I’m prescribed trazadone for insomnia, and it’s magnificent. Virtually zero grogginess the next morning like I’d get from an anti-histamine, no compromise on sleep quality as the drug actually improves length and quality of REM sleep rather than negatively impacting it as many other sleep-aids do.

Agreed! Similarly, ice baths/cold plunges are a great way for me to mentally “reset” and clear up a little brain fog. Minimizing carbs has, for me, also helped. Not eliminating them mind you, but reeling my consumption of them in to a healthy level and focusing on proteins, fruits, veggies, etc for most of my caloric intake.

What makes you the arbiter of discussion? The article is about cognitive decline, this is an anecdote about personal cognitive decline that they believe happened to be caused by covid.

If you think every comment with a personal anecdote tangentially related to the article is “nonsense” and “r/x” material then you must be constantly frustrated by nearly every HN comments section of sufficient length.

How long ago was this now?

I feel like everyone this far is missing something, or perhaps just I am.

I understand that a wavy wall will be stronger than a straight wall of the same thickness, therefore if you need that additional strength it technically uses fewer bricks to reach it.

That said, if the alternative is a 2 layer straight wall, is the wavy wall equally as strong? Or is it just stronger than the single layer wall?

Without knowing anything about the subject matter, I’d assume that the strength goes in order of single-layer straight, wavy, double-layer straight. No? Seems like needing just the amount of strength the wavy wall provides, and no more, would be a fairly rare use case. Leading to double-layer straights most of the time anyway.

Could you elaborate on the first point? Ignorance isn’t necessarily arrogance or nonchalance, and I fall firmly into the former on this particular topic.

I have a hard time with this mentality. I would have agreed a few years ago perhaps, and do still agree that we all have our own aptitudes, but the level of absolution in a statement like this just isn’t really quite as applicable to humans in my opinion. There are things I never thought I’d be capable of that I’ve recently begun to excel at.

What I thought was a hardware limit turned out to just bug in my psycho-software that needed a patch. Obviously at the extreme end’s of the spectrum, the human hardware limit is very real. But for most (healthy) people, engaging in most activities, I believe that any perceived immutable barriers or obstacles are almost entirely psychological.

As much as I hate to say this, I’ve lost almost all concern for the environment “crisis”. Not saying it isn’t real, but at 24 years old now I’ve been seeing panic-fuel since I was 10 on Disney channel about the hole in the ozone layer (that managed to fix itself), deforestation, the coral reefs, etc.

I’ve been told I should be scared of the world ending because selfish greedy humans are destroying it for literally as long as I can remember, and I’m over it. I can’t bring myself to always be anxious about it. It’s either live a lifetime of worry or say fuck it and live my life.

I recycle, I rideshare when I can, I take the steps that are convenient to me to help, but I just can’t be bothered getting that worked up over it anymore.

While generally I think that your approach is the best approach to discovery, I think it is prone to privacy complaints. I’ve certainly looked at… things… on social media that I wouldn’t want close friends or family to get recommended to them, even worse if they know they got recommended it because of me. Not everything everyone interacts with on a social media platform is meant to be shared with everyone else.

We don’t know if they chose to share it on HN just yet or if this post was made by a fan of the project.

Are you arguing that Uber’s business model isn’t sustainable or that it’s bad for both parties? Uber being in the red doesn’t mean it’s a net negative for everyone.

Typescript is one of the few additional layers of complexity that I truly feel is usually worth it. The exceptions being: a) if you have a complete or near-complete system that functions as intended with no major changes planned for the foreseeable future. And b) the system you’re writing is small, fairly self-contained, and the team isn’t already familiar with Typescript.

In any other situation I firmly believe the benefits Typescript brings very quickly outweigh the small amount of added complexity.

Just curious, why did you think it wouldn’t be?

Agreed. It may not be a perfect meritocracy, but over the course of a life a little effort and competence go a long way.

The earth can support far more poeple than it does now. The solution to many of our issues that are attributed to "over-population" is more investement in renewable energy and more sustainable waste management and farming practices.

The fact that there's an entire school of thought out there (I know you aren't the only one) that really thinks psuedo-forced sterilization of the poor is better than just getting our resource consuption and generation under control is kind of sickening frankly.

That's assuming those 10k jobs are equally distributed, which is almost certainly not the case.

Haha, jokes aside, I wonder how this would actually work.

Same material or not, womens clothing is often more labor intensive to make and therefore more expensive than mens clothes.

The primary benefit is 200 Google salaries stimulating the relatively small local economy.

I didn't say that, but if you think the wealth Google provides those 200 doesn't benefit the remaining 16k then you're delusional.

I don't see why that's relevant, unless you mean to imply that Republicans = racists.

But those 200 employees are probably earning ~10%+ of the towns GDP.

With modern medicine giving birth is very safe. I'm not sure if it's with what happened with Roe V Wade or something else but I've seen an uptick of people who seem to believe that a woman giving birth in a 1st world country in 2022 is basically rolling the dice with their life. Women do still die, but it's extremely rare now.

Why is that strange to you? What would the alternative, "less strange", reality be?

As much as I dislike fox news (and virtually all news orgs now) they're probably among the only people actually tracking things like this. I understand if you dislike their political message, but the links the other commenter provided are all good examples of specific instances of the censorship we're discussing. That the organization as a whole is incredibly biased doesn't alter the fact that the people in those stories were actually silenced.

The fact that you can't easily find any record of these events outside of Fox News is a part of the issue and "mass scale" censorship.

I think most people that are happy about Elon taking over aren't free speech absolutists in the sense of the term you're using it.

Rather they're just tired of blatant censorship some individuals face when expressing an opinion that goes against popular politics of the time.

There's a middle ground between allowing literal nazi's to do whatever they want and blatantly influencing discussion on a mass scale by silencing those you disagree with.

Hmm. And what do they do if you don't maintain a $2500 balance in any linked accounts? Do they send it to collections? Garnish any received money recieved to the account until the amount is paid in full? Both?

> not the True IDE-wielding Glaswegian

Could you explain this reference? I googled Glaswegian and it appears that it refers to someone from Glasgow, but I'm not sure how that's relevant in the context you just used it.

Monkeys aren't humans though. It's disgusting, I don't like animal abuse, but it'd not the same thing. And wishing we'd go extinct is hardly the moral high ground here.
