mrwww··on Apple's child protection features spark concern within its own ranks: sources
They must comply with Chinese law. So they put iCloud data in China. So users with harmful images of "free hongkong" and winnie the pooh should be reported to authorities. Apple complies with local laws right?
mrwww··on Netflix intensifies VPN ban and targets residential IP addresses
thanks for listing these!
mrwww··on Apple's plan to “think different” about encryption opens a backdoor to your life
So if your Apple ID/icloud gets compromised, and somebody save an album of CP to your icloud photos, it is then only a question of time until the police comes knocking?
mrwww··on California exodus is a myth, UC research project finds
but... joe rogan left?
mrwww··on HK media erase their archives amid rising arrests
The CCP does not represent Chinese people and its sickening that they are so hell bent on controlling all of them.
mrwww··on Mexico's Supreme Court has decriminalised the private use of cannabis by adults
letting people grow their own is a great step that might take some profit away from the cartels. But part of the game should really be to make the production and large scale sale legal and controlled, and a non-cartel business. Leaving this massive business to organized crime is a huge problem.
mrwww··on Rival weightlifter speaks out on transgender Hubbard's Olympic place
What if women compete with/against men based on weight, or perhaps muscle mass class or something like that, could a gender-neutral competition be possible?
mrwww··on U.S. Supreme Court revives LinkedIn bid to shield personal data
I believe LinkedIn started providing some services similar to HiQ, which is one of their arguments.

How can your profile be public but not vaccumed up? Google vacuums it to index of course. Or perhaps you mean only public on Linkedin?

What the Russians or any other bad actor you care to think about already has done with your public profile is probably way way sleazier.

mrwww··on Trials begin on lozenge that rebuilds tooth enamel
Interesting solution! I had massive issues with my posture, neck, hips and even feet, which i know, sounds crazy, but all came from my bruxism and bite. If you have bad posture and maloclussion, look into forward head posture, lots of studies on it now.

I have not done botox. What i did was jaw relaxation exersices and physiotherapy. Its helped a lot.

I have a compulsive need to bring this up as well, I didnt understand it all was happening to me and starting to treat it has changed my life.

mrwww··on Trials begin on lozenge that rebuilds tooth enamel
I didnt know I had bruxism, but got a custom fitted plastic bite tray thing (sorry not sure how to translate) to wear at night, because i have a bad bite. And damn that thing changed my life. it was like €300. And yea discovered i had bruxism because my jaw and face felt so unusually relaxed in the morning.

Make sure you look into having something at night so your teeth doesnt wear further :)

mrwww··on WhatsApp will progressively kill features until users accept new privacy policy
apple just need to make imessage available for everyone to complete the facebook murder, which would be great for humanity. So please.

Great stuff Marco thanks!
mrwww··on Request for comments regarding topics to be discussed at Dark Patterns workshop
Cookies being more difficult to reject than to accept. Sure that's an EU thing but still
mrwww··on The story BCG offered me $16k not to tell (2010)
Sweden is trying to build a hospital, which has become the most expensive building in the world. Among other things, BCG was charging $100k per month for a bunch of fresh grads.

mrwww··on Psilocybin 'promising' for depression
2 doses of psilocybin, vs 6 weeks of SSRI's..! They also seem to cite a big difference in lasting happiness, altough that wasnt the focus of the study.
mrwww··on How Doctors Die (2013)
We're all scared of death, and fear clouds judgement. It can be so difficult to get small treatments that improve your quality of life done. But when you're 80 and near death, they'll stop at nothing.
mrwww··on Show HN: After 2.5 years on my side project, it has hit £500/month revenue
I have zero understanding of your domain, but from quickly scanning your landing page i immediatetly understand what its about. Great idea and really nice implementation!
mrwww··on Ask HN: What is a better approach to interviewing?
The company i ultimately chose to work for had a take-home assignment setup.

It was an easy assignment that covered a lot of concepts, and it was followed by a 2 hour techinical discussion on it and all things related and unrelated with my future colleagues.

