If you plan on sustaining dozens of new cards per day indefinitely, you’ll bury yourself in reviews, but spaced repetition does ensure that if your recall rate is high, review count degrades over time, and eventually becomes negligible. I go through periods of daily new cards when I’m focused on learning something, and periods of review and consolidation. If my daily reviews get over 200, it’s time to let the new cards rest for a while.
That doesn’t entirely eliminate the other possibilities though, google search isn’t deterministic, and the domain could have been reported since the article went up.
I hope it does age poorly. I tried to make it clear that I’m a prolific user of decentralised applications, and that I really want them to succeed. I just pointed out my feelings on why they usually don’t, in the hope we can do something about it.
Ultimately though, I fail to understand why anyone without the proper time to devote to a child would chose to have one.
People who want to have lots of sex, will still feel those desires in a monogamous relationship. Monogamy might make them less likely to act on those feelings, but it will make them less likely to test regularly, and stop them from being open with their partners about risks, and prevents clear communication about establishing safe sex practices.
If my partner has sex with someone else, I want them to feel safe enough to tell me. That way I can make decisions such as using protection with them that I might not otherwise, or getting tested myself, which I would not be able to otherwise.
Most people don’t have access to that much sunlight, whether it’s because they have to spend most of the day working indoors, or, like me, they live in a polar region where you literally can’t get sun most of the year.
While it may be better for your liver not to have more to process, I highly doubt taking vitamin supplements is worse than living with a deficiency.
Also, in polar cultures, eating large amounts of vitamin D rich foods is exactly what people have been doing for thousands of years, without it causing health problems. And I can tell you from experience, that failing to get that vitamin D WILL cause health problems.
>A camp where persons are confined, usually without hearings and typically under harsh conditions, often as a result of their membership in a group the government has identified as suspect.
I would also note that the term does not apply to places where people in Nazi Germany were gassed or cremated, those have a separate term: death camps.
At my last job I wrote a driver for a proprietary framework to talk to closed hardware units, which made lots of money. I could not have done this without the company's license as a developer for the framework, or without the protocol specification for the hardware units. In this case, the company I worked for owned the means of production, not me, so it's perhaps unsurprising that I got a very tiny cut of the fruits of my labour.

You just found exactly who is making it appreciate
The hard part is getting the first 1-3 friends to bootstrap your social network. Once you're at that point your friends will introduce you to others, and your network will blossom organically.
>Bonus points if you can tell me how the hell you cope with seeing stuff like this.
I think the solution is simply not to engage with it. The topic is indeed worth discussing, but only when women are given an equal part in the conversation. As you can see by the fact that I'm commenting here though, I've failed to take my own advice...
>but I don't want to bet on myself being even MORE of an outlier than the men who achieve what I want to
FWIW I don't think you need to worry, I've yet to see any evidence that women in tech are any less capable than men. Most of the discussion seems to revolve around men trying to justify why we're underrepresented.

> This is why climate change advocates are so disappointing. The complete lack of understanding of science and yet that ignorance makes them pretend they are an authority on science.
And are you an authority? I'll concur that I'm not, my field is cosmology. However, all my contemporaries in climate science seem to support the consensus, and here's a source that 97% of publishing climate scientists do [0]. They are an authority, and I think I'll believe them over an armchair intellectual trying to sow doubt on the internet.

In physics we have a dozen different models of gravity, yet we're still pretty sure that if you jump out of a building you're going to fall downward.
If it's not, consider this: If an employer really is fair and unexploitative to their employees, the employees have nothing to gain by unionising.
