Yes, I was in fact 19. Oh my :) Edited.

I'm gonna speak purely anecdotally, and this is personal opinion. I was born in 82 in France, was 19 on 9/11/2001. It definitely shaped my psyche and world view. You just don't gro…

Hi team! Is there a way AMP could have an opt-out option? (maybe a permanent setting, maybe a per-search trigger) Ideally at user discretion, but I suppose it must be enabled by th…

I concur. Dual Xeon E5-2687W here (2×8 pcores, Sandy Bridge). Turbo 3.8 GHz to 3.4 all cores. [Ebay: ~$300 each, mid 2016] It's still more expensive to buy a brand new Threadripper…

And then came undisclosed sponsorship and that difference blurred more than ever...

That's a very good question. I used to be you. As I said above, my 'secret' was to dissociate 'me' (the body, with an inner child inside) from 'my thinking brain', the overarching …

> even seeing the app icons for notifications on my lock screen can lead me down a nonstop work path I totally know the feeling! I think it's really biological, low-level: - dopami…

That doesn't count IMHO, it's just a couple taps most likely, you're not engaging with the device (it's merely an overkill alarm clock at that point). ;)

The idea is nice, great even, but... No but seriously. Who, in 2020, grabs their phone first thing before hitting a drink, or bathroom, or wash your face or whatever you do when yo…

Ah, don't get me started on Stoicism. It changed my life. Helped me "self-cure" a long nasty trend of seasonal depressions. It's nothing short of a superpower to me, a magical skil…

Ha, interesting!... We have several common answers. I might have put Bolsonaro's Brazil in there, along with a strong authoritarian turn (but the lure of wealth is a strong populis…

If US/EU were to tell the rest of the world, in a typical WWI or Cold War "blocks" style fashion, “you're either with us or with China, i.e. against us!” , how many do you think wo…

Hey, maybe you're right. I don't care that they care to be honest, I mostly care about our future for now. But you ask "why should they care?" Well, I profoundly believe (stressing…

I didn't want to mix topics, but if you're gonna go there... As a European, I wholeheartedly agree. It's not a new sentiment either. The US has grown increasingly hostile towards t…

About China. There's a growing sense that we ("the free world", western countries + usual friends like Japan, Oz, etc) are about to enter a cold war with China, though, following t…

EDIT: please do read crazygringo's thread above, people in there have much more substance that I could in my short/quick write-up above. In particular, palimpsests' view is very cl…

Oh I love that reply. Thank you for that. Great food for thought. You do in effect widen the topic so much, the very axioms underlying my assumptions, and that's extremely valuable…

And I claim, or rather parrot, that it's wrong to think that because words were not spoken or did not exist, the thing they would eventually come to designate ("PTSD") did not exis…

> EDIT: the way some downvote on HN makes me sad. There are many 'trolls' around here (comes with the popularity), who will downvote based on opinion to begin with, instead of writ…

No, it's precisely the same idea. Biology did not change. Perceptions and expression of it did change. It does not mean the inner biological processes are any different, just the w…

I'm sorry but this has to be the most un-scientific account I've read on the topic (granted, I read few), and it's incredibly misleading. - Humans did not change biologically enoug…

As an investor, $35m to train just about the pinnacle of AI seems like a cheap, oh so cheap cost. I can't even buy 1 freaking continental jet for that ticket, and there are thousan…

Germany lucked out to have such a background of experience as Merkel's to lead the country during such a crisis. Science doesn't come easily to most leaders, unfortunately, as this…

(putting this in comment, I think it's more idiomatic to HN). I think we'll see a revival of MSPs (Managed Service Providers) with a touch of custom-devops. Teams just want to work…
