Are you suggesting that those who build enterprises don't have time for kids? Seems plausible, but is the difference in lifestyle so consistently prevalent as to be stereotypical? Elon has 10!

Presumably the analogy is between an addictive substance (alcohol) and an addictive behavior (overspending on credit). Each can be used responsibly or not.

Saying "banks are shit here because they have zero liability policies" isn't too sensical. Saying "banks are not really shit here because they have zero liability policies" makes decent sense.

I think what you're describing is a subset of sarcasm, or potentially a separate thing that often utilizes sarcasm (significant overlap). A friend of mine will often suffix such statements in speech with "if you know you know&quot

In spoken word, sarcasm in even the cleanest context always has the benefit of delivery paving the way for virtually guaranteed reception. A written indication does look silly when reception succeeds without its help, but guaranteed parit

Now you've got me thinking of a hardware freemium model where you get some freebie IoT device on your home network, and its neural net convinces you to start paying its subscription fee (implemented with blockchain) once you're fe

My take is that it's not about creating new workloads, but about letting the natural increase in other people's workloads run on existing processors instead of driving demand to create new processors. The same logic would apply to

I'm saying they're controlling access via a control that is not authentication, and not secret, it's simply knowledge of the previous chunk. I can see arguments on both sides as to whether such a thing is (or isn't)

I'm not sure about upload specifically, but recent lists of countries sorted by average download speed puts a lot of non-Western countries (in the sense of lack of European influence, etc.) near the top of the list. But your point stan

Interesting. So instead of authorizing the fetching of pieces by way of authentication, they're just saying "you can have another piece if we've been talking since the very first piece". I guess that's a bit of a co

If the rolling cypher they implemented truly exceeds DASH in such a way as to exert control, then I think that would convey intent. If it's substantially DASH alone and DASH requires the equivalent of a rolling cypher just to work, tha

Well, the thing YouTube does (whether you call it an access control or not) does actually have a measurable "effect" on people. It makes those people seek out third-party tools when they don't perceive any other reasonable wa

Very interesting. I feel like any type of digital storage or transmission format (PCM audio formats like CD Audio, packet switched networks like Internet Protocol, etc.) could also be described thusly, given that a typical human can't

I agree. But what is the thing being moved here, in technical (rather than legal) terms?

by hunter2_ 3y ago
Sure, but I'm trying to grok the essence of the technological measure being used by YouTube. I have to imagine that merely offering terms of service doesn't constitute a technological measure, and nor would merely slicing up the r

DMCA anti-circumvention provisions are regarding tools that circumvent effective access controls. I realize that broken encryption is considered an effective access control in this context despite it being broken, but apps like Newpipe aren

And also any apps that make API calls over HTTPS, regardless of webview, right? I believe they cannot use HTTP, only HTTPS. However, I'm unsure whether they can disable certificate verification. Presumably not, for the same reason...

I'm sure Microsoft was familiar with not only windows on buildings, but also other OSes' use of the term "window" as a GUI element (dating back to Xerox Alto in 1973), and called their 1985 product "Windows" an

The concept of hodling fiat could mean cash under the mattress or could mean an interest-bearing account. It's ambiguous.

by hunter2_ 3y ago
Saving more than spending has also been popular advice for fiat, at times. More for medium/long-term personal purposes at the expense of immediate macro purposes, but I think that applies to both systems.

by hunter2_ 3y ago
There might be sufficient overlap between all such concepts that a distinction hardly matters anyway: if the assistant says what's most likely to come next according to a LLM, or if a person says what they think should come next based
