A good thought experiment for this is to replace guards at jewellery stores or banks with a robot. Which one would you feel more safe? Do you trust that the robot won't randomly shoot you if you act funny on the street?
I am not sure if we should want to understand how our brain works. This is why I don't like libertarian free will people. We need to accept that we don't have free will. Otherwise we will study the brain thinking that…
> What about people with disabilities, physical or mental, who can't get out, old people with no family or family who doesn't care? In theory it would be great if everyone got some attention and socialized, in reality a…
Unironically just "man up". I get that there are some people that have actual sickness that prevents them from socializing but your little anxiety does not count. Believe me, I know I have the same problem. I quite…
What the fuck is the rationale to make this? I can kinda see the rationale behind Facebook and social media, they _could_ be useful. But this? This is like making a nuclear bomb out in public. The world is going to get…
> I think this tech is far more important for lonely people who for any reason don't get to socialize much (if at all), this is especially common in older people. Uhm, those lonely people need to get out and start…
I really, do not want to have a big server rack lying around at my house. I have a couple of SSDs that are not being used and 3 USB HDD drives. I also have a PN50 that I am not using as well. I am thinking of buying a…
Age is just one metric. I don't want zero proof tech about information X. I don't want to have an identity. Full stop.
Right now, our identity is kinda tied to a string of letter (password). This password can technically be passed around, created and destroyed at will. Tomorrow, our identity is going to be tied to you as a person. So…
What _should_ happen is that we create abstraction. We create a proof for a concept or algorithms. Then we can move on. We need to develop artifacts that can carry proof. We cannot keep writing piles and piles of texts…
Hot take but we should let reality deal the blow. There's so many things that people think is redundant and unnecessary but actually have an army of people and machination that are working tirelessly to curb it. Only to…
I am baffled why Canada don't have massive data centres yet? It is cold with abundant water and energy. Why not?
Creating a business something that sounds soooo far fetched. It is such a tail event for me that I never even considered. How do you even begin? You just start calling people if they want your product?
Humans are simply NOT designed to _be_ happy, we are designed to _search_ for happiness. Any genes that makes us totally content have been wiped out by millions of years of evolution. We will never simply "be happy".…
99% of people don't care about 99% of things 1% of people really care about 1% of things So we get people complaining about things but there is no market for it. I can guarantee you the average people does not care if a…
The problem with coming up with a rule that works for everyone is that everyone have a different idea of what makes a good abstraction. Do you want to iterate using for loop or using .iter().step(2).map()? I would…

If we go this route, they are just going to embed the ads into the video itself. Clearly the solution is to create an alternative to Youtube. This war is not going to bode well to either side.

This is like asking whats its like to turn fire into water. If you become a bat, you are a bat, you cannot get out of that space and think "oh so that is what it is like to be a bat". Now if you are able to freely…

Does your wife's consultancy business have a growing number of clients to handle? It might also be an issue of distribution.
Tell me something that involves other people that isn't a social media then.
I am not against taking selfies in the literal sense. Go ahead and take a snap of you and your surrounding. It becomes sad and depressing when someone needs to do multiple takes and even worse, touch up the image.
The prime example for me of this phenomena is selfies. What is the point of taking pictures, really? To capture the moment? Or to post to social media? If I am going to be honest, most pictures today are taken so that…
