This is a very naive approach for a number of reasons: 1). You're only sampling a tiny fraction of the space of possibilities. The example using two dice having 36 outcomes makes it seem like you're in a very well behaved world. B

It means anyone who is in charge of a society where you need to work 18 hours a day to afford to eat bugs is not protected by the social contract. If enough of those people are killed the rest of them will get the memo that they'll liv

Having two large user bases using different engines meant that standards mattered. When 85% of people use the same browser stack we're back in the bad old days of IE6.

And interesting problems. I'm taking two years to work on a moonshot startup because the problem is interesting and I'm one of the dumber people in the zoom. I took a pay cut of 50% on paper and closer 80% when you price the stock

I can't help but think we'd be better off using tree navigation operators and gender as types. Li(ft), do(wn), si(deways), like lisp's car, cdr, caaadr, etc.. And adding m(ale) and fe(male) at the end of the word as types. E.

The problem with discord isn't that it's closed, it's that you don't own your own data. The difference between open and closed is meaningless for the cloud. Give me the raw storage used by any piece of software and I can

Is there an easy copy pasta on exactly how bad the original judgment was? Because there really ought to be one whenever someone posts about fire in a theatre.

You need to understand that the people who are saying we must ban misinformation are the party apparatchiks, trying to argue in good faith with them is pointless. The only reason to engage is to show the silent majority that they aren'

The irony burns: people saying that anti-anti-vaxxers are a cult hell bent on controlling the lives of everyone regardless of what health advice is. Top comment complaining they haven't been banned fast enough for that heresy.
