yes, but the point is that spammers can easily modify that part of the address to make the filter stop working.

The breakfast kickstarting myth came from research tainted by funding from the breakfast cereal industry. It’s fake, and completely not true. Historically breakfast came from breaking the fast of the day before, which would be around modern

Human's have many basic goals that are very dangerous when isolated in that way. It seems to me that nature didn't care (and of course, can't care) if it was dangerous at all when coming up with intelligence. Maybe we shouldn

“Yes, adding a backdoor increases our collective security because it allows law enforcement to eavesdrop on the bad guys.“ No it does not. By definition if the backdoor exists the bad guys won’t use it. This is clearly an excuse for monitor

When you say "our society", do you mean USA? I know the approach to work in France where I live is vastly different. Most people I talk with consider work to be a means to an end, and life being much more about the things you do b

I can imagine something along the lines of checking whether user interaction was the root cause of getting access to the clipboard as a middle ground... e.g. on web, popup blockers work this way. If a user interacts with a button, and that

It’s a pretty flexible game system. A good GM would allow it I think, but with a high difficulty rating for hacking it.

That’s a great idea :)

That sounds correct, don’t pay ad placements, but do charge advertisers. Right up there with usual adtech morals.

By evolving intelligence that creates computers and models and does that exact simulation, and then modifies the necessary biology to apply the best scenario. Seems to me we’re well on our way there.

For me Brave has incentive problems too. They are aiming to replace the adtech market, but I'd rather a browser was made by someone seeking to abolish rather than replace that broken incentive space.

I can on the bad side from personal experience, but prefer not to talk about it publicly. I’d be ok to say in private, feel free to mail me sheldon.els+psy[at]gmail.com

Seconding that. This was one of my favourite games ever because of how well it manages to achcieve that feeling.

In crime we call it “organised” crime. I’m banking it’s just “doing business”. Maybe we should make this kind of invention of value out of thin air illegal?

I’d highly recommend fluent forever instead. You’ll actually learn a language instead of thinking you are without making progress. It’s also much much faster.

The protocol underneath mastodon can do all that too. I’d like to see federation with existing decentralised protocols with similar intent.

I’m pretty sure diamonds are expensive due to artificial scarcity introduced by debeers holding on to huge quantities. No need for some fancy ideas there, they should really rename that paradox to some material that wasn’t market manipulate

I would absolutely love a system like this. Like having a pet that you teach to sit. It’s so rewarding when they get it right. :) If people enjoyed this kind of interaction with their computer, it would become common place and they'd l

Start with your attention. The impact will be even bigger than your vote. Avoid services altogether that abuse you, even if there’s some benefit you gain out of it.

But not using Facebook gives a +80% score too right? I mean, only a terrorist cares about his privacy. I have nothing to hide. :|

I agree about usenet, but must admit it’s not very accessible to people unfamiliar with it. I think a good web interface would go a long way to helping adoption. Perhaps one exists and I’m just not aware.

Stop using that app. Stop using ecosystems that allow for it to take it a step further.

Is this release actually true?

Thanks for this warning, I didn’t realise software support was such an issue.

Actually, I think the interpretation of simplicity as ease is an awful thing in the context of programming and should be actively discouraged. Rich Hickey’s talk “simple made easy” is the best explanation I’ve ever seen of this.

Fair enough, indeed I would advise to use with caution around data that needs to be kept safe from deletion. I think of this as a nice idea for experimenting forms of coding like spikes, but wouldn’t run something like this against a produc

Stop at x time. What else is dangerous?

I don’t believe that’s true. “Anonymous” tracking cookies are still unique to the individual and such can easily contribute to identifying them, and so are included as personal.

re 1: Slow - compared to google docs? Are you serious? I can't speak for the poster above yours, but I would be serious. In my experience, on the startup time, google docs way out performs open office. It's open in single digit se

That's more likely a lack of hardware acceleration I recently learned, if you're talking about youtube. They use VP9 by default, which isn't hardware accelerated in most cases. I installed this recently and the difference in
