As someone who has dropped almost all social media (mostly so I can get more done, but also for privacy), I can point out some non obvious consequences. This blog post mentions that stopping the use of Facebook will prevent you from seeing

Is it just me, or do all of these state operated bulk data spying programs come off as incredibly rapey? NSA: hey, can I read your email? Me: nah, I really don't know you that well...I like my privacy, and frankly don't really tru

Musk being banned from serving as an officer or director of a public company... Does anyone else see this as the beginning to the rise of a super villain? Think about it: our insanely legislated government decides that a rich and accomplish

Instead of pushing for a data driven conclusion, what about this: A police officer has 1.0 amount of time in a shift. If he spends 0.2 of his shift sitting at a speed trap trying to meet some quota, he has 0.8 of his shift left to patrol &#

May? This is something that is established by serious scientific inquiry about every 15 years, since the early 60's. Also, LSD and Ayuhasca have similar effects.

It appears that people on GitHub hate bullshit. And why wouldn't they? Most of them are engineering types. Docker added bullshit to the action chain of acquiring their only product. Then to really seal the deal, they lied about the rea

You really should right a new opening line Marianne; fractions are legit, and tons of people like them. Like most people who can do simple division without a calculator... Starting off with "no one likes fractions" is not a way to
