I agree with your points. But governments around the world frequently demonstrate that they can be easily compromised. That's why free speech is an important counterweight to political power. I credit all those who openly spoke out aga

Yes, they being a doctor matters because it is a filter for someone who engages with scientific material and their opinion is more valued than some rando crackpot. That said, what are your credentials? Perhaps I'm enganging some rando

What do you all think about the "Solve It" method by the Answer dot AI folks? It's more like iterating on the REPL with AI in the loop, meaning the user stays in control while benefitting from AI, so real growth happens. Inte

Perhaps the reason people keep repeating it is that someone makes the statement without any reasons, provides an alternative again without any reasons. "Why are you not using docker to sandbox your code?" "Umm.. someone on HN

Privacy is a big deal for many, especially if you grew up before the age of telemetry everywhere. For now, a privacy preserving chromium fork will do, until hopefully the Ladybird project is mature enough to provide alternatives

Firefox doubled down on using/selling user data for advertising purposes, so that's a big reason for avoiding it. I held onto it as someone who didn't even like the politics of the people behind it (the beauty of open source)

Statistics show that kids brought up with both parents have much better prospects in life. The decision to have kids should be a deliberate commitment between the parents, not some kind of lottery where one falls pregnant then decides what
