  • Especially since discoverability has pretty much gone down the toilet, between SEO and spam sites.

    You're not going to as easily find a new and interesting website, when the first few results are just computer generated regurgitated text, stuffed with ads by the gill.

  • They also don't have good, compelling reasons to stay with the current system. They're not getting much out of it, and the "oh, but the computer you're making this on was created under capitalism" isn't that compelling of an argument, especially when the alternative is choosing between eating, and buying the medication that stops your blood turning into acid.

    The whole "system of true opportunity, where the best and brightest can shine" rings hollow when you're working multiple jobs to survive, no matter how smart you are, and it feels like you're extorted at every opportunity.

  • come on

  • In fairness, it does seem like the kind of extreme that would come up in a video game. You'd at least expect some subtlety in real life, rather than outright drapes with the guy's face on, and a positive word slapped on.

    Like putting his business logo up.

  • The article has this to say about it:

    Google says that only apps with verified identities will be installable on certified Android devices, which is virtually every Android-based device—if it has Google services on it, it's a certified device. If you have a non-Google build of Android on your phone, none of this applies. However, that's a vanishingly small fraction of the Android ecosystem outside of China.

    Which does suggest that it applies to everyone, as opposed to being something that only applies to Play Protect.

  • Assuming this effect existed, wouldn’t the memory of the water be polluted with all kind of things (as water is recycled all the time)?

    Yes.

    If longer exposure makes the memory stronger, you should be getting a lethal dose of salt quite easily

    No, it would be the reverse. The water would magnetise to the salt, and draw it out of you, making you very dead.

  • The supposed science behind homeopathy was already known, though. It was never a mystery.

    It basically worked around the pseudoscientific principle that water remembered what used to be in it, so if you diluted out water concentrated with the thing you had, it would somehow "remember" what was in it, and when taken, would draw it from the body through some principle of magnetism.

    It's not like it magically somehow worked, and everyone was in amazement or anything quite like that. The only real reasons it did anything at all was that its contemporary treatments were things like bloodletting, which were worse for most things than not doing anything at all, or as a result of placebo.

  • I don't think it will. It hasn't so far, despite there having been linux phones in the past, and it's got the Windows Phone/Symbian problem where users don't go to it because it lacks support for the apps they use, and developers don't support it because it doesn't have much by way of users.
