If there was a red button that kills the Internet, Google would press it.

Absolutely! But corporations can also treat you like shit. When they do, try to ditch them. Well, that is a challenge.

I would argue most programmers can do that, if the desire is strong enough. You might have to lower your standard of living drastically, but it's possible for most of us.

Zettelkasten is the original name of the concept of networked note-taking. It even worked on paper. Roam took the concept close to users with a polished UI. Some history: https://fortelabs.co/blog/how-to-take-smart-notes/

I'm very much surprised to hear philosophical gems in this talk. If you like these thoughts, you'll like some of Alan Watts' lectures, too.

The EU has pretty much watched all along while Orban was building up his unconstitutional power machine.

I prefer to call it physical distancing. Social distancing is when the Internet goes off.

These side effects occur in extremely high doses, much much higher than the effective dosage.

It doesn't need to be administered intravenously (only for methemoglobenia) - although more effective that way.

serotonin syndrome, rbc breakdown and allergic reactions occur when you drink a glass of what few drops are enough.

As said, it is extremely safe drug in low dosages (4-16 drops of 0.1% solution).

Another anti-malaria drug, methylene blue had been proven to work against coronavirus in blood plasma in 2005 [1].

It is used in photodynamic therapy to selectively kill some viruses (see below) / bacteria (e.g. mycoplasma) [2].

When entering the bloodstream, it binds selectively to the nucleus of the viruses it is effective against. It's the same mechanism why it's effective as a dye to stain microbes under microscope. Methylene blue best absorbs light at 660nm wavelength, which at the same time penetrates into human tissues deeply. When light is absorbed, methylene blue disintegrates to harmless molecules while releasing reactive oxygene species, killing the virus.

It is a very safe drug, so the same logic that bsaul mentioned could be applied, and therefore would be a responsible move. It is also beneficial to mitochondria and effective against fungus.

Citizens of US are in the exceptional position that they can actually force things - as gun is legally owned.

Other countries are not so lucky if such things occur - they just wait for the next election and hope for the best...

I argue if everyone would increase their Vitamin D level drastically (by 10000IU), this sole intervention would save much, much more lives than tracking location of phones.

I'm in for the Vitamins, not for tracking.

Its not over - I switch to oldschool phone that I'll regularly switch off. I'll have some lagging in communication, but at least it's a way to raise awareness among my friends.

I would really like to see new laws (or deleted old ones) in order to increase safety for such unexpected conditions.

It feels something is terribly wrong with the world and the basic laws of capitalism, now that it turns out many companies don't pile on stuff, and go out of business in a matter of weeks when supply is lagging behind.

Agree. While the government keeps citizens safe on one side, it is also actively involved in unlawful act of weaponizing pathogens. The first article in this magazine about mycoplasma gives us a briefing on this topic: http://www.betterhealthguy.com/images/stories/PDF/PHA/2009_0...

Reading through the comments it would seem that the article is a false alarm. The count of upvotes dictates the opposite.

My opinion is that the baseline for what we achieve as good (and quick) service has been slowly lift up by the industry. At the same time specific design practices were implemented to ease our frustration about slow service, and "feel" at least that the service is quick.

Yes! I'm very much supportant of this project.

Running a monolithical christmas-tree isn't what we need as PID 1.

I guess our lesson here is to invest in mesh networking and services that work over it, before it's too late.

I can't wait for the time when users fear for their privacy when they buy a non-free hardware with non-free software installed on it.

Just as a side note, the photo in the article was taken from an angle that you can't see the "crowd". Even the parliament can be seen from between one of the participants legs.

Making it seem to be a large protest is a well-known deceivement tactic in politics.

stage 3 is "they fight you". (not laugh) I guess what he meant by that is that being over-critical on many fronts is a way of fighting against Purism.

I agree, this tone has been on their forums since the beginning.

I hope that they spend their resources building the product in these critical times, and just ignore trolls.

I really hope force push is disabled on the repo :)

Moving servers out of US is obviously a step in the right direction. However, it's also understandable if a user wouldn't want to be tracked by 3rd parties, at all.

Even if there's no 3rd party involved, we've seen NSA tapping onto private companies (Google) internal network as well. If any analytics company grows big enough, it's definitely becoming a target for the NSA.

I understand we're all different, but I prefer to clear my mind on the toilet.

The user is upset about the lack of user consent, which is a red flag in any open-source software.

Looking forward to learn about healing retrovirus infections.

It's only half of the truth. The other half is, the government has to tax you out of your slightly stronger dollar to pay back the loan to the bankers.

Minting the coin only cuts the bankers future profits, which - as it's a zero sum game - benefits the worker class in the long term.

In a lot of ways I want better search than Google. It's increasingly for the masses, power users are increasingly unhappy.

One important one is http://lynnefarrow.net/book.html

Then there is (on top of above) the vitamins / minerals category, in which I was shocked to find that most supplements out there are in a form that doesn't get used by the body. Sorry, no english doc here :(

Addressing my various food intolerances - it's very personal and it's more about the process. Experimenting with avoiding gluten, milk, egg (for me). Try-and-repeat. Be consistent (this was the hardest for me).

And fighting my constant virus load - again, very personal, but these ones that work for me, using in combination: lactoferrin, grapefruit seed extract, ganoderma lucidum mushroom, propolis drops, and one I won't write down on HN because I get downvoted for it... :)
