Not to get too deep, but contemporary philosophy posits that our phones have become extensions of our brains (not only theoretically, but literally! See e.g. Andy Clark and David Chalmers, “The Extended Mind,” 1998). Our devices have access to profound parts of our lives— our habits, friends, desires, notes, thoughts… With something this fundamental, it’s vital to have privacy.

Thank you, Graphene team, for all the hard work you do.

My comment applies to a few pedantics I know personally, who stubbornly double space after periods when typing in regular situations.

Using the post’s framework, I wonder whether his “assholery” had any positive flipsides— maybe something like speaking openly when others (politely) wouldn’t?

The old typewriter typefaces were monospaced, ie. every character was the same width, but this is no longer the case. Virtually all typefaces today are proportionally spaced, not monospaced. So it’s redundant to leave extra room after periods.

I think dust mite allergy imitates some of the symptoms of sleep apnea, because your nasal passage gets blocked at night, waking you in a similar way to choking.

I’ve reached my mid-30s, largely ignoring the symptoms, but over the past few months I’ve been experiencing a truly terrible bout of insomnia.

I think it’s time to take the allergy seriously again. I’ll follow your guide and make some changes. If I could suggest an improvement to your guide: it may be useful to have a section (perhaps chapter 5?) on symptom relief. I’ve had friends say that a neti pot works wonders, for example.

Either way thanks for posting!

I do wish the author had provided a clear, layperson conclusion/results portion for each nootropic. For example, having read the section on fish oil, I still haven’t grasped whether the author observed positive results or not. Perhaps he is being rightfully cautious in drawing conclusions?

In agreement with all your points above.

Does the tool work for service-based industries? For example, let’s say I’m a hairdresser looking for customers. How would the tool differentiate between potential customers (eg. people who mention hair/beauty in a social media post) vs potential competitors/colleagues (whose social media posts would likely have the most keywords about hair/beauty)?
