The other big problem is that there are important issues that neither side covers, except that is, until it is too late.

I know that it's being done, but I don't know if it's necessary. I frequently find good old unstyled HTML pages from the 90's internet (the ones with Prev/Next/Up links, like this: https://tldp.org&#

I started using Firefox about two years ago. The only time I ever have to launch Chrome now is to specifically test Chrome compatibility. Other than that, I've never missed Chrome.

That's great! The wikidata UI could be more compact though.

Another idea for Wikipedia 2.0 is make the basic unit a "statement" rather than an "article". When Google Knol came out and called a Knol a unit of knowledge, I was excited that this was what they were going for, but sad

I've always considered "pattern recognition for the purpose of prediction" a core function of the human brain that precedes language, rationality or any form of logic. So it feels counter-intuitive to me to label this meta-ra

Somehow, serif fonts look wrong on a dark background. Could it be my association of dark backgrounds with terminals?

Tying property rights to declared wealth only, is how I envision solving this problem as well. The proposal may have flaws, but I suspect it's still better than what we have now.

Good. I didn't think such a global minimum was politically possible. There was recently an article on HN where the author claimed that high tax rates don't impact high net worth individuals because they have already made their mon

Not all the observations are explainable. However, if you take away one observation -- the claims about high-g acceleration and supersonic flight -- the following seems to fit: battery powered drones with regular (possibly quad) rotors, sea

Not the best example, but tax code. Rather than a flat % tax that all corporate entities must adhere to, there are thousands of pages of tax code, with hundreds of ways to 'optimize' hidden within them. A corporation would conside

It's my comment he's responding to, and even though I may not agree with his formulation, I'm sensing he has a point. What if this is a bias that we've acquired while growing up? Perhaps we've conflated consciousnes

Interesting! So basically: the basic unit of consciousness (whatever you may call it) is an intrinsic property of matter (or energy or particles?) and the more complex information systems matter forms, a more detailed model of the physical

Interesting. Last year I moved from a large corporation with well defined policies to a startup. The options you mentioned are fortunately very much on the table for me. If someone's struggling with something at home for example, I cou

I don't believe the author was presenting a moralist argument, but rather one interpretation of observations.

The problem of consciousness (or the quality of something being able to experience itself and things around it), may never be solved. Even if the reductionist approach reveals some fundamental field or particle that gives rise to consciou
