It could be an indicator that people are less able to cope, and there is some really good causal evidence that social media causes anxiety in young girls.

Subscriptions also come with much increased mental overhead: I have to decide if it is worth the commitment every time the app comes up for renewal. In addition, as the article points out, your price point has to compete with the 10ish doll

You can always hack a computer if you work hard enough. Even the airgabbed Iranian nuclear control facilitices were hacked. What we need to do is keep sensitive data in paper form only, and make people who hold it responsible for its securi

I see tons of ads, sadly. They are everywhere in the public space, stealing attention and pretending to have something valuable to offer.

If you want to open a hair salon, get it registered in a list of businesses. I used Google maps to find nearby hairshops before, and I will probably do it again. If I was in the market for crazy travels, I would look up the destinations or

It may be so for now, but if you can research 1 article an hour with the old method, 10 minutes with an AI and need 4 articles for your essay, then you can either spend 4 hours with no AI, spend 40 minutes with an AI or spend the same 4 ho

Linus from Linus Tech Tips (one of the biggest tech Youtube channels) posts vids where he upgrades his rigs, such as one where he goes through setting up a server that can store a petabyte of videos because they are spending another 100k on

Why would you think it would be created to flatter software engineers, rather than to flatter their users? Many things have been said about TikTok, but nobody has ever said it does not attempt to show the user what will make them stick arou

I would agree with dusted about encoding the state of the game, but if you don't want that you don't need to pay 50 bucks a month for something that simple. 6-12 bucks will get you a more than powerful VPS, and Amazon S3 will be p

Maybe in general, but you can keep developing for a while with no pushing of code. You cannot keep developing without Codespaces if you use them in the first place.

Twitter is now a private company, but that is besides the point, as it would only provide value to whomever owns it people use it, and they only do that if they can get access to what they value. And no, to be amplification, Twitter would h

Yes, I think that might be a good idea. It would normalize sex and make the idea of being ashamed of how we look naked outdated. At a minimum this seems like something that would result in some interesting science papers.

Or we should make some good porn. It baffles me to no extent why there are no instructional videos on how to improve your sex lives. Porn shows unrealistic sex and it’s bad that people learn from it? Then make porn that shows how to have be

That is a really good way to learn something, better than my version which is to implement something using it. I may steal this method.

That's hardly an issue if you think about it: my time, as a student, was significantly less valuable than my current time as a senior software engineer. I can't hire myself in the past, but there are other people who are in other

Doesn't matter. Humans are not going to accept the the massively sustained decrease in living standards that it would require, which means it is not a politically acceptable solution, and therefore not a solution. Whereas spending some

Your LGBT example is misplaced, but the real question we should be answering is: what happens when you make vices illegal. The answer is that the black market provides them, with all the relevant disasters that follow from that. If you want

Caring about races is very new, but Jews have been the subject of anti-semetic attacks for at least a thousand years, probably twice that.

Not op, but: We didn't try to take the debate, or even much acknowledge tradeofs. These were written of as "allow grandma to die", but if we accept that the period of 18-24 is crucial for adults to find themselves, then we es

No literally the opposite. Instead of having to create blockbusters that appeal to everybody and therefore none at all, we can create stuff that appeal to smaller audiences and try new things. If you are the type of person who complains abo

I assume that anybody who needs to indoctrinate people into their believes has believes that they cannot justify rationally.

If you need to indoctrinate somebody with a certain belief from an early age, then your belief must be so poor that it cannot be used to convince adults, so how can such an action be justified?
