You've never had "the experience". I'll share mine. Unusual severe one sided eye pain. Go to regular doctor's, explain, get told it's a "stye" and do hot compresses. Problem gets worse, I go to urgent

Thank you for sharing. How do other people you know feel about them? Do you see them get vandalized or messed with?

And what is your proposed cure? You and your preferred proxy get to limit the marketplace to ideas you agree with? Perhaps we could jail people who post contradictory ones?

And frequently they are simply contradicted by broadly available evidence. Do the following exercise. In whatever your main field of work is, the thing you are qualified in, go look up and track "fact checked" things. Keep a littl

Have you considered naming your product "InsiderThreat" for clarity in logs?

How does praying infringe on a public space? Does it leave behind wrappers? Hurt the local wildlife? Ruin the watershed? Should we ban people quietly playing musical instruments in public spaces to? Perhaps people walking? Certainly people

Since this contravenes the UHDR which Canada does subscribe to, it likely won't survive court scrutiny. > Everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion; this right includes freedom to change his religion or b

I've been very pleased with omarchy. Most linux distros were "just shell scripts" for 30+ years. Many still are.

Your kids are also growing, espressing much more complex emotions. You have the right goal in your focus, you'll get it with time and practice.

Just practice it. I realize that sounds silly but it really does work. A lot of emotional behavior is muscle like and setting aside intentional practice will lead to longterm change. 1. Set a trigger to engage in the practice like "Whe

The standard will be used, as it was the previous time the IETF allowed the NSA to standardize a known weak algorithm. Sorry that someone calling out a math error makes the NIST team feel stupid. Instead of dogpiling the person for not stro

We're talking about a landmine in a crypto spec and you're bikeshedding about consensus ratios. We should talk about the NSA designed landmine.

Most markdown engines allow short tags to stand in for html, so for frequent features you can just use a short tag. Alternatively you can extend markdown. I wrote a simple text based game engine that was markdown based but I needed some arb

Your entire premise is simply incorrect, through and through. Discard it entirely and begin again. You have a hundred people, they have a GDP of N. Tomorrow, their productivity doubles because of a technological innovation. Your GDP is 2N.

Right, the fines don't matter. What should have happened in the original agreement is that the fed pays for the sewers at a very cheap rate and the municipality does the work and owns it for eg 10-20 years. That's actually a reall

One of the classic roles of the government is to prevent certain unfair business setups. For instance, providers of a service aren't supposed to have agreements to not compete and carve off markets from each other. Likewise price fixin

Or just.. make it easier to not be constrained to app stores. I realize losing that sweet, sweet 30% fee on every transaction hurts their wallet but I think my $1000 phone should be mine to freely install things on.

Texas is either desert or desert adjacent. We have always gotten our water by having torrential rains inconsistently. This doesn't mean don't conserve, be intelligent, etc. But this does mean that your water won't "balan

What the Trump administration canceled didn't right that wrong. What the Trump administration canceled was an agreement for the local county to stop issuing fines, which had already been in effect for over two years. And within those t

I think the "my computer is too complicated" is mostly a Windows issue. I don't think I can pair a bluetooth headset on Windows 10! Folks don't seem to have these problems on macs or their phones.

We had a G5 in 2024 and I believe the only possibly related issue was some cellular infrastructure in Europe (local impact only). Modern technology is significantly more hardened than telegraphs in the 1800s.

I switched my gaming pc to Linux both for reliability and because of about 7-9% improvement in raw frame rates. This depends on the game too obviously. Though having a computer that actually.. just works can't be overstated.

Ableton seems to run under Proton (a compatability layer intended for games) with reasonable-but-slightly-higher-latency of 16-20ms per user reports. This should generally work for games of various origins as well. Extra mouse buttons shoul

So we should bully people for tax revenue? And when some of those people say no? That seems like either a short lived con or very quickly we are bombing people. Why not just literally put a gun to someones head and rob them then? Skip the m

That's trivially false. Ancient people were always working, and we can see this in people who maintain primative lifestyles. Take bread. You start the oven at 4am. By 5am it is hot enough for your meats. By 7am extinguish, by 8am start

Bombing people for more tax revenue seems like the wrong thing.

So the wealthy will do what you and I do: shop for the best rate. That rate will not be where you and I live. It will be some tiny foreign government.
