That's why I was asking for a rationale. The devil is in the details. Otherwise motorcycling will be next, alcohol, excessive gaming, etc. etc.

Ban it on which grounds? I have never in my life placed a sport bet, nor a polymarket bet. It strikes me as one of the dumbest things to do with your money and time. But a lot of people seem to genuinely enjoy it. Gambling is part of human

It's the same administration that stated that they sent a hospital ship to a country with public healthcare to take care of the sick people there. Boy, I will miss this administration for their sense of humor and ingenuity. They always

If I understand gp correctly, the web of trust comes after finding these human nodes, and will not help you in the process.

Also worth reading, Donald Kagan's [1] "The Trial of Socrates, by I.F. Stone" [2] that sets the context of this context. TL;DR Stone's story is not very strong. [1] eminent historian of ancient Greece, https:/&#x2

How did you make that happen? I use swipe keyboard in iPhone. I turned off all "autocorrect" features they offer. Still their random generator keeps replacing perfectly fine words _and the words before them_ with random crap that

Bob Smeenk helped me personally a lot. But I guess it depends a lot on your background, experience and goals.

I switched 25 years ago. Still, every computer I buy comes with Microsoft tax and their OS preinstalled. In all these years I always left a small Windows partition, in case I need it. Never booted it.

I enjoyed this article and think it's good advice, and I also think that the punchline (title + last sentence) is wrong. Not that it makes a big difference, I just treasure texts more that I feel the author thought through to the last

Stock buying as a political or ethical statement is not much of a thing. For one the stocks will still be bought by persons with less strung opinions, and secondly it does not lend itself well to virtue signaling.

As is the sample in this article. You will surely find as many physicists saying earth is flat, mathematicians who hold that Cantor was wrong, and medical doctors that tell you vaccination against measles is overall worse than not.

I have also a hard time understanding how AGI will magically appear. LLMs have their name for a reason: they model human language (output given an input) from human text (and other artifacts). And now the idea seems to be that when we do mo

I do have a bit of experience with managing WAFs for large online gaming providers and I can tell you it's not a solved problem. Netflix would also love to hear how I guess. Even if you somehow manage to enumerate the Nordvpn IPs - a t

After Wisconsin finds out how to reliably filter vpn, they can then teach Netflix and Akamai how to do it. Last time I checked modestly reliable geoblocking existed, and completely unreliable vpn blocking. A friend told me that when he come

But why would we care what Nietzsche would think and for whom he wrote? That idea seems to rest on a very narrow and philosophically contested understanding of the nature of the work of an author. Eco, to take one of the more uncontroversia

I'm with you on this. But asked for reasons I can only point to the social nature of their societies, where love and anger make sense, or of their hurt-behavior. I also find it very hard to believe that everything else is slow evolutio
