This seems pretty benign, and it might be the only way this person is able to communication if they aren't neurotypical. I would say just accept it, appreciate that they're listening to you, and enjoy the other parts of your life.

A) Yes, it is minified. I don't think you know what minified means or why people do it. B) Unminified code would be a smell, but regardless, frontend code isn't usually much of a smell regardless of what it looks like.

So why would a site with 0 users be able to succeed where reddit, with tens of millions, fails? Is it possible you were looking at the wrong subreddits or that people just don't generally want this on the internet anymore? Social media

I'm not sure what standard you're using for "proven," but there are a lot of studies showing results similar to this one: https://www.publichealth.columbia.edu/news/calorie-restricti... There don&#x

It varies from study to study, but generally what I've seen for anti-aging is ~1,000 calories per day or less. I've seen it as low as 500.

I'll have to look into it more, but from what I've seen, it seemed that people had to restrict calories so much that their immune system was underactive (which may be a large part of why it works).

by smt88 2y ago
Calorie restriction is a well-studied (though not terribly healthy) way to slow aging. It's likely these drugs are just making it easier for people.

It seems almost impossibly stupid for IDF or Russia (two of the most sophisticated hacking entities in the world) to use unencrypted messengers for anything important. Am I wrong? It would make Durov the most valuable target for military in

There is zero doubt at this point about Zuckerberg's principles. He has none. He hasn't even stayed consistent on anti-Semitism, which you'd think would be close to his heart. I will also say, to be fair, that none of the oth

There are public subreddits about drugs, prostitution, and suicide assistance. Presumably the main issue here is whether Telegram was cooperating with law enforcement, but maybe I'm missing something.

This seems to confirm speculation that Durov himself is not accused of committing these crimes, but rather than Telegram didn't do enough to prevent criminals from using it in the commission of crimes. The only exception (maybe?) is th

Gmail's filters are the most tested and targeted by spammers. Switch to a different provider. Fastmail is better in my experience.

I can't tell if this is satire, but Worldcoin is idiotic at best and a gift to fascism at worst. Altman should never have been taken seriously again after mentioning it out loud for the first time.

Telegram is mostly used by people in the US for drug deals and chatting with people in Eastern Europe, so it's very common to believe it's a secure messenger.
