Imagine you could spend 16 hours enjoying reading without any time having passed in the real world. Then you would still have those 16 to enjoy something else as well. But instead you are actually 16 hours closer to your death. That's the cost. Not the time you experienced, but the time you no longer have.

The option should be in your OS or browser settings.

I believe Google (used to?) ignores it if it's set to only English because that's too often the default. If that's the case, the work around is to set a second preferred language.

I guess this is sarcasm but if not:

That's a terrible way to implement UBI. It causes the dreaded welfare trap where people are incentivized to do nothing. UBI should be unconditional. This makes it much easier to implement, removes the stigma, and most importantly avoids the welfare trap. You want people who rely on welfare to be encouraged to become self sufficient, not trap them in dependence.

I see something blueish.

Cool. I was mostly curious if you're related to John?

I was using Datastore and other GAE specific stuff.

Who is Danielle Conway? Google links me to some lawyer.

If they had a contract, they wouldn't need your password.

I found this confusing too. But I assume they mean you're not taking it because they're giving it up voluntarily.

Slow change is good for small projects that you want to build once and use for decades without much maintenance.

In the past I built a few things on Google App Engine. Honestly one of my greatest regrets in life. I ported a few to PHP so I won't get screwed again when I need to change hosting provider. Still need to port some and am dreading doing it but it will be for the better.

I'm not sure what you are saying. A credit card transaction is also virtual, but you can use it to buy real world coffee. It's the same with crypto.

If it's an online service they don't need your address.

No, because you don't sent your wallet to the merchant.

> the only thing I've seen crypto being used for seriously that isn't speculation

When paying for domain names or VPS (or anything online, but those are the cases where it's easy), I prefer paying with crypto because I don't want to give my credit card information to some stranger so they can misuse or lose it. This is not illegal and a legitimate use case.

Being able to transfer value across the internet without the permission of a middle man, is valuable in the real world.

If you create a bookmark with the following URL, you can click it while on a recipe site to go to the OnlyRecipe version:

    javascript:window.location.href='https://onlyrecipe.app/?url=' + (window.location.href)

If an image fails to load, there is an animation which is still quite distracting. Can that just be a static broken imagine icon?

For example here: https://onlyrecipe.app/?url=https://www.allrecipes.com/recip...

Goods that weren't scarce before still can't be scarce. Only a new type of good can be scarce. Do you have a problem with that?

Or you avoid the topic, keep your fingers crossed that they won't get sick, and can at least have a normal conversation about the weather without hating each other.

Genitrust is another such ponzi scheme.

Did it not accept "contour"?

In real life puzzles you can often see the correct orientation from the grain of the paper so it's not completely unrealistic.

They could and should have communicated more honestly about it. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28427996

I assume that's why they wrote "excluding framework".

Well, eating their own dogfood also means not using an iPhone.

Some companies try harder to fight the decision than others and it makes a difference.
