I’ve been speaking with my girlfriends friends, about the paucity of eligible men in the SFBA. Most of them ask me to introduce them to a nice person. Looks aren’t as important, bu…

I agree in spirit, but a lot of human behaviors, derived from decisions, don’t have consequences. Did Nestle face consequences for their decisions to promote formula, etc?

OTOH, if “we can easily look that up” is never said, it’s likely you’re not asking probing questions. Or that the other side is probably more confident than they should be.

Any chance you had a power meter hooked up? I find it fascinating how much less waste heat we generate per unit of computation.

Welcome to the world of being stereotyped. The gestalt “you” is not what you respond to; it’s what people like you are. Stereotypes exist for a reason. But that reason isn’t optima…

This was my experience as a contractor for the Navy, years ago. We’ve had radar systems that can detect planes after a reflection on another plane, but the software is dogshit. Som…

Many people believe abortion is murder. That doesn’t make it so.

Not everyone agrees that intention is relevant. For me, it’s important to help while minimizing harm and trying to respect the agency and wishes of the recipient, which the fightin…

little of any modern decisions is based on what humans have experienced, historically. We have evolved a set of core emotional firings that do not have much to do with how we live.…

What about this seems reasonable? The positive ROI could easily be overwhelmed by quality of life changes for current residents. Also not clear that this type of tech hq is great f…

They could hash the full password and just store the two characters in clear text, no?

I don’t think it’s clear it would bring in net revenue. Also, the idea of cities bidding for companies, using tax dollars, strikes a lot of people the wrong way. I thought the cons…

I assert it doesn’t affect the legitimacy of the site at all. Also, I don’t think selling cigarettes undermines a pharmacy. I may place less importance on “brand coherency” and mor…

Can you talk a bit about how this felt? As an outsider, it seems like it would be conflicting. On one hand, people profiting off your work without asking. On the other, increasing …

I wonder if ketosis cures your psychosis, or if you started ketosis at a time when your body fixed itself.

Disagree that it’s ridiculous, as the goal of a vegan is to not consume animal products. And by consuming, increase the production by pressing the “demand side” button. For health …

What makes you think this is different? I think this process is baked into the structure of our brains and is part of the inherently biased way our brains operate.

In 2018, google sold 118 billion worth of ads. Parent was saying (I think) that all ads present misleading narratives so google would have to ban all ads.

Many people plan poorly and have to sell collectibles quickly for immediate cash. I know people who buy and sell cars purchased from folks who need money quickly (matter of hours) …

The big brands also have ecosystems of thousands of small businesses that supply and support them.

It’s the milk fat they love! My kitty also goes crazy for coconut oil, which helps with hair balls.

My building has a large posted notice stating (to the amazon logistics people) that this area is monitored by and reported to Amazon’s quality dept. seems to have helped w delivery…

These links are all from 2016 and reference the same leak from FB. Said leaks stressed that these ideas may never be implemented here we are, 3 years later. It sounds to me like FB…

Wait, what? The link you shared didn’t sound like Facebook is even trying to get into China. And the one reference to them building something with the Chinese govt is a link to a l…

Why does it become socialist at age 18? Taxes support up to 12th grade currently.
