Is it objectively more fun? If you actually ask yourself if you're used to it, you could list the positives and negatives of both games and compare, maybe it could open your eyes (or confirm your suspicion)

on: Show HN: Get answers for shell commands from GPT3 from your terminal
Another good example is asking:
`ai ask "how to delete a file safely in linux"`
> Command is `shred -u /path/to/file`
A bit of a mix up between safely/securely

on: Cancer Progress: Much More Than You Wanted To Know (2018)
> Recent data suggest that individuals that come to the disease from this particular cause have a significant survival advantage,[20] as the disease responds better to radiation treatments than tobacco caused disease.
From Wiki + https://www.mdanderson.org/newsroom/2010/06/hpv-positive-tum...
It does seem indeed that there is more prevalence of laryngeal cancer due to HPV however according to that link above, it should not worsen survival rates but rather make them better, wouldn't it?

on: Dissecting the Bloodthirsty Bliss of Death Metal
You just need to venture in the realms of Black Metal to find negative songs in a serious way. Try any DSBM song, such as Psychonaut4, Lifelover and others.
Then all the nationalist black metal which preaches ... well very aggressive ideas sometimes. This is of course a fringe but it exists.

on: Am I logged in or not? GDPR case study on the example of Chrome browser change
You have a valid point but you are using misleading data: Don't compare a RCE + SBX vs a RCE w/o SBX.
Firefox RCE + SBX is 80k, edge is 100k, safari is also 80k.
Another thing to take in consideration is the number of people that the exploit could be used against. For example, following this: http://gs.statcounter.com/browser-market-share/desktop/world..., Chrome would have almost 68% of the browsing share whereas Firefox is only close to 10% and all the others even less. It'd be surprising this isn't taken account by Zerodium in their price calculations!

on: Trial shows Huntington's drug could slow progress of disease
It's not exactly cured: "Could slow progress". But of course there is a huge difference between having chances to die 10 years after onset of disease and 30 years! Especially since it appears to start in later life

Are you speaking of the person being treated for his Hunter Syndrome via Gene-editing treatment (I think it was done this week)? It doesn't use Crispr but another tool named ZFN . Pretty exciting that we're not only trying those out in vivo but also in fully grown patients with a specific disorder!

But this could be of importance for people stopping alcohol due to liver disease. But otherwise should not matter at all indeed!
