I don't see the relevance of app stores to the sale of artworks...? Auctions take a small cut because they are resellers of art. The artist doesn't get paid when a work sells at auction, the previous owner does. Art is usually s

I've had the pleasure of purchasing a work via Art in Res and seeing the platform develop, and I can't wait to watch it continue to grow. Both sides of this market place—artists with serious art practices but no commercial gallery

I think part of their idea is that the sometimes-alienating "fine art" distinction, and the expectations around pricing that go with it, is keeping available art from people who would get a lot of pleasure from living with it. I t

I think this is great. As you wrote, you have the luxury of comfort in the midst of all this and are offering what skills you have to those who might need them. My tiny non-profit is applying! Thanks for doing this, it's lovely.

Amazon sells basically everything. Paper towels and toilet paper are in short supply, non-perishable food items, cooking supplies, items for working at home, diapers, toys and other items for quarantined kids, extra vitamins and supplements

I wonder if there is modeling related to global warming that pertains to this kind of conversation. It's possible that a massive global economic slowdown could help solve the collective action problems there a bit, right? Maybe the spi

Why would a non-human intelligence necessarily have a drive to “shape their environment?” Maybe a non-human intelligence would discover the inevitable end of the habitable universe and opt to just do nothing?

So funny to return to this after reading through the fact-free chaos of the ‘socialist website” Assange disinformation and the attending praise of Wikileaks. Hopefully one day we can go through a collective process of settling on what’s tru

This gets close but misses the obvious reason for any recent spike: “ It’s easy to speculate about the reasons for this increase: a financial crisis that awakened Americans to the widening gaps between rich and poor; an opioid epidemic caus

As you can read above, I'm not arguing for the mandatory disclosure of data.

I'm not sure if I agree with the writer's statement here, and I'm not sure the right outcome is for Waymo to share data, but I don't think your analogy works. Your individual phone calls are made as part of your general

> I don't know what you're talking about. You said it is wrong to assume humans are different from animals, which makes this case a case of animals (humans) causing suffering in other animals (cows). I'm making a claim abo

by ForrestN 7y ago
That doesn't logically follow. My argument is about this case, not about hypothetical cases in which animals cause each other to suffer. If I were able to communicate with, say, a predator who likes torturing its live prey, I'd be

by ForrestN 7y ago
This summary is certainly not scientific evidence of the experience of suffering in these animals! As a start, who decided what level of stress is "within normal limits?" If the idea is that this somehow "scientifically"

This is a very hot take—the feed lots you describe are horrific! Not only are they in tiny, cramped pens, these pens are filled with mud and shit! The food they're eating is not nirvana, it's the barest possible nutrition to fatte

The other person is just a vehicle for existing shame/self loathing. If you want to stop feeling this way I suggest trying therapy and confronting the deeper sources of these feelings. I and many other people do not ever seethe about t

This is my fear too. Instagram’s addictive neuroengineering has crowded out attention to our website, so it’s a platform where we need to be in order to reach our constituency. But we are a tiny non-profit and can’t afford to pay to play.

I operate a larger instagram account (125k followers), and while I would rather die than apply the word "influencer" to it, I can confirm that it's very unlikely that this has to do with the content of the feeds. We have extr

It's obvious to anyone that their current business models are hostile to privacy. Do they have a plan to fundamentally change the way they make money? If so, what is it?

Have you seen any data to support this? I'm not convinced it's true, based on my own experience. It seems to me like what's changed is the range of possibilities for women, who can now more easily pursue educational and profe

Obviously all humans are different but this has never happened to me, not even once. I use it often and would be annoyed to go back. I would love to see real data about the Touch Bar, but sadly it’ll never get released. So we are all left t
