Indeed, philosophy has been around for millennia, probably longer than the written word.

can you have truth with a subjective language. I say it’s snowing, you say not, because we determine that “snowing” kicks in at different levels. Or perhaps we have different sensory inputs. If I’m facing the window and say the man has a re

You’re assuming people have similar desires. Even in human relations it’s dangerous. I for one don’t want to be treated the same way someone into BDSM wants to be treated. I don’t want to avoid cooking or turning the lights on (or off!) on

My shower is on the hot water system, not electric. But for fixed stuff like the light, yes, it meets IP standards. If you meet the right standards you can of course have electrics in splash domes. A standard socket is not going to meet tho

We have a generation of computer programmers who have known nothing but building on top of AWS. Vendor lockin at a career level. Most were building on top of Microsoft before that. Platform agnosticism and open source and specifically the o

What disturbs me is the speed of improvement, moreso then the capability. Maybe it will plateau in the next 6-24 months, in which case it will “only” be as disruptive as the computer or industrial revolutions, albeit at a faster pace. If no

I ran into the non existent methods and functions far more a year ago than I do today. I hadn’t even considered it as I don’t write a lot of code, Most of my job is talking with people to understand the problems and to drive strategy.

Just like the PC. Or the internet. In 1995 how many people used the internet in their daily work, of those that did how many was it a curiosity that maybe supplemented their existing business practice (sending a memo via email rather than p

It wasn’t surprise me if a lot of AI companies go bankrupt. However some will survive, and there will be far more bankruptcy and downsizing in the industries replaced

Areas of the economy suffered this time and time again. Even if there are new jobs, even if those new jobs are better paid and better conditions than the ones they replace, how does that help the 55 year old coal miner who has seen his indu

Harder than someone else. A bodybuilder and a normal person ham swing a hammer just as efficiently as each other. Dexterity is more important - after all you may have the stamina to bang in 1000 nails in an hour. I have a nail gun. What’s i

I laughed at all those except Quantum Computing and Small Nuclear reactors which I did t have a timeframe for. I suspect that small nuclear will have been overtaken by renewables. AI concerns me, it feels like it will come faster and at lea

Oh but all sites need colour banners they say This site avoids monetisation, it’s just made because the author thinks it’s cool. Therefore it’s fast, cheap, and has none of the nonsense the modern web comes with.

The socket holes are protected so you can’t jam thing in like European ones, and the metal isn’t exposed as the live and neutral are sheathed if the plug is half connected. Setting aside the fuse the socket is safer than prevented European

The fuse is there to melt before the wire. My bedside lamp has a 1mm (or thinner) wire. If it faulted out and drew 10a the RCD won’t blow, but the wire will melt. Not immediately, but after a while. The 3A fuse will melt long before the wir

No monetisation. Thats what makes everything shit. You didn’t have cookie banners because you didn’t have cookies, because there is no need for most websites to have cookies.

The original idea behind a protocol which did updates as much as reads was later realised as Wikipedia and similar sites.

So you’re saying democracy doesn’t work?

Just like someone walking into a bank with a shotgun can politely ask for money?

But corporate censorship by companies larger and more powerful than most countries with no democratic accountability is ok?

Cloudflare is the outfit which offers protection, however they are failing to protect their customers.

Spanish citizens have control over eh Spanish government. If this is a concern they can of course change the law. Yes democracy is hard, you have to convince the country it’s important. European citizens have less control if they aren’t Spa

Posting it on Facebook is the key. It’s normal behaviour in the curtain twitching communities yet is against data protection laws.
