Can you explain what autophagy is and specifically why "cleansing and restoring" are incorrect layman terms to use? I'm curious.

So this might seem weird, but there are many people who do not at all feel that way. I can't even begin to imagine what feels condescending about someone using "so" as a filler word.

For people with a bit of social anxiety, it can serve as an easy and comfortable lead-in to share a thought when they can't think of a better way.

That's certainly true (and I hadn't noticed the website is communist, that's funny). I think we can agree that both capitalist and communist countries have blood on their hands here. Also worth pointing out that Foxconn is in a Free-trade Zone which tend to play by their own (lack of) rules.

Although discussing this distinction is off-topic (I didn't downvote you), I'd like to point out that the demand for places like Foxconn comes from capitalist businesses in capitalist countries (one in particular).

I just want to mention here for those who haven't heard of it: Huxley's "Island" explores the complement to the ideas presented in "Brave New World", i.e. it is an imagining of utopia. I highly recommend it.

You can actually get the desktop client connected to your Chromecast in a roundabout way. What I do is connect to my Chromecast from the Spotify app on my iPhone, and then the option will appear in the desktop client to connect. I have no idea why you have to channel through the phone first, but it works perfectly from desktop to Chromecast once it's connected.

I believe what AnimalMuppet is trying to say is that it raises concern when you think about the motivation behind removing limits for the current incumbent, vs a situation where there were never limits in the first place.

Even if you think it's not cause for concern, you have to admit it's at least a different situation with different parameters.

I'm really glad that you and the parent posted these comments. As someone with pretty bad anxiety, this kind of thing prevents me from even going for interviews. And, unfortunately, after browsing this thread it seems that this possibility isn't even on most peoples' minds.

FizzBuzz-style filters not only don't prove that someone can code, they don't disprove it either. I'm not sure what the answer is.

Snapchat takes beautiful photos on iOS. Some people I know even prefer to use it to the native camera. I wonder why this is different for Android? Does anyone have an insight here?
