It's super heavily moderated here. Reddit is heavily moderated too, but there you can get into an argument, and it depends on the subreddit. Here the tone policing is far, far stricter. Also the homepage is incredibly tightly controlle

This isn’t true anymore, there are numerous ad blocking plugins that do the extensive blocking just like uBlock. May not be as good due to less active community, but the capabilities are there and a few of them are quite good.

Not a chance, these numbers are so heavily quadruple counted and biased, and even if they try it once it’s not an active user. Again if you think it’s that common you live in a bubble. Half the population is above 45, and it’s not above 2%

It’s completely made up and untrue. Think about it, a billion users is 1/7 of all people on earth. If you assume that number has to be at least 3x in the US (extremely conservative, given we’re incredibly rich and at least 100x more ex

Good, I said people you trust, not me. You shouldn't trust me, but I trust me and my friends.

In the end most of these have to end up at some sort of public URL. Only truly closed platforms like FB could really work around this, but anything that ultimately has a public URL will be pretty easy to find.

If your trust for first hand accounts from people you trust is meaningless, I feel sorry for you. And if you aren’t able to intuit their biases based on your history with them and take that into account, more so. That you seemingly missed t

It is more powerful. Data is often meaningless without interpretation, missing many dimensions, easily and often manipulated, funded by unknown desires and forces, and generally unreliable. Outside of the hardest of sciences it’s worse than

I speak Spanish, my real name is in my profile, I talked to a few of them pretty often. I’ll try not to baselessly insult you back. More likely you don’t want it to be true.

On my street in the Mission there were mostly illegal immigrants living on the sidewalk in tents, they told me as much.

You make some great points. Money, investments, banks, programmable money, decentralized organizations, VC where investors don't need accreditation (great for the little guy, bad for the 1%), deeds, remittances, prediction markets. Eve

AI could barely put together a sentence a decade ago but I didn’t tell anyone to shut the fuck up about it, it was pretty cool still even if it barely worked. Almost like technology progresses.

Sure it’s something to take into your model, but I find the just so framing weirdly pressing in these types of threads.

Why do you immediately jump to one conclusion as to explain this?

Was it pg who said it? Not sure but basically - middle class get about one shot. Upper class can keep shooting their whole lives. Of course lower class usually doesn’t get one. I took my one shot! Any more is too risky for quite a while.

Totally impossible. I’d have to be eating like way more than I ever have to do that. I went off for three months and kept losing weight throughout. And the data from these drugs shows they gain it back at regular rate at most.

Yep. I lost 30lbs on it in 3 months. It took me 10 years to gain that weight. So I guess if it takes me 10 more years to gain it back I can look into taking it again.

Exercise has many side effects too, including a risk of injury. Meanwhile GLP-1 protects and even improves the function of brain, lungs, heart, muscles, bones, and kidneys, it improves sleep quality and reduces sleep duration, it definitely

Don't think this is true, yarn 2 is a drop in basically you may be thinking of the PnP stuff but that's off by default now. pnpm used to be the difficult one but seems a bit better these days.

Night is also quiet and peaceful. No one is up or going to be up, likely. People aren't outside making noise. No inbound calls, less inbound emails or chats. Less notifications across social media.

Because they’ve had limits on accounts combined with trivial registration of new accounts, combined with counting enterprise “accounts” from stuff like bing or api usage which really is just the same people using them over and over. That an
