It would be more correct to say that demand for art is non-zero at every point in time when a person exists. This only becomes infinite if humanity exists for an infinite amount of time.

Maybe it's not exercise you hate, but the gym. I tried the gym once and dropped it because I hated it. A few years later I found running and loved it; then I found cycling and loved it even more. Exercise is tiring enough as it is (tha

Even if we built a Dyson sphere, we would not be creating wealth, we would just be making available to ourselves more of the wealth that's already out there.

I didn't think "the universe has a finite capacity" to be such a controversial idea. Look, if you use land for farming then you can't use it for something else, right? And the Earth has a finite surface, right? So once a

The only other forms of wealth are matter, which is even more limited than energy, and information, which is theoretically infinite but practically requires matter and/or energy to be stored and/or processed. Can you give an examp

I'm not sure what it is you're saying.

As far as we can tell, it's not.

Paul Graham is wrong. There's a finite amount of wealth. His idea of "creating wealth" is simply expending energy in order to transform some thing into a more valuable configuration; both fixing a car and writing a computer p

What they should have done is write "packing for distribution or distribution of". They forgot they were writing a law, not a book, and that clarity is more important than aesthetics. As it is, the sentence contains one more ambig

No, the correction is valid. The main component of lift is an upwards reactive force produced by pushing a mass of fluid downwards, in accordance with Newton's third law.

Fair enough. I don't think it's such a big deal, though. Probably no one cares how it looks as much as you think they do.

As a user, I dislike progressive images because of the ambiguity regarding when they've finished loading.

I happen to think that requiring a producer to put specific features into a work is a bad thing, actually.

You're seeing an example right here, unless you think that university lectures are a bad thing.

> The reason the FCC needs to regulate public airspace is because transmissions interfere with each other. It's the exact same situation with net neutrality. If an ISP decides to give traffic from some hosts higher priority than my

By that same logic, there should be no laws governing radio broadcasting, since the equipment that emits the photons is located in a private building, not in the public airspace through which the photons travel. Yet the FCC still exists.

by E6300 10y ago
It can be argued that the ISP's equipment is useless unless it runs data lines through state-owned land, therefore no, it doesn't get to do absolutely anything it wants with it.

You're undermining your own argument, that Latvian is especially difficult to translate abstract texts into.

It's easier than that. Someone could create a benign patch and a malicious patch that collides the hash. But what could they do with that? For example, let's say it goes (letter##number represents the hashes): State 1: Real repo:

Give me a break. The kernel developers know C. They know what "undefined behavior" means.

What are you talking about? Dereferencing invalid memory is a security bug.
120.
by E6300 10y ago
In order to do that, the standard would have to define that dereferencing a null pointer must produce a deterministic behavior. There are only two possible behaviors: 1. The program successfully reads/writes that memory location and re
