One of the things I like about Facebook are the ads. Remember TV? Where all the ads are just targeted at extremely broad demographics and most of them have nothing to do with you? Apple says we should go back to that. I actually like fi

Weight loss is such a well explored topic with high commercial demand that anything you've thought of has probably already been done. As far as drugs to speed up weight loss there's DNP, which actually works. It's justifiab

After $100 million dollars it becomes very hard to spend money on consumption. Having that much money is so you can do things that Blackrock and Vanguard don't want you to do, because they would own your company when you had to sell t

Has anyone interviewed anyone in the administration to figure out what their thinking was with the enactment of these policies? More importantly, who was responsible, and how did they get put in that position of authority? Our world seems

What's up with all these old western Apparatchiks? You got Jimmy Carter at 97, his wife is 94. Henry Kissinger is 99. Do they all go to the same clinic?

There's always "A World Made By Hand" by Kunstler if you want a picture of what life might be like after the world runs out of oil. It's more of the "dying not with a bang, but with a whimper" variety of post-

A practice I do that's related to this is a year end wrapup. I write it at the beginning of January where I take my whole year and write about what significant things happened each month and then the major themes of the year and a ref

I find that many iphone people have a misconception that Android is locked down too. It's extraordinarily common and I don't know why. I use the non play store install feature for a few things. For example, I go to Telegram'

Google Docs pretty much handles the multiple users working on the same document problem as well as I could imagine. Am I missing something here?

"crypto investing and trading could be thought of as the internet’s largest Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game (MMORPG) and, for many, it’s deeply addictive and fun." In a game though you can bribe the game company to

I can't understand why people like those tiny wireless keyboards and mice they have to recharge and pair. When you're at a workstation just plug in one dongle and hook up all of it. It's so easy.

Just leave a single dongle with a bunch of ports at the office. You need to plug in the power anyway and it's simpler than pairing.

I tried to have fun with Twitter's Periscope a year ago, which has been out for a while. It's a group video chat app where anyone can pop in. In that way it's sort of like clubhouse, but with video. When I would get on, i

Right now we can look at DALL-E and say that it did a good job or it didn't because it is producing familiar objects like teddy bears or whatever. If the science equivalent of DALL-E said this is a process to extract an enantiomer wit

(Spoilers?) I don't think disintegrating at mach 10 would be survivable. You're basically a meteorite at that point burning up in the atmosphere, not to mention the speed at which you'll hit the ground even with a parachute

Sometimes I see ads for mobile games and I get curious about them. Then I go to youtube and watch the playthrough videos and realize just how much of my life and money I could waste on what turns out to be 100s of hours of mostly random bu

You can do this at home, except for the little inconvenience that growth hormone is a scheduled drug. I wonder what the results would be with just growth hormone. Let's ask Sylvester Stallone[1] who looks great for 75 and got caught

In context, 4chan can be a useful toy to teach about ideology. Ideology is any belief system where the fundamental ideas are defended with insults, censorship, and threats. There are many banned ideologies on display on 4chan that are dis

It seems maybe not the intent, but the practical result is to use the private sector to implement CCP like social credit scores isn't it? By doing everything in the private sector they get around all those pesky constitutional prote

Given what I know about the cultural revolution, struggle sessions, etc. I think there's a burning desire in the CCP to develop and refine methodology to fix dissidents so they no longer cause trouble. The malleability of the human mi

They downranked pirated content results in 2018[1] so someone could just use pagerank and include those sites and have a better search engine for that sort of content. There's also the "controversial twiddler"[2] which makes

I think the Metaverse will fail because it's a creepy futurism project. Creepy futurism says the solution to climate change is to replace real experiences with virtual experiences that don't burn any carbon. The pièce de résista

Psytrance gives extra frisson, but most people have to be high on something to appreciate it. I know that the nootropics I've taken are working when psytrance goes from being slightly annoying to listen to to being awesome.

I occasionally look at a few very niche subreddits, but for news, Reddit is complete garbage. Reddit has been kind of dead to me since 2016. They were the first big victim of the ongoing anti-free-speech wave that started in 2016.
