"Uber but for nailcare on Blockchain". I'm laughing but I'm not sure if I should be crying. Thanks for the laugh!

So confused when I read invincibility cloak.
raugustinus | 6 months ago | on: Ask HN: The government of my country blocked VPN access. What should I use?
There's https://refraction.network/ but I am not sure how feasible that is at the moment (or at all). I came across it when researching some TLS stuff in golang (programming language).

Maybe one should revise those thoughts. Apparently all of us will have issues with cow's milk. Some of us just have problems with even small amounts.
At least this is what our specilist at the hospital explained to us.
raugustinus | 2 years ago | on: Heat pumps, more than you wanted to know (2023)
Here in the Netherlands there's a huge incentive to move to heatpumps (subsidies and whatnot). I believe most of those (if not all) that are being installed have a defrosting mode which is automatically activated. I have seen mine defrosting in the last few days since it's finally below zero (celsius).

Someone who insults your tech stack.
Oh no sorry that's a technology insultant.
raugustinus | 6 years ago | on: Covid-19 is now officially a pandemic, WHO says
"If the role of the WHO is to stave off pandemics and not just to monitor them". Not really no.

While yes, they also completely lose track if the white lines on the road aren't available.
raugustinus | 6 years ago | on: Firefox 70 released for Firefox Quantum: Developer Edition
While I mostly agree, I do switch to Chrome every once in a while when the javascript stacktrace in FFdev is a bit unclear. Chrome usually seems to be a bit better. But I always switch right back to FF.

Hah, you made me think of this:
"what's really going to bake your noodle later on is would you still have broken it if I wouldn't have said anything".
raugustinus | 7 years ago | on: Longevity and anti-aging research: ‘Prime time for an impact on the globe’
We are not free to end our own life when you feel you had enough. There's laws for that. But yes, I'll reflect on my options whether or not I'll have that chemo when I'm in my sixties/seventies.
raugustinus | 7 years ago | on: Longevity and anti-aging research: ‘Prime time for an impact on the globe’
Reading the article beyond the second paragraph actually affirms kinda what you're saying. I guess I shot straight into a kneejerk reaction on the subtitle 'extending the human lifespan' :)
raugustinus | 7 years ago | on: Longevity and anti-aging research: ‘Prime time for an impact on the globe’
I am 100% for a (more) healthy life. I have no interest in 'extending my lifespan' except for the 'few' extra years that the healthy life might bring.
raugustinus | 7 years ago | on: Longevity and anti-aging research: ‘Prime time for an impact on the globe’
Hah good one. On the other hand, medical possibilities will be increasing way beyond what we'll be able to afford.
raugustinus | 7 years ago | on: Longevity and anti-aging research: ‘Prime time for an impact on the globe’
From the point of view of economics maybe. Switching professions can be done in a current lifespan and is not done very often. I don't see people changing just because their life is extended. I just don't understand people's fixation on having a longer life. Seems to me people just keep looking at the horizon to bring them what they want and they forget what's right in front of them.
raugustinus | 7 years ago | on: Longevity and anti-aging research: ‘Prime time for an impact on the globe’
What makes people think we want to have them around any longer? To extend life is to decrease it's value. Simple economics tells us it's inflation.

raugustinus | 8 years ago | on: Health dangers of sleep deprivation
Such a shame the subtitle of the article is all about quantity.
Quality of life far outweighs quantity, but this subtitle probably serves better as clikckbait.
raugustinus | 8 years ago | on: With teen mental health deteriorating over five years, there’s a likely culprit
The real solution would be for companies to start giving a shit to whom they hire and put some effort into finding them.

Did you miss that Intel's stopped developing the Xeon Phi's?
raugustinus | 8 years ago | on: Intel Has a Big Problem
