Yeah, 100%. People underestimate what "kids" can do - especially when we're talking about 14+ year olds who have been using technology their whole lives. Giving them the opportunity to work on Something Real might be more app

I love this idea, but it seems that in general bureaucracies are not agile or freethinking enough to be willing to risk doing something like this, even though in the long run it might be amazing. Imagine if an easy-to-administer system of t

Yeah, that's the long and the short of it. RMS has had fantastic ideas, and I think he generally cares quite a bit about humanity, but the guy is weird, and people don't seem to be willing to put up with that brand of weird. (You

Implying I put a mask on. Do you think I'm bothered or intimidated by the fact that I hold a contrarian opinion? I think RMS is a net good in the world. 99% of everything he's ever said and done has been some weird superposition o

I think we're still a generation or so away from getting to this level. Fundamentally, though, it doesn't seem to be too wild of a suggestion that DNA is going to end up looking like an incredibly complex, incredibly hacky compute

I strongly believe that if Opera had had a cool name, it would have been a real contender. People don't like operas, they're boring and stodgy.

Sounds like an instance of the No True Scotsman fallacy to me, friend. What is capitalism if not the systems that purport to be it? It's like saying "communism has never been tried". They tried _something_, and they certainly

Phrasing things as an optimization problem can result in better, more efficient arrangements than how things are presently, but only within the limits that people are willing to accept. It also depends what we're optimizing for - if we

Sure does, but my beautiful-but-old amplifier does not have HDMI. I use SPDIF a lot, but haven't found a good cheap USB-to-SPDIF sound card yet. Plenty of pricier ones, but the point here is to find some use for something I already che

No, you're stuck at some kind of 2008 view on the topic. The conclusion here is actually "these things are not caused by racism, because you can completely remove white people from the equation and yet the situation only ever gets

Mmm. I have an RPi 4 but misclicked when ordering and ended up with a 1GB model. The Kodi performance on it is unacceptably bad; which is surprising considering that codebase used to run on an Xbox 1 with one core and 64MB.... so it became
