Yeah, I've long thought that the syndication that happens via server-server communication could be replaced with a smarter client. As far as UI goes, Twitter seems more like a browsable network, e.g. @ IDs, follower/follows lists,

Yeah it might seem that way but pelicans don't come from pterosaurs.

Natural history museum in LA. They have a big exhibit on theropods and pterosaurs and show the birds that possibly evolved from them. Birds are dinosaurs under all the usual biological classification schemes. Similar phenotypes, similar gen

YouTube is cool but I prefer directly learning on MITOCW. Maybe you might prefer that too.

Pelicans seem to evolve from pterosaurs but ostriches seem to have come from theropods. Since those are both birds, I would guess pterosaurs and theropods are just as closely related as pelicans and ostriches.

I wouldn't want a tool like this deciding what I do or don't see. I thought that was part of the reason from moving away from centralizing platforms. What benefits does this provide over simply not following people?

Hi Doreen, I simply stated "what you failed to understand" because you posed the theory that I was either a troll or "failing to understand" (your words) that my post offended people. Yes I've admitted that the co

I think what you are failing to understand is that merely offending people is not punishable by censorship in a liberal society. "I may not agree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." I antagoniz

Fair but they effectively did censor my comment if they didn't honor my request to unflag it. In any case, do you think that comment should have been censored? If so, why?

Hey, no need to insult my social skills. I get that maybe the content of my post offends some people but it is scientific fact. There's a difference between being intentionally rude / antagonistic, and civilly presenting data that

Those comments cannot be seen, they are marked as "[flagged]" if you browse with cookies off, at least. I disagree that it was off topic, it was directly related to the post I was replying to. I understand that people might disagr

Admittedly I'm not an expert on the censorship rules of the site but I was under the impression that the mods had the ability to unflag comments. It was never made clear to me why that comment was flagged or why it was considered &quot

I'm respectful and polite in this forum. I've been blocked simply for saying things with which some largish group of down voters don't agree. I am trying to leave this site but boredom always pulls me back :) That and I reall

Okay, I think they do. They've censored my comments many times.

by comesee 8y ago
'they' here refers to the mods. Should have clarified, I thought it was clear from the context.

I find that lobste.rs has a higher rate of "skill" articles. They also don't arbitrarily censor comments, which is nice.

I understand that you think Breitbart is manipulative but you really haven't offered any examples or any other type of evidence. I've never seen an article on Breitbart claim "black is bad" or "immigrants are bad.&q

A math degree is worth it. Learn graduate level statistics and machine learning. Then apply it to something.

The word kill is also pretty offensive. Police kill many people of color daily. Slaves were killed by their owners. I think more inclusive verbs are disable or quiesce.

I'm not. I didn't realize people thought Breitbart was racist. Forget conservatives. Let me rephrase, can you really not imagine an intelligent decent person subscribing to Breitbart?

Not trying to instigate a flame war, thanks for correcting my language if that's what it seems like. I'm earnestly trying to understand what it is about Breitbart that causes Jacques to have the opinion that the people who produce

I'm not trying to frame this as an emotional affair. Feelings was just an expression in that case. I don't have an ulterior motive here, I'm sincerely asking in good faith. What are your objective issues with Breitbart? Nothi

I don't think that conservatively biased media is necessarily either stupid or cynically manipulative. Bastards is a strong word. Can you really not imagine an intelligent decent person genuinely holding conservative beliefs? You seem

Breitbart is hardly unique in being accused of being a tool for manipulating voters for the business-owning elite. In any case, it's just a conspiracy theory. You have no reason to believe the people at Breitbart don't sincerely

I think the jargon you're looking for is "yak shaving" not bikeshedding (which is about arguing about minor changes).

by comesee 8y ago
Isn't bikeshedding defined to be "arguing about trivial details." The first article wasn't about arguing. Also since semantics are trivial, this is meta.

You can make that happen :) FOSS drivers for Nvidia/AMD/intel gpus could serve as a basis for the hardware interface you target. I would probably target an Intel GPU.
