Ah yes, the venerable journalists at “biznews” hard at work. Honestly, why do you think anyone here would take the advice of some random Wordpress site? Also, natural immunity is variable whereas a vaccine gives standard coverage without h

Same. I already have $1,100 saved for a gaming PC, but since that might only buy a GPU right now I’ll just jump into this and hopefully wait out the GPU crunch.

Honestly this is so stupid brilliant I love it (stupid as in I can’t believe I hadn’t considered this). Honestly it really is about storing, sending, and checking messages so SMTP makes so much sense! I’ve been building for the web for 15 y

Woof. I don’t think you could stuff anymore fear and paranoia into a platform than that. “The schools are bad and getting worse”, “ A society that permits mass lawlessness is doomed. We are on that path”, “ Every day, we read about new lega

It simply isn’t an inevitable part of it. There’s a chain of failures happening to Lois Rossman and the licensing board not picking up phone calls to take appointments is one of them and it’s in no way “inevitable”. By your logic if a servi

Came here to promote Mullvad as well. Not that they can’t point back to your up address or some such but since you can login to the VPN using a unique identifier instead of an email address and password it’s a pretty decent way to decouple

That’s interesting! I’ll search it out and see what I can find.

Meh. As a Type 1 diabetic I hear things like this constantly. I’d love it to be true but like another new revolutionary battery I’ll believe it when I see it on the verge of mass production with all of its various certifications and approva

There is a host of terms used in that thread that point to the person as a conspiracy theorist. "The Cabal", "The Great Reset". These are terms used in the Qanon community constantly. It has to do with the person lacking

They also push the idea of "The Great Reset" in that thread, which is another conspiracy theory that is tied up with FEMA putting people in camps in abandoned Walmarts, Bill Gates chipping us through the Covid-19 vaccine, and Q-an

Are you saying that calling Barlow “Fartlow” on Twitter is the equivalent of a mob attempting to murder Jews? I think Eve Barlow is adult enough to handle a fart joke. If not I’m not sure being a journalist is the easiest career choice for

How do you picture it being decentralized but not self hosted? Self hosting was my first thought and I can’t think of a way to keep it from being centralized under an organization’s control without at least having it as a simple to setup He

I donate to my local NPR station. This feels very much along the same lines and I’m down.

That’s true but the Digital Millennium Copyright Act is a US law and this is an Indian court. So it’s similar in that what has to be reported is the act of a user sharing the content, but the reaction the platform has to take is different.

That’s a gross oversimplification. That’s like saying “every application hosted on a server running Linux is basically the same”. AWS makes money by hosting all kinds of things, it doesn’t mean Amazon the company is a once removed partner o

It’s a good read. People of all political stripes think conspiratorial thinking is always something that “the other side” is doing and never guard themselves against it. We’re all equally capable of being drawn into stories that are of ques

MSCHF actually settled the case, so this isn’t saying that the right of first doesn’t apply. I personally think that Nike would have lost the suit, but I am not a lawyer. I’m guessing MSCHF didn’t want to spend the money litigating and they

Yes, the problem is that I'm not taking my modest savings, that I will 100% rely on for retirement, and taking risks with it. Of course, how silly of me. The concept that middle class Americans need to risk the money they've saved

I absolutely love that episode. Any TNG story that features Picard being exited about archaeology is usually a great one. But I agree with your point. It’s not bad to write with computer consumption in mind, unless it loses the core focus

It really feels like a lot of people didn't even click through to the _tweet_, which is concise and direct as can be given the nature of Twitter as a platform. I'll grant that the actual count is still helpful data for users but t

What bothers me is that the title is even a little misleading. They're removing the count of dislikes (which obviously has an impact) but the dislike feature itself is still there.

That is extremely frustrating. Your response was clear, I think, and it just feels like whoever reviewed the review didn't have all the information or willfully ignored it.

This was such a beautiful article. I was just talking to friends about programming for predicting chess and poker games and then this came up which was felt very perfect. It just makes me appreciate the human mind that much more.
