i think it's the result of monopolies: facebook, reddit, twitter, instagram, youtube, etc are too big. If they weren't this big they would really care about users. If they ban few popular users every months, users aren't gonna stop coming others will take their place in few weeks soon enough, no consequences.
definitely, also internet has gone from a place where you could discuss things, good or bad, not feel you are gonna get arrested, lose your job, and be banned for life.
novelty is definitely helpful, i have found I'm interested in things up until I get it then I lose all interest. I.e. A new game, I play it obsessively until I figure out how to beat it. That's probably very normal thing, but going from 1000 interest to 0 seems suspicious
I dont remember exactly, but it's possible to create a completely anon search engine. User encrypts the query using their key and sends it to search engine, search engine now doesn't know the query, but then it encrypts its entire database using public key of user and see if hashes meet for keywords?... something like that
my grandma house has stuff STILL running, it's been running for 40 years. Fans, AC, Fridge, Sewing machine, Grinder, Juice Machine. Everything built like a tank and works non-stop. Heck even the light bulbs.
It's hard to be definitive, but I can see how if you were A/B testing then all changes would have indicated improvements of all KPIs, yet as a whole cumulatively over long term they led to downfall. It just might not be possible to glean ultimate long term human-nature's response from simple week-over-week active users count. Kind of like falling for local maxima and then falling to global low.
I wish there was something like stackoverflow but not toxic and only for these kind of questions. I've found https://security.stackexchange.com/ to be pretty good around security design questions
i dont like react but even in react there is clear distinction, I've found tons of logic within templates of php like from <?php to ?>.. anything at anytime could cause anything. Kinda gives me global variable vibes
Is there a service that gives thorough but weekly/bi-weekly news and you can select what subjects it's about. Well written, concise, factual (exclude all opinion pieces, celeb/sports news, and shopping stuff.. just tech, science, and business)
future historians would probably remember this era as post-industrialization hyper rent sucking era fueled by short-sighted govt policies, lobbyists/interest groups, and greed.
What I find sad is masses making average salary, quietly suffering in silence with their heads down and feeling ashamed for not being able to buy even common fruits in quantities as they used to just a few years ago.
No, it's not, I lived in a "3rd" world country and in some ways quality of life was better because some things were just so much cheaper. I was with people who weren't rich by any measure, living paycheck to paycheck and both parents working to get by. But despite that, it was STILL affordable to go out as a family every week and have great dinner or ice cream. Also here it's unheard of to get "custom-made" stuff, there it was not too expensive to get anything custom made, need a bigger bed, call the carpenter. Need some shelfs, call the carpenter, Need a door that fits you odd sized hole in the wall, call metal worker. Need pillows of certain size, go to a factory area not too far away and give them sizes, they are making 1000s a day, they can make you one too. There is STILL milk delivery at your door step, an old tradition around the world, but now it's UBER-approach. Quality of life is better because even with low salary you can get lot of stuff... which is a side effect of production being close to you, no sales taxes, and also lack of 1000 rules making 1 man operation feasible. People eat out there like it's free food.
Cooking can easily take up 2-4 hours a day. 1 hour for prep, 1 hour for cooking, 1 hour for cleaning up afterwards (stove, utensils, dishes, table, kitchen floor, sink, etc)
Explore gut feelings and thoughts back in the head. Learn when to rely on hope/belief and when to change certain facts/assumptions and reevaluate situation. Try approaching situation top to bottom, starting from basic facts about the situation. Think from all sides, build a model of what's going on and see if models fit with reality. Imagine explaining current situation to someone and see if it sounds obviously flawed when spoken out.
I'm not sure what it's but all books suggested for all self learning seem to be not like books I am used to having as textbooks. I expect textbook to have lot of diagrams, colors (as dumb it sounds, pictures/colors help me remember things), tips, questions and answers in the back. But all recommended books seem to boring novel style books and everyone swearing by it. How can you learn math by reading novels?
