A cult problem. But cult problems can be solved too. Trumpism might be cult-lite but it’s not something people cannot be led to see as harmful. Find what hooked them. Show that the outcome isn’t as Trump implied. Frame the failure as intent

If they store the product and know what it is. Yes. Maybe Amazon can compromise. They can stop selling their own things on their platform.

What’s wrong referring to the relevant sex characteristics? Why change language for the exceptional and small population? A man who gives birth is still the mother even if they take a social role of a father later in the child’s development

The dog whistle is a message hidden to those not in the know. An unintentional dog whistle is a hidden message shared by mistake. Either not intended and so a false message, or not intended but accidentally shared.

Then you’ll have to invent new language for one or the other because they’ve different and merely related meanings. I agree though. We should always intend for accurate and consistent language.

Being fair these are semantically different meanings of “theft”. 1. Movie copyright is compared, by its owners and the law, to physical theft. This type of theft does not remove the physical use or any use from the owners. 2. GPL copyright

> rare to see, on the other hand, someone insert themselves into politics quite so loudly, and in such an extreme way. Publicly sure. I assume it’s always been this way though. And I’m more concerned about the ones we’re unaware of.

This is the lovely type of page Google used to surface when you needed to learn something. This was the internet. It’s different now. HN is the only place I know how to stumble on this type of thing now.

> a big trend of "convergence" a few years ago This is a good comment. It’s true but wasn’t that 10+ years ago. The points you make aren’t as true anymore. Phones could support limited multitasking. I don’t need all of the tab

Where would one read about how the system works here? I’m not understanding why a lending body would lend against the theoretical value of a buildings rents rather than the actual maximum monthly rents over the last ~3 years.

Gigamon products consistently creep me out. Pretty sure they’re mostly good to great, but they always make me think panopticon.

No doubt but land ownership doesn’t have the same network effects as telecom. Assuming there is a clean cut between ticketing and venues it would also be helpful to see breakups of LN property between regions.

Agreements forcing artists to only use LN locations and TM ticketing in markets where possible. Ticketing is relatively easy since the early days so competition should help. We also need better laws defining what can and cannot be a fee. Fe

You want them to share their IoC so the exploit authors can add to the exploit’s mitigations?

To be fair “no drums” is not a modern take. Also drums would not be as useful as accompaniment for as piano and organ for the old hymns which used to be sung.

Thanks. I see my comment was lacking. I intended to say something closer to returning a chaotic state. An inverted pendulum will become stable but someone with ptsd will continue to be chaotic. Saying psychedelics are dangerous for a stabl

Not tongue in cheek but you basically have my meaning. Reaperman was closer with his statement that they’re chaotic. I mean to say they are stuck in a chaotic state which they wish to escape but cannot.

Is it not? Psychedelics are being tested for treating PTSD. What is chronic PTSD other than a stable mindset? The point of psychedelic treatment being to destabilize an unwanted mindset.

I think about what drug caused the burned out hippie vibe and between weed and psychedelics I think it’s the psychedelics. I think that because any drug that helps one draw new connections eventually starts drawing potential connections th

I think you’re nuts :) I find them super helpful for refreshing when I need to see the flow for protocol exchanges like SIP, FTP, TLS. I don’t know how else you would model that. Words don’t communicate deeply enough.

Can tax payers also take ownership of the physical plant and sell access like we do to public airwaves? States rights should allow at least some states to do the right thing.

Side to side motion is actually what I meant and what I do sometimes in poor weather driving or when I have branches up close and blocking my vision while trying to see beyond them.

Do you swivel your head like an owl to get parallax? I find if I do that in inclement weather I feel better.

Yes it is relevant. While it’s true that no cultural output can say anything about a culture. Taking many examples can give some insight. I referenced one I believe is exemplary. The example of western comics is weak since I don’t know t

I think you are mistaken. While people may no longer explicitly speak about it I see in Korean manhwa that the idea of using gifts to obligate a wealthy persons lessers, or being shrewed considering who to accept favors from one’s betters t
