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…
That's an interesting theory, although I doubt that 19th century US farmers, among the most self-sufficient people in history, were lacking in religion, superstition, or conspiracies.
>"Hateful" Reddit or FB communities also don't allow "free speech". The moderators will ban people who go against the grain. Which is fine I think, but why have Reddit or FB do the censoring (aside from things that are…
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…
While I see that funding will tend to constrict the research around the desires of the funders, it's worth considering that 'science' has also expanded into areas that don't deserve the title. The softer disciplines are…

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…
You know, I don't doubt that Amazon is a bunch of bastards, but I can't say that any company I have worked for ever did much for employee tragic circumstances. They were just more polite about it.
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.
I might have thought so some years ago. In an era when 1/2 of the Western world hates Western civilization, I'm not sure that it matters anymore. Of course, in the long run, it's all just fodder for a history book. The…
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'.
...or much of anything else. I've seen commercial libraries monkey with processor state in some nasty ways.
