On the other hand, a corporation cannot be allowed to continue its anti-competitive practice just because the subject is too complex for an average person to comprehend. Techology isn't going away and is becoming ever more important. I

Then Microsoft can push security updates automatically but that in no way excuses them to push anything else.

Huh? SoundHound still works, I have it installed on my phone.

My SO and I have been discussing this for years and everyone we've spoken with about this stared at us like we were crazy. It's weird finally encountering someone who is describing it in the exact same terms. We do experience it

I agree. My comment wasn't about shaming the old standards but about establishing new ones.

These use cases sound a bit like using a chainsaw to trim your beard.

In my opinion, it's highly unlikely the ex NSA chief has any kind of worthwhile expertise in "predicting what large numbers of people do". He's a director, not some kind of universal expert or superhero.

A bit of a tangent, but I noticed the developer says this on the website: > By using it, you explicitly allow websites to do whatever they want with cookies they set on your computer (which they mostly do anyway, whether you allow them o

You're right regarding the first part, we don't have a clear explanation of how the wave function might be related to subjective experience, but that's mostly because we don't have a good account of subjective experience

I assume it's because the pronunciation sounds a bit like "nigga", though not really.

No, the poster already said the above should be enough for anyone. /s

I think there is some misunderstanding here based on the wording used. OPs point is simply that there is no separate, explicit branching process. Instead, there is only the normal, continuous evolution of the wavefunction. Our experience is

I think GPT-3 would've probably written it more accurately.

Please let's not get confrontational, I didn't mean it as a nitpick. I just think that there is a point at which we have to ask ourselves whether we truly need any of this. If all the options sucks, perhaps the only move is to d

It's a bit silly to emphasize specific communities if this results in a ban of the entire app or network. ~all apps and networks have some communities like that. I don't think this is a complex question at all, this is just

Why would we need to hand off our data to Big Tech, though?

I think the idea is that if calling external C binaries is a problem, then a kernel written in C is an even larger problem. It was meant as reductio ad absurdum.

I feel bad for doing a "me too" comment, but you've nailed exactly my thoughts on the subject. I feel like Mozilla hasn't really tried something like this. Every time it gets suggested, it quickly gets shot down (by ot

Given the tone of the poster who this reply was for, it seems entirely warranted.

Fair point. It does probably make sense to just strip the words out in this case as well. I do want to point out that I didn't use those words fully consciously and I most certainly did not mean to imply the reader was ignorant. The on

That's true, though I avoid this problem by only opening HTML email from known, trusted senders where I consider it acceptable to signal that I opened the email.

That's certainly a valid reason to use mutt, but this is not at all why I use. I use because I prefer keyboard control, customizability and a simple, clean UI. Also because it's actually the least sucky (IMO) of local email client

That's fair enough, but this is why I'm not recommending this to someone who is not willing to spend half a minute searching for this one-liner. I'd also wager that the intersection of such people with the people who would ev
