    I wasn't suggesting that people wouldn't be allowed to participate without a score, (which I think everyone has a score regardless of no debt?). I was suggesting that login / auth takes place by credit score verification. This would solve a couple problems. First, and most important, we know it's a real person commenting / participating. Second, systems could be designed to filter by score. For instance, if I'm researching products on reddit, I'd sure love to know A. it's a real person, and B. to filter by some score threshold. I'd wager people with higher scores have less incentive to get paid to shill some product online.

    Anyways, from the little research I've done, it's certainly illegal and not a proper mechanism for authentication. One can dream though :)

    Pick your poison, I suppose. All I know what we have now is a race to the bottom. Reviews, comments, dating sites, all a giant fabrication.

    We've always wanted to build a service which provides authentication through credit score verification. Whether its applied to dating apps, product review sites, HN. I'd sure love to filter by 650+ only. I'm certain it's illegal but it sure would help.

    how do you test for allergens? i did 5 years of immunotherapy shots, twice weekly at a doctors office and i had to stay 30 minutes after each shot for the anaphylaxis risk. it worked quite well but it was really inconvenient.

    Africans and Indians are not minorities. Sure, if they live in the US, but I'm pretty sure OP referring to people in other countries.

    There is a Swiss restoration youtube channel, my mechanics, that's restoring a 1973 Datsun 240Z. It's quite a project and worth watching if you're into that sort of thing. He's incredibly talented and loads of other restoration projects that are super interesting. Easily my favorite youtube channel!

    Steal money from rich people, you typically end up in prison.

    Not physically exhausting yourself is the real issue. It's our natural state as humans. We're not meant to be staring at screens having discussions about chronic sleep deprivation on an internet forum, we're meant to be outside moving our bodies.

    "Chronic sleep deprivation is the larger issue. And how we really don't have treatments on how to fix that"

    Sure we do, however, not everyone is willing to hike 20-30 miles a day and sleep in a tent. It's not practical but it is very effective.

    I use cursor daily, my business partner uses CC. Without a doubt, CC is certainly better, I'm just not willing to let go of the flow I spent the last year fine tuning. I'll probably make the leap after we finish the latest release.

    Yes. IIRC they made over $10B in profit last year. Easily the most successful crypto company ever.

    From what I’ve read it’s because there is a massive amount of Chinese investment in US equities and crypto markets.

    For those like me who didn’t know what 996 was: it stands for working from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., six days a week.

    I'm in Santa Barbara, CA. Good friend of mine just bought a shithole 3-2 1300sqft for $2.2m. $3M doesn't go very far considering 30 years ago it was retirement status almost anywhere.

    I went to get new tires on my truck last month. 3 of the 5 bays at the tire shop had teslas getting new shoes. I asked the shop owner and he said EVs eat tires. Like 9-12 months max lifespan, great for business. I couldn't believe it but I've always heard there's exponential wear on tires relative to weight.

    Wow. Now I have to go back and watch Silicon Valley season 1. Thanks for the reminder.

    "Resting allows the temperature to drop, which creates less pressure, so the juices aren't forced out of the meat nearly as strongly."

    I was always under the impression that if you pull your meat at let's say 128, resting it will bring the internal temperature up, finishing at like 132-134. Is this wrong?

    Bad actors will always exploit whatever systems are available to them. Always have, always will.

    There's an add-on called sponsor block, which works remarkably well, that will just skip sponsored ads inside videos.
  23. chasebank parent
    Probably not, but the country clubs where I live all have men's locker rooms that have full bars, poker tables, and lounge areas with big screen tv's.

    Yes, we're looking for e2e. Should have mentioned. Telegram would be perfect if there was online status.
  25. chasebank parent
    We tried it for a day but the UI was extremely laggy and slow. Since we're forced to move, we'd like to move to E2E encryption as well.

    Define advertising. Studies suggest that as much as 80% of news articles may have been placed by PR firms rather than generated through independent reporting. This forum is a classic case where blog posts are masquerading as authentic content, when in reality, they're simply another form of advertising.

    I remember reading about how the current recommended dose of Vitamin D was a statistical error in a study and has since been corrected to the tune of 10-11x higher.

    "The recommended daily intake of vitamin D has a long history, originally set at 400 IU/day in the early-to-mid 20th century, including the 1970s, primarily to prevent rickets in children and bone disease in adults. In 2010, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) updated the recommendation to 600 IU/day for most adults and 800 IU/day for those over 70. However, a major statistical error in the IOM’s analysis was later uncovered by researchers, who showed that the calculation underestimated the amount needed to achieve sufficient blood levels of vitamin D in 97.5% of the population. Their corrected analysis suggested a required intake closer to 7,000 IU/day, an order of magnitude higher. Despite this, most official health organizations have not revised the RDA, and the 600–800 IU/day guideline remains standard." [chatgpt summary]

    Is it cheaper?
