I’m not saying you should knowingly take placebos, I’m suggesting that if you don’t know that a treatment would have no real effect, and you think it did, and it actually makes you feel better (particularly in psychological cases) then its not a bad thing. If however you are intentionally avoiding treatments with…

Not sure I agree with this. To contrast your argument: If the placebo effect works for a person, then does it matter?

This seems to only be on opera mini

If by negotiate you mean they suggested a number I said a number that was roughly 35% more and they said ok without any argument... then yes? Really it just made me feel like I should have asked for even more, I expected a fight.

Interesting, so a brute force remote attack set up to only try passwords of (3 characters)-(3 characters)-(3 characters)-(3 characters) wouldn’t be practical?

What are your thoughts on Apple’s keychain password generator with its four groups of 3 alphanumeric characters and hyphens separating it. It seems insecure to me in that it is only really 12 characters (since a decent amount of them are predictably placed hyphens)

Paper usage has had a significant decline since the computer, I don’t think paper towels in bathrooms is quite at the level of paper waste that came from magazines, newspapers, and other print.

The minipc linked here is between 1 and 3 thousand dollars... why not buy a router?

This is exactly why I have some money automatically removed from my bank account and put into a savings account that i dont remember the password for... also the same reason I don’t have a debit card.

You missed “What are your considerations regarding natural selection”

The smart watch is on my wrist, phone is next to the bed (on the floor because its notification lights are stupidly bright and I can’t hear it vibrate on the rug while I’m sleeping).

Ya, generally I’ll disable the overlay when installing stuff, using my bank, email... etc anyhow. Honestly though I’ve been able to tweak the settings for twilight enough to make it a very dark red / black that I’ve fallen asleep while looking at / reading things, so i’m fairly certain its at a good setting. Its…

Ah so I did the same thing with twilight by increasing the “screen dim” slider and fiddling with intensity and temperature, essentially making the overlay a very dark red / black that also dims the screen significantly. I’ve had no issues falling to sleep while reading something on my tablet as a result, lol.

I don’t see how picture quality matters if you are already altering the picture’s colors.

It is a minor problem, at least for me, I rarely take screenshots anyhow.

Android has had twilight for quite some time... it also doesn’t require root and for that reason alone I’d be unlikely to use f.lux
