I wouldn't say that it is a good analogy, since both types of searches in no way change the array they are searching in. While tech products do change lives of their users. Maybe lossless|lossy would be a better analogy?

High IQ in a modern test is about pattern recognition. I haven't seen it pointed out yet, but oversensitive pattern recognition can lead to illusions. I.e. if you didn't sleep for two days, you can start "seeing" weird

Usefulness of proposed metrics aside, I can't wrap my head around proposed use cases there. If you don't require proof of identification for voting then one local voter can vote limitless times. If you do require it, why don'

My main criticism is that wokeness when applied rationally could be a social lubricant. Ban a few words and expressions at work, and suddenly your hiring pool is way bigger. People shouldn't be using words like that at work anyway. The

I recently joined social media again. Turns out the group that shared my interest in my region was here. So I made a new account and joined. And the thing is, I am interested still. But I do miss a lot, because the group is chaotic and re

I cannot stress enough how the whole thing reads as a parody. Like modern Jerome K. Jerome. To be given such slack by your boss where they just allow you to do "whatever whenever", while not doing a lot, and then attribute your su

I disagree on the point that art is propaganda, but I can't point out almost all art contains a propaganda of some kind. Monet's Water Lilies influences common viewers to find a beauty and romanticism in simple nature. Long exposu

It could be true for things that could only be "used" once. But I don't think that it's a valid point at all times. Recently, for example, I've made a little "Linux for dummies" zine, and put it on my she
