Thc is found to increase deep sleep and reduce rem, which isn't ideal but significantly better than RX drugs like ambien and benzos.

The timing on this announcement sure is interesting considering what you mentioned that china just accomplished.

Understood. Will avoid similar idiotic behavior in the future.

Thanks for the warning.

Yeah instead of taking any responsibility for being a bunch of getrichquick assholes let's just say "oh it's always been like this" and keep trucking along. Nice job genius.

This comment is so stupid I'm kind of amazed.

Don't get so defensive techbro. Remember, if you don't like it here anymore just move away.

Then you can do what the other techbros do on this board, boast about their new five acre forest house and shiny new Tesla, then post pics from their window showing off the view.

Are you seriously asking how expanding wealth disparity contributes to homelessness?

Does rent increasing across the entirety of the bay area (which increasingly only techies can afford) not contribute to poorer people getting kicked out and become homeless?

So tech folks came in looking to get rich quick, creating huge wealth disparities which helped fuel the homeless problem and the associated social issues, but now that they can all work from home and is complaining that SF is now "a dump" they all picked up and left. Sounds about right.

Maybe you sniveling techies can all move to New Zealand like Jeff bezos and peter thiel and the rest of those assholes.

Go buy a fucking hobbit hovel and stay there.

HN aka dipshits who think they're smarter than reddit users.

Typical HN comment. Being pedantic versus arguing the point.

Your idiotic down-votes are just proving my point. Keep them coming.

My Chinese friends who live in multiple different cities are all telling me the pandemic is pretty much over where they are located. Businesses are basically back to normal. Even mask wearing is not as widespread as it used to be out in the open (still required in most indoor spaces). I guess they must all be CCP stooges and are lying to me.

People thinks the CCP is some omnipotent organization and can suppress any and all information. If that's the case, then how do we even know about the Uyghur detention camps?

Because HN, in general, hates China with a passion. Please self-censor and refrain from saying anything positive about China in the future or you will be down-voted to oblivion.

Instead of yapping about how you "deactivated your Facebook account"; maybe you should do some inner reflection on how your work directly contributes to potentially making the world a worse place to live.

I mean, this is HN after all, where the majority of users work in tech.

All these kinds of posts, in addition to recent stories of techies' in-fighting (parents vs. single techies, want the same bay area pay for moving to the Midwest, etc. etc.), really has gradually opened my eyes to what SV is all about.

I'm pretty sure my first comment describes where I find the irony.

I could post the definition of irony here but I'll likely get down-voted to hell and back for "snark" or some such, but I'm pretty sure this situation being ironic and/or as a way to "learn from your mistakes" is not mutually exclusive.

hurrdurr2 — Mon, 28 Sep 2020 20:42:06 +0000

The irony of this story being posted to HN, where the majority of users are in professions likely contributing to the worsening of internet and social media addiction.

Read the comments and it's a bunch of folks making fun of the author for "opting in". What a surprise there.

Every couple of decades we need a new boogeyman to fight against. Right now it's China. Every one of their companies is "controlled by the CCP" hence a CCP stooge. Clearly we must destroy these companies by any means necessary, that or outright take them over.

I've read somewhere that they can force the ISPs to ban wechat traffic? I'm not in IT so is this just complete hogwash?
