So why don’t we just put fluoride in the excessively sugary stuff. Coca Cola, more fluoride, same classic taste!

If they are actually just using eye dilation for funny faces, I would be shocked. It's one of those things that's pretty telling physically. Whichever congressman asked that question was NOT dumb.

I very much like this article. I especially like the comparison to TempleOS. I think Terry Davis blew computing wide open. That is what a personal computer can do, when it’s treated as an instrument instead of an appliance, and the user tre

Latin. I am going to learn Latin. I am also going to learn game dev, and I’m going to get very good at rucking, running, and pull ups. And in a year, I’m going to come back, edit this post and say dadgummit I did what I said I would.

Does your bugfix problem actually test said code? Or does it just look for a specific change to be made, because I'm reasonably certain I input multiple correct solutions and they were all marked as having not solved the problem.

Haven't subscribed to Netflix for a few years now (issues with their content). What is this about paying for screens? Don't you just have access to their service once you pay for it?

Lol I thought about it. Thanks for the reply.

Well I got the admin menu to show up. Still lost the chess game though (my chess skills need work).

Well, I got the admin panel to show a completely blank page, instead of an Invalid Login message, so that's progress.

Folks have been importing top soil for a long time too. That doesn't mean that you get to be okay with soil erosion. Or for a better example, folks have been digging wells and building canals for agriculture for as long as civilization

This is not and will never be an effective, sustainable solution. It is akin to assuming that you can import soil after you have depleted your own. Human ecology matters as much as soil ecology does.

>distrustful of central government This hasn’t really been true for a while. Much of the quasi-libertarian stuff comes out of the conservative intellectual crowd, think tanks, lobbying groups etc. Some of it was also a holdover from the

There's a difference between a complaint and a reality. British working class citizens likely wouldn't wish to pick fruits, at the wages that British farmers wish to pay them. Actually, that's sort of the point. British worki

It's because they see a better quality of life in western countries. Climate change has nothing to do with it.

Wage dilution is an issue. It's the working and middle classes that are most harmed by immigration. Those who are in the position to not have their wages threatened by mass immigration policies are free to reap the rewards of cheap lab

I almost think the solution would be to have people live in apartments in the cities during the week and have them go out to a larger place in the countryside on the weekends. Maybe have a 4 day workweek and have that be the rhythm of life.

Any society without conscription is a society of human livestock, because they are defended by men not their compatriots, but their shepherds.

It's the opposite. Phalanxes are the kind of thing where a break in coordination by any one man results you all getting rekt. The conflict between the Greeks and the Persians is a pretty good example of what happens when you have speci

It's an incredibly strange thing, from a historical perspective to have any distinction between the term citizen and the term soldier. It was, for every definition of the term citizen until 1973 (or perhaps until 1920), an obligation o

Updates should be required only when specific apis or features are deprecated and the app in question uses those. But there probably isn't an easy way to test whether an app uses them. Aside from literally going through the binary, loo

Perhaps. But all the core protocols of the web were done using government money and standardized as a public good. I don't see why social media protocols should not have some base level standard of interoperability, given their importa

by Gollapalli 4y ago
No, it think it's got to be something more than that. I have no idea how you'd do this from a legal perspective. But a base level of "core-functionality must interop". Social media federated by fiat.

That is actually, genuinely an amazing idea. I'd steal it, but I doubt I'd have time to seriously work on it. So... either make it and sell it to me, or have someone else do it.

Doctorow is correct here: interoperability is necessary, from a social perspective. Governments should mandate it.

Perhaps. But I still think that computation is fundamentally different from everything that’s come before. I’m allowed to be idealistic about some things. Aren’t we all?
