"The movie's plot is based on the true story of a group of young computer hackers from Hannover, Germany. In the late 1980s the orphaned Karl Koch invests his inheritance in a flat and a home computer. At first he dials up to bull

From what I've seen nuclear is clearly the best option at first. Once there are enough people you could get an industrial infrastructure capable of making batteries and solar PV on Mars, negating the transport cost factor.

Perhaps certain modern societies are a bit like zoos in which we have placed ourselves on exhibit.

Just what I want, a phone OS from a less privacy conscious company (China, Inc.) than Google.

> You can get perhaps the clearest insight into this by looking at geeky films from the 80s before they started to bury the unpalatable stuff. "The girl" is the reward. The geeky hero (a boy/teen/manboy) gets to win b

Yeah but why does this stuff take root so aggressively in sites dedicated to these specific things? Anime seems like the most ubiquitous common denominator here. These days when I see an Anime avatar and the person is not Japanese, it seems

So this is yet another anime / comics / gaming fan-site that's transformed into a hotbed of misogyny, fascism, and borderline terrorism advocacy? The link between geek culture and the latter things is something I am still try

There are tons of non-gamified and non-surveillance-capitalist forums out there about all kinds of topics. I realize not everything and everyone on the chans is toxic, but there is quite a lot of toxic presence there. I think the chans were

The 'chans seem almost like a leaderless cult. I've also seen people get completely sucked into them in this really honestly creepy way. I suppose it's like a subculture but minus virtually everything positive like socializin

This isn't censorship though. It's private companies refusing to host something. Nobody has been arrested for speech and there are no laws prohibiting speech that isn't overtly and specifically threatening or otherwise violat

Another 40 year old here: I mostly agree and I've also found that thinking deeply about a problem for a long time before trying to build anything pays huge dividends. In particular I spend a long time thinking about how I can simplify

The data is gathered but it's so much that any signal is drowned in noise. You either spend billions investigating hundreds of thousands of idiots spewing shit on the Internet or you miss "that one." There is no middle really

Wasn't 8chan sort of an Anime board originally like 4chan? I still can't wrap my head around this utterly bizarre anime / fascism link. Every time I see an anime avatar on Twitter or elsewhere there seems to be like a 3/

So you're telling me we are finally going to get both shiny silver vertical landing rockets (SpaceX) and jetpacks!?!?!

I think maybe we would have had slow industrialization until we figured out fission, solar PV, and good batteries.

Fossil fuels are even more accidental than that. Most of them come from the fact that woody materials evolved long before anything evolved that could break them down. Wood was the original plastic. It's quite possible that we stand whe

I've had this thought for a while too and I've wondered if I was the only one. It seems almost obvious but I've never heard it articulated in public like this. For it to work you would need the procedure to be cheap and you w

Why can't you just do all your v6 routing at l3 and skip l2 and NDP? If you were using WireGuard which is l3 then all you would need is a way to manage the routes. Can you make BGP work without l2? I seem to think you can but I've

In our culture we give them honors like political office, a record deal, or a spot in a movie and then symbolically sacrifice them in the media.

I think a lot of the age-ism has more to do with cost than skill. Older developers ask for more pay, negotiate more, and are less willing to put in uncompensated overtime. The way to get past this is to make sure you develop skills that are

It promises more than that. If we could actually have fast homomorphic execution we could have blind cloud computing.

I know a few people who are into UFO stuff and think that's exactly what was done to cover up evidence of alien presence. They also think a lot of the more common conspiracy-type mythology and fringe stuff in the UFO circuit is nonsens

If anything this stuff helps real crooks like Epstein by muddying the water and making the whole subject area look silly. I sometimes wonder if some of it is intentional. Seems like a great way to cover things up in an age where actually ke

Qanon seems to me to work like a crowdsourced cold reading act. They put out vague "breadcrumbs," wait for people to elaborate, and then feed the result back into the crowd.

I think there may be a difference of degree here. Combine an interest based monetary system with a high rate of deflation and you will have the fastest most boring game of Monopoly ever.

We are considering a license more like that adopted by CockroachDB for all our projects in the future. Haven't decided on the particulars yet.
