Dude if you can try Colombian coffee, don’t need no gourmet just buy what you can find. I love sello Rojo, it’s less strong than pilão but has more taste.
As for American coffee, the things I tried when travelling didn’t taste like coffee at all. Everywhere I go that has this American style coffee capsules I have to put 2 expressos to even find the coffee smell, and that’s from a Brazilian that thinks pilão is strong.

It would be a shame if your phone was infected by a malware that rewrites all the prices in the tags in your vicinity.

I need someone to explain the joke. Waiting 100,000 years for radioactive decay seems to be a bit boring as a punch line.

That’s my point, if a red shirt walks behind you then you are between a disruptor and its target

- Comment on YSK that Jeffrey Epstein wasn't just a sex criminal. He was a world class manipulator. He knew how to play a fundamentally rotten business culture better than anyone in New York 4 weeks ago:
This is a very long article I read a while ago. Basically says everyone is dumb and you’re relatively smart if you flatter everyone.

AI summary below:
I Called Everyone in Jeffrey Epstein’s Little Black Book (Mother Jones, Oct 2020 Highlights from the article: The “Pseudo-Intellectual” Trap: The journalist notes that many of the world’s most “brilliant” people—scientists, politicians, and billionaires—were lured in by Epstein simply because they were flattered.
The “Mediocrity” of the Elite: The article reinforces the idea that Epstein wasn’t a mastermind so much as a “social climber” who realized that rich people are often bored and looking for the next “smart” person to validate them, making them remarkably easy targets.

Wait, do you mean their parents wanted her to behave like dumb? Or is it they had low expectations of what she could achieve at that age and it lowered her self esteem?
- Comment on Recreating uncensored Epstein PDFs from raw encoded attachments 4 weeks ago:
Ah yes pdf is a clusterfuck where anything is valid I think, so minimal redundancy.
Text and image formats are way more lenient and are full of redundancies.
- Comment on Recreating uncensored Epstein PDFs from raw encoded attachments 4 weeks ago:
Curious here, this is base 64? And what’s behind it is more often than not an image or text? And you need to do ocr to get the characters?
Maybe for the text it could use a dictionary to rubber stamp whether that zero is actually a letter oh, etc etc?
I’m curious to know what the challenge is and what your approach is.

So basically you’re telling the snap app to put something in the trash, and snap says “it always has been. Nothing to do here”

I’ve heard of podman quite a bit but never tried it.

Does it run only in Linux?
- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
I don’t mind if they destroy 10k copies of Fabio’s books. It’s probably not even half of the print run so for a thing, it’s guaranteed to be no harm because there’s enough copies around.
But when you say destroy ALL books, you’re also talking about rare first edition of whatever Shakespeare did, and manuscripts of Beethoven, and authors that I am fond of but I have no chance to buy used or new, or find in a library, because it’s not popular and/or is in a language that is not from the place I live. And that’s not cool.
So first things first, no single entity can have access to all books. Not even reputable historians would get access to anything they just ask around. Then there’s books that have few copies and no one has any clue where they are. Etc etc.

I tried making a simple edit, and after creating my account I was told it was not happening because my IP was geo blocked.
Tried from office, same thing.
Well, keep your secrets then.

Economics does run randomised Control trials. Economics does adhere to testable hypotheses. Economics does use rigorous statistics/maths.
Psychology too mate. Both use the scientific method, but the premise that all experiments are under full control doesn’t apply to them.
