Where and how do you disable these mitigations?
There seems to be a common medical definition for the word Pica

From: https://kidshealth.org/en/parents/pica.html#:~:text=What%20I....

>What Is Pica? Pica is an eating disorder in which a person eats things not usually considered food. Young kids often put non-food items (like grass or toys) in their mouths because they're curious about the world around them. But kids with pica (PIE-kuh) go beyond that.

Wow, that’s uncanny.
For all the Malaysians on HN, how are y’all planning to handle this?
Great concept. Although I wonder how much someone being on the phone actually deters rapists/ muggers.

Genuine question: why should I care about my data being encrypted and private?

I hope you also contemplate how many innocent people (usually undocumented migrant workers) have been scapegoated in drug trials and executed…

Is hyperphantasia the same as maladaptive daydreaming or does the former enable the latter?
I’m lacking a lot of context here, why are Altman and his crew (not sure who they are either) creeps?

Re:Ask HN: How to Deal with Revenge Bedtime Procrastination? on Monday February 05, 2024 @09:16AM (#39261423)
Set up a routine. Mine consists of taking a shower immediately before going to bed, usually soon after eating dinner which happens after I exercise. Before I head into the shower, I put my devices away to charge and after I’m done, head straight to bed. Crucially I used to spend an hour ish after the shower procrastinating on my phone or whatever, but I’ve since replaced it with a routine. Now when I leave the shower my eyelids feel heavy

Tesla cars are live in a weird space where their tech under the hood is massively overengineered but the parts of the car you interact with are designed around an extremely minimalist borderline reductionist dogma with random capacitive touch button inconveniences sprinkled on top
Why’s Arizona so expensive lol
Am I the only one for whom this doesn’t work? If I try to unlock the car with the fob against my head, my car doesn’t seem to receive any signal. But if I try and unlock the car from the same distance, key fob not on head, it works like normal.
