Social anxiety disorder.
Thinking about the TV you watch but not writing an essay about it = interaction or no interaction? Where is the boundary; how can you define it?
Umm... yes, historically disenfranchisement was driven by racism and sexism. This is driven by ageism. Obviously racism was historically much more abusive. But both are still discrimination.
To clarify, there are two logical consequences of that parent comment. Suppose a 65yo person watches too much tv and still votes. 1. In order to be allowed to vote, they need to watch less tv. 2. They don't get to vote…
Just want to ask; how is it a disingenuous rewrite. What is the charitable interpretation of "old people have mental problems, but they still vote, and that's a problem"? That's literally what the parent comment says.…
That being said, I think there is a general bias in American culture towards "making something of yourself", which results in the act of participating in non-productive activities (ex: "mindless tv" such as gameshows,…
I disagree that consuming media and participating online is not "interacting with the world". I spend a lot of my free time reading Wikipedia, watching YouTube, and playing games. This content comes from "the world". At…
Oh haha N=2 here, so you are probably right. Survivorship bias on my part. I posted these stats in another thread: According to https://lichess.org/analysis#1, for blitz and rapid games played on lichess with 1.e4,…
Just want to point out the obvious: if you are staying at 1300 for over 1y, you are not improving and likely not understanding why you are losing. I would recommend you study rather than banging your head against the…
I wish against 1.e4 it wouldn't always play 1...c5. Right now, it's less of a test of "what is your chess rating" and more of "how much sicilian theory do you know". Its prediction was about 300 points low compared to…
Just to be clear, 122 random bits are just fine as a security measure depending on what you want to do. For example, if I have 1 URL and I'm trying to prevent someone from guessing it. How you choose to encode the bits…
> I find that 160 bits is a sweet spot of excellent security Please, for the love of God, leave cryptography to the cryptographers.
Apart from the fact that they have no incentive to, there are technical downsides, even assuming you could get a useful homomorphic scheme to work in practice. For example, encrypted data can't be compressed. Columnar…
A lot of "tech" companies are really just marketing companies. No innovation is being done, just optimizing some funnel. Working on useful software is good, glad you're doing that now.
