what does @dang look like?

where is he? why is he not posting here? is dang even real?

maybe dang is just the acronym for the AI system of a new startup being incubated at YC

Simplest way is to use another phone to take a screenshot

In that particular case, you still lose a device you paid a lot of money to have and you might even lose any data not backed up

Phones becoming bricks when stolen AND reported hasn't and won't stop most thiefs from stealing them and it won't prevent you from losing your expensive phone and having to buy a new expensive phone. And if the phone is insured, well then you are paying a monthly fee for having a money holding device

I would not necessarily call it enhanced security if you are using Android and your phone is not one of the latest models. Plus of course someone can just steal your phone, force you unlock it and steal more than they could ever steal from you if you only had cash.

Your enhanced security is a box containing more money than you can carry. This box can (most of the times) only be opened with a key but this key is always with you. So whoever steals your force will just force you to open the box

You will just unlock it at the thief's request

If someone steals your cash (as much cash as you can carry): you don't have it anymore.

If someone steals your phone (you will lose at least the value you paid for the phone) and once they force you to unlock the phone and to hand over the passwords, you will lose:

- as much cash as they can take out before you can access a device that will allow you to freeze the card

you will also be a more attractive target for hacking (especially if you are using Android and your phone is like the vast majority of targets that receives security updates very late or it simply does not receive them)

Seen it happen more than once. Yes, you are smart but so are thiefs

You are paying a price for that. The second someone steals your phone, you lose it, drop in into water or your battery runs off, you are temporarily poor and if you might find yourself in trouble if you can't get somewhere where you can charge your phone

does that mean that he could memorise a 500 a4 pages worth of times new roman 12 font size digits?

because the youth is the future. Investing in young users is investing long-term. Young users is potential future money, old users is immediate but short lived money stream. I didn't mean to say that it didn't matter but FB is obviously looking at the future

It doesn't matter that you are getting more users if those users are old and that's basically what is happening to Facebook. FB these days is just a place where content gets recycled, original content, viral memes and cultural trends happen elsewhere (TT, IG, etc). Just try to list the number of public figures (that young people care about) that use FB as its main channel? Now compare that against TT, IG, etc.

FB managed to buy IG and WhatsApp but they won't always be able to buy their competitor or copy them

half a year is still good

how's dating life? how do your dates react when they learn about how you live? Also, how do you afford clothing and toiletries like deodorant, toothpaste and the like? How do you shower daily without reliable access to showers?

> or natural body

What do you mean by natural body?

it should show the website as well. Compare the results against Google's: https://www.google.com/search?sxsrf=ALeKk014TPUTX_G1C5HLUIyT...

I disagree. I used to know plenty of people who only played FPS. Also people who only played 1 or 2 different FPS. Are these people not gamers? Saying that you need to play X games or games in X number of genres is not something I agree with it

Re-vengeance breaks the MGS mold but it is still a MGS game and it is also worth playing it. The last boss sounds a lot like POTUS

I think his statement was troll-ish

no idea what's going on there, I know some of those variables are actually functions but the whole thing is unreadable unless you have experience in haskell imo

> if it wasn't hard to do, it wasn't worth doing

that's a very narrow minded way of looking at the world. Kind words, hugs are very much worth it

I wish it was.

By the way, by Mars I meant a terraformed Mars

I was thinking of a terraformed Mars

> we start to sustain life there

Then you just have WW4 and we all die. Wars have been started for far worthless things (when you compare it to the game changing thing that would be to have a place in Mars), something like Mars would cause a lot of deaths way before humans get there and it would probably remove any motivation to actually fix human-caused problems in Earth because hey, thanks to Musk we can just leave to Mars. All those rich people that are now building bunkers could collectively purchase Mars (whatever that means) and leave Earth when it is beyond repair (right after squashing every resource out of it). I don't think humanity is anywhere ready for it even if the technology was ready right now. Our social systems are fragile and tend to centralization and authoritarian forms of governance

Are you saying that there is only one person legally allowed to be called Graham Paul in the whole planet?

> AppEngine used to have a budget limit option, and they've just removed it!

awful behaviour!

To me that frustration comes from a lack of understanding that living in a sparsely populated area comes with the good (less people around) and the bad (worse infrastructure)

> Mozilla is such an important voice in shaping the future of the internet

This is the primary reason why I choose Firefox over Chrome. Because Mozilla is the the world's Jon Snow against the world's white walkers (Google and co).

Mozilla needs to do whatever it needs to stay alive. We need more non-profit voices in the table not less

> For some people, nice things can actually affect their life experience, while some "experiences" (as in activities) feel rather meaningless. I think the point is that you should aim to pursue whatever positively affects how you experience your life and not what looks good on the surface only, regardless of whether the entity under consideration is a material thing or an immaterial activity.

I agree. Being a coin collector and engaging with the coin collection community can be as or more meaningful as a holiday

> it brings me great joy just strolling around the garden watching everything growing or picking raspberries with my 3 year old son. So of course, in a sense, the house and the garden brings me joy.

imo you get joy from being happy with what you have (whatever it is, in your case it is a house and a garden, for others it is a mansion and for others a tiny flat)
