For me, it was when I had to climb a metal structure for work. I didn't want to be afraid in front of my peers.

My palms still get sweaty, but mentally I have no irrational fear anymore. As long as think the harness is good, I'm okay.

I don't think it's so much that I got over the fear, just that mentally I know that the equipment has me and I'm not going to fall to my death.

I went tandem skydiving for the first time. I think I felt afraid, but I just decided to go through the motions.

As corny as it sounds, I think it's just mind over matter. Know that you're capable of doing whatever simple thing is required, and knowing that the bridge railing, safety harness, etc is going to protect you.

If you can stand on a bridge 1 foot in the air, you can stand on a bridge 1,000 feet in the air. If you can balance on a beam 1 foot off the ground, you can balance on a beam 100 feet off the ground. If you can climb a rock wall 6 feet high, you can climb a rock wall 600 feet high.
Those seem like awesome features!

For Google (and almost every provider that isn't very specifically targeting the highest levels of security at the expense of usability), the answer to the rhetorical question I posed is "yes", which implies that they can read your mail, without having to target you or anything you have.

While (as you correctly pointed out) the fact that you lose access to the data if you lose your passphrase doesn't prove that the data is completely inaccessible without it, the opposite (being able to access the data even if you forget/lose all your secrets/keys) conclusively proves that such access is possible.

I've been running OpenWrt on my original r2 as my primary router and it has been rock solid. (both snapshot builds and now builds from the 21.02 branch). The default builds for the r2 available for download from OpenWrt are very bare bones so I don't recommend that route.

The onboard mediatek wifi isn't usable but using a mini pcie ath10k supported wifi module has worked great.

It definitely wasn't easy initially tracking down info for getting things working. No argument there.

I'd be happy to share my OpenWrt build config for the r2 for anyone interested.
All of the resources are out there if you are willing/able to develop your own plan and self-direct. This is more of a personal trainer as a service.

"we" are society deciding on an economic system and taxation regime.

"we" currently reward people with this amount of wealth generally because of a majority belief in one or more of the following (none of which are true in my opinion):

(1) They deserve this money, because either:
(1a) it represents a proportional reward for work put in
(1b) any money gained under a market system are deserved/earnt, and taxing those earnings is stealing

(2) That rewarding people in this manner (without limits) is the only way to motivate people to work hard, and that this ultimately produces better outcomes than distributing our economic output more evenly

I do have doubts about whether caffeine every day long-term is effective. We seem to develop tolerance, and at least personally, I eventually need it in the morning just to get back to baseline. But caffeine as a situational stimulant has been my practice since early adulthood. Rarely it is daily use for short stretches when very busy. But usually just one or two cups of coffee a week, in the early afternoon when I'm feeling sluggish. It's a drug and like any other it has its uses and its downsides :)
Using renewable energy still takes that opportunity away from other users who end up stuck with X% of their energy use provided by non-renewables, so the real carbon footprint is still similar.
Notice this more. When people have a side on a topic they tend to find every excuse for its shortcomings and easily believe every positive.

People seem to have a lot of trouble accepting that things they favor have negative aspects and things they don’t have merit. The world isn’t just good and evil, most of it is striking a balance between positives and negatives and we all need to get better at doing this objectively instead of picking a side and afterwards finding a justification.

Agreed. It’s been fine during covid because I have barely left the house. The times I have it has not performed well battery-wise. Will be looking to bump size next round.
Yeah, that's why a lot of people don't do it, or just ballpark it.

If you want to be more exact, some ways to make it easier are:

1) eat prepared food that has caloric info on it, like a pre-made salad

2) cook recipes that provide caloric info

3) make very simple meals (ex. 1 cup yogurt + 1 tbsp peanut butter + 1 banana) where you can do the math yourself

But yeah, for most people they'd rather ballpark it and have less stress. Maybe that means a 4-pack instead of a 6-pack, but you're still going to look good.
The question was about Google, and there (as with almost any other provider) you can. Most users would be pretty upset (no sarcasm) if something so small (sarcasm) as losing all their means to authenticate actually caused them to lose data.

> Mandarin is not written Chinese to my knowledge. […] Source: I’m native Chinese

You are confusing written language with writing system, probably due to domestic and global propaganda efforts that have been going on for 70 years. This really undermines the scientific effort of linguists and just sows confusion, as evidenced by your mislabelling languages as dialects, and forcing the rest of the world to invent new words like "topolect" for existing concepts that the communist party does not like to be true.

My writing system is the Latin alphabet. I can write the languages Danish, English, French, German, Hungarian, Italian etc. etc. with it.

Another writing system is the Cyrillic alphabet. I can write Bulgarian, Russian, Serbian etc. with it.

So the writing system is an orthogonal concept to the written language.

As an analogue, the writing system we are discussing is the Chinese characters. One can write with it for example Cantonese, classical Chinese, Hokkien, Japanese, Mandarin, Zhuang, among others.

The distinction between traditional and simplified you mentioned is minor and not a fundamental property of the language written with it. Example: Cantonese can be and is written in both simplified and traditional.

> the written form is universal

That's not true. The languages Cantonese, Hokkien, Mandarin belong to the same family (Sinitic) but have different grammar, lexicon and word order; these differences are also reflected in writing.
I've personally been tracking my diet publicly for over a year now. You can see my public record here -- www.joelogs.com

Over the years I've been on/off with tracking. But I've been able to stick with it over a year now, the longest I ever have. The big difference between now and then is that I'm okay with being 80% accurate if it means easy consistency.

