I think your metaphor kinda plays against your point. Years and years ago in the movie universe, Luke had to painfully learn to use his lightsaber from a mentor who passed down techniques and philosophy to the student. In the current day of

Lots of folks in the comments acting like lawful actions, by their very nature of being lawful, are correct actions. Internet Archive took extraordinary measures during extraordinary times when these same four publishers could have done som

I mean, this is like saying that sweet onions aren't sweet. Yes, it's a regular onion, but growing conditions, fertilizers, and in-situ conditions mean that it is, in fact, a sweeter onion. Genetics would show that it's not d

Wow it's crazy how literally none of that is on the website or supported by any evidence from the link. It's almost like you did a bad job and are now blaming everyone who noticed. Even with all that being said, taking you at face

So, it's paper money, but one that won't survive heat or strong electrical fields, and that you need to use with your phone. And will lose all value if the central repository goes under. And is not recyclable or efficiently burnab

The way I read "so that another human could not tell" it was not random is that the question is truly asking about luck and probability. I have studied gambling enough to know that runs are the norm and wins are not evenly distrib

This comment and the previous one in the thread feel very salient, especially in the view of assuming good or bad faith. We've all been children, it's the burden of our human condition, but it feels like assuming others had less-t

While this is the most thoughtful comment, it seems like without the effective equivalent of population caps, price controls, and a large redistribution network, a deflationary system would involve people fighting over progressively smaller

Unless this is sarcasm, do you wanna talk about the environmental ramifications of so much work being duplicated and dumped in the bitcoin network? Like, the sheer number of machines and waste heat that comes from nodes who weren't qui

I think some inflation is good as it is an incentive to invest in capital projects. If you only have deflation, why shouldn't you hoard your wealth? I mean, since it's always going to be worth more tomorrow than today. Inflation i

The article goes to some length to talk about what questions the crypto community is asking itself. Very conspicuously, there is no discussion of sustainability, operational effectiveness, or how to ensure people born in 2022 can get into t

I knew this was gonna be a rough read after the setup. And then he got to the part where he's "just drawing parallels" between the Cultural Revolution and college campuses, and I knew there wasn't anything else I needed

I got it for free at one point and it's a fun game; however, I didn't find much of a reason to come back after finishing. I liked using my imagination to fill in the details of what happened across the game world but didn't h

In the end, you're arguing in favor of removing people from society, forcefully if needed, if they are suspected of or have cheated at running a marathon without any other considerations. And like, is that what you're really wanti

It's also telling that, in the article, the only thing he suggests he might have done differently is ask people to register on the site. Like user registration was the thing that people were concerned about. Oh and of course, he bears

By that logic are you also condoning revenge porn and other actions which violate another person's consent? If you're in favor of it, why not own it?

You're acting like the opinions on these forums are strongly held and like there aren't a significant minority of people 'trying on' personas or personality traits in order to see how others respond to them. I don't

This is my big takeaway. I think running and biking can be really fun, but I've lost friends into the morass that is LetsRun. It almost always boils down to 'That person did something I think they can't do, they must be cheat

Pretty sure 'put up with spousal abuse and neglect' isn't in the vows but that sure doesn't seem to stop a number of people from inflicting it on their partners, ad infinitum.

It's a koan. The Bhudda would play all of those games, because the games themselves are not the cause for negligence, but the attachments and importance that people give the games can create a cause for negligence. Part of the lesson&#

I really wanted to love this article and the author's ideas but couldn't help feeling like it was a rediscovery of some LISP principles while keeping some contemporary development practices. Food for thought, for sure.

I mean, you act like businesses are gonna spend the money better and not just pump up shareholder earnings... You know, like they do every time? This line of argument seems suspiciously pro-capital, like, are you personally benefiting from
