they mean you live within the walled garden, that you are playing make-believe.

I didn't want the post to end I didn't want to return to an existence where people don't share these transgressive impulses with me.

This is a robust and comprehensive antidote to nihilism and anyone who has ever missed the internet of the nineties or early 00s as I have would be doing themselves an enormous favour by reading it, and then rereading it as I intend to.

It lost me for a moment at Implicity and I was worried the spell had be broken but the profound blows didn't stop.

>to a cloud based shop where we used every cloud buzzword tech under the sun

this is me currently, not so much "tech" as repackaged cloud services as SAAS and middleware, department is amortizing hours and effort against projects, the eldritch horrors you're referring to are starting to manifest and I want out.

This will always be a risk when sharecropping.

what are the longterm implications of easing the journey of a swarm of insects, does it reduce the attrition, and if so will that have an impact on pollination and predator success at the terminus?

in what less obvious ways does it ease the journey such as energy stowage (in hover flies I presume they depend on their pollen panniers?)

your information seems to be at least a decade out of date

They "may" affect your insulin response, some studies have found this plausible, some have found no link.

Subjectively, a few months of wearing a monitor appeared to show no perceptible effect on my own.

It is unscientific nonsense given there is no proven causal link between "pRoCeSsEd FoOdS" whatever they might be and longterm adverse health.

The countries that consume the most processed foods are also the longest lived, obviously such a correlation does not imply processed foods lead to longevity, just that any accusation of cause and effect is more easily explained by abundance and affluenza (sic).

How long before the UPF cult proclaims vaccines are poison, I note than some of their number already do.

Liquidity provision is valuable though, and it's not really parasitic to exploit inefficiencies, it's not even that profitable a strategy today.

This is one of the best comments I've seen on HN.

The Citizen Caliber 0100 is the most accurate wristwatch ever made, except for http://leapsecond.com/pages/atomic-bill/ but I'd still take the Patek.

hardly the attitudes of those that hate Europe, your stated reason for the brexit vote.

it is, it's unfalsifiable nonsense because nobody actually "sees" things in their "minds eye", when someone imagines something it's just a generic default instantiation of whatever, the properties might list "red" and "cube" but the individual doesn't "see" the red cube.

It's just another way for attention seekers to feel special.

On the contrary, you've fallen for the propaganda:

Most neighbourly countries: Romania, UK, and Poland (no country in Europe they weren’t willing to help).

For the record I voted remain as a eurosceptic, but I know a lot of people who voted leave and not one is an overweight, red-faced, lager-swilling, hateful person who foams at the mouth at the mere mention of europe and its bureaucracy.

an adage that is certainly true in the analogy but no longer true of the Thames.

they were, once upon a time.

>recently

38 years with some brief stints abroad, as discrete entities, and providing you are on a well trodden path the state-run institutions are ~fine~.

QUANGOs are the worst to deal with, private is the best.

Not the UK, Labour.

Interesting, in my experience Claude usually does okay with the first pass, often gets the best visual/ui output, but cannot improve beyond that even with repeated prompts and is terrible at optimising, GPT almost the opposite.

The automotive quartz crisis is well under way.

They will become mainstream because the advertising industrial complex will see the opportunity to have a paid subscription model to reality with ads from the moment you open your eyes to those on the free-tier.

Realtime on-demand satnav in ar, onscreen messaging, news updates etc, the facial recognition is just one aspect, having automatic connections with people looking at you across a room signifying interest.

This is dystopian to me but I don't see how it doesn't eventually become mainstream.

1. Nobody suggested we exclude inconvenient intelligence organisations.

2. Irrelevent because:

3. Low confidence, but probable merely implies plausibility, at least a somewhat higher likelihood than a wild previously unencountered zoonotic.

Based on all publicly available information it does seem more likely, the CIA will be better informed than the public, if they (and others) concur then I don't see why we need to dismiss it.

I was merely addressing your accusation of "out-of date information", I'm not the original commenter.

Despite the traumatic stuff I find Rebecca's books very childish, Tartt is truly literary and every attempt by anyone else to ape her work or simply the associated "Dark Academia" aesthetic just pales...

personal responsibility is more common in the UK, it is assumed that one can cross the road safely without needing traffic lights for example, or walk along a stretch of an ancient monument without needing a handrail.

I've never met anyone here who has ever had any issues associated with paracetamol abuse/overdose, and only a single person who failed to cross the road correctly.

Current politics, semicondutors, or security

from an incredibly trivial perspective I was thinking about this recently when I discovered all games operate as saas products now, if for whatever reason you're banned then you can no longer play the product you purchased, what happened to third party mplayer servers?

>why are we even supposed to care about wealth inequality

Precisely, it's a nonsense metric that doesn't anything about poverty at all which is something that truly matters.
