Give credit where credit is due. Spiegel is digging deep, showing humility, and asking the right questions after Snap has been flailing for a long time. The crux of the issue is that they haven't launched anything fundamentally innovat

Apologies in advance if this is somewhat off topic, but I have some pushback against the title of this post. No disrespect to Diplomacy, I think it's a great game. However I would respectfully submit that chess might have a stronger cl

I also have extensive experience with chronic abuse. I would argue strongly that abusers do not love those they harm. Abuse is not an expression of love. If you want to argue that abusers think they are loving those they harm, perhaps bec

Thanks for clarifying. I'm going to step slightly down from my high horse now. So, I just tested and I can still have separate "People" in Chrome browser-level settings, + incognito windows as you mentioned. I guess now I&#x2

This is very bad. There are so many reasons why I want to be able to use Gmail without having google track all of my activity across search and maps. I have been a loyal Chrome user since pretty much launch, because it was the fastest brows

+1 for Bear. I used Evernote for years but it finally became too slow and bloated with several thousand notes and tons of features I never use. I need a lightweight note app, if it takes more than a second or two to fire up the app and jot

Jobs was a true tech visionary, the kind they don’t make anymore. Not to undercut the arguments about sales, but his ability to sell came not from charisma alone but from a crystal clear and compelling vision of how technology could work f

Really solid product. I have been needing a simple video annotation tool exactly like this for a project of mine. From the demo video it looks like you’ve executed on the concept well. Look forward to putting it through its paces!

The more I think about it, the more I agree with the basic tenets of the neurodiversity movement as presented here by MIT Media Lab director Joi Ito. The key word in the quote below is “interface”: ‘Many mental “illnesses” can be “cured” by

As much as I love to hate on Skype’s godawful and seemingly inexorable UX decline since the Microsoft acquisition, I have to give them credit for this latest rollback. It takes balls to admit that you were wrong on such a major redesign. No

Although I still prefer OP’s version, I do appreciate you leaving your comment, because there was a small part of me that did wonder what the correct version of foxomorphize was, and now I don’t have to. Also, points for “vulpiformify” as a

You know, you are undoubtedly technically correct, but I really love the use of foxopomorphize. Something about it just so perfectly encapsulates the OP's point about foxes and humans sharing a joke across species boundaries, in the wa

Can someone modify the title to simply "California bans forced arbitration"? "No-disparge" is a typo, but more importantly I don't see any mention of non-disparagement clauses in the bill itself. IANAL but it appear

They are symbolic constructs, based in the mind and expressed through the body. Like memes. As opposed to genes, which are also expressed through the body but which are chemical in nature. Perhaps “garden variety” depression and anxiety are

Unless I’m missing something obvious - always a possibility - I believe we’re in complete agreement on PTSD being a great example of a “mental injury”. You may want to re-read my original comment.

After wrestling with this linguistic problem for quite some time, the best term I’ve come up with this far is “mental injury”. I strongly prefer it to “illness” because illness connotes a disease of the flesh, and there is no proof that any

Don’t believe the hype. All saturated fats are not created equal. Coconut oil boosts the “good” HDL cholesterol levels, as opposed to other fats which will only raise your “bad” LDL cholesterol. This article is clickbait and reads like an a

As stated in other comments, Xanax or other benzos can bring you down. Or you could go to the hospital and get injected with a nice strong sedative like Haldol. None of these approaches are particularly healthy longterm. The closest thing I

Consider looking into CBD. It has the anti-anxiety benefits of cannabis without the psychoactive effects of THC which can amplify a panic attack. And none of the awful poison of benzos which will kill you if you take enough of them for lon

Morning pages has been an incredibly helpful tool for me to process the difficult emotional states associated with acute and chronic PTSD. I kind of do the slacker version by typing them out as opposed to writing freehand, but hey, it still

I see. The plot thickens :-) Based on what you're saying, my best guess for what is happening is that the memory issue might be correlated to the CBD intake but not caused by it. i.e., maybe you are taking the CBD to cope with a period

That is a bit odd. I often have the experience of standing somewhere wondering what I was doing, but that's more of a momentary thing that I would call garden variety absent-mindedness. The other experience that comes to mind is drivin
