I would even say that negative karma is never a crime, or even a bad thing. Just because an opinion isn't popular, doesn't mean one shouldn't voice it. (As long as it's not against the community guidelines or an actua

Yes, I suppose it would be wrong, or at least unfair, to only call people without any negative urges good . It certainly would mean that I myself would be far from good. On the other hand, given the choice, I would rather be around people

I'm still not quite convinced about this. Sure, you might lose all inhibition and just do whatever you want. But that would mean that a drunken rapist wants to rape, even while sober, but usually has the power to control himself. A

I think the parent would agree that alcohol increases the likelihood of "good people doing bad things"; but alcohol won't make a good person do a terrible thing, like rape.

I was about to write the same thing. The 3b1b video is my gold standard for blockchain explanations. I also have high hopes for his ongoing neural network series[0], but haven't yet found time to watch the first two videos. [0] https:&

Interesting, a user in another part of the thread also mentioned that he still has the bug problem with his Jeep. Seems like it could actually be a question of aerodynamics.

Same thing goes for Super Mario 64. The popular TASer pannenkoek actually explored whether it was possible to manipulate Demo-Mario's starting position in such a way that he collects a star with the demo input (this was for the purpose

I was able to read it just fine. In fact, if the text were any smaller, I would probably have problems reading it. Especially on this shaky bus ride.

I didn't realize an IQ of 90 was "fairly stupid" nowadays. I actually meant that as an example for a "smart enough" person. Of course one has to draw the line somewhere, and of course there will be false positives a

"Ten, eight hundred"? But I see what you mean. Especially when you reach the teens, e.g. "17700", it would sound pretty bad.

Indeed, lately I have seen more slow AMPs (the acronym already contains the word "page" btw) than fast ones. Multiple issues, including the one the grandparent is pointing out, make AMP look and feel like a step back.

We blame people for acting stupid, not for being stupid. As you mentioned, someone with an IQ of 90 or higher should have all the mental capacity to go about their day without causing chaos or running in front of a bus. But when they choose

Maybe the actual password dialogue could contain some kind of visual code, like the one on paper money. Then the OS could detect when a fake password input is shown to the user, just like copy machines detect it when you put a bank note in
