  • Yeah, I'm very well aware how double blind works and my point is exactly related to your 2nd paragraph. Be it coincidence or actual real placebo caused healing (which happens) it would be a major perspective trauma and it definitely happens!

    Personally I do think that mental states absolutely impact biology through many invisible forces like hormone production and behavior. So getting a placebo and believing that it works can stimulate specific hormone production or healthy behaviors like going for a jog which ends up legit healing the person. It's easy to see how this could lead someone to a more spiritual or religious point of view because in this experience something like "faith" is legitimately healing them tho not in the way they think.

  • Sometimes I think about the opposite where a patient is given placebo and then is cured. Imagine living the rest of your life knowing for certain that your body could cure whatever ailment it's going through but it's like naaah

    Would legit drive people to deep spiritualism if not religion.

  • Not an american but seems like US' case law is very much precedented here. I don't have a source at hand but there has been at least a dozen similar cases all sided with the victims. Even official training of ICE explicitly says "do not stand in front of the vehicle ever".

    If there's no justice here then it's entirely on lack of will rather than law.

  • F*** You! Co-Creator of Go Language is Rightly Furious Over This Appreciation Email

  • Fully agree. I'm generally an AI optimist but I don't understand communicating through AI generated text in any meaningful context - that's incredibly disrespectful. I don't even use it at work to talk business with my somewhat large team and I just don't understand how anyone would appreciate an AI written thank you letter. What a dumb idea.

  • Vietnam Bans Unskippable Ads, Requires Skip Button to Appear After 5 Seconds - Saigoneer

  • 100% and I'm an early adopter of all decentralized platforms but I still run IT of my all extended family and have a few connections through these platforms so even with my limited use I'm still exposed to so many scams. I can't imagine what a daily normal user sees, it must be just scam after scam.

  • There are several domains specific search features like duckduckgo bangs that allow you to directly search popular websites with text like interstellar !imdb - it's super useful! I think firefox has something like this built in too.

  • Nice but all I want is actually liability. Meta should be hold liable for each and every single scam ad and here in south-east asia it's just rampant.

    I see nothing but blatant scams, especially on Meta platforms. I don't mean simple e-commerce scams either where you buy some trash and it never gets sent to you - it's full on phishing and finance scams.

    I just dont understand how are we collectively ok with this - every platform should have the burden of full liability, period. If someone gets their money taken through scam ad not only Meta should pay them back but suffer a 100x fine as well. The unskippable ad is nothing compared to this.

  • If you could add one book to the required reading curriculum for people under 18, what would it be?

  • How To Be Perfect by Michael Schur (of The Good Place). I'm kinda sad how little ethics we teach these days and this book is a very good approachable overview of contemporary ethics that would make a huge difference for our society as a whole.

  • Very much agree with this argument though it's not new. IP law has always been a secret weapon against US which is mostly a service economy country.

    EU just seems too weak to take advantage of this though

  • Have you looked into streaming from a desktop? I'm using sunshine/moonlight to stream my video editor from gaming PC to Thinkpad and it works really well! The quality and responsiveness is really good these days to the point where it's hard to even tell it's a stream.

  • This is a common security fallacy as sure you might not drop your laptop like you're not crashing your car but once you hit something it's nice to have airbags right? People pay several thousand dollars to recover hard drives of dropped laptops and can you imagine being in such stressful position? So a bit of safety goes a long way.

  • Weight is definitely old of those things that you only notice when you notice but it's still just a nice to have rather that critical feature. Like a more ergonomic keyboard etc. Many good parts make a good machine.

  • You need internals protected from basic shock. Macbooks are notoriously very poor regarding drops while you can play volleyball with a plastic thinkpad.

  • Hard disagree, macbooks have some of the most unergonomic and awful frame design. The sharp corner alone are just so peak stupidity.

    I think people fall for "heavy == quality" falacy way too often here especially since the aluminum frame is actually worse at protecting the internals.
