In English, you can say "I'm going to Budapest tonight" or "Tonight, I'm going to Budapest" and it means almost the exact same thing. In Hungarian, you can say "Ma este Budapestre megyek", "Budap

If your interpretation is correct, it seems that there could be some truth to the old wisdom of (gradually and willingly) facing our fears in order to develop more courage.

Extreme agoraphobia probably requires more than just simple exposure to improve. I'd recommend working with a therapist. But one thing I am curious about: during exposure, you don't have access to your frontal cortex, that makes s

Not to mention that physical activity itself can be a great, immediate remedy for anxiety. A daily run does a whole lot for calming my anxiety.

I don't consider $25 for 20GB to be "very high". Of course, you can find cheaper. But $25 is less than a lunch in most places.

Cheap is relative. I pay about $25 for 20GB, which lasts me a month. Yeah, local SIM cards might have cheaper options, but I'm not complaining about $25 a month. I spend more on a single lunch.

I'd say my hometown in middle America is significantly affected by Shit Life Syndrome. Thanks to my career in tech I broke out of that and moved away, but I've definitely had my seasons back at home where I get sucked into the Shi

I'm currently living in a town with church bells every hour and horses that clank by on cobblestone streets at every hour of the day or night. It's unbelievably noisy. But just like modern noise, at some point you stop consciously

I've come to the conclusion that email will never be secure. I've settled for keeping my email data out of the hands of banks and advertisers by using Fastmail, and wildcard aliases. If I were doing any kind of journalism, politic

Stating my opinion about the author's opinion isn't slander. Take it easy. And there's no reason to compare the author and me. We're talking about the opinion here, not about who holds it.

In my experience, some of the most exceptionally skilled and hard working people are from the US, but the average US worker is way behind in skills from almost every other part of the world, and pretty far behind Asia and parts of Latin Ame

It's a pretty privileged mindset to have the luxury to code only for the "right reasons". If you're an employee or a contractor, rather than a business owner or a hobbyist, it's almost a guarantee that you're d

The problem with Jira is that it's not opinionated enough about what using it "correctly" means. Every company I've ever worked for that used Jira had turned it into a giant foot gun.

Yeah I think the results would be different if it were phrased in terms of consequences to the individual: If you choose red pill, you are guaranteed to live. If you choose blue pill, you will die if less than 50% of people also choose blue

My company uses Slack. To me, all it is, is chat. And I barely use it. It's features are moving and changing so fast that every time I use it, things that I need for simple chat have moved. I'm fine with all the innovation and fea

What I mean to say is that it is common sense to a celiac that gluten causes inflammation throughout the body and brain even of non-celiacs. I'm not extrapolating from the study, just saying that the study is concluding something that

I appreciate the clarity in the title that this study was in mice. At the same time, as a celiac, the title is basically common sense and I don't need a study to tell me that this applies to humans. One microscopic bread crumb and I&#x

Is there any argument in favor of commercial websites allowing GPTBot to crawl them? It's not like Google where allowing crawling brings you traffic. In fact, it's pretty much the opposite.

Is the answer you're expecting that journalists are doing something that is immoral? Because that's not it.

You're switching the definition of public from publicly observable to publicly owned. Those are not the same thing.

by yosito 3y ago
Your arguments aren't really rational.

by yosito 3y ago
I don't think that's a realistic expectation, and hasn't been since at least the middle of the last century. Public acts have been in the media for a long long time.
