But that has never not been true in every time and in every place. Why get existential dread about it now?

Thank you to both of you for the humility shown in this discussion.

Check out “Get Out of your Mind and Into Your Life”. Helped me immeasurably.

I’d actually welcome that. I spend exactly 15 minutes a day on it, and getting rid of the old site would be just enough to cut the cord forever.

Not yet. But it will.

But governments have improved, and improved radically over the years. And the advantages of small groups over individuals are so comprehensive they have been a primary source of evolutionary progress in humans. I'm not sure Friedman kn

No. No no no. Parents already have thousands of commercial and social interests trying to steal a child’s attention. You can’t possibly expect an overworked and criminally exhausted parent to come home from work and “fight the good fight” a

Because your refusal to wear a seatbelt presents no risk to others. But vaccine refusal does present a risk. So the stakes of the game are not the same.

Agree. I've never used one for longer than it took to briefly click to it to see what it looked like.

You need to learn qwerty. Then you need to learn Dvorak (or in my opinion the far superior Colemak). Then you need to learn to switch between them. It can be done but it’s three separate stages.

And then add kids in to the mix. Is just not possible (despite the baffling downvotes).

I think constant moral judgment can have a chilling effect. But to throw it out altogether is not the solution (it’s certainly not working at 4chan). Claiming that everyone has their own morality is only true in the sense that no two snowfl

I’ve wondered about this too. How many past pandemics has similar mutations? We have no idea. Maybe less. Maybe more.

It’s a thought experiment, not a factual statement.

Maybe it’s just me, but this comment seems so macabre. Like ambulance chasing. “So, lots of people are going to die, but I intend to make some money of it so that’s okay.”

Unfortunately this advice is irrelevant (or suicidal) in many climates. Canada’s prairie provinces are completely unridable for 3-6 months out of the year.

I am flipping through your FAQ, and it looks like the only way to log in is through Twitter or Facebook. Are there any plans for a more general OAuth implementation? I'd like users to be able to log in to my organization's website

Is it? We reject this logic in other areas (sexual assault comes to mind). Why is it valid here?

Maybe the more meaningful question is, "Why are poor people often in debt?" And how would we address that?

Perhaps spoofing shouldn’t be trivial? And perhaps they don’t fix that problem for the same reason telcos don’t fix their caller ID spoofing problem?

I wrote ~300 lines of Python in a day and then I passed it to an Okta dev who has spent the last three months trying to replicate it in Okta‘s no code platform with limited success. At first I was interested in the tool, but seeing how long

I wish this was true but I suspect it is not. If Facebook can still have excellent engineers because they pay a ton of money, then so can Zillow.

Full credit to you for this. My only quibble is that "narrow" should be "wide". But all of the rest of your points have been enjoyable to think about and hold a lot of important truth. I believe at the heart of it you ha

I commend your ability to think outside the box, bringing up pregnancy and addiction as answers to the asked question. So I’ll ask a third time, hoping that perhaps finally I can get you to the original asker’s intention: Can you name any d

Sure. But that’s not what they meant. Can you name any drug that, when taken over a short course, has had long term detrimental effects to the person taking it?
478.
by wussboy 5y ago
I think the ask was actually for an approved drug, taken briefly, that caused a delayed death in the person who was taking it. If we’re going to count prenatal effects, we can come up with thousands of examples. This is why pregnant women a

And that strife will be in the real world. The thing about “real” is that it always wins over “virtual”.
