eip··on Ask HN: What do you do about too many open browser tabs?

Those are rookie numbers.

eip··on Long-term health risks after having adenoids or tonsils removed in childhood
Not sure. Never tried. It would probably work less than 50% of the time at best.
eip··on Long-term health risks after having adenoids or tonsils removed in childhood
It's pretty simple to remove tonsil stones. Just get a lighted tongue depressor and a tonsil stone tool.

Think of it as another maintenance task. Like brushing your teeth.

Everyone who smokes Salvia is at danger. Salvia is the worst.

It would be much cheaper and much more effective to talk to trees.
eip··on Michael Pollan on Psilocybe Azurescens
"Nature loves courage. You make the commitment and nature will respond to that commitment by removing impossible obstacles. Dream the impossible dream and the world will not grind you under, it will lift you up. This is the trick. This is what all these teachers and philosophers who really counted, who really touched the alchemical gold, this is what they understood. This is the shamanic dance in the waterfall. This is how magic is done. By hurling yourself into the abyss and discovering its a feather bed."

eip··on Bayer to retire Monsanto name
> We soon no longer will have people of any influence who experienced the horrors of a true world war.

Be careful what you wish for.

eip··on Bayer to retire Monsanto name
> a company known for heavy-handed corporate litigation practices

You think that is what Monsanto is known for? Not for being the spearhead of Kissinger's depopulation program?

eip··on Ending the Drug War Would Unleash the Therapeutic Potential of Psychedelics
I believe that with the advent of acid, we discovered a new way to think, and it has to do with piecing together new thoughts in your mind. Why is it that people think it's so evil ? What is it about it that scares people so deeply, even the guy that invented it, what is it ? Because they're afraid that there's more to reality than they have confronted. That there are doors that they're afraid to go in, and they don't want us to go in there either, because if we go in we might learn something that they don't know. And that makes us a little out of their control.

eip··on Ask HN: What should I use to write native desktop apps for Ubuntu?
There is a big difference between being the 'best possible' and being the best out of a variety of crappy alternatives.
eip··on StumbleUpon closing after 16 years, accounts can be migrated to Mix
If their goal was to go from a top 50 website to a top 3000 website they certainly succeeded.
eip··on StumbleUpon closing after 16 years, accounts can be migrated to Mix
> I have been reflecting on ways to fix it lately.

Don't worry. They are pulling a Stumbleupon/Digg right now. Taking something that isn't broken and trying to fix it. The redesign is corporate suicide.

eip··on Evidence that drinking baking soda can promote an anti-inflammatory environment
That probably feels pretty good but it's not how to treat a hiatal hernia. It's probably making it worse.

To treat a hiatal hernia stand with your back against a wall, bend over slightly, and relax your stomach muscles. Then with both your thumbs press in on your solar plexus like you are trying to touch your spine with your thumbs. Then slowly slide your thumbs down towards your navel. As you approach the navel push down to the left. Repeat two or three times.

You should feel immediate relief. Eventually you will be able to tell when you need to do it.

I am. Reply with contact info and I will contact you.
eip··on Ask HK: Why isnt there a cloud connected printer startup?
Why not a cloud facsimile machine startup? Or telegraph?

Printers are ancient technology.

eip··on Evidence that drinking baking soda can promote an anti-inflammatory environment
> chiropractic cures for hiatal hernias

This is the best solution to prevent the problem. Going to the chiropractor is impractical though because of how often you need to do it. Learn to do it yourself. Learn to identify when you need to. Literally saved my life.

Although the baking soda definitely helps when you get a mouthful (or sometimes lungful) of wretched hot stomach acid.

Also not eating at night.

eip··on Michael Pollan reluctantly embraces the 'new science' of psychedelics
"When I said we may be our programs, nothing more, nothing less, I meant the substrate, the basic substratum under all else, of our metaprograms is our programs. All we are as humans is what is builtin and what has been acquired, and what we make of both of these. So we are one more result of the program substrate-the selfmetaprogrammer.

As out of several hundreds of thousands of the substrate programs comes an adaptable changing set of thousands of metaprograms, so out of the metaprograms as substrate comes something else-the controller, the steersman, the programmer in the biocomputer, the selfmetaprogrammer. In a well organized biocomputer, there is at least one such critical control metaprogram labeled I for acting on other metaprograms and labeled me when acted upon by other metaprograms. I say at least one advisedly. Most of us have several controllers, selves, selfmetaprograms which divide control among them, either in time parallel or in time series in sequences of control. As I will give in detail later, one path for selfdevelopment is to centralize control of one's biocomputer in one selfmetaprogrammer, making the others into conscious executives subordinate to the single administrator, the single superconscient selfmetaprogrammer. With appropriate methods, this centralizing of control, the elementary unification operation, is a realizable state for many, if not all biocomputers."

eip··on Traditional TV Is in Trouble
The diarrhea analogy still stands.

Two restaurants:

One serves random food at random times. It's $80/plate and each plate is going to be 30-50% diarrhea. The bill has at least 20% unexplained markup.

The other serves whatever is on the menu all the time. It's $10/plate and each plate is diarrhea free.

>Regarding traffic - it is really sad that in the epicenter of tech

That people still sit in traffic for hours so that they can sit in front of their laptops all day in a germ-farm office and poop next to their coworkers.

It's dance monkey mentality. It's living in the past.

eip··on Elon Musk: Automation will force governments to introduce Basic Income
That is hilarious and naive. A cull is the much more obvious and likely solution.

eip··on Ask HN: Why does everyone use a MacBook Pro despite saying they suck?
Mediocre hardware and specs at an ultra premium price. What's not to like?
