TNG is the most comprehensive analysis of ethics I've ever witnessed. No media or publication even comes close to delivering such a sense of understanding the timeless difficulties of the human experience.

Yes. You can actually flip the script with "think of the children arguments" because banning E2EE fundamentally makes children less safe. However I suspect it's worse than this: these law maker's don't care about ch

I think these things usually come down to perceptions of human intervention as basically bad. If you actually witnessed the death of every individual dog in your scenario as compared with euthanasia, it's not clear that it would be mor

To play devil's advocate here, I do think that human sensibilities about life preservation can be inconsistent and illogical. Your comment itself is contradictory is it not? If I am to understand "Also, wtf?" to mean somethin

People forget that the only difference between genius and fraud is success. Succeed, and you will go down not as a liar but making "premature promises"[0]. I believe that generally people like Holmes and SBF actually think they wi

Something I have struggled to find nearly as much material on is where our _molecules_ come from. I know of lots of ways in which they're formed, but things like, are there any molecules in stars? How much? How much are they distribute

This is kind of what I mean. You're talking about the DNS part alone here. I can encourage all of my friends to pass `/etc/hosts` around, just like those in Stanford originally did with HOSTS.txt, and I have domains.

Domain registration is the most fascinating interaction between multiple outlooks. There's the true hacker spirit of DNS resolution as a technology. There's the lawful bureaucracy of ICANN shoe-horning the technology into a legal

My original post left too much to the imagination and I realise re-reading it that it appears as an attack on professionalism within science, and possibly even an attack specifically on the parent commenter's friend, and I regret that

I believe you have misread my post. Powers that be continue to want me to not have mind altering experiences. I continue to have them anyway. So it goes.

This system of scientific gatekeeping and law enforcement is a direct projection of the barriers put in place between individuals and god by the catholic church. For millennia authorities have attempted to prevent people from having meaning

My comment was unnecessarily inflammatory, apologies for that. I do concur about unnecessary meetings!

The worst thing about bluetooth headphones is that people who use them subject everyone else to their awful microphone quality while either oblivious or in denial about the fact.

Meditation helps with this. Befriend the tinnitus. It is easy to let go of something for which you have only equanimity.

Dog's don't become superseded by next year's flashy model, and owners who become bored of them can't put them in the loft to gather dust. I suspect the target market will never be the same as real pets. Maybe you could s

No but what _might_ work is a VR headset and headphones so that when they do go into the real MRI they can experience some kind of fun analogue, like they are lying in a colourful forest being rolled into a carved out wooden log, watching b

Or it simply suggests that this is advantageous behaviour and that different learning methodologies would result in the same behaviour.

One way to see Asimov's "infinity of wrongness" is perhaps as a fractal. You could view the bulbs in the mandelbrot as being a kind of knowledge, and the "main bulb" occupying the majority of the area belonging to t

I thought the same thing (though you could do it without anchors as long as the static content server used a glob for routing all traffic to the same web page). It would really simplify hosting.

WASI support is more a property of the host, no? If I compile some guile to WASM and it imports things from WASI, the compiler doesn't need to do anything to support it. The WASM host simply has to provide those imports according to th

Based on what I've seen in cities, something tells me that many of the neighbours will complain of pests and get regulators involved to prevent the food forest approach. I'd like to see otherwise though.

If the yield is better, why don't more do it? Is it just because it takes more skill, basically? In other words, what are the economic incentives working against adopting this farming method? I'm very interested because this type
