  • I listen to mostly death metal and my wife is into musicals. Its really not an issue. I have gone with her to Book of Mormon (a musical), she has gone with me to metal shows… actually she used to get me back stage to several (she worked catering). Neither of us is going to choose to play the others music when we are by ourselves, but we can find a little common ground regardless.



  • Its been a while since I listened to this album.

    [Verse 1] Always locking the doors to your mind Escaping the reality that surrounds you Using faith as an excuse to kill A sick way of life is now revealed

    [Refrain] All the prayers in the world can’t help you now A killer, a taker of life is what you are

    [Bridge] Speak no more lies It’s your turn to die

    [Pre-Chorus] Preach the good word Speak no more, prepare to burn A justified torture? From this may others learn The life you took A holy death, a grave mistake No changing your mind Your life you should pay

    [Chorus] Practice what you preach Your loved one is now deceased Knowledge is at our hands Never to understand [Post-Chorus] Spiritual Healing

    [Guitar Solo]

    [Verse 2] Blinded by the twisted ways you live Kill for religion, will the lord forgive? Idiocy has stricken your mind A real life hell you will find

    [Refrain] All the prayers in the world can’t help you now A killer, a taker of life is what you are

    [Bridge] Speak no more lies It’s your turn to die

    [Pre-Chorus] Preach the good word Speak no more, prepare to burn A justified torture? From this may others learn The life you took A holy death, a grave mistake No changing your mind Your life you should pay [Chorus] Practice what you preach Your loved one is now deceased Knowledge is at our hands Never to understand









  • Looks really slick, there are some really nice looking features shown. I do have some concerns though.

    First, it requires playstore to be installed. I try to degoogle my device as much as possible so Im not sure this would even work with MicroG Services.

    Second it seems like a proprietary software built on Open Source platform. Right now they claim they dont do anything with our data, but that is one policy update from, ‘actually the data we have been collecting is now actually worth something sooo…’

    Lastly, as a proprietary software company they have this pesky link at the bottom of their page Pricing. Currently it doesnt link to anything, and honestly that has me more worried than if it just showed a page that said we are trying to figure out how to make money off our users, and we dont know how yet. I dont have an issue paying for software I use. There are a couple open source projects I pay monthly/yearly fees to. I just prefer it to be up front. If they said they were open sourcing the code and want a subscription fee, I would be on board. No plan is kinda sketchy.



  • Isn’t this a question of hubris? The title claims that “Rational People Do Worse”, but wouldn’t a rational person surmise that there is some information/mechanism they don’t have access to that the computer does in order to achieve the success rate claimed? In that case the rational choice would be to claim the single box.

    The other factor not addressed is the $1k vs $1m. The calculus changes a lot based on these amounts. If it was 10 bucks vs the chance to win millions? that’s the lottery. if it were $10k it be a lot harder to walk away from that.

    As a thought experiment, its a lot easier to say what you think the answer should be, actually making that choice when there is real money is psychologically different.
