I disagree with almost all of your political opinions, and some of your positions I very much hate. But we should be free to have the argument, without the thread of handcuffs or the threat of starvation. Although I use…
20 years ago boredom wasn't a thing and we weren't addicted to screens? No, no. This dopamine-addiction screentime crap has been a thing for several generations. It's what fucked up the Boomers, I think, and it was…
That's a feature not a bug. A few thousand years ago we used to literally set them loose in the wilderness with some wolves for a few years, and it was fun & educational. We understand reason and organization because we…
Yeah, sounds like it's just a rehash / re-compilation of Christopher Tolkien's work. I'll pass.
The claim is "filter-free", but the device also uses an "electromembrane". So... how is that not a filter? Because it's electrified? The selling point of this device is that it doesn't need filter changes in the field.…
Anyone else amused just reading the commit comments?
Well, for starters Gab is banned from the App Store for their near-absolutist stance on free speech. More than that is the general culture of suppression of the "wrong" view of reality. Most people who were merely to…
I use a variant of Emmymade's variant of Maangchi's recipe. It works really well. Rinsed pickle jars work great, a head of Napa cabbage usually fills about 2+1/2 ~ 3 jars. If you're not into high spicy, dial back the…
I showed this to a non technical guy who is trying to learn git. He said he liked the cats but this didn't help him understand it any better.
Article is gibberish. Link to the actual study: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S03767...
Anyone else notice that Calcifediol is the most expensive vitamin-D analogue on the market? What a huge surprise that the study chose that form of vitamin-D specifically.
I'm not commenting on how anyone else does it, or saying that there aren't bad patterns out there. I'm telling the room about a strategy I found that lets me twist the bad into good.
When I interview a candidate, I'm explicitly and intentionally looking at how they respond to stress, how (if) they're able to say "I don't know", and how they communicate complicated ideas. I open with soft-balls to…
It's just red meat for the base. The administration doesn't actually want to restrict immigration, they just know that they were hired to restrict immigration, so they have to appear to be working on that. Notice that…
This mostly shows me what other customers of my VPN in various countries like to download.
Ah well WP is WordPress, of course. Truly an evil thing that we must all apologize for, forever, or until it's perfectly bug-free. As for lolcow, you'll be more entertained if you google it than if anyone explains it to…
Yes, humans eat animals. "Top of the food chain" means something. It means lunch. Delicious lunch. Oh man, now I want a chicken sandwich with bacon on it.
The projection in this article is strong. This is the product of a very alien mind, to me. Intentional signaling is irritating to others, and often self-destructive. I really doubt most people's actions are driven by…
It's worse than the Eternal September. It's definitely more toxic than it's ever been, and people are definitely more polarized. The 2016 election news cycle got a lot of otherwise normal people really radicalized and…
And yet, they are observably evil.

If the combination of high intelligence and high drive generally leads to gaining more wealth, and if those qualities are generally highly heritable, then we should expect rich kids to, on average, inherit their…
It remains to be seen if the methods used by monero, dash, and various zk-proof based coins are enough to prevent de-anonymization when a motivated state actor is involved. Gotta say though, this is one of the few times…
I increasingly think the US should look into adopting something akin to Estonia's voting system. Perhaps with some added zero-knowledge proof layer so that it can be known that all votes were valid, but not exactly who…
