Not to mention that the majority of 'big' ideas are published simultaneously by multiple people at different locations. Big name scientists are usually the ones happy with publishing a half baked idea instead of being universally

How are any of those things bad? You need to look after your interests first. Your anecdotes do that. It's not your job to make sure everyone has a "fair" life. You job is to make sure you get as much as you can. That's

And ISPs were not common carriers until they were. It was only meant for the layer underneath them: telcos. The world changes and we should not be stuck with the technology of the 80s until the end of time.

There are at least three levels of indirection between memory and registers and there is no language that allows you to access that directly. It lets you see more of the stack but not all of it. Before I coded in assembly for example I had

They don't transform memory, they load memory into registers, transform the registers and (maybe) store the registers values back into the memory. The difference is profound and until you code in assembly you have no idea why (or that)

That's C with pointers. Assembly without registers is absolutely pointless since the only thing that matters in any flavor of assembly is how to get data into registers when you need it and then remove it before you override it.

And yet everyone downloaded the client for facebook on their mobile. This isn't the 00s, people don't expect the browser to the the only thing they use to connect to the world any more.

Nothing if you encrypt it. So do we ban the internet or encryption?

I can pay for it by running a local node. Aether works that way. It is missing the anonymity OP wants but everything else is there.

Gnome is notoriously terrible for not accepting patches outside of redhat employees. I tried adding a patch to gnome in the 00s and the number of hoops they expected me to jump through along with the tone made me never install their de agai

You will find that the people who were on the unsavoury bbs are the people who are against censorship today. Out of the half dozen people I know from that period in my life (2000-2006) not one has had a kind thing to say about facebook, goo

The people got too much of a voice and the powers that be are now reigning that back. Decentralization, encryption and anonymity is the only way to deal with this. Aether is a good first draft: multi part app with a back end that can live o

Facebook? No. Reddit? No central moderation beyond court orders. They were a lot better when they let each community decide their own standards pre-2017.

The idea of a protected class is a fascist one. A citizen is a citizen is a citizen. Everyone has the same rights and protections. How the same people who complained about apartheid can then reinvent it in under 20 years is beyond me.

Do you think the East India company should have been able to arrest and murder who ever it wanted because it wasn't the state? Power is power and it needs to be held accountable. HN censorship doesn't matter because it's a ti

So you're saying that as long as you say the right words you can be as objectively racist as you want? Like the current VP who did as much as she could to ruin the lives of as many blacks as humanly possible?
