The English isn't that hard to remember though. Authentication == determine whether it is authentic (you are who you say you are). Authorization == are you authorized to do something (I know who you are but you are not authorized to

I've never considered the conversation and reasoning to be more than transient. If you want to carry forward a session, you must produce a context artifact. IMO this is like wanting to dump the intermediate state of an LLVM compilatio

It's basically WRPG vs JRPG. I think it's safe to say based on historical game performance/sales that most people prefer the "railroaded" story format of JRPG than WRPG role playing. For most people, video games ar

They are absolutely not the same. e.g. the Cornell method is for learning. > Do you mean the idea that hand movements of writing help retention? It's not just that, but also mentally engaging with the material. The former is, e.g.,

These discussions always conflate the different types of "notes". Broadly, there are two very different kind of notes. First, there are notes whose purpose is to be easy to find when you need to recall some bit of information. T

It's not possible for us to work together and fix it, since most of the problem is coming from China, like with most pollution in general. Unless you're proposing something like nuking China.

Mainstream media effectively lets you control the people. Being able to control how people vote is worth a lot of money.

Is it not a bad thing in the general case? People who produce net positive value for society subsidize the unsustainable reproduction of those who are a net drain. It is a very sterile perspective, but reality doesn't care about empa

Human boundaries are technical boundaries. If you're building for humans, then human limitations are part of the technical requirements. e.g., there's a reason that fancy buildings have maintenance hatches for humans
