When I was young, you could steal a TV, or a VHS or CD or DVD collection, or a phone or (a little later) a GPS or media unit in a car or books. Now almost everything can be remotely disabled, and nobody really owns anything anyway, they jus

Actually in terms of Orwellian nightmares, normalizing mask wearing in public is an incredibly significant blow you can strike against the surveillance state.

Sure, there're a lot of factors that can affect how disease spreads, like demographics, genetics, climate, health system, sociability, temperature, cafe culture, saunas, wfh incidence, international travel, travel links, tourism... I&#

It really depends who you're comparing with. If you're comparing with high population countries with lots of neighbors / travel links, then they did great. If you're comparing with literally any of their neighbors, then

It's so weird to see people still claiming this. Sweden has relatively few neighbors, but compare it with any of them, and it looks bad https://imgur.com/a/BlaU2SX Yes, Sweden did well compared to the EU average,

In a world where inherited wealth isn't a thing, house prices and politics and enterprise are very different. It's hard to really know if your concerns would be meaningful in such a world or not. Inherited wealth is unearned weal

Unlike other cryptocurrencies, it'd be quite surprising if bitcoin ever went entirely to zero because at a minimum it has historical interest. I do hope that people will gradually realize that other more modern cryptocurrencies meet an

Yeah, a webcam is generally for people on the other side of the video call, not for yourself.

This looks really great, with some good choices for my kind of use - 3:2 screen, 1080 webcam, better than normal travel on the keys, and being able to easily upgrade memory and storage is a big deal. The reviews seem to be finding concerns

Send me an email at me@kybernetikos.com. I can't promise any of them will be useful to you, but you can have a look and see if anything appeals :-)

There was no assumption that other minds work like mine in this respect. The point I evidently failed to get across was that there are lots of ideas around and you don't need to generate them yourself . People who like generating idea

Ideas are not hard to find, even if you don't feel like you have them yourself there are loads of people pursuing side projects who would love help from someone skilled like yourself. I have pages of side project ideas I'd like t

This sounds an awful lot like prototype inheritance. Turns out people don't seem to like it - it's essentially vestigal in javascript these days, most people seem to use the class system built on top of it and that was true even

> A handheld device would be even better. Yeah, I've got a box full of usb cables, and pretty much no clue which ones support what, and not much of an idea how I would quickly find out for any particular cable what it supports.

I'd be surprised if that was the legal view. If I take a picture of someone next to the Mona Lisa and then crop the Mona Lisa out of it, that doesn't make the picture of the person a derivative work of the Mona Lisa.

It doesn't look like it follows links though, so it's much more of an alternative to "Save As -> mhtml" than to HTTrack.

Are there any software, hardware or cloud providers currently existing that you would trust to run your consciousness?

There's always pragmatism though - it's possible to say that your end state involves no workers being alienated from their labour, but to allow it for some large number of years on the basis that it will help you get to a good ver

That logo is awfully close to discords. Not only that there are multiple mentions of discord throughout the interface. It looks like this is a fork of some original discord code.

That's different, that's because you trust the insurance. If you had insurance you trusted for the new cool crypto project, you might feel differently.

These topics are orthogonal to the technology. It's perfectly possible to create tokens using smart contracts on the ethereum blockchain that have keys that can reverse transactions. I deployed a simple one to a testnet a while back

I believe that in some countries the equivalent to a Roth is limited to exchange traded companies and relatively low risk funds and bonds. If the intention is for normal people to save for retirement this makes sense to me.

Maybe. In most of the US aren't they moving to computerised counting even of the simple ballots currently in use?

The Condorcet methods do not require software to count up - you can easily replicate the results by hand on paper, it's just that there's such a lot to do it'll probably take you a while. In practice, you're going to wa
