"to whom addiction is an intellectual exercise. Maybe they know someone that may or may not be an addict, and the chances are good, that what happens to that person won't really be life-changing to the person writing about their p

"If enough time passes, you can start engaging in the behavior in a healthy way once again." Spoken like the author has never had someone close with addiction, imo. You'll notice that actual medical professionals never are li

Seeing the >$300mil donation bar for that site always makes my jaw drop. It's incredible that people wasted so much money on a scam / vaporware that repeatedly over promised and changed the rules to weasel out of releasing or g

I'm a little older but not by a lot, and was in a similar situation where I was in my early 30s where I felt my window for getting things done in life was closing and I didn't have a relationship and felt socially isolated in gene

"Hyper colors" to "hack my brain"? And it was like 14 paragraphs in until they actually started talking about anything technical. Always regret clicking Wired articles nowadays, they're literally just making up term

In my experience the sort of people who would play the racism/sexism card if it wasn't the case also tend to be the people who loudly virtue signal and shame others on social media about those topics all the time, and even announc

Did you know that there's a direct correlation between the decline of Spirograph and the rise in gang activity? Think about it.

So he actually was citing Mbps? That's impressive if at his age he's aware of that sort of thing. I was also just thinking that it might be easy to balk at $10k for such a thing to most people, but if I were 90 and the internet wa

There wasn't a problem of the information not being there, there was a problem of 30-40% of the country believing angry demagogues over experts, and said demagogues strong arming the scientific community with political and social power

So what main issues are you talking about that were "bullshit" advice from scientists in general exactly? You make a lot of super vague arguments with no specifics, and while it's nice to agree with children's fables lik

Wow, thanks for pointing out that review, I really needed a laugh this morning. "This fictional dystopian future isn't politically correct!"

Might just be easier to use sftp then depending what options you need. You can ls and get/put files from a command prompt like interface and it uses the ssh protocol as well.

That analogy doesn't even make sense. Also, nobody is arguing that people are "being forced" to use google services, feel free to quote a single person here that said that.

Can only speak for Steam's streaming here, but your mileage will probably vary. Your system needs to be fairly beefy (you will get a bit of a performance hit from streaming games). I run a geforce 1060 and it'll stream any new gam

It's not an extremely well known phenomenon at all. Asserting things while being overly emotional and aggressive isn't evidence. So: Citation needed.

It is unfortunate. I remember the earlier days of the internet when regulation wasn't brought up like this constantly. I think the unfortunate reality is whenever there's money involved, certain players will win over and time and

You're correct in that it is focused on making the user's brain feel good. I think a more accurate comparison, however, would be casino gambling. The slot machines ding at you and flash lights and make your brain release the dopam

I have to say I agree here. Notepad++ if it provides hashes for the downloaded EXEs is completely in the right for not wanting to pay middle men for fancy "this is OK" screen on installation. That seems ridiculous and greedy.

Uhh, I grew up playing the game in public school in the 90s and certainly never considered myself identified by that particular game or felt connected with anyone because they happened to play a game in that series too. That's just wei

I actually have to hand it to you if that's true. You waited it out for like 25+ years, that's some impressive dedication. The "I told you so" attitude doesn't come off as pleasant though.

For some people money isn't that important or the end all of everything. So we get articles like this with "shocking" behaviors of people who "could be rich but don't do X." It's an interesting commentary
