Did you consider charging people for signing up and posts they made? It turns out that when people have to pay for extra posts past the first three a day they get a lot more circumspect in what they say. I set up a mailing list with that fe

There's also the fact that for a small minority of people spending $200 on photos is basically nothing. I like my money too much to part with it, but realistically if I were to value my time rationally paying $100 for takeout would be

>That they will be emboldened is a minor tertiary effect compared to the massive primary damage of conspiracy theories. Conspiracy theories like the Earth orbiting the sun. No, a society that is based on keeping people ignorant is a soci

You need to make a case to rest it first. Notice that I never said the right isn't doing the same thing. But that would require being able to think, something the left and right brain worms stop their victims from doing. I hope you get

200k? I know people on 600k total comp who have been stuck in a one bedroom flat for 4 years because of how many strings the money comes attached with.

A family of 4 is low income on $110k. SF and but-fuck-nowhere West Virginia are not places to compare on cost of living.

If people were taught how to reason we would have a revolution overnight when they divided their expected lifetime earnings by the average 1 second increase of Jeff Bazos's net worth.

Just do what everyone else does and write your own language on top of it to solve your problem.

After the hell years of Bush II I thought that a government that supported science would be by definition a better one. Instead we got a government under Obama that _said_ it supported science and ignored anything it didn't like. It to

Interesting take on the fact that there are basically no scientific facts for people who claim to support them. A list of questions that should have been answered before any response was put in place. What is the death rate per infection. W

At this point forking the browser and the foundation is the only sane solution. The charter should be: we support the browser for dorks first and always, and work on technical problems for dorks second. Turns out that I was right saying tha

I have used emacs with make for this purpose. It works, but the main issue is white space. Any language that has significant white space is liable to break in org mode, and a ton of devops tools are python based, or python like. I've b

Having talked to a lot of old folks who worked there the tax breaks were a huge incentive too. Lowering the corporate tax rate since the 60s has meant that corporations no longer needed to invest in R&D, just pay accountants instead.

It's worse than nothing. Even the people who supposedly take this seriously don't understand how much trouble we are in. When I've talk to people who 'believe' in climate change they still think that it's the i

That assumes that your browser supports ftp, which isn't the case in Firefox. If you're going to support ftp you might as well support generic URIs. URI := scheme:[//authority]path[?query][#fragment] Not sure what arcs s

Linus is still able to run the first ./a.out he built on pre-0.1 Linux. I can build a docker file from 5 years ago because all the links are dead.

No, the reproducibility crisis is that when 10 people write the same library you all get different results. This is just complaining that science is too hard because you can't be bother to replicate an experiment.

Have you tried running a specific Cuda version from 10 years ago? Because I have and I pity anyone who tries and builds a kernel that can run it.

You can run the script multiple times and get a statistical representation of what the results should be. That's the point of science. This reminds me of being in gradschool and the comp-sci people complaining that we don't get bi
