I feel like the thing eroding away in this case is a blocker, a friction. Think of a river cutting a path through the mountains.

I imagine they are only buying one copy of each book, thus only significantly affecting the supply of books that were already unfathomably rare. That may still be bad, but doesn't really support the "scan every book you can get yo

As someone above entry level but with an atypical employment history, it's very rough out there. Went through the whole interview process with a company, was told in both the technical and culture fit interviews that I was "the st

For an exhaustive search, if you can explain to me: - how to exhaustively list the cases that need to be checked, and why that method is exhaustive - how to check each case, and why that works and then conclude with "we've had a c

Going from an 80% to a 90% failure rate means the success rate halved; that's a pretty big change in my book.

Not having heard of this plant before, I was rather confused why people would leave so much footwear on this trail.

That sounds great! Maybe not so great for the occasional person sentenced to death for selling weed, but that's just the price of freedom.

I could not give less of a shit about counterfeit goods, but of course for safety there understandably are rules and those rules should be enforced. In general, though, Aliexpress has a lot of goodwill with me; I buy stuff from there with s

Confused readers may note that EGS refers, I think, to the Epic Games Store, and not to EroGameScape (which does not run a marketplace)

Human refrigerator as in a machine that refrigerates humans, not a human that refrigerates things, as I had erroneously assumed.

Another example: my partner is left-handed, I am right-handed. We dabble in instruments together; we have a right-handed bass guitar, and an electronic drum kit we set up in a traditionally left-handed way. Both very doable, but there'

The article searches hard for an evolutionary explanation for why right-handedness specifically would be favored, but I think it suffices to find a reason for most people to have the same handedness, and then right-or-left can just be a coi

I think "act like it's ridiculous" is pretty hyperbolic here. I didn't know what ARIA stood for until now (though I knew what it was). You'd be surprised how many people barely know it exists... I was a TA for my un

It's illegal to have navigation in your vehicle tell you there's a camera coming up in France, enforced and punished by high fines (I moved here from NL which has no such law).

I can check again when I get home but I'm fairly sure I didn't enable that when it prompted me for interests when signing up.

"just like the bad-thing-doers of old, today's bad-thing-doers believe what they're doing is actually good" is a keen insight in itself when broadly applied, but useless for distinguishing bad things from good things.

And how does that experience shape your views on the uncritical adoption of AI technologies?

I imagine myself switching over to that pretty quickly if I do stick with the platform (I also use YouTube that way) but that doesn't address the discovery problem. It's just really sad that you give people a platform to say whate

Inspired by another recent post on ATProto I signed up for bsky, but all I see is endless American politics. I relentlessly click "less like this" but it doesn't seem to budge. Is this just what the platform is like? Being co

It depends on your threshold for normal but the guy has maybe 1/100k strange IQ while holding 1/50 strange beliefs. No matter how weird your beliefs are it'll never make you as abnormal as an Einstein or someone who's 27

It's a mixed bag. I personally wish I had access to medication (but don't have the emotional energy fighting that fight with the medical system and getting rediagnosed in my current country) but amphetamines are unobtainium here t
