For someone who is famously not a people person, Linus Torvalds is surprisingly nice and chill.

(BTW, he lost a lot of weight. Does his treadmill actually works?!

It is the first time in human history for christmas to fall on Dec 25, AD 2025. It will never happen again.

And the poor npc

I googled her name. She seems to believe that the medicine proscribed killed her husband, and they should be using horse dewormer instead.

last time I checked, life savers are not food.

Moxie Marlinspike mentioned why they decided to build a centrualized service: basically, for rapid update to security protocols and less technical burden for backward compatibility.

Indeed there is decentralized E2EE messenger: https://getsession.org/ and it is quite popular (not close to the popularity of signal, though).

Thank you, for the detailed answer, and I am sorry for the abuse by your parent.

(again, sorry for the personal question, feel free to disregard) Do you know how dod they immigrated to the U.S.? As a immigrant myself, I thought you can only go to the U.S. if you have work/study here, or being a refugee.

Just to say that MA has a pretty IMO idiotic flat state income tax rate of 5%, and having a income over 1m only increase the rate by 4%.

This increase is really negligible compare to the tax rate by the federal government and the cost of living difference between MA and other states.

If anything, I feel MA still don’t really have a “fair” income tax system yet, but one step at a time.

Sorry if this is personal, feel free to not answer. What made your family move to the U.S. and what did they need to prep financially to support the move?

Am I too dumb or is this some LLM gibberish that has nothing to do with probablistic programming…

My main concern is the kid might feel entitled to what they are provided from their parents. That is not necessarily a problem in of itself, but I would be worried if my kids are not aware of how hard it would be to get a house or a car from nothing, because they never need to work for it. And I would be very upset if they cannot empathize with people who are not provided these things by their parents, hence doesn’t support public projects that benefit the less fortunate.

I growup with my mom preping me for “moving out at 18”, in the end, they did support me during college and give me some down payment for my apartment.

I still feel quite bad asking my family for money till this day, because I was taught that way. If it isn’t my wife pushing to get an apartment, I probably will rent until I can pay for my own place. I am honestly quite grateful for them paying for my college because it is not a small expense; and I understand most people don’t have these luxuries.

I feel their teaching let me save when I can, built up a lot of tolerance towards my environments and people around me, and develop a lot more empathy. I don’t know if there is a causal link, but I find people around me who talk a lot about “everyone should bootstrap themselves” often comes from richer families and they get much more than what I got from my parents. Quite honestly, I am very grateful I do not think like them, and I prefer my kid to not think like that as well.

To be completely clear, I am not claiming I am unlucky or have bad parents. My parent, despite forcing me to be independent, are still a great safety net for me. I try my hardest to live on my own and I happens to not need anything else from them (besides enormous college tuitions and down payment 🤣), but I am sure they will provide me whatever I need if I truly needed it.

Vegans/Vegetarians are not a small base in many parts of the world, but most vegan I know also don’t consume like of impossible meats very much (once or twice per week at most?).

Given how hard stromgate flopped, I don’t know if the golden age is returning…

Sorry but what does “highest use of our military” even mean?! Are they pretending to be stupid to gain attention, or are they really not able to speak their own language.
