The real article title says there is an association, while the HN title says there is causation ("Sitting for a long time shrinks your brain even if you exercise"). Very bad

Everyone that wants to transact privately and without censorship or middlemen is a criminal? This society is so sick that that's a common viewpoint

I can't even reply to your comment without my words being stolen and used to train "AI". I have no option to opt out. So you will only get this chilled response.

Advertising companies including google make many billions by gathering, using, selling the personal information of people just like you

You are really claiming that Google doesnt want your data? And claiming that big companies in general don't want your data? It's so absurd that i am not sure i understand your comment correctly. It is an absolute 100% guarantee th

Hong Kong protestors were tracked by looking at their purchases of public transport tickets. Canada froze the bank accounts of those involved in protests also. Wikileaks had to rely on cryptocurrency for funding and donations could be track

Cointelegraph very often exaggerates and writes in an inaccurate way, it should never be used as a reliable source of information. You can see the real information here which makes it clear that it only applies to exchanges: https:/&#

There are several models. Haveno already works by providing p2p multisignature escrow. With this design, you need to match with an individual and do a direct exchange. There is a Tor-based application BasicSwap has another model with noncus

Based on all the other comments it seems like nobody else understands this. Funny. People will just (legally) use decentalised exchanges to convert between monero and bitcoin so it won't have much impact

I just read the section in his book that the article refers to and within context it doesnt say anything that the article suggests. It doesn't say anywhere that he believes in the noxious vapors of miasma theory or that he doesnt belie

Essentially the same for me, I had one incident where someone was arguing in favor of it and then immediately embarrassed themselves badly because they were misled by a chatgpt error. I have the feeling that this hype will collapse as this

Even in 2012 bitcoin could very concretely be used to order drugs. Many people have used it to transact and preserve value in hostile economic environments. Etc etc. Ridiculous comment. Personally i have still yet to find LLMs useful at all

I had a stalker in the past. I feel more comfortable without him knowing where i live. In general i have a strong need for privacy. Not having privacy is generally unsettling, in the same way that i close the door when using a toilet or hav

Excluding the evidence would incentivize police to stop choosing the most convenient interpretation of the law. They should have to try to make the most accurate interpretation, which means punishment when they are wrong. Just like for ever

I can't express strongly enough that arguing about how to raise children is an incredibly deep, contentious topic. Over and over i see that the state terrifies me deep into my soul, as does the power that a parent has over shaping its

In the future in a good way or a bad way? I haven't seen or heard of any tech being used only in China that i would actually want in my city. These "air taxis" for example are way too loud

I use a search engine 99% of the time. Occasionally i use an LLM, but even for checking the most simple information I am not able to have any confidence that the answer it gives is correct. It seems to lie to me every time i use it and cont
