Let’s not clone trash. Tinder sucks because it has no matching mechanism to filter out incompatible people. To find one interesting profile on Tinder I have to swipe about 500 profiles. To get more matches, I risk some false positives and like ~2% of profiles. Then I need to filter the matches in person. Very inefficient, a waste of time.

The opposite of that was OkCupid before Match Group destroyed it.

Malnutrition might soften the brain.

Half their fault, making fraud plausibly deniable.

You might prefer confabulation, or bullshitting.

Not all places went eternal September:
Some sites/apps had filters to hide low effort people.
Some had strict rules that were enforced, so even if you were clueless coming in, you would upskill fast while using it.
Some had a good onboarding course making upskilling a breeze.

One day I had my phone charging on the same table I was measuring a liquid from two glass dropper bottles. The phone heard me shaking the bottles, clinking the glass pipettes, and dropping the liquid into water. I’ve never ever talked about dropper bottles as I didn’t know what they are called before this incident. I had bought the liquids with their bottles about a month before, and I’ve only ever referred to them by the brand name of the liquid.

My Quora feed 20 minutes later:
“What are the advantages of using dropper bottles in chemical processes?”

If you’re in a dry, hot environment and evaporate water in a swamp cooler, you lose about 2.3MJ/l (0.6kWh/l), from which you can skim maybe ~10% (0.06kWh/l) with a thermocouple. If you’re charging a Dacia Spring consuming 156Wh/km, you’d have to evaporate ~300 liters of water to drive 100km. (Edit: some errors.)

But then, what if you bought solar panels and a wind turbine instead of thermocouples and water?

That pattern is strong in the sick sad history of computer-aided collaboration. The real geniuses were sidelined and kept poor.

Side topic; why are there any squares? They’re not stiff because they skew, unlike triangles.

= rigid

A phone can notice when it’s in the hands of a security expert and start acting normal. Before dieselgate, Volkswagen cars had been emissions tested for years without finding anything suspicious. Turned out VW used the car’s sensors to detect when it was being tested.
