Is it literally just the lightbulb? Is it accessible? You should just do it, they likely won’t notice, and even if they do they’re not going to arrest you. If you’re within 30 min of Escondido CA I’ll even come do it for you.
tbh I think I prefer the 10 ms death over dying of old age. The months leading up to a death-by-old-age are still usually pretty unpleasant. Agreed that the toll on the family is rough though
I'm angling to die in bed of old age, but at full cognition and perfect awareness of what lies ahead I'm sure a lot of people would pick the Titan over the toll slow death and it's related miseries takes on a family (this is a very weird sentence to type about the Titan, lol)
>They find ways to run out of time no matter how much free time they start with
IMO you’re observing Parkinson’s law, “work expands to fill the allotted time”. The students who take a million classes look like they have time management in check, and I’m sure some do, but they also are benefiting from the inverse of Parkinson’s law — if they can _only_ allot X hours a week to a task, they’re going to make the most of those X hours. This practically holds regardless of the student’s time management skills. I should know, I have horrible time management, and only succeed by overcommitting and rising to the challenge.
Imo those numbers are pretty inflated unless you’re taking a full load of the hardest classes offered. Usually you pair some GE requirements or electives with heavier material. I really don’t want do some sort of humble brag here, so I’ll just say that if I followed your math it would come out to like 90+ hours. I promise, I was not that diligent.
I love brave's native ad blocking, so the idea of _even MOAR_ ad blocking appeals to me. But what is the distinction between "1st party ads" vs 3rd party? I'm a noob in this arena, so I'd need an example.
other notes:
- Love the discussion of features instead of vibes
- Even though I don't understand the comparison table, I appreciate the attempt at quick summary.
- I'm not even a fan of Kagi, if anything I'm mildy opposed. But "a browser with less ads / more privacy" may legitimately win me over.
I'm guessing that the likes of daring fireballs ads wouldn't be blocked - they originate from the server hosting the website. Google ads and such would be blocked, because they don't originate on the site.
I can see the theory. First-party ads should (but very much could not) be more privacy friendly. Tracking the user becomes difficult because you need to convince people to add your tracking coda to their website without incentives like Ad payments. So you most likely have to tune ads to what is displayed on the page, ultimately making the page and the user's attention products (which is strictly superior to the entirety of the user being the only product).
lol, at first this comment confused me because I googled Daring Fireballs, and I saw no ads (ublock origin doing a really good job here). Opening on Brave though, I do indeed see the ads. Thanks for the clarifying example.
It almost feels like a really clever landing page -- if you click the link from hacker news, it shows you a tailored experience that you'd be familiar with. But looking at the link, I see no parameters that would result in that kind of landing page customization. Also it seems contrary to Kagi's spirit to do that sort of thing.
That landing page is 5? years old. Most of Kagi/Orion users in the early days came from HN (and still do). I am a passionate HN user and I took that screenshot personally.
> people who like Hawaiian pizza probably think their opinion is more common than it is (false consensus)
I supposed I just got called out -- is this actually a rare thing? I thought it was like, a meme to hate pineapple on pizza? Obviously some people do, but I have never thought of my opinion (liking the combination) as especially rare.
I think only those actually selling Hawaiian pizza know how popular it is. From observing how often I've seen it as an option, over the counter, or frozen, in various countries, my personal suspicion is that it's indeed actually more commonly appreciated than those who think it's a mark of good taste to hate it would believe.
It also probably depends on the country. As a French person I never met anyone who thought it was a good idea. I also don't think I have ever seen a pizza with pineapple in a good pizza restaurant. Only in bad fast food restaurants.
I guess it's quite different in the US.
I have never said French was a standard regarding pizzas. Read my message again.
I'm just saying that maybe the proportion of aficionados of pineapple pizzas varies from country to country.
> As a French person I never met anyone who thought it was a good idea.
If they serve it, whether in "good" restaurant or in fast food in France, it's probably because the strange people that pay money to enjoy them do exist. Perhaps you need to enlarge your social circle.
I think this is just the joke, where the author must not like pineapple on pizza, and is insinuating that those of us who do are making a cognitive error in thinking that there are numerous others who do.
Speaking of which, if you're ever at a Mellow Mushroom, get the Pacific Rim.
... it can't be that rare or it wouldn't be a common combination right?
Like, you'd be rare if you wanted black licorice on pizza, and you'd know you're rare b/c you wouldn't find opportunities to order it.
- lemonade stands without a business license
- posting fliers on traffic light posts, yard sale signs, etc
- turning over a solid double yellow line to get into a plaza
There are lots of “illegal” things we do every day, because they are better for society than strictly following the law.
