I mean I go to gigs of people I like, it's not hard to work out if someone is real if they're on stage/meeting up with fans afterwards

Rather than an existential threat, I could see it becoming it's own genre rather than infecting every other genre - when in the future people collectively realise it's kinda bad but has it's place as an almost retro aesthetic

I love the combination of Posteo and Bitwarden. Any email I use has a "+random letters and numbers" generated for that entry to combat spam. If I need better privacy separation, I have my main email with my name, then an alias wit

Obviously this will never happen, but what do you think about a system where there's a "media" fund from the government that gets distributed to several independent media outlets? The decision on who and how much to fund gets

I also think this could be a symptom of an economically unequal society (which creates a higher range of x), and is a big reason why it's important to fix it, on top of the extra money to the state. So thats essentially communism right

Yeah, it's just fun to find creative ways to say common things!

You could kill a stray! Or is it better to have someone else handle that "natural" part, or would the animals have to be brought into life on a farm to be eligible for killing?

What does looking elsewhere mean? Like not software, or not computers?

It's also worth keeping in mind whilst soy is the 3rd highest, 80% goes to livestock.

I was coming out of Barcelona on a train to France on the 18th, and through the window spotted a blacked-out quadcopter just hovering quite high over the tracks. No incidents happened in that area of Spain though so I'm wondering why i

I do believe in determinism. I see what you mean by being able to consider the worth of harming something for your own gain. But doesn't this apply to all animals? If a bear was hungry I'm sure they would happily eat you, but they

That's kinda ridiculous to think we're not animals anymore, our nature is to use intellect for survival (and though we know we can reduce suffering further we choose not to).

It's honestly very scary, and if people aren't on their phone, they have something masking the outside world and blasting noise into their ear.

I have come to believe that consciousness is the fundamental state of the universe, and the brain is simply a filtering mechanism to the "real world", lots of papers show that on psychedelics, where the observer is seeing/fee

Yep, slowly moving pieces of AOSP to closed source and now silence on putting out any AOSP releases, in the name of simplifying their development..

So we've got bots automatically saying they're not bots, whilst humans still have to use their finite time on this world to manually confirm they are alive? Ok.

Musk has said a lot about getting badly bullied at school, those bullies were probably bullied at home as well :/

Yeah I suppose so, most comments on this kinda thing are not really discussing the technology in a vacuum. I imagine it's due to the quite cynical nature of HN at this particular time period where society is fundamentally shifting, in

Thanks man I appreciate it! Right now I don't really have things to talk about with people locally, so trying to expand that skill mainly. If you did wanna talk about anything then of course let me know, it is certainly challenging fin

So what did it suggest?

There is truth in saying working harder does seem to generate more luck, in so far as, if you lay in your room all day and did nothing, you won't be getting any luck. It's just silly to paint yourself as this hard worker that got