Outside of that the interview stuff was just around personality and culture fit.

mrwww··on Modeling a Wealth Tax
That's the thing, a bit of tax won't knock anyone down. Using that money to provide more equal access to opportunity creates more winners.

Running doesn't require much money, so a lot of people can do it and therefore you can get someone as insanely good as Bolt. If running required startup capital of $100k, would we have Bolt?

Healthcare, education and a safe environment does require a lot of money in the USA. Specifically, it requires you to be born in a family that has it already. If not, you are born with your legs cut off, but if you work really really really hard, you can be one of the lucky few who make it out, and compete with those born with two legs. It's just an extremely uneven playingfield.

mrwww··on Modeling a Wealth Tax
People in the USA somehow think that having a huge amount of loosers in society will turn out ok.

Enjoy your ever growing prison population, crime, unemployment and inequality.

But hey! You can become the next Bezos! Isn't that grand? Freedom baby!

mrwww··on I accidentally built a nudity/porn platform
great analogy

mrwww··on Ask HN: Has anyone fixed their own bruxism?
there are several;

https://www.mah.se/fakulteter-och-omraden/Odontologiska-faku...

I'm using the first one. Pardon the swedish but pictures/google translate should sort things out. That's from a orofacial pain dept at a swedish uni

mrwww··on Ask HN: Has anyone fixed their own bruxism?
I'm onto the same track, there's something called myofunctional training/exercies which seem related but I've yet to try it. Would love to hear others opinions on it.
mrwww··on Ask HN: Has anyone fixed their own bruxism?
Two things has greatly reduced it and it resulted in a significant change in general QOL for me; 1. bite guard when sleeping. 2. jaw relaxation exercise program.

I have a malocclusion however. So ymmv perhaps.

Ask your dentist for a jaw relax program. It's just 5-6 simple exercises you do with your jaw, (I could upload a copy of my pdf if you'd like).

Something I'm looking into now is myofunctional training/exersices (haven't tried yet). The "science" on it doesn't seem 100% yet, and mostly promoted by one company. Thoughts?

Edit: forgot to mention that physiotherapy helped immensely as well. I had poor posture/forward tilting head, which i believe i feel into due to my malocclusion. Perhaps be wary of aches/bad alignment/discomfort in neck and shoulders and see whether physio for that could help alleviate.

mrwww··on Ask HN: How do you manage self-study?
You just haven't found something that you're interested in which also happens to intersect with being useful, yet.

Exploring more interests and different ways of doing things changed a lot of things for me.

Things can also change when you know how to do things in a way that aligns with you. I used to hate cooking, but found my take on it.

mrwww··on Xiaomi Recording ‘Private’ Web and Phone Use
Google accusing apple of "Selling privacy as a luxury good", well, isn't it? Clearly, if you don't want to be spied on you're going to have to pay a premium.
mrwww··on Eloquent JavaScript 3rd Edition (2018)
We used EJS in our basic programming courses in my CS program and it was a great book. Loved the exersices you could try directly in the book!

I now program JS for a living so i guess the book also really worked. Thank you for the third edition!

mrwww··on Things you can do with a browser in 2020
So many sites ask you for notification permission on first visit in a very spammy way. Or, put their "share this" in a spammy/ad-like location. and i think that's the problem, web site owners being dumb and pushy.

If there is a site you really like, that you want to share, and would want to recieve pertinent updates from, if you so choose without being hounded to do so, aren't you happy the feature is there?

When I implement this that's how I think anyway.

mrwww··on Firefox Preview adds support for recommended extensions, including uBlock Origin
It would be great if adblocking kills those sites. And they will.

It will force new business models, perhaps ones that doesn't just rely on eye-ball/attention seeking for the sake of ad impressions. And once a few pay-sites/subscriptions etc paves the way, it'll be easier to create services online that you can charge for. And now you can focus on making quality, valuable content.

People gladly pay $10 for a beer, but paying the same for some type of quality information service is a ridiculous proposition. The expectation of "free" created by the ad model plays a big part in that.

All pro users adblock. Which means it's slowly but surely on the way to the mainstream.
