Edit: at least point out why you're downvoting me, this is a straightforward answer to the question. -- - The wall - Fight against sanctuary cities, including now support for a bill that would allow relatives of murdered US citizens wh

I don't think this is always true. You could believe that something like Bitcoin is a good investment over a 10-year term, but recognize that it's volatile in the short-term, and so want to dollar-cost-average for that reason, reg

People who are rich are equally rare, and so require a larger voice to represent themselves and not be eliminated by the masses/will of the majority.

Yeah but climate science is complicated by the fact that it is overwhelmingly political. You could say the same thing about geocentrism, germs [1], fat vs sugars, etc. - which all turned out to be false, given time and scrutiny. Scientists

This guy's Twitter thread doesn't seem like a great defense, because he doesn't make any specific scientific claims. It's all just ad-hominem that this org are "climate deniers." More troubling is his claim tha

Capital allocation doesn't have to be the goal for them to actually be doing that in effect.

It's also the only thing that provides all these things end-to-end encrypted, a lot of people don't realize that and so don't realize why others are interested in it.

It may also do that, sure. But you're telling me it does not provide speed improvements?

Not denying this happens on the internet but it seems like these people weren't aware that the crypto currency incentive on keybase was creating this kind of spam for everyone and not specifically them.

But speed results in better ranking, and that's what amp provides.

One thing I really like about Larry Page is that it's obvious he never really wanted to be a manager. He's a real nerd at heart who likes technology. But he also realized the value of what he created and acted as a good steward fo

Any chance you know of a list of such anomalies?

It's typically endearing for everyone the first time they see Musk present, and I agree with that. But after seeing it enough times you wonder why it's getting worse, rather than improving.

I know Musk is typically awkward on stage, but this one is the worst by far. He seems like he's on drugs. It's not even the way he speaks, it's like looking around paranoid. The car failed the glass demo, and he seems complet

I agree, I think it would be really exciting to start to see modern architecture that is warm and textured at the street level.

I actually appreciate this. Glass and steel are nice from a distance, but when's the last time on the sidewalk you actually took a pause and leaned on one for a break? These new textures are cold and distant, pristine and fragile. You&

Kind of a good sign that Google's internal teams actually work independently and don't give special exemptions to other units of the company?

Genuine question, can you elaborate on the supposed relationship between sleep orientation and CPAP?

That's kind of besides the point though. He was showing that even when printing things that would be considered legally truthful, you can still maintain a narrative.

by beaner 7y ago
It is very easy to print things that are true but still have a bias. For example, printing things that are true but good about one political party, while printing things that are true but bad about another, is a bias. Almost every news medi

You might partly have a point if it wasn't applied so unevenly. If a gamer said "Bernie 2020!" or advocated the free state project, would the same thing happen? Blizzard wants money and is pandering to the Chinese government.

Anyone know why they changed it so that you now need a router + repeater, rather than every point being a router and repeater like Google Wifi was? That was much simpler - all units interchangeable. Cost reduction maybe?

You didn't receive anything new. You already had the keys. There was simply a new client created to let you access these alternative coins. If you own bitcoin private keys, you already own coins on an infinite number of hard forks. You

In the US, because the government is not profit-driven, results rarely matter. So workers are seldom penalized for poor performance. So you end up with shitty workers. There are lots of people with great work ethic in the US, they're j

Are you saying this out of theory or experience? Anecdotally as a user I can tell you that when I see a compelling snippet, I am more likely to click, not less.

Yeah I think you're right on that. Challenge a pop musician to make a song using only a banjo and a synth and they'll produce something cool and unexpected. Good cuisine has come over time from the scarcity of food, and people put

Anecdotally, I think you've got the examples wrong. For me, announcing specific projects that I'm working on definitely demotivates me. After announcing personal projects that may or may not fully happen, it feels like I'm th

For the last couple of months the highs have been dropping and the lows remained steady. Eventually these two trends met, and the price needed somewhere to go. The general downward trend implied the price would pop down, and that's wha
