so it was really confusing when laptops started having clicky touchpads :D

This "life always on the brink" preparedness is a major part of what's keeping poor European countries poor. Everybody distrusts the government, they rely on each other, learn to do things themselves so they don't rely o

I guess some people see better... I like 17 inch displays, and while 4K looks great, FullHD is better for actually working. Maybe my eyes are going bad...

I'm so getting downvoted for this, but let me just say it: the iPhone IPS not-even-FullHD displays are sad. The exact same inferiority you mention, in reverse -_-

I don't get it, what's so much better about them? I prefer a separate keyboard and mouse, but the trackpad on my Zbook for example, and previously Elitebooks, felt and worked just fine. Scrolling, zoom, clicking, what else do I ne

And what stops one from doing that today? It's not like anyone really knows more than a couple dozen or so people. Just stop taking in any information from outside your circle or town... The approach has got downsides, but damn the p
