This is such a patronizing point of view. You are essentially deciding for me that what I choose to do with my technological choices is "a form of self-harm" (when in fact I only experience total pleasure). Is it really that hard

You didn't break any of HN rules, and yet people downvoted you. It goes to show HN's vegan-bias!

They both look the same (except for use of pyramid vs circle). What exactly are the major differences as you see?

Somewhat true, but not actually true. This is a flawed study by a Google's competitor (the for-profit organization called DuckDuckGo). FTA: > Following the study’s publication this morning, Google told The Verge in a statement that

Google does not track your incognito history and cookies unless you actually sign-in to your Google account in the incognito window of course.

That's not an unreasonable point, but with that alarmist logic why are you then not living off the grid?

Chrome is deeply integrated in ChromeOS devices (should be obvious from the naming), of which the Pixel Slate is what I own. A bunch of PWAs (arguably the future of android apps) also require Chrome. Moreover I use Chrome to sync my Google

I'm invested in the Google ecosystem, and have recently got myself a Pixel Slate that I carry everywhere as my primary computing/ media device (no more separate laptop and tablet). It would now be silly of me to use Firefox in pla

Any references for that claim (assuming 5 days water fast or less)?

by sridca 8y ago
You can still fast, like I do, despite being lean. 4-5 day water fast regenerates the immune system.

It is a problem in India too. Moreover people here consider being overweight to be healthy and equate being lean to being malnourished!

by sridca 8y ago
No the problem is gluttony. Why do we complicate this so much?

by sridca 8y ago
Fasting is the ultimate weight loss tool. It also facilitates (muscle) growth and healing.

Eat meat. Do calisthenics[1]. Practice prolonged fasting every month. There is no money to be made in any of these activities (hence you won't see it as part of everyday propaganda). [1] https://www.amazon.com/gp/c

I was not talking about preferences -- if one actually "prefers" to do something over watching TV, then why not just do it (after all that's what a "preference" is) instead of doing the contrary and then lamenting a

So my question was actually rhetorical. The point I was hoping to bring to the discussion is the fact that nearly all of our value-preferences (here, the value of time spent on various activities) come from social conditioning[1]. In this p
