This is a bad summary which ignores the important aspects of the discussion:

- When you do a research, you have to get consent from your subjects.

- When you do a research, you have to compensate your subjects for their time.

Neither of those points were respected.

And yes, you can obtain consent without divulgating the exact process that will be used. All psychology researchers know how to do that effectively and ethically.

I bought a Macbook Air M1 a few months ago. It does not take specialized work to notice the difference between this laptop and every other intel based laptop.

The Tinkpad X1 Carbon which I bought multiple time over the years would run hot, make noise and the battery would deplete fast when watching youtube videos. Before M1 this was just normal laptop behavior and the X1 is a great laptop. With the M1 though, it's now been 2 hours of watching youtube and you're at 95% in a perfect silence and the laptop is cool to the touch.

Also I don't find a Macbook Air to be "cool". To me it feels mainstream just because it's an obvious choice.

No. Just no. Addiction is a serious matter which is well studied by actual scientists and mental health professionals. You can't just give advices about addiction unless you have been properly trained. Your affirmations on such subjects have to be backed by scientific evidence and having a big audience does not qualify for scientific evidence. Please, if you are interested about addiction or think you have a problematic relationship with a substance or a behavior, go and see the work of Dr. Andrew Tatarsky at https://www.centerforoptimalliving.com/ for instance. Or ask a mental health professional which have an actual Ph.D. in psychology or medicine. You could also read actual scientific evidence if you know how to, just not that. This is just wrong.

Agree. It’s like a bad translation of “as of today”. It is kind of ugly though and to me it sounds awful, especially when you consider that you can replace it by the much more simple and elegant “à ce jour”.

I think that's plainly wrong.

1. There is no need for a bill to modify ICE misconducts 2. The bill was for financing ICE and help it amplify it's bad behaviors 3. When the democrats would not pay for inhumane ICE, the reps told everyone the dems were against every changement.

...Or maybe refusing to work with an inhumane administration is the ethical thing to do because it raises awareness of the public which is the only way to modify an administration's bad behavior ?

Enforcement is supposed to serve the public and the public has the right to tell the enforcement when the job is badly done. It is very different than to be against enforcement.

Lastly, I hope that sone shareholders may want to associate themselves with humanistics valors because they are human being too.

I use a plain text file with columns separated by tabulations. First column is my earning, and my expenses that are predictable (like phone, loan...). second column is my expenses on a daily basis. A simple awk command and I can compute a projection of the money that will be left on my account at the end of the month. Each month I use a new file. The beauty is that I can print the result of my command and put it in my status bar, next to the temp of my proc. It's a metric value like another after all.
