Could you successfully argue that its generic at this point? I strongly doubt anyone seriously thinks when you talk about Javascript, you're talking about only products and tools made by Oracle.

I think there is a very real need for a distributed operating system. Operating systems ultimately just virtualize hardware, and its clear to anyone that has used VMware or Xen that we're building such a system piecemeal and constantly

I have to wonder if everyone calling this site a cess pool has actually visited it. It was, in general, more civil and better moderated than, say, Twitter or Reddit which regularly generate a circlejerk of hatred and violent rhetoric. The s

It does feel like we could at least get procedurally generated streaming music. Music is limited enough that it feels possible, and people are more than willing to rate and save music they like. The social element of raiding another person&

I'm confused why you're confused. A discord is just a chatroom server. Click on the chatroom and type your message in the textbox and read other messages. It has native support for things IRC didn't, like emojis, the ability

The issue isn't a different cultural perspective, its censorship . In this case, the censorship is vast, arbitrary, and sweeping. Making it illegal to criticise North Korea is not protecting anyone, its oppressive.

If everyone is so sure this is where we're housing dangerous terrorists, why not charge them with a crime and allow them legal defense? If the evidence is so air-tight, so obvious we should deprive them of basic human rights, why not p

I suppose you could set up a network of pigeons. After all, an ethernet cable merely connects two points. Maybe you could train additional pigeons to route the messages somehow.

It most definitely is not. Confidence and predictions are orthogonal concepts outside of stats and ML. A gambler makes predictions, but may have no confidence in winning. A scientific model may produce predictions with no associatel claims

How about the threshold for publishability is that two independent groups come up with the same conclusion? So you have to partner with another team somewhere else in the world in order to get published, and then you get joint credit.
