My proposal for step 1 -- Allow people to "ban themselves" from certain social media for certain period. Every platform/app MUST support the ability to set limits on usage for all time periods (hour/day/week/mo

It's more than that, some of us actually believe in a thing called "good work." The idea that powerful manager saying untrue things shouldn't be contradicted may seem like "obviously correct" to you, but actual

Today it's discord, we just don't call it social media because it's private by default with no intent to force you into a networking & self-disclosure hell hole

That's not true at all, that's a weird generalization that's patently false. Take things like even certain physics propositions (e.g. discovering new particles) -- can take billions of dollars building a new reactor and years

That's not right, a negative study often still can give evidence that something is true, but it just didn't meet the p=.05 threshold.

> but far less strong evidence about its actual effects. Yeah, but we shouldn't take absence of evidence as evidence of absence. The fact is that it's just really really hard to establish a causal relationship, even if it'

What the literature definitely finds is that CBD ratio is crucial for anxiety (higher CBD = less anxiety). Some of the first lab experiments were pure THC and quite intense/unpleasant relative to what you'd get from a plant natura

I wonder if they're doing these studies, finding no significant effect, and just dropping them.

Not as a defense of Kramnik's behavior, but Naroditsky's death was determined not likely to be suicide: probable cardiac arrhythmia tied to systemic sarcoidosis, with methamphetamine/kratom as contributing factors.

I think it's phrasing and the phrase "damn parasites" that makes it far-right. The idea of changing immigration policies is not unique to any political party. However the quote isn't that, it's trying to stir up an

You were the one who brought my experience, you were wrong. You can stop publicly embarrassing yourself at any point. I'm done reading it either way.

Interesting https://hormuzstraitmonitor.com/ says we're at 8% of normal traffic. Curious as to the discrepancy.

I think this is an interesting thesis that could have been expressed in 100-200 words.

I mean dude, most of us did high-availability before kubernetes existed. Kubernetes didn't solve any unsolved problem, it just moved it from a gui to yaml. You just used a load-balancer (an AWS one preferably) with a few machines behin

I used to be critical of almost everyone who used it. Now that I've been learning the ecosystem for a couple years, I'm not as angry about it, and it doesn't affect me as much personally. I still think almost all of my compla

I sure hope so. I think the only thing I actually have any concern about is phones and social media use for kids, and I think that has a much easier solution than any sorting of tracking-BS.

are you kidding? there will always be a million porn sites not hosted in the US that everybody will have access too. This sort of pedantry is really just supporting the opposition.

Sure here's one example of decentralizing it -- it's going to be overly simple just as a toy example to show how easy it could be: Whenever you want to prove your adult you go to "am I an adult.gov" and you use your cred

I dunno, feels a bit pat to me, a bit business-school. I think the how/what/why distinction sounds fun "Look! 3 roles at the company may align with 3 question words!" but doesn't seem to really hold water the more I

Yeah I read the article and I saw that. And I do think there is a way to use kubernetes with minimal damage, but it requires making firm rules about not focusing on things that aren't needed yet (e.g. istio) and making firm hiring choi

Here's my conspiracy theory -- There's a certain type of engineer (maybe 25% of them) who does "hype-driven-development." No matter the technology, they are huge advocates for the technology. The hype may be absolutely r

I feel like the title needs to be clarified -- the premise of this article is that they also found people with 25-50m who were causing corruption. So it should be called "Some Multi Milloinaires are corrupt too!" Doesn't mean

It's exhausting that the "solution" to problems like this is getting tens or hundreds of thousands of citizens stressed until enough public attention gives some small chance of redress. I'm not calling for violence, but

Not as bad as "considered harmful" imo but still mildly toxic. I think the point is taking one rando's personal preferences (I'd prefer we swap the order of A and B) and trying to make it sound like something more than i
