I mean clearly youtube has poor control if a group of some sorts does an attack on a specific user to lower views. With that said I just watched Timothy Nguyen's video about Eric Weinstein this weekend and it just confirmed everything

I have lifted for 35+ years now. The only thing I don't like is how popular powerlifting has become. Everyone I know that has been into powerlifting for a long time including myself is paying the price with disc herniation, bad knees,

Spot on. I stopped using social media because I was sick of having this critic in my brain constantly judging if an experience is worth posting on social media. Of course this is a huge trade off with not knowing what my elderly neighbor at

People still think it is 15 years ago that it took a week of tinkering to figure out how to get sound from your sound card. I just don't care enough to become a linux missionary/priest though and try to get people to switch. I can

I have no idea what you are installing or if you are talking about the year 2005. KDE Neon in 2021 on SSD takes me about 15 min to reinstall completely with no configuration.Everything just works. It is easier than Windows. I barely even kn

Yea I think this is a bit harsh. I don't think it is quite such a trivial task to figure out when a FPV drone has such degrees of freedom. It can basically change to any direction at any time. Then the known space is the air in the roo

There are no options obviously. I am fully vaccinated, if you offer me a booster I will take it. If you offer me whatever, I will take it. At that point I have done all I can do. If someone wants to stay in a bunker because things are beyon

Honestly, Hunter Biden's art is quite good. I think that attack is foolish really. There are all kinds of crazy prices being paid for collectables right now.

I mean I am fully vaccinated and ready for a booster even if offered but these attacks on skepticism are crazy. Are we looking to go back to medieval times that skepticism is not tolerated and have some digital version of the Pope that acts

As someone who hasn't used social media in 5+ years, what do these social networks need to do to make you quit using them? There has to be some threshold but I just don't understand how this threshold hasn't been crossed for

He also thought we would soon be able to completely control the weather. To me, his thoughts on the weather are some of his most interesting things to read just from the fact even someone with the brain power of Von Neuman could be utterly

The killer app of VR has always been virtual sex. We have made no progress towards this. You can't do reality with just sight and sound. I suspect a 100 years from now people will look at us talking about the metaverse and virtual real

I am just not sure people are more educated at this point. For sure not kids graduating high school this year. We have the technology that anyone can take classes at the best schools ever created by humans for free but the average person wa

I think this is exactly the spot audio books come in. When I am driving in the car, cutting the lawn, walking for exercise..I am "reading". I make time to walk 50 min a day without exception and you just rip through books if readi

From talks I have watched, China is dumping money into quantum computing because Jian-Wei Pan and his team are genius. I don't think China has the same problems we do that people are worried about "hype" and all this nonsense

I quit smoking cigarettes 10 years ago and social media 5 years ago. Once you are addicted you forget how good life is without. You don't notice how much of your behavior has changed to accommodate your addiction until you quit. I have

WeWork reminds me of listening/watching Real player audio and video podcasts in 1997 on psuedo.com . It was basically a podcast channel for hip 90s NYC culture. They got the idea totally right but the timing totally wrong. Psuedo filed
