Passive investing is a fairly new phenomenon and we don’t actually know if it works long term. The premise of the stock market is that it’s a market. Blind and wide investment goes against the principles of how…
Plenty of people grow up in apartments in cities and live great lives. Often, they enjoy greater autonomy as they age into adolescence. Suburbs are basically prisons for children these days. The truth is you don’t need…
Ah yes, the law. Famously followed by every party, especially on the internet. Riddle me this, if a shady company not even headquartered in the UK sends you a newsletter you didn’t willingly opt in to, what happens to…
Sure but literally everyone and their mom said these features were needed and then Go team said "nuh uh!!!" But, as it turns out, they are needed because they solve real problems, and are not just fake complexity like…
Changing your mind is not gaslighting, people just change their mind sometimes.
I mean, it's kind of an insurmountable obstacle. Why bother trying to unsubscribe when you're always gonna get spam anyway? It's just gonna come back. Also, websites are shady. If you put in a required email, they'll…
On Android with notification categories it is, but iOS doesn't have that. Also, I think it's mostly a trust system. But Uber in particular does actually do it right, and you can just turn off promotional notifications.
You would think, but the world is not generally just. Often evil and even incredibly stupid people do quite well. Companies and stuff can run off of life support or reputation alone for a long time. And, often, running…
My understanding is that exercise lowers chronic inflammation. Basically, you trade off acute inflammation during the exercise itself for less inflammation when you're not exercising. But, maybe long distance running is…
No, it definitely does. Features like disparate refresh rates are very difficult to implement in X11 so they weren't. Bear in mind we have exactly one modern X implementation, x.org, and it's very hard to add new…

Americans have not been divided on immigration, this is a conservative revisionist history thing. For the past couple hundred years, everyone has agreed that immigration, as a concept, is a net-benefit for America. What…
Oh I don't embrace the sickness at all, I'm just pointing out that Charlie Kirk most definitely did embrace the sickness. He said it himself, many times and in many different ways. If you have a problem with that, take…
I agree. Fat, salt, and sugar taste good because they are, in a sense, good for us. For the entire history of humanity, the more of that you can eat, the better. This stopped being true less than 100 years ago.
There really aren't though. The reason there's only three is because memory is a commodity and margins are historically very low. It's not a very good business to be in, generally. In the past when memory supply was…
Well I think most investors are dumb as rocks. I'm not sure most even know what a transformer is, or what LLM stands for. Same thing with blockchain. I talked to many, many non-tech people who were very excited about…
So you... weren't... asking genuinely. You already came to a conclusion and just wanted to argue. Even if it's "secretly" #2 for most people, is that even unreasonable? It's so bizarre to me that people are acting like…
There's very few manufacturers, I believe 3 globally? And there's a large moat. Nobody can compete with them in the next 10 years. It's really not hard to coordinate action between 3 companies.
No, we know that eating less saturated fat and replacing it with unsaturated fat, such as those found in seed oils, can reduce your risk of CVD as much as statins.…
Right, but that should probably be a red flag. I mean, we put sugar in everything because it makes everything taste awesome and, yeah. There's nothing wrong with using beef tallow or bacon fat in your cooking…
Which, to be clear because some people legitimately believe in this diet, this is bad for you. Diets high in animal fat cause heart disease, and eating this much red meat without fiber is going to cause gastrointestinal…
Colorings and fillers are not that bad for you. You, and other, are missing the forest for the trees here: diets high in fat, sugar, and calories lead to heart disease and metabolic syndrome. Replacing "seed oils" with…
How is this a strawman? To quote Charlie Kirk, "I think it’s worth it. It’s worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God…
He's not me, but from our understanding it reduces suicide as he explained. Also, you pulled the 95% number directly out of your asshole. Most people don't give a shit if someone gets hormones prescribed by a doctor.…
The "purely political" reasons is that nobody wants to work on X.org implementation. Which, I guess, is technically political? Maybe? But it has real world consequences. Like okay yeah we could all just stick to X. But…