Previously it was very important for me to be 100% accurate. This is especially difficult to do when you eat out. By allowing myself to be imperfect in my logging, it eases the burden to track.

Here's what I do now.

1) Take a photo of everything I eat
2) Log right after eating if I feel like it, but usually I log at the end of the day

Sometimes I underestimate. Sometimes I overestimate. I think it washes out in the net. If my logging is really off it will show in my scale and progress pics.

Doing the above has given me lots of visibility into my diet and unlocked optimizations.

Consistency > Accuracy
Is this how you imagine it's going to play out?

Bin Laden was a successful businessman in Sudan during that country's dark times. A dictator instituted sharia, and Bin Laden was able to run a variety of businesses in its capital. He was not a world renowned terrorist at this time, merely an intelligent and capable Islamic fundamentalist. It was only later he would move East and begin plotting a reign of cruel terror.
You can solo a glider (with a student license) at 14. So one could be born as late as 1990 and become a pilot in 2004.

Someone born as early as 1981 is still in their 30's today. "A few years ago" winds the clock back to 1978ish.

This are highly subjective design choices. Hence why they are perpetually unsolved. For me, Netflix on fire Tv is by far the worst experience I encounter lately. I had to relocate the icon because if I accidentally click into it, it takes me 5 minutes to get back to Home Screen. Yes I timed it. Amazon has given apps ability to control the exit app UI and naturally apps do not want to let you exit. They hide and make it difficult to get to the exit app “button” and then still ask “are you sure?” But just getting into Netflix, there is a loading screen, a profile selection screen, a loading screen, then the last screen I was on (or home), then I have to scroll to the navigation bar, go all the way down to “exit netflix”, yes I’m sure, loading screen, then finally back home on fire tv. It takes 5 minutes and I never streamed any content. The Disney+ app is nearly as bad. It’s just faster so doesn’t take as long but requires a lot of remote control clicks. They actually make me choose a profile when we only have 1 profile.

The text channels in mumble/teamspeak are pretty much irrelevant because matrix already has good text channels, the IRC part. The text channels there are just to post the odd link or something in mumble/ts.

There's a reason discord is winning, and i'm saying that as a matrix+mumble/ts user. They integrated modern IRC and modern (worse but free)/teamspeak nicely.

Honestly, I don't really want to file feature requests about this because if it's not as good as mumble i'm not going to use it for voice.

And making it as good as mumble is not trivial, because browser tech sucks. WebRTC is entirely inadequate imo. (I have messed around with POCs myself)

Because if you don't trust them, it's plausible that some or all of the people running the infrastructure aren't actually privacy activists, but moles planted by the state, acting as agents of the state because they are employed by the state, paid by the state, and specifically tasked to pretend to be activists and build a trap.

My reason is mostly the above (and other related security reasons). In particular the ability to clean sessions, cookies etc. just by hitting the trash can next to the URL bar.

Secondary reason is on a small screen usability. The simpler the better. Firefox Focus is simple, minimal settings, and of course quick and easy to reset sessions.

100% BULLSHIT. The fees on Bitcoin, on chain, have been less than 75 cents the entire year of 2021. The average tx on chain the past 9 months has been about 10-15 cents. Unless you stand here trying to tell everyone that 10 cents is a crazy transaction fee. Quit lying, or better yet quit spreading FUD purposely.
Maybe it was someone protesting, or sending a message. It was a big trader(s) selling or shorting a lot of bitcoin and causing a cascade of liquidations on leveraged trades (over $1B). However, when the margin traders have been liquidated, the price has a better support for continued upside.

Here's a quote from the introduction of the illuminati book:

> In mockery and imitation of God’s 12 tribes, Satan blessed 12 bloodlines. One of these bloodlines was the Ishmaeli bloodline from which a special elite line developed alchemy, assassination techniques, and other occult practices. One bloodline was Egyptian/Celtic/Druidic from which Druidism was developed. One bloodline was in the orient and developed oriental magic. One lineage was from Canaan and the Canaanites. It had the name Astarte, then Astorga, then Ashdor, and then Astor. The tribe of Dan was used as a Judas Iscariot type seed. The royalty of the tribe of Dan have descended down through history as a powefful Satanic bloodline. The 13th or final blood line was copied after God’s royal lineage of Jesus. This was the Satanic House of David with their blood which they believe is not only from the House of David but also from the lineage of Jesus, who they claim had a wife and children. The 13th Satanic bloodline was instilled with the direct seed of Satan so that they would not only carry Christ’s blood--but also the blood of his "brother" Lucifer.

> Because you don't simply do it for the stuff. You do it for the brain juices which are released when you win.

Well sure, but those motivations exist regardless of any financial rewards. We are talking here about the additional effect of financial incentives. IMO the possibility of making say $1m or $10m is pretty motivating if you don't have much. But once you reach say $1B, financial incentives are unlikely to be as relevant to you. You're made for life, why should you do anything you don't want to do.

When they say "primary method of cannabis consumption" do they mean the primary method of consumption in the past 30 days? Or do they mean the primary method of lifetime consumption?

I'm also not sure "primary method of consumption" is the right question to ask? If someone smokes three days a week and has edibles the other four their primary method would be edibles but that doesn't erase the risk of the smoking.
Thanks for the comments, they’re good points. I’ll update the page as you suggested as yeah right now at the PoC stage it’s on the slow side.
