Wow, there are now 194 listed Cognitive Biases. The number keeps growing. It is an awful sign for a scientific community when they are working on a theory that includes 196 different exceptions and adjustments that have to be made in order

Nope, that needs to be solved in SMTP. Unfortunately, JMAP only replaces IMAP/POP. I have personally been working on a new protocol that replaces both IMAP and SMTP. It's not ready yet, but the solution turns out to be quite e

The way I see race actually agrees with you, but the issue is that "white nationalists" DO see themselves as a race and ethnicity: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_nationalism It's in the first sent

What are some useful use-cases for this? I can already use JSON in Sqlite by doing parsing in the client outside of the Sqlite API. Any examples where I'd want to use this instead? I'm guessing for where clauses in queries, perha

Because their only revenue is selling licenses of Resilio to corporations, and my hunch is that's a hard sell. I might be wrong. Maybe they can compete with dropbox by being cheaper!

Part of the problem is that hospitals don't disclose prices before performing services. So patients must agree to a procedure -- yet only afterward find out how much it costs. That price can be shocking, and the patient never agreed t
