I understand that security has to compromise for the real world, but a self-extracting archive is possibly one of the worst things one could use in terms of security.

No. You can't get people to use updated software. You can't get a number of people to update past windows 7. This has been and will likely remain a persistent issue, and it's sure not one you're going to fix. All it will

Any pretense that does not give you disadvantages is misleading. Small shops and retail don't have to worry about e.g. slippage like the big guys do when taking positions. Big shops can work out custom instruments sometimes but on the

The classic example here is subtle, harmless defects/anomalies built into computer chips. Half the stuff china's made is full of these because they're straight ripped from reverse engineering of TI or whomever's stuff. V

No, the setup doesn’t. It’s aggregating people’s behaviors and preferences. People appear to have a preference; whether it’s good or bad, natural or ingrained, or some combination thereof, is a matter for discussion.

Just mentioning the CPC isn’t life-threatening, while talking about Xinjiang, Tiananmen Square, or cn’s common destiny vision the wrong way is. You also have to figure out how to prohibit mentioning those things without explicitly mentionin

The price tag on this stuff, in human capital, data, and hardware, is high enough to preclude that sort of “perfect competition” environment. Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good.

The point is every single thing I own should be "on my side". My car should not store my location history. My wifi router should not track presence and movement. My printer should not add any watermarks or telltale dots. My stuff

“Shortening the workweek” sounds pretty bad… some people will suggest literally anything before higher wages.

Most of those people aren’t working in highly-paid disciplines like high tech. Generally those disciplines necessarily have wider spreads. I am perfectly fine with this. If I suddenly have to think really hard at my job all day and do terri

If toy stores had a subscription fee or where you had to buy a new access pass every year, that would be fine. They don't work like that, though. They rely on maximizing the take from each individual child. They're designed so tha

This is because roblox is the #1 place for kids to interact and play and such. The creeps and weirdos and predators are going to follow wherever they go.

Before you run cover for these guys you should probably know it’s not “muh based anti-American-imperialist” but agitprop in service of Russian and Chinese imperialism.

The user has to do “final assembly”, giving it an appropriate input to produce the final stitched-together result.

Important note: they likely “memorize” Harry Potter and 1984 almost completely because they don’t. No coincidence that some of the most popular books, often quoted, are “memorized”. It’s likely what they’re actually memorizing are fair use

Global standards aren't really relevant to how people think of things around them. Protesting this fact is tilting at a windmill. The hedonic treadmill does not stop and nobody in America living in section 8 housing thinks "well a

You can get a little dose and it's likely not going to hurt you. "No safe dose" doesn't mean "any dose is massively injurious". You smell it regularly when you pump gasoline. Funny enough benzene used to be use

I think the "escape the box" explanation misses the point, if anything. The same problem has been super visible in RL for a long time, and it's basically like complaining that water tries to "escape a box" (seek a l

Flip side is a solution where I can have a book without an audiobook auto-generated (or use an existing ebook rather than paying audible $30 for their version) and it's "good enough" is a legit improvement. AI generated isn&#

Correct, my point is that you often wind up purchasing overseas from foreign subsidiaries of the same companies that make the prescribed and dispensed stuff here. You're still purchasing and using pharmaceutical-grade. The legal questi

Interesting, are you saying you found a difference in efficacy or tolerance? Was it based on enantiopure d-amphetamines or the ratio of d/l-enantiomers?

Has this been characterized in literature to any significant extent? This isn't a "challenging" question btw, I hear it repeated but wonder to what extent it's actually true vs. people's later perceptions coloring i

I don't know of outstanding literature on it, but the easiest thing to cite on the eventual inefficacy of methylphenidate is this: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17667478/ Take a glance at table 2, but the headli

Yeah there's functionally no good solution besides occasional stimulant use and staying off them the rest of the time. I vaguely recall some literature that claimed many patients had basically no benefit by some period (believe over a

Right. My point is the response to this is "well if we optimize it more we'll improve performance", but oftentimes if you optimized the existing code you would also improve performance. Your end state is still worse.

A while back I grabbed a topical corticosteroid cream from an indian subsidiary of an American pharmaceutical company because it was cheaper, faster, and easier than a dermatologist visit. It's often not a shady no-name manufacturer. S

Pretty much accurate, this is also my perception. I think the whole "nootropics" and "biohacking" community would benefit from mandatory introductory reading to understand that disrupting homeostasis in a durable and mea
