Not going to even read this post. While I have been really bullish on Google I am now tired of them constantly baiting us with vaporware announcements unfortunately.

The hotspot errors drive me insane. You’re basically connecting two device from the same company that happens to make both software and hardware on those two devices. I can’t understand this.

AirDrop and hotspot work 50% of the time for me. It’s a shame since they must own all of the stack for those technologies

And in the WiFi/BT department, they almost own all the stack. Guess Airdrop and hotspot would work all the time! Oops.

He was such a great guy. Wholesome. What a loss.

Kramnik has proven himself a troll and did a lot of damage to the reputation of honest and otherwise wholesome people and this without credible proof at all. That those allegations persist under the form of news article is very unfortunate to those victims of his smearing.

Although I'm not an expert on this case, it's wise to remain skeptical when hearing only one party's perspective on a court decision. The science in question might be dubious, but there could be other evidence, or the story might be more complex than it appears.

I tend to root for the underdog against an institution, but we've already witnessed significant exaggerations and manipulations from the defense in public cases. The Serial podcast comes to mind, as well as the series Making a Murderer.

The selected quote is not a counterpoint to the claims of the activists. It’s merely an admission that mass tourism causes issues.

Also as I said they did not interview him but only quoted another interview.

I would like to comment on the Guardian reporting. It was always a news organization that I loved but their reporting has become so one-sided that it’s now questionable if this is really journalism at all.

Why not interview the local elected politicians or the local tourism organization? Apparently there’s a problem with those two resorts being built. Are they really that outrageous? Why not report on them even just by calling a representative?

Even if they are biased it would be a counterpoint to the other (also biased) claims in the article.

I wonder how this microbe influenced human morality. Is the moral idea that promiscuity is bad a vestige of some healthy recommendation to avoid multiple partner to not get or propagate syphilis?

Twitter's a classic case of addiction for me.

It hooks you with a quick dopamine rush but also sneaks in some low-key anxiety.

The buzz comes fast and goes fast, while the anxiety creeps in slow but hangs around longer.

When I'm stressed, I go after those dopamine hits, but they just end up making my stress worse.

That's why I've stopped using it and feeling much better for it.

This comment is trying to discredit David Grusch. He merely said that those potential beings might not be aliens but might be resident of earth and maybe on other dimensions. He also mentions the Vatican role on one occasion in the 40’s for a case happening in Italy.

It’s quite disheartening to see this person putting himself and his career in jeopardy being discredited on the internet by anonymous people using bad faith arguments and mislabeling his claims.

I’ve been meditating every day for 3 years. I now meditate more than 1 hours every day.

How did I do it? My only goal was to do at least 1 min of meditation a day but every day. No excuse.

It’s my opinion that this is the best and easiest method to build a meditation practice.
