I actually agree with you that it's just a different political opinion, and I had meant to convey it in a neutral way here. Both Mr. Harai and many nationalists seem to agree that the decentralization of power is important, but they di

It's interesting that Mr. Harai's analysis is almost exactly like what you might typically find from a typical right-wing person except for the proposed solutions. Among people who support various nationalist causes around the wor

This is one reason why GNU is so important. Some people might think they're zealots about free software, but if you have to trust someone with your software, wouldn't you rather trust someone who has built their reputation on resp

This opens up the question of whether you would rather have systems tracking trust or not. They say it's done in a way so that the score isn't identifiable by anyone at Apple but acts as a security measure to prevent fraud. In som

It's more of an open secret, like the way certain terms are obscured by EULAs. The information is there for anyone who wants to look into it, but most people don't care or don't have the incentive to investigate. The importan

The difference is that people disliking Ticketmaster is actually a feature of their brand. The vast majority goes to the artist, but Ticketmaster takes a lot of blame for high prices, and everyone wins.

I'm honestly amazed at how well digital purchases have held up, and the fact that this is an expectation is evidence of the quality of service that's become standard. When I first started purchasing digital media, the expectation

9x performance on the Neural Engine compared to the A11 is the big increase. We'll probably see slower CPU/GPU increases with massive advances in AI for a few generations now.

They didn't give any reason for doing so that I'm aware of. Maybe they have ambitions of their own for streaming thier games as a paid service and don't want competition.

That's good to hear! If it doesn't use any third party servers, then it might be good to even advertise it as an alternative to people who foermerly used the banned services.

Advertising Overwatch is an unfortunate choice and makes me think they haven't fully done their homework. Blizzard recently changed their terms of service to include a clause stating that they will ban any accounts that use cloud gamin

I'm not an alt-right supporter, but if you look at something as deep as the Richard Spencer level of extremism in your diagram, I'd say it's not so different from the kinds of ideas that would be mainstream in China or Japan.

I'm curious about why you accept the idea that the smallest, most extreme versions of certain ideologies are the true beliefs, while the more widespread and moderate versions are just nascent extremists. The extremists definitely advoc

That's not taking it nearly far enough. Our distant ancestors were very adept at destroying ecosystems and causing extinctions with only flint and spears. They massively disrupted every environment they explored. If we want to live non

If you want to access your home folder in both, all you have to do is first create the folder in Windows, for example, create a wslhome folder inside your user folder in windows. Copy everything in your current WSL home folder, including hi

I appreciate your sense of doubt about often overblown predictions for the usefulness of the next new thing, but I think some of your claims are a bit too pessimistic. The Apple Watch can hardly be considered a flop. They're now sellin

I've seen this often, but I don't think it's true. How about "liberated"? This implies that restrictions did exist at one point, which is true, as copyright is assigned by default and needs to be explicitly liberate

You still see Microsoft's predictable behavior in 2018 by looking at a discontinued product from 2012-2014? I think that's evidence that there has been a shift, and support for Linux has improved significantly since then. Of cours

This is a good point. Sustainable growth requires a balance of power, which is why things have developed in this direction. Collective action at large scale has traditionally been controlled by governments. The most successful governments a

This is really an incredible kind of communism. Corporate America makes bad chocolate, which proves that capitalism is a lie, so buy corporate British chocolate.

I think "the protection of individual liberty" in this case includes regulation of corporations which act against liberty. The request is that the government not grant special privileges to some corporations refers mostly to thing

That information may not be accurate, but either way there's confusion between two related things: Stellar and lumens. Stellar is the technology which anyone can use to create tokens which may or not be exchangeable for other types of

This part is also important: "Uber publicly denied that they would receive an individual’s spending habits from the Uber card." The article is pure speculation about Uber's aspirations with a lot of links to credit cards.

When someone writes a book and you read it, the best thing you can do is try to interpret their meaning. You should really read the whole thing, and the context might make more sense.

“One of the many ironies” doesn’t only imply unintentional irony. You should note that Haidt is a liberal.

by ewzimm 9y ago
I think Haidt understands perfectly well that this is hyperbole, but it shows a severe lack of empathy even so.

This is where tribal understanding comes in. “Pizzagate” has proven to be accurate by the understanding of its proponents. The name is a joke, and it really has nothing to do with pizza; the basic premise of it is that there are pedophiles

This is a fascinating proof of its own conjecture. The author bashes "tribal epistemology" while enthusiastically engaging in it. I think people experiencing this kind of fear should consider reading Jonathan Haidt's "Th

Socialism and communism are often used interchangeably, but communism almost always refers to the end state, while socialism tends to encompass both the transition and the end state. It’s a little hazy even to Marxists. This might help clea

by ewzimm 9y ago
Those are perspectives grounded in history, but I think you’d have to qualify socialism in that case as “market socialism” or “democratic socialism” as it’s understood today. Marx did lay out socialism as the next stage to follow capitalism
