Not with the new acts passed this last week. Only established players are in that space now (Also - this is going to get way worse now with fees devaluing the dollar that are now invisible to the average consumer).

I'd rather be lonely than a fascist. It's not a pipeline. Fascism may try to exploit it. But you are responsible for you: not someone else. Loneliness doesn't turn someone fascist. Fascist tendencies cause loneliness, if anyt

*recent years... hm... what happens if we map history to now (rhymes likes chimes)... what should we expect to see then? And to be frank. Only fascists fraternize with fascists. It probably also contributes to the loneliness epidemic when n

The choice of transformation steps to facilitate this specific diffuse approach seems like a non-trivial problem. It doesn't follow such an organic solution would emerge at all, now, does it?

Right, but that smoothly(ish) resolves all at the same time. That might be sufficient, but it isn't actually replicating the thought process described above. That non-linear thinking is different than diffuse thinking. Resolving in a w

Most crypto, no. The one to look at for that is Monero: the closest thing to private(anonymous) digital cash that I've found (so far).

Agreed. Chaining readied actions is the real issue here. Maybe the mechanical fix is - as you say - a limit on that. I would simply say that a readied action can not be in response to a action that has itself been readied.

which AFAIN IANAL, copyright and exhaustive rights are completely different. Under copyright, once a book is purchased: that's it. Reselling the same, or transformed (re: highlighted) worked 'used' is 100% legal, as is consum

We need to define nebulous terms like 'better'... to a company that's synonymous with what is 'cheapest' to their bottom line. To a player, that's a more effective anti-cheat. To my understanding, the latter is

that's where you turn and say: well, the game developer executives however... In all seriousness, DRM/anti-cheats => rootkits/rats. Don't fall for it. Demand better.

That poster seems to have thought things through. A first hand account of an industry of suffering, and our best evidence on how plants work and a well reasoned conclusion. A 'guess' is less than accurate.

by altruios 1y ago
If plants make decisions, and have preferences. Then ethically, are we not bound to consider those preferences? Then again: nothing wants to be eaten... Lab grown meat can't come fast enough: ethical flesh to consume.

We are excellent at figuring things out. We get better at it over time, as we grow our collective knowledge base. I agree that we are great at figuring out things before we have a model of why things work. And we have a mountain of context

not who you are replying to - but: Shakespeare was limited by the number of interactions he had with humans. He did not have the internet. We also have neurology as a science now. So that's one bit of evidence for the claim. Of course
