Yes, it’s either their lies or US government’s lies, or the industries and other billionaires that own the governments.

I was head-hunted a while back from Wayfair, and I felt that it was too good to be true: 1. high pay for remote work, 2. small teams, and 3. working on interesting tech (I think it was an AI furniture preview, like Amazon has). I ultimatel

Clickbait. I have taken a lot of these in the past, and the label "pseudoscientific" is unwarranted. The "writer" cherrypicks and generalizes data to discount it, but if you want to understand the mechanism of, say, Ash

Amazon has a 30 day return policy. Temu has a 90 day return policy. And Temu is generally cheaper.

Government lies, aka statistics, conveniently ignore the cost of high quality items when doing averages. If you are buying eggs as a health conscious person, you know not to buy $1/dozen eggs any more because industry producers have ma

But you will be happy once you're sufficiently medicated via the patented delivery mechanism of antidepressant pharmaceuticals in industrial agriculture... :)

The US Department of Veterans Affairs is spending a lot more than that to switch from their in-house healthcare system to Cerner. It is not going well.

How dare they breathe the air and spread their highly transmissible virus, like has happened for eons! Then again, why would you choose to breathe in their sickness? Were you not wearing 3 masks and keeping 3 meters distance? Did they make

Make that 199,999,999 paid subscribers, as I am leaving Spotify, and completely ditching the eternal subscription models. Who's with me? Can we get a post now about setting up Lidarr and making your own Plexamp server for family and

It's a shame that Google is so good at hiring top talent, and even better at under utilizing them. The company had a hypomanic vision of greatness by throwing everything to see what stuck, and still can't get a new idea that is p

Reminds me of the Blood Flow Restriction / Kaatsu method [0], which I've added in my own routine and had great results with lower weights and less pain. I regularly do BFR negatives and see great results, given I spend very little

Lucky. I am the same way, stable job, high pay, and very rewarding, although I think if I were to be honest, and know my own worth, I'd know I was being short-changed both in my pay and fulfillment, versus working for myself. But to

Have you tried seeing a psychoanalyst, or otherwise delving into the meaning of dreams/nightmares? "What you resist persists."

These are the constraints in employment: high compensation, fulfillment, or stability. You can pick one, maybe two. If you want a meaningful and stable job, choose to work in a stable industry (such as Federal Government), and forego the

Good point. Tapping into our strategic oil reserves is helping a little bit. Of course that, in a way, is a long-term price hike (when/if we ever replenish them). It's like taking out a loan.

It's comical if you're the court jester, but to most of us peasants, this is horrible. Our worst fears are coming true. The system is failing, but it's too big to fail.

The "space" for a cryptocurrency is a Venn Diagram solely occupied by one circle: Bitcoin. We're seeing a culling of these shitcoin also-rans, which took the money from the late-coming naive while enriching the early wave of

TikTok is a national security threat. It’s more than just hubris.

^ This person gets it. The "overton window" in American politics is narrow enough that we essentially have a de facto uniparty, that agrees on everything except what matters. About 40% of the country is Independent but we pretend

The amount of death and destruction that the recession/depression is expected to cause to certain parts of the third world is tantamount to genocide. For those of us in the "laptop class", sure, we will be impacted adversely

Like most things made in China, COVID-19 was poorly engineered, just like their ham-fisted approach to combating it. Something about totalitarian regimes causes a race to the bottom in human rights, arts, and sciences.

Presumably this will be used to disguise the ensuing mass starvation as Covid deaths.

The best way to "detect" would be to, obviously, read it. So yes, this is surveillance, and just because you have good intentions doesn't mean you're not wrong.

That TLDR should be on every so-called physician's office, especially in America. Actual healthcare is your own duty. Most physicians are there for medicine/testing, which are both for-profit, and they are not incentivized to keep

There is a large, whiny portion of HN who were so severely injured by the COVID-19 fear porn that they uncritically consumed that they see viruses in their sleep still, two years later. It’s quite sad.

I didn't sign up to be a lab rat, and it was a 3 day head cold when I caught Omicron on NYE. But I also paid close attention to the independent research and followed the advice of my doctors to improve my health (as measured by Vitami
