Just use it w/o logging in. I have a YT account, but I never login with Vanced. I only do so when I have something very important to add in the comment section and that happens on the desktop. You don't have to be too paranoid

Brainstorming is just a means for discussing ideas. Whether it works is irrelevant, it helps to keep projects moving, rather than being stuck in analysis paralysis

The correct answer is BUY THINGS AND/OR EXPERIENCES, so long as you can afford

^ This.

As much as The Economist is good, it's still news, which has negative effects on the mind + it's too focused on global economy which don't really have any value for me, maybe to an actual economist/global leader, it would

XXX Review of Books are good, but they're basically convoluted essays. Good for anybody else, not for my time though

Aeon focuses much on philosophy. I no longer read this though because it's too academic for my taste

Brain Pickings, Arts & Daily, 3 Quarks Daily focuses much on classics, mostly - I'd rather read classics that reading writings about classics, nowadays

The title is enough of a hint

1 word: greed

He didn't clarify the title that he's referring to TECH blog for clickbait

Smartphones used as cameras on concerts. Annoying for a concert-goer who just want to see the performer in the moment. This is the only time I see the use of Google Glass as a positive

Dude, chill out. That's just the format of Twitter, which is limited with N characters per post. Of course the author could have just written in a different medium, and link his blog, but you know how short the attention span of people these days. What's relevant is the message, it doesn't have to be written like an Economist or a New Yorker article

I'm reading this and all I'm thinking is: Westerners' ancestors have done worst. China is doing what it's doing because it wants to catch up. At least they're not exploiting other people. And the audacity to call it 'Darwin's doorstep', as if he's a saint. One positive thing I'd attribute to him is he enlightened the Nazis and if it weren't for WW2, colonization wouldn't end

Four in those countries are newly industrialized. They may be not "developed" yet, but they are getting there. I hate this **king division of countries into first world, third world, etc. There are certain cities in a "shithole" country that are far richer and better in certain neighborhoods in a "first-world" country around the world. Anyway, people don't immigrate to the U.S. to be happy - they get there to get better money for their skills, and then come back to visit their home countries on vacation to be "happy"

Eh, not really, it sounds like one of those Robert Greene BS books. Sounds exciting when you're young and inexperienced, but tiresome when you're older and actually wise

I find it stupid that intelligent people gather together in this echo chamber to talk about stupid people. Wise people just don't care

This. I went to thinking the Universal God is more supreme than the Christian God

It will also allow pirates to download 1T of data in 1 min, that's the most important thing

Why is everyone so obsessed with the economy? I think the coronavirus is the perfect defense mechanism from nature for the environment to recover

Opium wars

There is this other technology called "chauffeur"

A majority of the earth’s population say they are religious, for cultural/social/safety reasons.

The point is that specific religious leaders would oppose it because it would stop them from controlling the population. I doubt there are religious zealots in this age and era.

Why don't they suspend right now immediately, why is it set on January? What are they going to do with the previously produced, currently producing up to 31st of December, 2019? Are they going to blow them up on 2020 like fireworks to celebrate New Year?

Please don't mistake communist party with communist government. Apple in a fruit basket vs apple tree

Sorry to bother you, but in Indonesia, "X" is spelled "ks"

"A major California fault capable of producing a magnitude 8 earthquake has begun moving for the first time on record, a result of this year’s Ridgecrest earthquake sequence destabilizing nearby faults"

Is that not information enough?

From what it seems, it records a "flat" fingerprint, because the screen protector is obviously a flat layer on top of the device. So any haptic touch only activates this flat fingerprint

But wouldn't you say that you see things that way AFTER overcoming depression?

Perhaps they studied politics very well to understand the positive and negative traits of democracy?

you forgot IMO in your last sentence

Hence, the rise of individualism and then, narcissism

How about restricting people taking photo of the painting and make them immerse themselves with the art introspectively. There are better, high resolution images of the painting on the internet already, why take a photo? No point in taking a photo just to point out in social media "I've been there"
