Hi Ben, after yet another (3rd I think? could be 4th) round of binge-watching all your videos, I was wondering if you made any progress with "Wire EDM" that you mention in one of your videos. That process is (for me, at least) pre

Sorry, but your reply sounds like "just stop being poor". Procrastination is serious problem and anything that helps someone deal with it should not be dismissed. Edit: Procrastination is all about avoiding a problem (could be w

I can imagine that sooner or later reply to threats like this would be a Tomahawk or two.

That's exactly how Google ads worked in the very beginning. Text only, all in one place, it was great! If we could somehow return that type of ads, I'd consider disabling adblocker.

It's also important to distinguish between 'knowing' and 'understanding'. If someone tells me how to says Good morning in, let's say, Mongolian, I 'know' how to greet people, but dont 'understa

This is still happening? It used to be very annoying decade or so ago, but I thought it was already solved/fixed/improved. Are there really no option to make a domain registration without expiration?

But parent post is arguing that to become a doctor you need to memorize ungodly amount of things, which is absolutely true. And about that wall of reference material .. yeah, it's usually there to impress patients, most of those book

By 2050—earlier, probably—all real knowledge of Oldspeak will have disappeared. The whole literature of the past will have been destroyed. Chaucer, Shakespeare, Milton, Byron—they'll exist only in Newspeak versions, not merely changed

Beautifully written. Now all you need is to open store on Etsy with some crystals and similar junk :) On serious note: I wonder if there is a generator somewhere for this kind of BS. I have bookmarks for several (corpo lingo, resume, progre

Great way to make the life of your kids absolute hell at school. I feel sorry for them, being isolated from other kids because your parents are crazy is horrible.

Wait, you are using shortcuts instead of bookmarks or just keeping the tabs opened and that is the reason to use Chrome? That's one of the most unique reasons for keeping using certain browser I've even seen.

Sorry, I meant it differently. What I was trying to say was that we (mankind) respond best to disasters = sudden catastrophic events, but really bad to frog-boiling ones. It would be best to do nothing and let it all reach a critical point

One of the greatest features of mankind is the response to disasters. When situation gets really bad, we are capable of achieving incredible things that would normally be impossible. Example: Second world war. You might argue that it was n

Isn't Brave just attempt to copy Google? It's Chromium based, with their own ad system ... why choose lesser evil?

Translated: I can't afford X so it's OK to steal it, because corporations are evil for being for-profit. Got it. re UBI: you don't have to wait to see how 'well' would UBI work in practice - ask anyone from any Euro

The only thing that keeps me using Chrome from time time is the in-place translation feature. If anything comparable was added to Firefox (which I mainly use), I would be more than happy to get rid of Chrome once and for all. And yes, I&#x2

I'm honestly surprised that you are able feel any effect from such a dose. Based on what i've heard from my friend's uncle's guardener's grandmother's neighbour, this could very much be just simple placebo effe

The moment MS surrendered to Google and adopted Chromium was the last momment when using Edge made even slightest sense. Why choose lesser evil?

No. Since you mentioned 2000s, you know how revolutionary and welcomed were Google ads at that time. Text based ads all in specific positions? Give me more! It was so much better than the nightmare we had. But look at Google and web no

Of course there is a way, but to be honest, I'm tired of dongles and converters and cables and chargers and such. I have so many of them.

Mostly luxury goods? I strongly disagree. For example - many industries use/depend on machines and tools made in Germany.

As a funny experiment, make 2 accounts - one for your actual opinions and other that posts only things aligned with the hive mind (e.g. praise anything mentioning Rust, hating on US, etc.) Results are .. interesting :)

If Apple made an iPhone version with 3.5 jack, i'd throw my Samsung out of the window (literally) in a second. I have no interest to replace my 300euro or so headphones with their Bluetooth garbage.

I think the main issue is that there are too many things grouped under the label of 'child pornography'. Anyone making actual CP should be thrown into vulcano, but teens sending nudes to each other are as innocent as they can be.

But RMS is one of the main reasons why there is any free software in first place. Without his obsession, it would be long destroyed.

Ever heard about concept of 'friends' or even 'close friends'?
