Yeah and this is clearest when you consider federations. Imagine if you count the US as 50 separate countries, suddenly they are much more climate friendly! That's of course absurd.

They haven't suspended elections, they haven't outlawed protests, they aren't sending dissidents to camps. When these things happen that's when the decline gets hard to reverse.

It's ironic that even when the subject is resistance you are looking for a master to tell you what to do. If you want to be free there must be a choice and for there to be a choice there must alternatives. How *could* we have resis

They should make a 912 number that works exactly like any other number, with all the pros and cons of that. Though I guess then there would be no incentive to fix the special one.

I think you have a misunderstanding of how disk IO happens. The CPU core sends a command to the disk "I want some this and that data", then the CPU core can go do something else while the disk services that request. From what I re

I kinda like the optimistic perspective that humanity emerged preposterously early. Like the age of the universe is a mere ~14 billion years. It's basically nothing imo. Star formation is predicted to keep going for about 100 trillion

As someone who disabled cortana first thing I did and am hesitant about win 11, I do feel like AI on the desktop is an idea whose time has come. I'm not so sure about pushing people into using voice though. But having AI that can analy

My picture, may be wrong, is that not paying your loans is easier to get away with in the US. That you can just not pay and people will sigh and actually give up. While in Sweden people will hound you until they get their money. Consider th

To some extent I agree, but if the modem is off how long latency is acceptable for inbound messages? I suppose a low bandwidth broadcast "user 0x76abc937* has a new message" could work. Devices would filter out broadcasts that don

But he is absolutely right about that. There is in humans a sort of essence. We can't currently fully pin it down, but it is something related to our intelligence, to our feelings, to our consciousness, and to our souls. This is worth

It's better to force the opponent to capture than give him the choice of capturing or doing something else. If your opponent chooses not to capture the rook it's because he has found a move he thinks is even better than taking the

Some emacs-fans really like emacs and will invent any justification for its shortcomings. You are 100% right it has a subpar debugging experience. There were better debuggers 20 years ago than emacs has now. Stallman himself wrote it so i

I think it's mostly something to be aware of and keep in the back of your head. If it's just one voice among many it could even be a benefit, but if it's the dominant voice it could be dangerous.
