Do your Human Design profile and see how much it fits. Our society expects everyone to be a Generator (in HD terms) - all people who are not then feel like they're totally weird. In reality, they're just wired differently, and hav

Same here. I had a conversation with friends who said, language influences thinking. I said, no, I have thoughts, and I communicate them with language but the thoughts are not language. Later we spoke about being able to have no thoughts -

It's about control - Huawei was taking over too much tech for the deep state's taste. Deep state is bugging American devices so they have a very good reason to believe the other side is doing the same - evidence or not. Unfortunat

Yes. I love AirBnB and the service it offers. I just like to make fun of the app now and then, because it is overhyped and relatively poor at doing its job. But yeah it could be worse, I would give that app 7 stars out of 10, even though it

For family trips it is unbeatable. Big drama and big $$$ to book 2 connecting rooms in a normal hotel, and the experience is much worse than just getting a nice apartment with kitchen, 2 or 3 rooms, washing machine, etc. IDK how people trav

In the UX community it is indeed very funny to see AirBNB talk so much about their amazing UX, yet the app is very hard to use compared to something ugly and simple like booking.com. It looks good but it is a nightmare to use. They change t

Booking.com has been working amazing for me. For single room, 1-2 people, it's been flawless over probably 100 bookings or more over the last few years. Short term I always use booking since it's less hassle than AirBnB.

The opposite - I was watching MKBHDs review of the solar roof - he was charging his Tesla model S ... using only the roof for 11 months out of 12! That means - total energy independence. I can get a solar roof and no longer need "the g

Yeah - there are many use cases still where EVs are way worse or even totally inadequate. Yours is one. Cold countries is another (sorry Canadians... don't buy Teslas just yet...). EV performance is horrific in cold conditions. But the

It's a new level. Kia, Hyundai (same company I think) are well situated. As are BMW, Mercedes, and obviously Tesla. But... Toyota? Nowhere to be seen, has some also-ran EVs in production. The old American carmakers - absent. VW - been

The better tech always wins in the end. It's a no-brainer. The problem with resistance of the existing auto industry is that if everyone buys EVs the big American carmakers go out of business. GM, Ford, etc have nothing, no technology

This is a massive discovery! It's hard to even imagine the multitude of applications of this.

The only reason for the GDPR is to get more government control on your daily interactions. People are out of their mind to think that governments are working to "protect" them - hello? Govern ment means to rule the mind, mind cont

Alexa... well you paid for this device to spy on you so that definitely should not surprise anyone. I think it's bizarre that people are not only OK with having their house bugged with a device that listens to their every conversation

My hypothesis is a lot simpler: Hacking is much more profitable than preventing hacking. Incentives are heavily biased towards security exploits on all levels. End of story. There's no reward for "your code never got hacked".

Reading the OA, I also believe that there's a wide variety of technical detail that could be the cause of, say, not responding. Maybe the reports get to the tech teams, the tech team figures out that this bug will definitely be caught

Accurate - Engineering at Apple has no tradition of security; nor does it have a tradition of being very efficient. It's mostly based on heroics of some very few very talented developers. Processes that are in place are actively hinder

100% - they got away with it because they were small. Hacking Mac OS was unattractive - whereas, hacking iOS is the most attractive target. High gain, low security. Apple does not have security in its DNA, as is obvious from all these explo

You're underestimating the problem here. For those of us who have awakened to the fact that mainstream media is a giant shitshow that is literally used to brainwash the masses into agendas of unelected powers, this is a major, major is

R.I.P. Medium. It was good to know you. If there isn't a blockchain based censorship-proof publishing platform soon, I will work on one. Promise.

You could also say they have enabled the rise of Baidu and with it a Google clone that is completely under the control of the Chinese government. I do respect Google for pulling out - this was actually the last time Google actually really t

Yes. Engagement always beats sanctions. As in, it's impossible to sanction China - China has no issues kicking out Google, Apple, and anyone else who doesn't want to follow the laws. Apple is wise enough to not suddenly engage in

First of all here's the good news: You have been deceived! By the media! The media is making money by reporting on "things that could kill you". It's getting more efficient at that over time, so if you do watch the news

You have a basic misunderstanding of perception. It's common, everyone has this, the idea that you're this bag of meat separate from everyone. What are you supposed to do? But, you will be good to yourself, and to others, if you d

I think it's not a bad idea. If something on this catastrophic level happens, you're going to be unprepared. If you have a societal framework of how to go about your grief, I can imagine it will help some. It won't make anyth

Agreed. They are "odd" only because they contradict mainstream scientific belief. The strange thing is that a lot of people take mainstream scientific belief and make it into a truth so absolute they don't even realize it&#x2
