While no doubt there is a genetic component it would be less precise and more likely just account for a general authoritarian personality. I think this shift is too sudden to be attributable to genetics. The work of Robert Putnam on the dec

Religious authoritarians. Puritans. Theological adherence is a spiral. They have an absolute doctrine. This is what happens when you shift your moral philosophy to doctrinal adherence. Introspection is not needed when you are a perfect adhe

I'd bet PC sales are down because of the lack of GPU's. Mining hurts the rest of the industry because they aren't selling as many high end MOBO's, CPU's, cases, etc etc. Sounds like they need to twist arms to prefer

I do not anticipate changing my opinion that monopolies preference their own services to the detriment of market competition. Numerous court cases have born this out.

I want to like hempwood but the price needs to come down. Hopefully it will as production increases.

Usually 'hardened wood' is just wood where the air has been replaced with epoxy. The problem is epoxy is expensive and not different enough from a pure plastic.

As far as I'm concerned anyone that's working of virtualized GPU is doing the Lord's work.

Do you have any specific knowledge of Intels support for graphics virtualization on ARC GPU's? What are the security implications of LibVF and would it be compatible with the QubesOS security model?

More often X is something the existing authoritarians want so the solution to basically anything immediately jumps to the already proposed and planned X. The event is just the excuse and the details irrelevant.

The enterprise versions of these products have a lot of bugs and gotchas because so few use the feature.

The problem with twitter threads isn't that they're broken up into chunks, it's still relatively easy to read. The problem is what a cancerous, user hostile, and bloated website twitter is that won't even let you open th

In Facebook land some animals are more equal than others and their pseudo government is ineffectual because a secret program pulls all the strings. I'm sure this isn't analogous to the rest of the world.

Insane perhaps from the perspective of a dweller. Some neighborhoods put more emphasis on walkability, not merely from aesthetic consideration but a desire to have walkable local businesses. Of course this is not the case if the extent that

I think this very much reinforces my point. 100% focus on the structure itself (especially interior) and relatively zero on the neighborhood or exterior. In a word, atomized.

Setting aside the fact that stores only sell milk and all get it from the same set of farms which usually have their own trade group, monopoly if you will, why should regulatory capture favor your preference over theirs?

by kfprt 5y ago
It was mostly sarcasm. I just don't like the argument that it's regulatory capture because it's fallacious to blame capture when you refuse to compete. This also ignores the fact that there is competition between existing por
