Everything is noticeably more expensive than it was 15 years ago, though.
What are you calling "extremist terrorism"?
Looks like it's back up. Still, this seems like an absurd absurd amount of issues recently

For what it's worth, I remember coming across this claim a couple years ago about AWS on HN. I don't think it's fiction, it's possible that their PR has scrubbed these allegations from the internet.
Oh yeah, I agree with you. It just raises the question, is it even possible to find security related companies that won't cave to US pressure?
Huh, I frequently see advice online that says to use VPNs based in countries that are not one of the "fourteen eyes"/"five eyes".
Real answer? Buy proprietary data from social media companies, credit card companies, retail companies and train the model on that data.
Well, to be blunt, it's because there are billion dollar pharmaceutical companies that want to keep making money off of these drugs, with around 20% of adults taking anti-depressants at any given time.
Irving Kirsch, psych professor at Harvard, wrote a book called "The Emperor's New Drugs" which argues that antidepressants are basically just placebos. I haven't read the book but I have seen a lot of interviews and…
Facebook will hand over your data to the government without a warrant. These billion dollar companies have become another way for state to surveil us.
They're only subject to large fines if those laws are in place and actually being enforced, though. Companies keep getting away with these huge data breaches in the United States with almost no real consequences.
Internal Family Systems therapy is a form of therapy that uses the idea of different "parts" of ourselves, and postulates that we can heal these different parts of ourselves by accessing an inner source of compassion…
I don't think this is true about brain chemistry or that ADD is a life-long disability. Just speaking from experience here, I was diagnosed with ADD as an adult in my mid-20s and then started using IFS therapy (parts…
I've found it to be really helpful with refactoring code but not solving an entire problem.
Those hyper-competent nice devs can turn incompetent engineers into competent ones, though, and have such a huge impact on work culture that they bring everyone else up with them too. A lot of incompetence can just be…
Saving, thanks! And great point.
Something that helped me dramatically in this area was picking up a new hobby, purely for fun, with no expectations about getting "good" at it or winning any praise or accolades - for me, this was dance. It's taught me…
This is great advice, saving, thanks!
>Sugar is the biggest threat to weight loss because the calories from sugar go straight to fat, and the sudden increase in high glycemic index input triggers an insulin response, which makes you feel like a yo-yo…
Military recruitment intentionally targets poor and working class small towns where people don't have a lot of career choices.
Is it just me or do the "Concerned Home Office Associates" not sound like they actually work at Walmart? I talk to the workers at my local Walmart and they don't refer to themselves as "associates", or care enough about…
Yeah, they never intended a full democracy. Initially only white men who owned property could vote (6% of the population when the United States was founded…
That's actually not true, and that's a really big assumption to make without evidence or direct experience. Radical activists today still face state suppression. I know of a communist in Austin who had an FBI file…
Let's not act like the United States was a shining example of freedom and democracy before WWII, either. Slavery, destroying indigenous people and taking their land, followed by oppressive laws targeting black and…
