It’s bad in a world where we prefer admiring idols instead of critical thinking. Just see anti-vaccination, or heck how people get so passionate about their JS framework and silo themselves missing the trees for the forest.

The one that stores solar energy crosses stomach barrier in a way that alters it’s functioning drastically by giving it energy. Who knows if LSD equivalents found in plants helped proto-humans (from cells to any mammal) develop key aspects

As a side note: I'm optimistic that there will be more solutions to the symptoms of Parkinson (not sure if this is the case for this post but sharing anyways). For example https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research&#

Any decent engineer would smile at the fact that they just found a bug in this type of open source stack and happily submit it. Feel this is more of a side effect of individual behavior rather than company policy.

You could claim the same about Tesla, it has a lot of expert criticizing their financials but it is still up in the air if they are right or wrong. I guess if it does fail people will claim that it was obvious all along...

With hindsight you are able to claim this but it was highly controversial to even criticize Theranos back in the day. The book outlines how hard and how long it took to open the can of worms.

It just takes one erroneous logging call in the wrong place and all this niceness goes away. Hopefully we don't get a headline in the future of "Bug found with contact tracing app, we actually had access to everything but we'

Accounting 101: balance sheets, cash flow analysis. Those tools were not created to have interesting graphs and tables to look at but to promote and show explicitly what’s going on behind the scenes. I get that a lot of people just invest o

A business that doesn't have cash flow for bad times is not a business. There was a time when business weren't leveraged to the max and the profit taking during good times was not squeezed to every cent. This could easily be fixed

In some positive light, 3-4 years ago Google or Facebook would've jumped on and published a contact tracing app without thinking twice. I wonder what's going on inside in terms of discussions. Some positive side effect of the tech

That was a strategic move, if you keep on the perpetual license for Office you promote people using other services for sync-in and storage. If you move it to a service like O365 you include that as part of the subscription (online editor an

You could start with companies that Peter Thiel invests in and then start building a network of known associates. He seems to be keen on investing on this sort of companies, maybe to have an eye on them since Palantir/Facebook can&#x27

My completely personal guess is that he’s supporting Bernie knowing he won’t get the Democrat ticket and then he will promote anti-Democrat party sentiment without openly saying “vote for the other party”. His followers will connect the dot

What you are claiming is that the market is 100% efficient but history and just knowing how business work says otherwise. The thing is that resources that have been mismanaged by the market are long gone so you don’t hear much about them. F

A third party can blackmail a politician if they are hiding whatever they think is hurtful for their career. Not that I care about what they do on their personal time but transparency has its benefits.

True, firewall is for inbound connection. Thanks.

It runs on device and it's fairly easy to analyze the traffic, you are not giving a third party all your access. You could proxy all the traffic through a Mac running LittleSnitch, read their code, inspect the VPN profile it installs o

The VPN is optional purchase. I mentioned it since the setup is a bit misleading. The DNS blocking is free and on-device and available to run after skipping the VPN part. Pi-hole is harder to get right with a mobile device on the go unless

Next step is to download Lockdown, open source and on device firewall. It also offers a VPN with an in-app purchase (kinda confusing when you are setting it up), but for free you get the firewall only. Easy to enable and block known ad-trac
