I agree. But how do you stop a foreign actor from doing the abuse? I think this is where we need to lay the responsibility at the feet of the social media networks that allow this to happen.

Agreed. I can’t stand this rhetoric of “I can think of a way this reasonable and useful policy might possibly be abused so let’s throw the entire thing in the trash. I refuse to mitigate any harm or accede to any policy unless it’s perfect!

I spent weeks trawling Amazon for a butter dish that was explicitly listed as handling a Canadian block. Finally found one and never looked back.

So this invention which could remove a significant portion of human suffering is being squatted on? And because it is patented no one else can remove this suffering either?

That’s fantastic. Did you come up with that?

Check out Django-Zappa. It’s Django that runs in a Lambda.

Violence may be seen as legitimate, but it shouldn’t be seen as effective. In a study of over 300 movements, non violent protests are twice as effective. https://www.belfercenter.org/sites/default/files/legacy

I thought it was fine and my late-40s eyes had no difficulty.

I didn’t find the argument compelling. It was essentially “Donating to charity removes the urgency around removing the real problem: capitalism.” But whether or not capitalism is the problem is not decided. If it was decided, whether or no

I remember devouring articles off of HardOCP in the late 90s where people would hook a piezoelectric plate up to the CPU and then a water cooler to the plate, allowing them to send the processor below freezing. There had to carefully glue

I don’t get it. I glanced through the article and it appeared to be the same kind of cooler install that we’ve been doing on the Internet for 20 years...

It boggles the mind, doesn’t it? I’d happily pay a month fee for a branded “deluxe” Firefox.

I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again. I would happily pay $10 a month for a brand “deluxe” version of Firefox. We all complain about how Firefox isn’t making money and we continue to exist in a world where I cannot pay for it. It bog

I feel like that particular issue could be resolved with even the most rudimentary reputation system. It’s how humans have solved the problem amongst ourselves. But I agree it will be a problem.

The problem is that if you have two competing products and one has no funding and one has billions in revenue, the one with the most money will tend to dominate. So removing the ad revenue from your own product while not being able to remov

I’m interested. But you’re not the first person to think of this. What do you see as the reasons why other similar efforts have failed? Why will you succeed? I’m not trying to be negative. I’m just strongly of the opinion that making this h

Writing things down lets other parts of your brain know what’s going on. I reach for my notebook a dozen times a day. Often just writing my question down makes the answer obvious.

This is the sort of answer I was looking for. Unfortunately I’m on iPhone. :(

Will power don’t really work that way. Studies show it is an exhaustible resource and if you’re using it all day to fight of pulling your phone out of your pocket, you won’t have it for anything else you do in your day (and you’ll STILL pro

Thanks for your great response. I’ve often considered doing something like this. I wonder if there is a way to accomplish many of these things while still carrying your phone? For example, what if your phone took 5 minutes to unlock? And di

I’ve read dozens of articles like this and my complaint is always the same: “Just because we can’t know everything, doesn’t mean we can’t know anything.” Yes, maybe a buffalo stepped on the thermometer. But the temperature was SOMETHING and

Either he is an extreme genetic outlier (by definition the rarest of the rare) or he exaggerated to enhance his reputation (a trait baked in to everyone and so pervasive we all do it without realizing it). I know which one is more likely.

I think we must be careful to remember that correlation is not causation. I remember reading a website back 10 years ago where someone made the same case except it was the wearing of shoes, not the lack of sunlight that caused all the probl

I would happily pay for a “premium” Firefox experience, even if that premium was only cosmetic. I have received so much value from Firefox over the years that it would be an honour to support them directly. Yes I know I can donate. But I wa

Do you have any evidence for this assertion?

These sorts of comments frustrate me. You seem to take objection to drill being described as "aimless", but clearly the author is using that term to describe his perception at the time before going on to show how it wasn't ai

I second this. Few books have affected me the way The Righteous Mind did. I read it once in 2011 and thought it was cool. On the second reading I became troubled and found myself disagreeing with much of what he said. It wasn't until t
