There was some generic big-company hate thrown in there, but the author really didn't say anything half as coherent in the OP as you did.

I don't know why, but it never quite hit me what the point of that thought experiment was until now. I heard about it in the context of predictions markets where people wanted to know the outcome of negative events and how it could enc

If we're being pedantic, the Open Source Definition can't actually define what is and isn't open source, they can only say what is allowed their trademark certification. It's like if a there was a food label "natura

My understanding was that TikTok was basically the Chinese response to periscope and vine, which was popular, but couldn't make money. TikTok's scheme is to be spyware that even puts Facebook to shame, in a way that I'm not c

This investigation netted Amazon a fortune. The world has plenty of problems, but you're only in charge of the ones at your job.

I'm guessing its more about knowingly and intentionally breaking the law bit, then that he was angry they were breaking the law.

Some kind of typo or misunderstanding. "A" represented the glottal stop, not the vowel sound. Maybe the person who wrote that article was struggling to explain what a glottal stop was? Either way, its nonsense.

Hour glass, floppy disk, envelope, AA style battery for laptops, and now manilla folders go on the pile of icons that are too abstract for people to recognize anymore. What next, people won't recognize the sheet of paper for document a

You've very eloquently put to words my disappointing experiences with that. I hope that someone who understands the problem that well that they can state the problem so unambiguosly, will be able to deliver a novel solution.

Its great that they didn't hold a grudge, but I don't see why I should be moved by it. Of course they were happy, they were finally being given what they were promised. A prisoner being exonerated of a crime they were falsely accu

This doesn't work because humans are the consumer. Humans purchase things based on their own person values. Capitalism has the instrumental goal of maximizing human values. In addition, humans engage in every stage of the process. Some

I came to the realization that not everyone feels emotions the same way. In therapy, I often had people ask me to try to describe my emotions in terms of bodily images and ask me to justify how I know I'm sad or angry or whatever. It a

There's an aphantasia subreddit I checked out once. There was a discussion where people mentioned that they could hear a song in their head and play it back, and they could recall a voice or speak in their head, but it had never occurr

tl;dr email isn't needed, people are just used to it. It's a fair point, and perhaps its one that the likes of Apple SignIn should solve. On the one hand, even Microsoft and Apple send me heaps of spam under the guise of "com

It's also likely that 99% of users have no reason to share their email with you. Also, your app is extremely untrustworthy. It sounds like a random app you find by searching for key words. You're not Microsoft or Google, you hav

Not likely. All the conservatives have move to /r/conservative, which actually bans people for threatening to kill people and things like that, and Reddit appears to have no problem with them.

They didn't ban Trump, nor did they ban all subreddits about Trump. They banned a single subreddit which repeatedly violates reddit rules and refuses to moderate according the rules.

Haskell hates side effects, but not functional programming. FP has been fine with side effects for decades - even SML, the precursor the Haskell, has them, although forwned upon.

The goal of OOP is also to be modular and composable. I think the thing that is a good design choice is modular and composible. It's what the industrial revolution / assembly line was based on. It's what vim keybindings are

I would think Maxis actually tells you the best way to be a success. Maxis doesn't say their games are educational and players don't feel like they're trying to be. But they were, and Maxis wanted them to be. I've heard

The original name was because the logic seemed to do with time. If some proposition p is true, and then some event q comes along and we can derive "if p and q then r" then now we know that r is true, but we can no longer be sure t

Half of those don't even render for me. French quotes seem fair though, since we throw $'s around in languages like every country needs a dollar sign on their keyboards.

Yes. In classical logic, p OR !p is always true. You have to add these axioms to get classical logic. Intuitionistic logic doesn't have that. p OR !p is not necessarily true in intuitionistic logic.
