I like selfcontrolapp.com , been using it for a long time. There's no (straightforward) way to remove the block with this one, and it works on all the browsers.

You give a compelling argument. If the same strategy was being executed by someone else, I'd even consider giving it a thought. Heck, if the president was executing this independently, I'd still give him the benefit of doubt. But I don't trust Elon with what you're suggesting. He has nefarious motives.

I have similar feeing for Gmail (it's effective anti spam engine), google maps and google docs (which pioneered shared docs. It feels outdated on many fronts now, but it was a pioneer).

+1 work - life separation is a must. And not everyone can afford a home office. Also isolation is a real threat.

Will call you old fashioned for that. I recently went to a restaurant with a large group of friends and they used toast tab for online ordering. The experience was much better than ordering in person. Each family was able to order and pay for themselves. We could add extra items to our order whenever we wanted.

Without the app I would've had to keep an eye for a roaming waiter, call them out and then place an order. This takes away from the dining experience. I also don't like to wait for the server to clear plates, take the card, swipe it and get it back. The old fashioned ways will disappear for good.

Anyone who's worked in "creative" field and has stepped in an art gallery would tell you that it's very normal to play on emotions, exaggerate and make viewers feel intense emotions. I don't know who the apology is meant for.

Lot of R&D, tech companies operate out of west. Improving tech in the west reduces the cost for the entire world.

From what I remember, they put a toilet in a clean white empty room, and flushed some ink. Then they looked how far the ink spots splattered. But don't quote me on this.

If it gains any traction, you'd be able to get a fairly decent Temu version in about 6 months from now for $30.

Off topic, but I've been missing CSS & JS warriors on HN, who'd make it a point to expose how a certain hero image on the landing site was 4MB big or expose the scandalous use of an outdated version of jQuery on a S&P 500 company's website.

It's naive to see religion as fairy tales. If used correctly, the tales are a medium of communication to instill values, discipline and morals in the masses.

tldr; In 1968, the U.S. Army tested a deadly nerve agent called VX. The nerve agent killed thousands of sheep grazing near the testing site. The Army denied responsibility for the deaths. The article also details other instances of the Army mishandling dangerous chemicals.
