We’re absolutely already at war. Our institutions are being used against us. However, we are resilient. Anecdotally, I admit to falling for Russian disinfo in the past. Mea culpa. Now I’m a lot more wary and open eyed about how this stuff i

Bitcoin doesn’t “solve” what is essentially a human problem. No amount of encryption and obfuscation will stop a $5 wrench.

That democracy was dead before it started. A democracy cannot survive without broad agreement in the value of the individual. That is a failure mode of democracy that can be brought about via poor civics education. This is why universal pub

Your hypothesis is it’s because of government regulations. I doubt it. It probably has a lot more to do with the smart device in their pocket. Sex is a form of entertainment and all forms of entertainment are struggling for our attention. A

>So is being a jerk. Want to criminalize it? The history of laws passing in democracies is largely that of jerks getting told they can't do some jerky thing anymore. A semi-recent example would be sexual harassment. It used to just

This may be pedantic, but the author did not present the First Amendment as an alternative, and in fact excoriated America as an authoritarian state no better than China.

Like a child tattling on daddy for beating her? There was a time when stuff like that was “in the family” and not society’s business.

The piece breathlessly describes the West as literally Stalinism. Is anyone being arrested in the middle of the night on trumped up charges? Or are democracies passing laws making it harder for bigots to openly be bigots, and giving them du

I just wanted to make a punny joke. “Nyan desu ka?” is a play on “Nani desu ka?” which basically means “what?”. And nyan is the Japanese word for a cat’s meow.

Good for Germany. More economic pain to come Russia’s way if they continue to be an aggressor. I think this aggression has exceeded Putin’s worst case cost calculations already. NATO was supposed to fracture under the pressure. Instead Bide

> Overall it will be much more expensive for Europe than for Russia. Markets disagree here. The ruble tumbled as well as the main Russian index, 500% more than the USA/Europe did. Russia has a lot to lose.

Isn’t there a ton of drift, though? Yes, spelling in Japanese is easier than English, but listening and speaking exercises seem just as important if not more important than they are for English. Otherwise you’ll sound like a cat got your to

Democracies allow for the dispersion of unlawful protests. They also crush insurrections, that isn’t limited to authoritarian regimes. The point of civil disobedience isn’t to avoid jail, it’s to show you believe so strongly in your cause

At this level of accuracy, I wonder if there are effects even the researchers aren't aware of that could cause drift. Or maybe it's best to say they're that accurate under certain assumptions. I would expect a cosmic ray or a

That’s not a zero-click vulnerability though. I didn’t read the entire pdf but 2 of the first 4 steps involve active user participation and assistance (install exploit app 1 and exploit app 2). I think regardless, you’re right, we will stil

I think the question and answer arcs are about 1 million words each, putting the total closer to 2 million words. But once it was finished I wanted more. For myself the biggest problem was the very long peaceful intro in episode 1. It’s a l

Umineko: When They Cry has a great deconstruction of the locked-room trope. It’s a very long story (5 gigabytes of voiced lines!), but a hugely entertaining deconstruction for any fan of the detective/mystery genre. One of the best mys
