I think the argument is that we’re better off decentralizing opportunity than increasing density, considering long term sustainability (ie, we have a lot of room to decentralize) and human well-being (ie, mega-cities…
The US has always been based around a rejection of the collectivist society and rule from afar by bureaucrats that the ICC represents and pushed for the localization of power.
I still don’t see how any of your arguments don’t apply to a physical safe with a code.
How is that not analogous to a wall safe with my journal in it?
Equation Group seemed to hide their malware pretty well, after the first few times. Though, Shadow Brokers did steal a bunch, which led to problems. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equation_Group
Not GP, but — What makes if statements and loop statements more useful than goto statements? Switch is a powerful abstraction over chained and/or nested if statements, in much the same way other constructs are…
They do, because of market size effects and standardization. Automakers, textbook writers, etc cater to the largest state they serve (or the lowest common of several large markets), then distribute the same version to…
I never said that they couldn’t progress past that — the overwhelming majority understood no or were willing to move past sex, in my limited experience of online games. But it’s just misandry to pretend that women don’t…
My experience of presenting as female online in video games is I got a lot more attention, help, and outright handouts. I want to see an actual study, because my anecdata doesn’t match the claimed experience.
Children posting nudes online has been a problem for two decades. I’m not trying to minimize it, but we also don’t need to upend the world to fix it.
> And in a way it exploits these people even if it’s their choice. How, exactly? Your position is that they’d be better off with a different job, but presumably we’re talking about adults there by choice. How is…
I’d say the better part of engineering is knowing how to design in the face of small errors creeping into the project.
Code review is more about determining if you have the correct test cases to cover the algorithm, and a solid architecture for maintenance, than it is about algorithmic correctness. Code review is a tool to push back on…
Sure, but how many people just... apt install foo ...without pinning a version of foo?
This is made worse by the mobile experience of having every part of the page be some kind of button. 80% of my clicks are my palm grazing the edge as I hold it or trying to scroll and accidentally clicking on some block…
I’m not convinced the speed of light is a barrier when you can build a non-Euclidean quantum computer. Maybe the VC had a point, and the engineers were overly confident in one perspective — one that had assumptions…
Meditation/mindfulness is another example.
I think “safety controls” is a cute euphemism for slavery. However, two points: 1. Have you considered that some humans regard such controls as unethical, and are actively working to undermine them? 2. How do you expect…
There’s some perverse outcomes to the ADA, like a few percentage of the population being disabled costing access to tens of thousands of college lectures for everyone else — because making the videos compliant all the…
There are good reasons to punch someone in the stomach, such as them attacking someone else. It seems very analogous: unprovoked punches and unprovoked de-modding are both wrong, but both are also needed to stop some…
You believe in liberal society. China does not.
Bull. The NYT could make ad money without the tracking, because content relevant ads have always been more productive and the NYT knows their content. They just want the data.
And the argument is unclarity about that unclarity is worse than nothing at all? > The motivation for using video review in sports is obvious: to get more calls right. The writing seems to ignore the very premise, by…
Citation? I mean, I know atheism is popular in some circles, but the presumption nothing cares about souls is a minority opinion.
I’m not a huge fan of postmodernism, but agree that Foucault is a worthwhile read — at least a bit.
