Or, more simply - they give us enough space to express complex thoughts, and there's good moderation. The problem in the online culture is very, very simple: Twitter. The basic mechanics of the service create an incredibly awful cultur

Some of these - particularly the Zizek Navy Seals Copypasta - are absolutely incredible. Great work, Gwern.

I'm thinking - if I forbid this in my site's Terms of Service, will DoJ go after Google for CFAA violations like they did to Aaron?

I find it disgusting how politicized this particular drug became. I think people really decided that it was either useless or miraculous simply because of Trump's excitment about it. There was a period of time in March when this was an

"Poly" people, who maybe number in the tens of thousands, aren't really relevant to the primary discussion - the vast chasm between winners and losers in modern coupling culture - who many number in the tens of millions, and

Of course, I'm only speaking from my own experience, but I've seen what's being described here in real life. There are big winners and big losers. Talking to my Tindersex-addicted friend about his behavior - which has been ve

Bizarre as it seems, this has already been a topic of political discussion: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/05/02/opinion/incels-sex-robots... http://www.overcomingbias.com/2018/04&#x2F

I think your last point is absolutely the central paradox of global society. The goal seems pretty clear: brutual transnational neofeudal capitalism with a happy, politically correct face becomes the default universal position that defines

This is really, really cool. I've been dreaming of a system like this for years (with better persistent context and a voice interface) - a proper Star Trek computer!

Incels call this "hypergamy": https://incels.wiki/images/thumb/c/c8/C57f84720fff59cf295616... Although misogynistic incels are obviously abhorrent, I believe that they're probably right in

Hell yeah Cockatrice. Me and my friends have found that the most fun is to play using https://github.com/dr4fters/dr4ft (dr4ft.info, currently down, mirror here: https://beta-dr4ft.herokuapp.com/# ) - w

I'm actually kind of into this idea, even if it's purely as a Free and Open Source alternative to Venmo. But even then, you'll have to give me some good selling points to get my normie friends to use it, as they all already l

I find it very funny that all of my nerd friends are all suddenly using an archaic German note-taking system. I started a simple system myself after reading the thread about them here a few weeks ago, and I have to say that it's alread

You know, I think it was a deep memory of the switch off of 0.9.8 that gave me the initial thought without realizing. Maybe the older programs will be more prepared after all. Although I hope they weren't expecting a single-digit incre

I worry that this is going to break so many programs and scripts in the same way that the switch from Linux 2.6 did..

I pray to God that there's an Archive.org for biology somewhere, that scientists are trying to sequence the genome of every possible species that we can find, just so that we can give _something_ to the future before we wipe it all out

Ah good, a new way for the deletionists and power hungry busybodys to cudgel the people who actually make positive contributions.

Docker looks like it would be totally doable to me. On every page, all the options are in a standardly structured "Options:" section, all commands are in a standardly structured "Commands" section, and --help and the Opt

I don't think that really matters though. I'd wager that you can write 5 or 6 simple parsers and get 99% coverage of commands used.

Can't you just parse --help in the background so we as developers don't need to write anything at all?

Try looking at your comment in an Incognito window and sort by new. You'll still see your own comment if you're logged in, but you won't see it otherwise. I just tried this.

Flip side: I would destroy Twitter. Twitter is absolutely the worst thing to happen to the internet. Low effort, inherently self-aggrandizing and standoffish, literally impossible to express a complex or nuanced thought. The only people I k

This comment is pure neoliberal death cult ideology. Can't you even conceptualize other ways of being that don't involve a simple binary choice of imperial war or handing gobs of taxpayer cash to the companies which already profit

Been following this for years, congratulations on your release. I looked at dat for building P2P services, but found that ZeroNet was actually more capable for "real" services - maybe now is the time to reevaluate that, especially
