They are conflated, but the correlation isn't just that one can be used to pay for the other. IPFS is increasingly becoming the "content layer" for blockchains, since it's not efficient to store content (like images) in

Same for me. His first interview with him was also my favorite podcast episode of 2020. Also, you can watch it in video form. I'd argue it's better that way, especially with the way he emotes during certain parts of the discussion

Indeed, but I don't think we're anywhere near the limit yet. I don't know about exponential growth, but I would predict at least double or triple the amount lost to scams in 2022. (Barring some massive SEC/DoJ crackdown,

And imagine if they could live for 80+ years instead of only 3 - 5. Their unusually high intelligence may be related to things like continuous RNA editing. If all of their adaptation mechanisms could evolve to occur over a much longer times

You're right, but I think the part that's ostensibly analogous is the slow, progressive decline. Which is something that happens with many chronic illnesses, but the notion of slowly losing your mental capacities is one of the wor

I don't think the parent was taking much issue with the blog posts or the fact that he's a tutor. I think it's his previous companies, plus this paragraph from the post: > So, first of all, the confession: I’m not a neutra

I don't really think it's virtue signaling. "Virtue signaling" is itself an extremely tired cliche/accusation. To me it feels more like stock "relatability signaling", which gives me a similarly unctuous f

When you say "the vaccine", do you mean the mRNA vaccines specifically, or all of the vaccines?

Interesting. I always "perform" the rotation in my mind's eye, so I guess I figured that's how most others did, too. Typical mind fallacy strikes again.

There are some spatial intelligence tests that essentially require mentally rotating and flipping 3D objects in your mind's eye. That could maybe be one way. Can't speak to the quality of this test, but here's one that might

On that topic: it can't necessarily be ruled out that they might have a soul. (In the sense of possessing consciousness.) Less likely the fewer degrees of freedom you have, and certainly seems like a long shot for ~300 neurons, but we

Also ended up with Fira Code, which I already use. Would feel a little more satisfying if the whole thing was blinded A/B testing, but I'm fairly confident I do just prefer Fira Code over the others.

I'm sure there are plenty of ineffective doctors/therapists and plenty of effective chiropractors. I believe a genuinely scientific doctor wouldn't merely use heuristics and would use actual science and personal examination t

Could this possibly be related to the source of the bacteria?

by meowface 5y ago
Some of the techniques some chiropractors use are legitimate (whether or not the theories they believe about the techniques are), but the best thing to do is find a science-based physical therapist who also uses those techniques.

Exactly. Advertising is a universal scourge, in my book. I don't care what form it's in. It's a manipulative intrusion and a pollutant. I'd legitimately rather you mine cryptocurrency on my machine than mine advertising
