More people would sell and buy online which will reduce the number of problematic irl interactions.

Modern marketplaces don't even use js (and some don't work if you have js enabled) and I expect a higher chance of malware on random clearnet sites..

I can't help but think that the series of extremely big operations by a fair amount of countries, interpol and resources can't be worth catching 230kg of drugs (which includes a lot of weed) spread over 150 sesperate vendors. The

I don't think I'd consider "it's harder to fake" a negative for the project if I was involved.

The orbs are centralized either way. And I personally am less worried about someone having a hash of my eyeball data than my passport and everything else.

How will that help you? You need the orb, too and those operating the orb can presumably tell the difference between a real person and a jpg of an eyeball.

Presumably the orbs produce a verifiable type of hash. E.g. whatever output it has is also encrypted with their private key + some salt and you can always check if what a user provides has that.

Why not? Presumably you can compress the data a lot given that it's non-random. It's possible that you can't compress it enough or perhaps you can but storing the exact data for all 10^27 is an unnecessarily naïve approach.

It existed in the 90s but many of the resources we enjoy today didn't and couldn't exist then.

That might be more due to what type of news sell rather than Facebook or Google becoming worse.

I can imagine great benefits to eradicating advertising but I fear most of the internet can't exist without the ad revenue which might lead to an overall worse state of affairs for most people.

Sadly for Deep Learning Nvidia is way better supported.

Just Ubuntu though admittedly I use a lot more packages than average so there's more that can break across updates. Also a lot of things that have caused me problems over the years are getting more stable.

By default, yes. I always quickly follow the instructions online to disable all of that on a new install so I've never encountered them. For me it's no more hassle than the things I need to do on a fresh Linux install. I haven&#x2

Performance and telemetry if you don't need anything Windows-centric like games are very good reasons. Upgrades though? Even if they are not explicitly forced I'd bet way more people (as a %) are fine using XP or 7 today than what

Linux has its conveniences but I think I definitely spend more times on updates. Some break things and some like Nvidia's drivers can take me ages to actually apply (though with that one the usual trick seems to be to remove --purge nv

WithinReason's comment seems to explain that. The benefits of being bigger compound over time.

Presumably it takes away many more flexible opportunities if you can't freely freelance.

I'm not telling you your experience isn't valid. We are comparing two approaches and I'm saying that while both cause problems one affects more people. That doesn't take away the issues with heavy js, simply makes it a l

It does happen but it's comparatively rare to actually be hindered from reading an article because of too much js while almost every PDF is a pain to read on a phone, and to a lesser extent on a monitor. You've probably read thous

5 mb of javascript is decried here but in practice it doesn't hinder the reading experience for people the majority of time while PDFs do, even more so when reading on a phone.

This paper doesn't mention IQ even once. It just discusses general effects it can have e.g. potential problems with multi-tasking for some, possible beneficial effects via increased mental stimulation for the elderly etc. This is quite

This is such a populist response but I doubt you have any citations backing that claim. Please post if you do.

If people in rural area have higher IQs (which I doubt) you'd expect to see a decrease as there's way less people living ruraly today than before.
