To add to this there are* serious issues with naming. I wrote an app that ran on IPFS last year and throughout testing there was a persistent problem with needing to issue the testers with a new hash/link for each new version because I

I like the idea of biodiversity as much as the next person but the climate paradigm is we have to do something or we're all going to die. "Green" causes are not guaranteed to align with each other and when they come head to h

That's a double edged sword though. Humans being bad at telling the difference between cheating and skill is not good for training your AI to spot cheaters but at the same time it lowers the bar for how good your AI needs to be. The me

There was a point a year or two ago where everyone was recounting these stories of how AI targeted advertising was terrifyingly accurate, it could tell you were pregnant before you found out for yourself, etc. At the time I was routinely op

I think Twitch would occupy the same category of "band-aid" services described in the article. It's a commercial simulation of hanging out with friends but scaled up so one person can provide the experience of a friend for a

You're overhyping the knowledge a bit. It can't have been gathered over that great a span of time because he was only in his late teens when he did this. Also I've been able to work out most of it myself over a period of abou

To add to this, disabling WebRTC when you're not using it (media.peerconnection.enabled in Firefox) is also a good idea as when it's enabled websites can use it to derive your IP address behind a proxy/NAT such as a VPN or a

I can't help but feel that without also adding a right to life for insects or similar this swiftly leads to the conclusion that we should pave over the rainforests to minimize long-term suffering.

Mass shootings contribute fewer than 1% of US gun homicides as far as I know so any policy based around them should raise serious question marks on that basis alone. Otherwise not to be pedantic but that doesn't lead to mutual exclusiv

Seems like the problem here is that the various safety nets don't extend to such people in the first place. It would also probably go a long ways to curbing the "employ ten people for 4 hours a week each" strategy we see used

I think that's true in a historical sense, it was women who joined the workforce as the second household income and started the vicious cycle I proposed (if such a thing exists, what do I know about economics). But you can still constr

If you take it as a given that all the men work and will continue to work then yes, women entering workforce means the birth rate declines. But that isn't a given, men can leave the workforce just as women can enter it. My point is tha

I don't think it's particularly a women-centric issue and you're never going to have a real discussion about it while it's posed as one. The majority of the burden of children obviously falls on women but time wise it&#x
