I usually go a hundred or so and then change up. Honestly Mr. Dang, I'll probably just bail. HN is 50% non-technical, it's easy to get drawn into that, nothing of real value is said by anyone (including me). Add that in…
That's a good point. Perhaps the temptation is to choose philosophies that have the appearance of power. Sticking pins in a voodoo doll of your boss, Mr. Scrooge for example. Some acquaintances of mine did that at their…
This man is a genius. We've hit Peak Modern Art. Honestly, you can't buy this kind of PR. Do a dozen more, number and sign them on the back, profit.

Zero moderation beyond criminal content is/was basically Usenet alt groups. Somehow the world survived all those years. Listen, I understand the need to cordon off the wrongthink people so that they can't communicate…
Heck, I view it all as 'misinformation', and I certainly don't need some cubicle drone at youtube to decide for me. Certainly the average person is smart enough to understand the statistics of the thing, after all…
>I think you'll find if you spend time on universities today, they are essentially apolitical. An interesting experiment would be to compare English Department reading lists in the 1970's vs. now. My bet is that you'd…
A total user base of 50 or so would be fine. The trick is to find a group where everyone (mostly) wants to interact. An extended family could probably work.
>Haven't universities been like this for ages? I can honestly say that when I went to college people were essentially apolitical. I don't remember anything you might view as a campus protest and the biggest fuss on the…
Generally, I'd say that anti-carrier strike group tactics involve simply (well, maybe not so simple) overwhelming the defenses. Quantity can work as well as quality. You might look into Russian missile work. Of course,…
I'll fly in if need be.
It'll be developed at Facebook. Every 'like' is Alive With Pleasure (h/t to Newport cigarettes).
What I'd like is something identical to Facebook (preferably hosted in a box on my desk) that I invite all my friends to, and they have the ability to invite people to. 2nd gen is probably far enough. Anyone cuts up…
Hey, at least they're not requiring a chip implant. Of course the phone OS people are going to do this. Judging from a few years of Live PD, every single person getting pulled over never ever has a valid ID, but always…
Huh. I always assumed it was going to be teledildonics. ..damn, a downvote. I mean, who can be against teledildonics? That'll be the main thrust of technology when our robot lords and masters take charge.
Perhaps as a hobbyist device, there's certainly a lot of interesting apps that could be written. I'm assuming here that it is somehow subsidized (via volume or via data mining) and is cheaper than alternatives.
The underlying question is 'what would it take to break the device free'.
It seems to me that in the case of the x86, the virtual memory system could detect overrunning the end of the stack and announce it to you. The meta-problem is what to do with the information.
One obvious area is in small embedded systems. It's surprising how hard it can be to track down a stack-caused bug when you've got a bunch of interrupts banging on it. Generally it's a little unnerving to just pray that…
The Facebook angle to this sounds absolutely heinous, but just what have they done to lock the headset to Facebook? Is there some kind of secret handshake/encryption going on? If someone from the Evil Empire was here,…
My point is more that a voucher system would tend to hollow out bad schools, taking out the more high-functioning kids. Perhaps they would hollow out the ranks of teachers as they'd prefer to work in a safer/less…
Is it possible to set up Facebook to only give you people you know or people you follow on your feed? I'd consider an account if that were true, with the appropriate personal filters on of course given the spying the…
An interesting angle to that is the continuous sorting that goes on. You end up with some schools with the worst of the worst, and heaven help anyone stuck in there. How do you construct those places? Do they have a…
