This is probably me not being able to “read the room” but this study both makes me very happy and very sad. I recently watched Dominion documentary [1] and the more we learn about animals cognition the more I feel the weight of their massiv

If 5% of people want to run their own servers and 95% use AWS etc. then Moxies point still stands. These blog posts fee like some folks are trying to ride a popularity wave rather than make an actual argument. What “running your own server”

Isn't the fundamental discussion we should be having if decentralization embodies trust? Is something decentralized automatically trustful? Or can trust only be established in a decentralized way? Which way is it? The only thing I see

I have an idea! Why not create a _second_ blockchain which verifies the identity of NUU? :)

We vaccinated millions of people with billions of doses with these vaccines. I have yet to see or hear of anyone who died of the vaccine and nearly everyone I know was vaccinated with Pfizer at some point. Safe to say you are purposely spre

1.5 decades into the tech, blockchain hasn't really provided any utility aside from easing drug transactions and money laundering. I agree with the author that some interesting tech issues were solved but apparently this still doesn&#x

While I generally support gendering and think it is important, I am not a fan of the extreme form of it either, but honestly stop exaggerating... no one is hurt by this text. Ctrl+F ':' just shows 'keine:r' as the _only_

I didn't doubt the claim because the girlfriend has been watching tons of Korean shows over the last year but never before. My Netflix list is full of them and I just recently got convinced myself by a trailer and will start watching s

As a German I want to announce my contention to the position for "country who respects soldiers the least".

She's ruined anyway, doesn't mean she should get life in prison but I know Americans tend to thrive on cruelty.

Not to defend her actions, but why do Americans particularly insist on severe, inhumane, and disproportional punishment? It would be completely unthinkable for her to get anything >15 years in Germany, likely much much less than that (le

I mean there are entire pages dedicated to lay out marketing strategies on reddit: https://blog.wishpond.com/post/115675438254/reddit-marketing... https://contentfac.com/a-complete-guide-to-reddit-

Reddit is full of subversive marketing. The real communities discussing their passions are absolutely exploited by "undercover" PR agencies.

I have recently researched a laundry machine. No chance - if you dont know where to ask or look you will be bombarded with fake marketing crap and affiliate cancer.

Of all the examples, reddit is the scariest to me. People think it's a bunch of nerds talking about geeky topics (or whatever) but as soon as a subreddit has a sizable user base it will be targeted by PR firms posing as normal users. M

A Pokemon GO - like game but developed by a subversive power to destabilize society further and further, inch by inch, slowly until the strength withers from within. Would be a decent Black Mirror episode.

AfD are literal fascists, there is nothing democratic about them. NSDAP was also democratically voted into the Parlament… only to disassemble it.

AI doesn't exist. There is nothing inherently intelligent about deep NNs which are merely very good pattern matching algorithms, statistics really... The term AI suggests something is thinking which is false marketing at best, abused

If more people watch the film and become aware of the state of our "society" maybe such a blog post still served a purpose.

Meditation works for them but they have to overcome many obstacles before seeing even the slightest sliver of success. The brain is manipulated into a very agitated state due to constant engagement. 24/7-be-ready on your phone with 35

Since iOS 15 it has been very easy to just configure a Focus mode. I put all (and I mean all) apps and contacts in a silent-list during whichever time I feel like being left alone. Can still define certain contacts to reach you in case of e

If the option to debt is homelessness maybe think about that system for a second as opposed to what society is capable of providing if you let it. Predatory corporations rule America today so the Jurassic Park comparison is quite apt. There

Yes, the mental image I got is a sort of Venn diagram of overlapping networks. In any sort of processing, more or less the whole brain is involved and one subset of the network isn't involved in only one thing, but possibly specialized

At least it isn't really subject to arbitrary moderation like on reddit. I have a pretty good idea what posts are sensible on hn. However, I keep posting stuff on r/de (German subreddit) and mods remove it or let it pass at a whim
