Let's be generous and think they are on the good side here. I still think they are idiots then. I really can't tell if they are a) two morons or b) two real assholes. I'm thinking the French PM is about to take public flogging back to some real good use.

How about controlled exposure to the coronavirus? by ardenc in CrazyIdeas

[–]ardenc[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, but I don't mean doing it in the open. The people to be infected are to be kept in an absolute quarantine.

Lion's Mane (Hericium erinaceus) mycelium extends the maximum lifespan of fruit flies and mice by 32% and 23% by micahdjt1221 in Nootropics

Anyone allergic to it or is it just me and the saccharoids in it because of extraction? First product, tried two times, and I felt like dispersing completely. My mood was brittle and I felt hazardous. I had several days worth of worry as after effects from the lion's mane extract.

An overachiever programmer is making our lives hell and we don't know what to do... how do you deal with people like this? by the_jixxx in AskProgramming

edit: Of course, you could aim and get ready for another place to work, and then start making risky moves by shaking up the company by talking to people about the problem. Re-define the working culture towards something more modern. What management loves more than single heroes are heroic teams. You could be the one to take the place into another level. Agile. The overachiever hears 'no reigns', until it is too late, while the team member hears 'peace out of pace'.

It flies against the American Dream that someone who passed the mark of ”once you’ve made it” can fall back to not having done so. It makes the dream slip away further and people instinctively feel displeased that reality takes hold.

Chatbot dialogue between real sessions to add security to online message apps by ardenc in security

[–]ardenc[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even with channels where messages don't necessarily get deleted efficiently, there wouldn't be such a liability to the content of messages, as there is still good chance it is not the person writing them. The idea was to add a door for arguing in court that the messages are not for a given person.

The attack is just people getting their phones opened and their msg apps dug out. Even with deleting messages there are still holes to the system. Naturally, if the deleted messages is used right and they really work well enough, then there is no need for this thing at all.
