Meaningful change requires sacrifice....

What Trump is trying to fix is a good thing. He understands that making sacrifices, sometimes significant sacrifices, to accomplish good things is the most effective path. But we as a culture are too selfish to tolerate it.

Look at Jobs. He was a perfect example of sacrifice and hacking things off aggressively in order to push forward. And he was ridiculed for it, because we as a society hate change and loss.

Just sit tight. Trump is an effective businessman whether you like him or not. He may sometimes fail, but chances are he won’t. And if he doesn’t, then we’ll be in a better position as a country. Despite what the media and left likes to deceive the nation about Trump, he’s accomplished some extremely good things that other presidents have been too weak to do.

This is incontrovertible evidence that tech companies do not need to make back doors for government access. It will always be possible to crack technology, always. It should be a healthy a cat and mouse game. All the FBI and government officials have been saying is, ‘We’re either too lazy or too incompetent to crack these devices, so let’s make the tech companies make it easy for us.’ Companies like Cellebrite shouldn’t be a rarity but rather an essential component of any government security program.

Interesting and great idea if done seamlessly. Most people don’t realise only a relatively small part of their field of view is sharp. The brain is extremely good at fooling us into thinking we’re seeing things we’re not. There’s even a small gap in our vision due to the optic nerve and the brain cleverly makes up something to put there so that we don’t notice. Or thinking we can see a full range of colour in our periphery which again is just our brain fooling us.

Good, mouse support doesn’t belong on touch devices (except in exceptional circumstances). If you want to use a mouse then use macOS.

Just because an addiction may have a physiological element doesn’t make it a disease. Addictions like video games are little more than a choice. A choice is not a disease. The choice may have a physical element, but resisting urges (which always has a physical element) is called self control. By saying these things are diseases we reduce the significance of choice, that ‘it’s not my fault’. The victim mindset is ruining cultures that adhere to it. It seems to me not exercising self control in the face of temptation should be considered a disease.
