Check out Thor Heyerdahl and his Kon Tiki expedition. I believe that his theory was about religions and this pacific drift phenomena. There’s a very cool museum outside of Oslo. I think that their findings have eventually been proven less m

I think it’s hilarious that the head of the British colony found 3 random Japanese people (2 of which were not even 18) and sent them to England to attempt to use them as trade diplomats

I did not know that Polish was spoken more in Ireland than Irish, and I still don’t know it. Also Anglo Saxon is probably the whitest descriptor imaginable. The fact that the differences are minute to you means you probably don’t have the

Probably an aesthetic decision, or the overhead of changing the site?

Basic attention token sounds like this. Would be super cool if you could just drop a webassembly component onto your site and it could run this exchange for you, maybe this is how it works

I haven’t thought about it enough, but the other comments talk about credit card fees. And then browsing the internet becomes like a utility. Hopefully the amount you net from (mining - cost of browsing) offsets the extra power usage cost

An idea I had recently that relates to this - sites use some of your compute power to mine crypto in your browser and credit your wallet some rate, other sites like news sites draw from your wallet when you browse

If the content lingers on the site and people interact with it consistently positively maybe that would be a good indicator of quality content.

I agree with the other comment about how this incentivizes just being a good content picker. To simulate and get the efficiencies of the stock market, I think you need a mechanism that is analogous to how a profitable company pays out divid

Great rant, I liked how completely irrelevant it was

Here’s a cool rust crate that does color quantization and dithering at the same time. Ie picking the palette to use and dithering the picture with that palette as an evolving context. https://github.com/okaneco/rscolorq

Right, but if the conversation is about how this is going to change Broadway or anything, running just as fast means nothing changes (the case if you have to emulate)

Well if it’s just as fast, what is there to be excited about?

Seconding Capitol Reef, what a unique place, if a bit hard to get to.

Ah I see.... for an article about a covert investigation it sure assumes intimate knowledge of the covert investigation

Confused about “Hi it’s CNN here, would you like to tell us about the attempted murder you were part of?” Then only realizing for the last contact that that approach may not work.

The first sentence rubs me the wrong way. The claim that you wouldn’t expect autism to be coupled with invention because it is a disability only makes sense because of the semantics of labeling autism necessarily a disability. Not to mentio

Interesting that apple is increasing its stake in privacy. On all their billboards and advertisements of course they like to present it as a boon to the customer. More importantly, I think it’s a negative for personal data hungry competitor

I mean you could argue that LAWyers literally exist because of law. Or at least perpetuated by the other two options which are perpetuated by law.

You’re right, people forget courts are the singular arbiters of truth. Discussion is unnecessary

I’m with you, I’m simply stating the upside. My further point was that it is already treated somewhat case by case by the selection of antitrust cases to pursue.
148.
by ksm1717 6y ago
I guess that’s the value of evaluating on a case by case basis. Depends on what you define as a market worth pursuing antitrust issues for. I would also argue this informally happens when people start to talk about antitrust as it’s usually

Check out Dukes of the Stratosphere. It’s an alter ego of XTC, a British alt pop band from the 80s, making classic/psychedelic rock. Some of XTCs other work is great too, especially Skylarking.
