I'm curious, who is on the other side of the debate here? Because I've seen more people argue for a flat earth than a non-evil facebook.

This is yet another bait and switch where a public corporation is presented as a private party. To put it in the melodramatic language of the 18th century: A corporation has no soul to save and no body to punish. It has no natural interes

People who argue that free speech is somehow only applicable to the government do a bait and switch between the first amendment, which is, and freedom of speech, which isn't. Which is why I linked to the moat and bailey argument. The f

1). Notebooks were invented by Mathematica in the 80s. 2). Words have meanings and literate programming is defined extremely well by Knuth in his 1983 paper. This is not what was described there any more than the WWW is Xanadu. 3). That i

Funny how this argument is only put forward for cases in which the author agrees with the censorship. If facebook tomorrow banned all LGBT content I have a feeling "it's a private company" would not be an acceptable defense f

This is not literate programming. Literate programming involves having a meta language that is extended into the target source code through nested macros. The killer feature was the ability to see everywhere a piece of code was used on dead

Because I'm not going to write a few dozen pages of latex in a text comment. If you're interested thrown me $2k over bitcoin and I'll spend the 8 hours it would take to make this rigorous at below my usual rates.

The only thing you need to defend in a game is why it doesn't have laser raptors, because there is no game that doesn't get better with laser raptors.

The Norse are not Aryans. The Aryans were nomadic horse tribes who lived some 3000 years before the game started and were closer to the Mongols than anyone of recent memory.

Funny how its also used in every textbook for people who aren't. This is getting to be apologia on the levels that I'd only seen in history books about why Roman numerals were superior.

Derivatives then are a higher order function that follow it's definition in all cases. You can't exactly apply it's definition as a limit in cases where it's applied to non-fictions.

It is not an issue until you start trying to teach any sort of fix point theorem, at which point the wheels fall off because the notion can't deal with higher order functions at all.

The point is that 2 and (λ (x) 2) are vastly different objects, yet in standard math are treated the same. Also you don't need a symbol type to deal with variables, you just need to allow type variables to be used in standard expressio

I never said Haskell was a good language. Q_0 is a minimally acceptable math notation.

Mathematical notation is terrible. I don't mean this in the usual "we need to invent new symbols to make it clearer" way. I mean it in the way that it has implicit typing that gets coerced constantly. Using Haskell types D ::

Joe Biden wrote the original Patriot act. Lets not pretend that liberalism doesn't come with a jackboot on the neck of the people either.

And 9/11 would have not been stopped by forcing everyone to take their shoes off before getting on the plane. Yet here we are 20 years later still doing it.

That is not Fascism. That is Nazism. Words have meanings beyond "things I don't like".

Mandatory real time tracking of every citizen. Sounds insane? So did the patriot act in the 90s.

I worked as a quant for a power company in Australia. Solar and wind are a great way for power companies to make money and a terrible way to run an industrial society. Running anything but an aluminium smelter off renewables is impossible.

Not to mention that it has destabilized the national Australian grid to the point where a 35C day means that you get rolling blackouts across multiple states. Currently the only way you can be sure you have power on a hot summer day in Aust

Yet somehow the richest man on China hasn't managed to do that. The systems are not equivalent. Trying to say one is better is short sighted and self defeating. The US if it does not deal with monopolies is headed to a worst of all pos
