Agreed. Less karma than you, but I've been on the site for 12 years and still can't downvote...

This tweet is sort of misleading, the docs suggest this is basically them using an API to provide AI features: https://help.dropbox.com/view-edit/privacy-settings-dropbox-... > You…

Everyone knows what they are doing when gambling etc But nowadays crypto is being pitched as an investment to the layperson who doesn’t understand the risks and isn’t being told th…

This is just another dark pattern. All you need is freezing, it’s instant to freeze/unfreeze and required to be free by law. They just hide the option on the site and make it seem …

(parent author) Thanks for everyone's responses. I think there are some solid examples that folks provided that definitely give me something to mull over.

Yes I know that traditionally media has been used for propaganda, but I'm surprised by the reactions in this thread and those who find what seems like fairly objective reporting as…

Or we disallow its use so it can’t be prescribed and instead the Dr gives them Paxlovid.

Headline is a bit misleading, the important conclusion is near the end: “Bloom thinks the researchers make a good case that molnupiravir treatment is yielding some highly mutated v…

What are you heating with specifically? This is an important distinction to make. By omitting it your original comment seems to be purposely touting a lack of concern for personal …

He doesn't actually say that in the letter, that is just the journalist's phrasing: https://www.tcifund.com/files/corporateengageement/alphabet/...

He was likely referring to HQ in Verona, Wisconsin. I've been there, can confirm it sure looks like the middle of nowhere :)

Though this is a common issue, it is certainly bothersome when someone _wrongly_ assumes you are experiencing the XY problem and demands a lot of unnecessary information before hel…

There are societal reasons why this won’t be accepted by the public. It’s sort of analogous to allowing the rich to pay for a higher spot on an organ donor waitlist, in theory it i…

If you can pay for an alternative I’d strongly consider it. Blown insulation makes a mess of the attic. Makes it really hard to work up there if you need to get access, potentially…

Same issue for me, I'm on Chrome Version 104.0.5112.79

Regardless of whether or not it is sentient, the conversation he shared is incredible: https://cajundiscordian.medium.com/is-lamda-sentient-an-inte...

Any particular strategy you used? I do think a “small” loan of a million dollars feels at odds with “self made”.

Anecdotally, in the last year it seems I run into a lot more distracted drivers on their phones. Generally when I see someone driving erratically, not maintaining speed, swerving, …

In the case of a multi-user machine, e.g. in a library, you expect there to be low privilege users with filesystem access. This bug introduces a way for them to do privilege escala…

No almost never. That’s the job of the CI build. If the code doesn’t even run then it should be caught by the tests. If there are no tests that would catch it then they must be wri…

It’s often used as a short term medication for aggressive gastrointestinal inflammation: https://www.massgeneral.org/children/inflammatory-bowel-dise...

Yes, juvenile rats respond better to tickling and tickling just after weaning will get the best results. Starting tickling past 3 months of age is harder and there is less research…

Sounds like your market value is ~100k, because that is your top offer. If you show them your top offer and they won't match it, well nothing else will convince them either. Person…

Unfortunately the lead researcher just passed away: https://www.kcl.ac.uk/news/in-memory-of-professor-john-hermo... The actual clinical trial looks promising though: https://www.is…
