So, you're calling for a sort of "Ministry of Truth" aren't you.

That's a hilariously bad take.

People aren't perfect, they make mistakes. The difference is that a well off person can afford to correct that mistake by paying the fine, while a poor person is given an incentive to not do so because they can't afford it.

Talk about twisting the argument. The Manhattan project was in competition with the Soviets and the Nazis, it was less a result of some unified front of all the smartest scientists in the world, and more of a result of "if we don'

I think one often overlooked alternative is riot.im, basically discord/slack but with the ability to host custom servers and an emphasis on security.

It isn't about them being better in the sense of faster than a classical computer, but rather scaling. Quantum computing is attractive because we expect that some operations scale much better with size on one compared to classical comp

That's a tad too nihilistic I think? Death is inevitable for even the most powerful person in the world, yet everyone still does their best and some are immortalized through their achievements. Gilgamesh's attitude is worth at lea

It isn't the hardware developers' job to make you design good infrastructure.

Hawking and other successful people would also handily qualify for visas based on achievements.

Even if it were safer, we do genuinely need to draw a line between privacy and safety.

Yep, however that way they'd atleast have a better chance of reducing the impact the drama is gonna have on blizzcon.

probably because we have precedent of social media companies not bothering with that level of support/intentionally avoiding having to provide proper support. There's no reason to assume Facebook will change that either.

You do however build software. Even with DNA, if you manually assemble a sequence, is it not something you've built? DNA imo is special not because of being something you discover, but because it's an integral part of everyone and

That's a sign of incompleteness, not of incorrectness.

I think you're trusting the government too much. Even if they aren't exactly making a profit, how much of that money is just being wasted due to poor planning and/or corruption?

That kinda ruins the main utility of the system for most people. People aren't switching service providers often or SIM sizes at all these days (the latter especially with larger SIMs just being the same nanoSIM but with an adapter of

Ah yes, you're right. That's a pretty big typo on my side. The app I'm using doesn't seem to let me edit though.

I'm not exactly versed in the subject, but going off of a recent class on wireless transmissions, perhaps they instead use lots of small transmitters/receivers along the hull and rely on post processing to piece that together.

On the contrary, do you really feel okay peddling this obvious attempt at a hit piece relying on guilt by association as evidence that all these other rich people were involved in some manner? No one's saying that what Epstein did wasn

by hgoel 7y ago
Exactly my thoughts. It's obvious that everyone's coming up with excuses to avoid this guilt by association trash. Unless and until there's evidence that these people were indeed involved in the trafficking and exploitation d

The ruling doesn't seem to say that they can't throttle access atleast.

The thing was on its way to the Moon already by that time. The mission has been a long time making, it's pretty disrespectful to the effort of all the scientists to limit it to just distraction from Kashmir. Especially since it isn&#x2

And the solution to not having enough qualified minority candidates is to increase their level of qualification.

by hgoel 7y ago
Isn't explicitly choosing based on their race also making the same assumptions? That there aren't enough minority candidates, and thus they need to explicitly force more of them in? After all, why would there be any bias if select

So people should lose their livelihoods for having controversial views that the elites in big cities don't like? It isn't even as if his opinion was interfering with his professional responsibilities. Same-sex marriage was a very

A lack of diversity isn't in and of itself a sign of a lack of meritocracy, and nor is simply increasing diversity a sign of meritocracy. It's misguided to think that by manually ensuring diversity (eg. By hiring someone for simpl
