I find myself uninstalling every app unless I really need it and use it. It's amazing how many apps just sit around in your life over time. get them off your phone

All I think when I see this is "this intelligence wasted on finance and ads."

Can you imagine human potential if it was somehow applied to crop harvesting efficiency, new medicines, etc?

Not everything has to be perfectly efficient but it just saddens me to see all these great minds doing what, adversarially harvesting margin from the works of others?

Why are these trials organ specific? Lung cancer, pancreatic cancer, etc. Does it really matter?

ZBiotics is a really exciting biotech startup that makes a GMO probiotic that digests Acetaldehyde, a byproduct of alcohol consumption that is a large part of hangovers. Personally think they reduce the effect of drinking by about 40%.

The process is somewhat straightforward: - Search your full name, your username, your phone number, pieces of your last 3 addresses. - Check image search in particular For each result: - Google their remove me process and execute it, if they have one. - If not, find an email contact and ask nicely. Make up some excuse - If that doesn’t work, email a more formal GDPR right to be forgotten note if you are in EU. - If that doesn’t work, Google has a GDPR removal process if you are in EU.

Now wait 1-2 months and do it again. Now wait 1-2 months and do it again. ..

After about a year you should be able to reduce your surface area tremendously.

I like the guy, he seems like a genuine technologist / hacker. I wish him well.

None of the things he has worked on are any good so far. Objectively nobody actually uses this stuff. My definition: nobody would choose this stuff at arms length from a financial interest in pretending it is the correct technological + business choice.

This is interesting, but not great Japan advice. I just went and had a blast and did the opposite of his advice. I think people are different and want different things and don't feel bad if you just want to see the standard Japan checklist. His talk of everyone being surly..you know what, be respectful, everyone in Japan is so polite and nice that you will be happy with the level of service everywhere.

I've been many times and there is a time to venture out and there is a time to enjoy what everyone enjoys and both are fine.

The founders are done with each other and long gone. It's just a financial entity maximizing profit. It's amazing to watch the full circle of Google's brilliant birth to slow plateau.
