Not so sure. Don't remember the exact details but it involved a post on the shroomery website and another one on Stack Overflow and he was using the same handle on various sites. It seemed much easier to unravel than exploiting the Tor

Having not yet read the article I hope this is still relevant - for people who like music you can really lose yourself in ("trance inducing" is a bit cringey ...), check out Nusrath Fateh Ali Kahn. One of his most famous songs lin

Similar situation. I'm in the top 2% mainly because of a handful of question I asked 10+ years ago that keep bringing in points every single day. One time I posted a fairly basic question and someone commented "why are you posting

Belgian here, used to work for big pharma. The current procedures for clinical trials (very long, very expensive) were put in place after Thalidomide (google it). Pharma companies are terrified of this happening again, especially in a situa

We do have a govt, it's just the elected parties that can't agree on how to govern together so in the meantime there's some interim setup. Or something along those lines. It's such a non issue that nobody even notices. I

> a drastically reduced ability to afford esssential life-saving healthcare for other non-COVID conditions Isn't that more of a symptom of a broken healthcare system?

Perhaps the symptoms overlap, and many Covid patients certainly seem to have no symptoms at all. But Covid can and does make health care systems collapse, makes doctors have to pick which patient dies and which one gets the only ventilator

Did that for a while in my early 20s. Spent a few months in Asia with just a 35L backpack of clothes on my back and the odd book. This was before wifi and smartphones. Happiest time of my life.

If the "core" of your software needs to be rewritten half way through the project then that's a disaster and you've also wasted many man-hours on it. Maybe my crap's not loosely coupled enough.

Yeah, it seems like the people in that article didn't even do the most basic napkin calculations. My estimate is: you could start a towed coffee trailer for 10-12K, about 8K of that on the trailer, the rest on some basic equipment and

Kinda like building a web app. Think, estimate, write, compile, deploy, repeat. On a serious note, there's so many similarities between building a house and a web app. Without a proper plan and a blueprint, preferably by an architect a

There's nothing being forced on us here in the EU in the context of BLM. It's more the case that people here lap it up, copying all the same narratives, terminology and practices. This goes for both ends of the political spectrum.

Why don't you keep shopping where you usually do, wherever you think you get the best value for money and donate to a charity instead?

As a European I'm very far removed from all this and don't really care either way. But I can't help but wonder - are there any Native American voices in this whole story? Black people got a raw deal but surely it's incom

It was awesome having google.com/ig as a homepage. There hasn't been anything to replace it that I know of. I still subscribe to feeds in a different tool but it's not the same.

I have similar problems. Some of it might be because of underlying issues we'll probably never learn about it, but some of it is also social media and information overload. There's so much shit bombarding us every day, all enginee

I'm the same. Often incapable of grasping a solution which I know is just within reach. With some problems I can "feel" my brain just blocking, I can't visualise complex data structures. I'll spend days staring at a
