In light of recent concerns about hantavirus, but more importantly, the outbreaks of measles popping up because the antivaxxer movement is growing, I am wondering, what, as an adult can I do day to day to ensure that my…

I am acutely aware that if I were targeted by a non sophisticated actor (like a very motivated hacker, or a phone/laptop thief with programming knowledge), I would be toast if they figured out, e.g my windows password,…

Looking specifically for one where new/old ideas in Economics are discussed. Bonus points if accompanied by a company/organization with 'skin in the game'

Do any exist? The closest I can think of is Expo's EAS but I'm currently working with Swift. To be fair I only have 1 issue with ASC, the fact that I have to type my password every time I log in. It is very irritating,…

Mostly thinking out loud here, but this is the best place I know to ask about things like this. Ive been on the internet for a while and one thing that’s stayed consistent are the chat bots. From large social media to…

Not the new AI virtual assistants, I mean those chatboxes that websites have been popping up in your face for the last 5 years that claim to help you with your issue. They feel like the automated voice assistants that…

I noticed this when trying to save a page on github. At first I thought my cookies were forwarded in the archive request, then I noticed that all requests [1] were "logged in" as this user. The profile pic is very…
