People who make posts like yours should be required to disclose how far in the red they are in their Tesla short position.

This thread is replete with ad hominems, mind reading, and speculation ("admit it, Musk's bid for Twitter was to unmuzzle Trump". No proof offered though). I'm okay with Musk. If y…

WordStar had a similar fate.

I'm a big fan of Bitwarden and have been a loyal user for years. I'm a convert from LastPass and haven't looked back. I'd say more about it but I suspect there are going to be lots…

Seems like there would be an opening here for DDG to create a separate section (if they're insistent on this disinformation down-rank path) to publish a clear and falsifiable algo …

Here are my favorites that I listen to on a regular basis and can highly recommend: EconTalk (Russ Roberts) Conversations with Tyler Darknet Diaries Security Now Sean Carroll's Min…

Wouldn't it be better to argue why what was heard on Rogan's podcast is wrong, rather than implicitly arguing that all solutions heard on Rogan's podcast are wrong. To me, your res…

This is my experience too. In fact I stopped using todoist due to how it handled recurring tasks - which, like you, is a huge part of how I stay organized. For me, "remember the mi…

Epidemiology and history wasn't as effective as you think in identifying the origins of The Spanish Flu. The origin being Kansas is only one of many plausible theories.

I haven't seen him mentioned in this thread, but I was introduced to the phenomenal drummer Dave Weckl through Chick Corea and his Elektric Band. In my mind, Dave is the best drumm…

This is why I think it's so important that the internet begins moving towards decentralization soon. Much of the censorship and top-down control we're witnessing today will only ge…

What's frustrating is that very many sites know of this method and simply trim the "+uniqueid" from a gmail.com address before inserting it into their database.

Even though I'm not French, not Catholic, not Christian, and have never been to Europe, yesterday I felt this overwhelming sadness and embarrassment about this fire. I was embarras…

Totally share the love regarding container tabs. I don't, however, like how the UI/UX is implemented. In particular, the management of containers -- why do I have to dig so deeply …

I'm not racist and, as you would expect me to say, have over the years made several close friends of widely-varying races. (As an aside, isn't it part of the problem that I even ha…
