Ondigo commented on Ask HN: Do you read news daily?    · Posted by u/samuel246

I used to read over 40 newspapers/sources of news per day. I speak four languages fluently, so I was interested in reading different views of the same issues. I stopped doing this a few years ago, but here is my recommendation:

1- Get your news from as many sources as possible and from different countries.

2- Go from extreme left, to extreme right to have an idea about each source

3- Form your own opinion. Do not consume news only, but try to take a step back and think about the whole thing.

4- If you did 3 very well, you will see some dynamics and behind the scene influence from different people/ideologies..etc. I'm not talking about conspiracy theories or negative influence (which does exist). I'm talking about the line that each news source follows to get you the news.

5- If you did 4 very well, you understand the news and you are no longer required to follow them every day.

PS: you will find yourself drawn to specific sources because they match your beliefs. That's ok too, just be open about other sources as well.

If you are not harming anyone, there is no limit. E.g.: I would not want to see people murdering each other even if they are consenting. I would not ever eat dog meat, but I am fine with other people eating dogs or cows or pigs or whatever.

You can throw your punch anywhere, as long as my nose is not in there. (Take this sentence literally)

Please do not get into the metaphysical debate of what harm will mean broadly. Not in the mood.

Adult people having a fun night in a hotel room is not harming anyone.

Why could you not just unplug it? Any AI is going to need to interface with the external world. It's probably going to be quite large as well and require lots of power + networking. That leaves it quite vulnerable to having its "supply"-lines cut.

AI-doomsayers should spend more time engaging with military history and theory.

The last time my mother in law visited and I suggested taking the day off, she said "but I thought you protected the internet? Will it be safe without you?"

This reminds me of a time back in the late 90's when I was doing support for internet access. I had a very old man on the phone trying to connect to the internet using a CD (similar to AOL). I then say to him please close all the windows you have open. He says "one moment" comes back after a minute and says "I closed all windows in the house but it's very hot, what do I do now".

Ondigo commented on Ask HN: What office chair do you use for long hour sitting?    · Posted by u/aviCC
Ondigo · 4 years ago
I bought one off amazon, made in china. It turn out to be a good chair but it did put a pressure on my thighs. So I bought a seat cushion and boy that changed everything.

Whatever chair you are buying, try and buy a seat cushion it will improve your comfort considerably.
