Anyone with an interest in language and its function in understanding the world, should check out late Wittgenstein. Specifically Philosophical Investigations . Probably my favourite work of Western Philosophy.

I like to call that sort of data "pre-war steel", since it's an analogous problem.

After I replied to you I asked a European national who I know if they had to submit anything. They did not, and only found out that it's part of the process by talking to American expats. So apparently this is not common knowledge in t

You need a clean background to move to another country if you're not a European. I specifically had to submit a Canadian RCMP fingerprint based background check when I moved to Iceland. EU nationals have it much easier, since the reloc

Then the question is who owns the economically efficient robots. I don't expect that to be democratic.

Turning down advice on the principal that someone is "only 30" is going to leave you missing out on lots of good advice as well. People, regardless of age, may have insights that you lack. Throwing it out wholesale is as foolish a

I think the major difference is a DAO is not a corporation, by design. So the legislation around them is still in catch-up mode. In other words, yes, because the entire framework is different.

Not really, I saw it as technology that was "new and trendy" rebranding a very old and exploitive employment paradigm. "You can work at a DAO and be paid on the blockchain" "You can work at a company and be paid in

I have and am. I got the PTSD diagnosed when I was trying to get the ADHD one done. And most of the sorting things out is directly related to the PTSD aspect, rather than ADHD.

Eyjafjallajökull was a special case, it was not an oceanic blast, but a blast under a glacier. Fjallajökull means "glacier mountain". The blast flash-melted several tones of ice, which caused the lava to cool rapidly forming the a

There's a non-zero risk of it going off in the ocean, which could cause ash fallout, depending on the magnitude of the blast. Property and infrastructure damage is not the only outcome here. We could end up with ash fallout and flight

Trust can exist while recognizing limitations. In fact, I would say understanding limitations is integral to trust. And limitations is why we do code review.
