What can I do daily to improve my on-the-spot cognitive abilities?

Hey all I just came across an emergency situation irl that I felt useless in because of how slowly I was thinking. Basically it was someone getting an epileptic seizure and I had the info in my head for what to do but I did end up freezing a bit before I did anything. Really didn’t like it. The person is fine now but if I had...

Situational awareness. Read the room and try to anticipate problems in advance, rather than living on autopilot.

Airplane mode is still useful for lots of other things. I’d be pretty upset if the feature was removed.

This is true only if you don’t have a constant stream of plastic coming in, which you do.

Can someone explain to me why NAT is not enough for security?

Networking noob here. I want to prevent all incoming requests except through a specific port, and that traffic is forwarded to a specific device on the network. NAT seems to do that just fine, it’s almost like a kind of firewall by itself. What kind of threats are there that requires more than just NAT for security?

Why don’t you have the battery percentage shown?

Why talk to people when you can talk to AI? Plus the AI has tons of brand recommendations your friends would never share with you.

Go back to reddit Greg.

Reddit has never turned a profit in nearly 20 years, but filed to go public anyway (www.cnn.com)

Reddit has never turned a profit in nearly 20 years, but filed to go public anyway::Reddit, the message board site known for its chronically online userbase and for originating much internet discourse, filed for its long-anticipated initial public offering on Thursday.

Who else is going to short?

The fear is that AI will be able to produce movies that are well above the ability of even the brightest filmmakers. At the rate of its current development that is an actual possibility, at least a lot of people think so.

In the meantime, check out m-disc. You can put 100gb on one disc and it can last in storage for decades at a minimum.

  1. If we are in a simulation, then there is a possibility that our creators are in a simulation as well. But no matter how far up the chain you go, eventually someone has to be real. So even if we are in a simulation, the information that represents us is still very real, in the sense that it is being stored within a real universe.
  2. The fact that we are sentient and capable of experiencing, rather than simply being an organic automaton, suggests that there is more to the universe than what physics can currently explain. We don’t really know what sentience is or if it even exists, but the answer might shed light on whether we are in a simulation.
  3. Imagine you made a giant Conway’s Game of Life and it ended up evolving into a society like ours. The people in the simulation have thoughts and emotions not unlike your own. You aren’t sure if they are sentient, but you can’t be sure about anyone else in the real world anyway. You might as well consider the stimulated people to be as real as you are.

The reason business service is so bad is because it actually hurts them to provide good service. Most of the time it’s someone complaining or asking the company for a refund, etc. It’s better for business to make the process as difficult as possible to discourage anyone from trying to lodge a complaint. It’s a type of dark pattern.

Survival of the fittest. Those companies will either change their ways or be overtaken by the others.

Are you referring specifically to the big, popular tech companies everyone knows about or to the whole industry? Because there are a lot of smaller companies who aren’t yet run by psychopaths, at least not any more than usual.

I had one too, at first I found I could block their malware using Pihole. Then they started putting the ads on the same domain as the content.

Yes, that is the only way to enforce this.

Lol, open source isn’t even the start of it. Paying thousands of dollars to wear 1kg goggles around your head all day so you can clumsily tap at virtual buttons while getting a headache isn’t an easy sell for the average person.

Is it immoral, unethical, or illegal to use movie prop money for collection plates, tip jars, beggars, and strip clubs?

If I’m paying for my goods and services with actual money, but using prop money for tips, is that bad? In my understanding, tips are given of one’s own free will and would be considered a gift to the recipient, the same as if I gave flowers or cookies as a tip. I’ve also seen fake money passed off by religious people that...

What would the inverse of what we have now in the atmosphere be like?

Just curious what an inverted reality of ours would be like, where instead of having too much carbon dioxide in the atmosphere creating glasshouse gas effect, what would the inverse be like where we don’t have enough carbon dioxide in our atmosphere? What would the climate of earth be like?

nodsocket ,

That would be the case for extra O2, not for less CO2.
