Can you use GrapheneOS with your bank app? With a digital wallet for NFC cards? With Uber or Lyft? (Asking seriously, not rhetorically.)

Some places mitigate to positive effect. One example ia japan where zoning is done nationally to remove nimby power by dluting the hyper local nimby power

> IMO it's not possible in theory to build a branch predictor that never makes potentially exploitable mispredictions.

I believe the Mill hardware design would be immune by design because the hardware is in-order (relying on other trickery for its performance). Of course, it's still vaporware, but the noises made have been fairly competent.

So in some ways, yes, but in other ways, what if you didn't need a branch predictor in the CPU.

Hair loss is widely attributed to creatine. With several studies out there saying that there's no connection.

I havent noticed that yet and ita been a half a year. Kind of sad, would save me the trouble of shaving it off every couple months

That’s not what they mean. ADHD is a legitimate and sometimes debilitating disability that involves significantly more than being distracted, and distraction is not even really the right word for ADHD

I know the science. But I know three people who take/to it. All three of them had hair trouble after. Again: I know the papers. I still won't touch it.

Hair trouble? Like they lost their hair?

I share your concern and I'd add one more:

The motivation behind wanting to be 10% stronger will (probably not) go away after starting a creatine regime. So where do you go from there? Testosterone? Steroids? I can't speak for anyone else but when I work out I am usually trying to meet or beat my last session (despite the march of death) so I think I'm at risk of going too far with supplementation.

You wait two years for the drugs that inhibit the muscle growth inhibitor hormone to get through clinical trials and then do a mounjaro plus the inhibitor inhibitor cocktail to cut fat amd grow muscle with limited work i thought everyone knew this,.....;)

I don't know, that's a strange concept; what about cleaning your teeth? Should I stop using fluoride toothpaste to strengthen my teeth naturally?

edit: on a second thought... it IS making the frogs gay... so.. maybe

Get the sensodyne with novamin, it works drastically better than fluoride alone

European here.

I feel that our priorities have been on social/climate issues. For a very long time the feeling was that we had enough prosperity and that more was nice but that it was not as important.

There was some serious talk about "de-growth" and the trend (for some groups) was mostly towards working less but maintaining the same standard. Among left political circles it seemed that the focus was on doing the most good, for the most people and this focus often lay outside of Europe. To put this in a historical context, many Europeans (especially Germans) feel that we have historical sins to atone for.

We trusted the US and were happy to see them succeed. To a lesser degree we trusted China and Russia and we figured that they would make (economical) rational choices to codependency was seen as a strength and not a weakness.

It's very clear that we were in some degrees naïve and lazy and wasted opportunities and choices. Europe occasionally needs a good crisis to get going again, I'm glad we're finally getting one.

You did the same dumb canada did, assuming usa would be happy forever taking care of the world while you focused on luxury beliefs. We are all paying now that usa finally figured out the arrangment was too costly given the impending doom of the ussr existing was gone. It makes me aad thinking about where we migjt be now if we had focused on actual progress rather than luxury beliefs. Chance is strongly non zero we would have developed the tech to solve our climate issues for example.
