Hi there. I am currently exploring this same idea myself and I’m well on my way. Shoot me an email if you want to chat. Temp email: dithonilat@mybx.site

Those "mobs" are only ordinary people exercising their own freedom of expression online. I think a more correct sentiment would be that even when there are governments that don't want to limit freedom of expression, multinati

So you realized that your typing surface is too high. You have 2 options: 1. Lower your typing surface. 2. Raise your seat. #1 can be handled with a clamp-on keyboard tray (get one with negative tilt), and for #2, try a drafting stool (don&

I get that, it just strikes me as ridiculous that a curriculum about how to use the internet to learn would be summed up by: "Google, Wikipedia." Maybe the author is sacrificing too much depth here and I'm missing the overall

Being "friendly" and "well-liked" sound like the kinds of goals children would come up with on their own because they crave attention and positive reinforcement, not what adults should be teaching them.

by tboyd47 7y ago
"How to be a friendly, well-liked person" is not a "social skill." "How to use the Internet to learn: Google, Wikipedia." This is "learning about learning" to you?

It's not strange, it's laughably pathetic. This is how they want consumers to feel about 5G- bursting with anticipation and begging our corporate overlords for it.

Some chairs cut off circulation or physically block proper posture. When so much "ergonomic design" is counterproductive, as the article details, it's worth it to be selective w/r/t equipment.

by tboyd47 7y ago
The chair looks awesome but unfortunately it's only 1/4 of the problem. Schools need to change desks, keyboards, and the equipment itself, too.

Hey man, I really like the research you're doing on HN. Thought about starting a blog?

There's also the hiding-in-plain sight explanation that C was just easier than Lisp for English-speaking people to learn and use because, like English, it's SVO instead of VSO. Then object-oriented languages overtook C for the sam

Thanks. I was looking for more info on this extremely strange case. It's hard to find after the gag order.

I skimmed the article (it's quite long) found the criticisms weak. > No data published; for Szmigielski (1996) it is implied that there were two to three brain tumors in the exposed group, in which case we imply that the 95% CI for

Agreed. The "correlation != causation" mantra does not match the context here. It's true that correlation studies are not as conclusive as laboratory experiments in general, but when we're talking about negative long-ter

Thank you. The sheer volume of blatantly false comments on this thread is astounding to me.

It's not a solution looking for a problem. The problem is that the existing infrastructure does not support network slicing. Without network slicing the telcos are severely limited in their pricing models. "5G" is just them t

This comment is utterly false. Just after a brief glance at the paper, I found a study on showing a 2x increase in cancer on a sample size of over 1,000,000 humans.

Well, it might be unsophisticated of me to belabor my point, but it doesn't take a genius to see that there are major technical drawbacks with 5G, and the industry has not been successful in convincing consumers to buy into the hype. T

Right, so far we've learned: 1) 5G improves wireless internet - though it only works over short-range and can't go through walls. 2) 5G needs a massive deployment of new devices to reach consumers - though most consumers are not w

Are you aware of any longitudinal studies on the effect of wireless internet (or even electricity in general) on human health to prove your point?
