I see you’re still censoring to shape the narrative and silence wrongthink discussions. Have you considered you’re not in the right, when both Congress and the Whitehouse have investigated social media censorship?

Given your comment about the two words in Finnish, I think the comment about comic cons has it backwards: > “If someone says we are playing, it strips away everything we made, it strips away the reality,” said Ms. Aarniomaki. She’s objec

They don’t have to search for it, but they do have to provide any exonerating evidence they discover in the course of their investigation. That’s part of “discovery”, and cases have been thrown out because prosecutors concealed exculpatory

Again, I wish you would admit to ideological censorship: You’re simply using etiquette as a guise for people who don’t want to have an honest discussion about the relevant philosophy (or in this case, the actual logic involved in the infere

You get hired to be the subject matter expert on economic models, then you remind executives who consult with you that their plans don’t get better just by adding computers (or fancy math of any form). Eventually, even when you get fired be

The return from a REIT is negative when property values collapse due to social breakdown. I want long term growth on a multi decade scale, ergo, I have to take lower immediate returns to support the ecosystem which generates those returns.

I’ve made a career out of going “a bad business plan + computers is still a bad business plan”. It’s not just Google.

I completely agree that surprising users is always a problem, precisely for the reasons you state. I just hoped to give a better idea of how it came to be people who (in my biased experience) are thoughtful about user privacy, ended up brin

I agree — race and culture are very different things. That’s why it’s only meaningful to draw these conclusions once you control for cultural variation. No one has shown that they drew conclusions based on race: they drew conclusions based

The reason a human reviewer needs that information is to troubleshoot the response. 1. Customer makes a request that requires location — “Alexa, what’s the weather?” 2. Alexa gets the response wrong — “A turkey is a flightless bird.” 3. You

Sure, my point is why does that matter? The correlation with ice hockey could be a career relevant detail because of correlation with discipline and pain tolerance. If it tracks all such signals, I don’t see the problem. That it also has a

Nope, I’m suggesting the change in the trend of race relations is due to affirmative action and other instances of modern institutional racism: it was on a 120-140 year upswing, then started crashing. I also didn’t meant allocate them speci

Board seats are literally not a zero sum game: we can make more in any of several ways. It troubles me that you’re factually mistaken on basic things like that — new board seats come into existence literally daily, to which every indication

How about we just don’t pass sexist laws because we’ve somehow told ourselves that this particular instance of institutional sexism is okay? We’re already having enough trouble getting people to accept Title IX protects male students , aft

The point is that you might have multiple aspects of valid time: SELECT person AS OF t1 FROM upstream AS OF t2 Which reconstructs the view that our upstream source would have constructed for a particular time (t1) from its perspect

Yes, but that’s not being realistic. 1% of 1 million people is 10,000 people, who will be roughly half kids and young adults — the heirs. So you’re talking 0.00008% of the wealth being passed down, roughly. That’s still pretty unequal in a

In even the classic theory, when the Swartzchild radius of the gravitational wavelet exceeds its width, wouldn’t it naturally form a black hole and end up a cusp? Like a gravity Kugelblitz.

Isn’t the structural signal of autism often an underconnection in the brain? https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21378114 I agree that it’s more likely ADHD would respond, but it doesn’t necessarily mean you can’t use

People aren’t entitled to commit cyber crimes, just because it’s a convenient way to pay the bills. So far as I can tell, this was Facebook exceeding authorized access to a computer system — at scale. If you or I did this, we’d be looking a

Can you point to a solution besides giving them shelter and just sort of tolerating it? I mean, there’s different mechanisms for shelter — family, public housing, NGOs, etc, and we can talk about how to tweak those knobs as a culture — but

That doesn’t require infinite length, just indeterminate length and more than a single round (on average, or with certain rate). And I’m not sure that it doesn’t apply to the case where: A) You can’t determine when the game will end, and B)

Do you actually need more than the previous round or two of actions to utilize the be-kind-until-crossed strategy? I’m not sure it requires perfect information, just accurate recent information.

Isn’t penalizing players who breach etiquette what separates games from fights? I’ve literally never understood that idea, because it’s antithetical to what separates games from genuine conflict: adherence to social norms during contests. L

Okay — and just to be clear, there’s nothing problematic to me about simplifying assumptions or effective theories. Both are important tools for making predictions tractable. But when we lose sight of what are conclusions, what are strongly

That’s not what I was asking. I was asking about the particular usage of the average null energy condition as justification to rule out wormholes: why isn’t that just begging the question by assuming your conclusion? and how does that parti

There’s never been anything like the mass psyops of the past 100 years, and it’s not clear that such toxic memetic behavior can coexist with society. We’ve only seen three generations of impact, but it seems the deleterious effects are outp

You don’t really explain how the assumption leads to the conclusion — and I’m left with the impression you used many words to say “they just assumed you can’t”. Could you elaborate? Edit: Looking into energy conditions further, they are lit
