ive never taken hn threads into flamewar before. what are you even talking about?
Yeah your motives are so pure. You're a real WK Kellogg. A real Lewis Terman.
The entire point of prison is to remove them from society. Why are we spending more resources on prisoners than people who've never commited a crime?
There is no separation between corporations from government.
You're effectively describing trickle-down economics. "Help out rich people so they pay more taxes which will trickle down to poor people" That's not a real thing. The economy is trickle-up. Income inequality is…
I love how inmates get a better education and more support from tech companies than the adults who live in the bay area. The bay area has the worst income inequality of anywhere in any developed country. Bootcamps are a…
Today I learned there was a giant balloon cow god that existed 44000 years ago.
If you didnt like the ISP market in the USA wouldnt you want to be able to open a portal to an alternate ISP markets?
The brutality of the dark ages has been debunked. The timeline I just gave you about illiteracy, the printing press, the enlightenment, and our 400 year old education system remains in tact. Neil postman's a good source…
That's sortof what the enlightenment was about... The enlightenment period was a decentralization of information caused by the reinvention and widespread use of the printing press in europe. During the dark ages…
Off topic but that still sounds like it's framed within the enlightenment period. If you're reading books and valuing literacy, (ie individual interpretations of texts, as opposed to being told what a book means) then…
I like how a liberal arts education is "divergent from the norm" now. The primary function of university is to make people read for four years. Business degrees, CS degrees, essentially job training programs are a…
Yeah no i see what you're goin for. Maybe comparing public roads to air travel would be a better analogy? Idk im just being a nudge.
not really a faster road as anyone stuck in an expresslane behind a prius will tell you, but a less congested road free of peasants. Not really sure how this analogy syncs up but just throwing in my $0.02.
If you want net neutrality you should be excited by companies building private networks because it means there's a competitive market that no one ISP or government can control.
>No-one (at least I don't think anyone) is suggesting that knowledge, experience and skills belong to your employer. That's the whole argument. There's literally no other argument. There is no separation between…
"I make some furniture from home" is a completely different analogy from the one i just made. Either you didn't get it or that's willful contextomy. Every company started by someone uses experience they've generated at…
Are side projects really that big of a deal? This is tech. Everybody has side projects. Can you imagine if a herman miller furniture designer was sued for making chairs on the side?
How many algorithms are there in chrome alone? I remember when people realized that they could game Facebook shares for higher rankings on chrome and for a while buzzfeed top ten lists outranked Wikipedia every fucking…
it's literally the same engine as chrome. the only reason i use chrome is for the dev tools.
That's pretty absurd considering the average american has a screen in front of their face 8-10 hours a day. You're basically saying what people do for 8-10 hours a day, every day, for their entire lives isnt useful…
teeny tiny use case for general AI, yes.
targeting ads is only one teeny tiny use case for user data. Building general AI is a race and the more user data you have the faster your AI will learn. You definitely want to limit the amount of data your competitors…
I've done a lot of reading on this, from neil postman, to nicholas carr, sherry turkle, jaron lanier, tim wu, to plato's allegory of the cave. We've been worried about these issues for eternity. As a consumer of…
That is an amazing amount of love and care for brazilians to go out onto the beaches and "pick up" oil. I can't even fathom americans doing that.
