Hilarious customer service experience. Reminds me of comedy by Joe Lycett https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Gkiw7zpULo
Framed !== frameless regardless
I'm pro-cryptocurrency generally, but I'm horrified by the crypto-as-salvation, utopianist narrative coming from some wealthy crypto proponents in denial of their own moral bankruptcy and the problem of human…
If a headline ends with a question mark, you can reliably answer, "no", and save yourself the trouble of reading it.
I wonder how the limits would change if the parameters of the problems were redefined as hypergraphs.
I recently read three peer-reviewed papers comparing the morbidity of COVID-19 vs the flu, and what it came out to was that COVID-19 is roughly 6x more lethal per modern case. I'm afraid I can't be bothered finding the…
Wow. This is a horrendous level of overreach into personal lives. This kind of thing makes me really hope the Chinese govt's influence doesn't increase any more geographically.
As a personal user, I'd give Discord more money if high-resolution streaming and higher bitrates etc. were a bit cheaper, and I could buy credit which using these features ate through, instead of having to pay an overly…
It didn't matter to me that half of the loading messages weren't funny. I could tell from the moment I opened the app that they understood who I was and why I was there. I was there to have fun, and they got me. Now…
It takes significant evolution to just keep doing what you set out to do well. Running a successful mechanics business to repair cars means continuously updating your skills and tools. Eventually you become a flying car…
I have a bad feeling about this. Discord essentially does one thing really well. I don't want to see it go down the way of so many chat platforms trying to be everything and becoming a bloated mess. Recently, they…
Law is buggy
Has never happened != will never happen.
Should they persist in this, if I don't replace my current iPhone with an alternative, I will definitely not buy an iPhone for my next phone. It's a gross overreach and I'd be too worried about false positives.
For me, this crosses a line. There should be no need to "strike a balance" with authorities wanting what are essentially unwarranted searches. The right balance is, "fuck off". I'm looking into privacy phones for the…
I love workflowy for keeping organised, because zooming in and out is fantastic for focus. Dragging tasks up and down lets me prioritize. Managing my todo list also organises my brain and lets me relax knowing I won't…
I challenge this: > whereby they think about themselves, the world, and the future in overly negative and inaccurate ways Is it not possible for 'rock and hard place' depression to be an _accurate_ negativity about the…
Further research is actionable. This is useful encouragement, because absence of correlation implies absence of causation, so this is an efficient way of eliminating one disproof early.
I have been noticing in myself a sense of eroding novelty in all fiction, where every device of comedy and tragedy is becoming a familiarity. I think this is a kind of maturity, where continued fulfillment necessitates…
The technical description of this phenomena is a bit conflicted. It seems to say the differing experiences are probably a result of different people having different visual refresh rates, and then somehow makes a…
Check out Exploding Head Syndrome! I have it. I have only experienced it as a kind of electrical "boom", but the bursts of sound some of you describe sound related, especially since they happen while you are drifting…
I've heard that there are people who think in words, and those who think in pictures, and combinations of the above. If you don't think in pictures, cannot visualize what you will paint, what's your point of reference…
What you're asking is quite specific. Do you desire only to comprehend, or to comprehend in order to solve? For me it tends to be a loop of complex problem which I feel I comprehend, which upon solving turns out to not…
Here's a contemporary example: We can, right now, hold USD equivalents in kava.io . It operates on a system which is analogous to fractional reserve banking, except with no middlemen, so your effective interest rate is…
There seems to be a real under-appreciation by the Hacker News crowd of how profound the use case of cryptocurrencies as simple money is. Perhaps because we have a sample bias towards people who are served adequately by…
