Sounds like a great time to consider the differences between positive and negative liberty. Negative liberty: no one can get in my way of doing whatever I want! Google has the right to rootkit my life and I have the right to ignore it and w

Wow, thanks for the info. I didn't know it was arbitrary scheduling. Seems like given the circumstances you'd hope they would just setup a meeting tomorrow.

The full data was just released like last week? There hasn’t been time to fully review it which may be the point. The US set a meeting date of 12/10 to decide on EUA so scientists had time to review the data.

I think ThrowawayR2's comment really makes yours seem a bit ridiculous

Where did you get that info? I didn’t read it in the release. That’s not good though... really could but a kink in establishing herd immunity until everyone is actually vaccinated.

He ran it to the point of throttling and it slowed down less than the gains, about 25% slower than fastest speeds. Also brought up the very good point that if you compile (and do other tasks) fast enough, you don't actually need to thr

Oh cool, that's way worse than I thought it'd be in 2015. No doubt it's gotten way worse since then.

This is the USA's information[1], it's interesting to see the number of account requests increased from ~5k to almost ~8k accounts, and this is for 2019. Given the mass protects and how much phone live streaming was involved NEXT

Dang, I was actually checking The Verge for a story but didn't see it, perhaps it was mostly below headline stories?

It's just weird none of the high profile tech sites or social media I followed mentioned this outage? I really hoped for more of a noticeable backlash for a high possibility of change.

If you look on the order page they're all described the same but the Air has different option on the GPU side of the chip, 7 vs 8 cores. It sounds like that is possibly the only binning they did, where one GPU core is disabled? Perhaps

There's lots of reason it hasn't taken off like some hoped (accuracy, social aspects, privacy) but it's not faster unless you have no other option for input. If I have a computer, typing is faster, if I have a phone, which

Original comment was pretty threadbare, just “wealth taxes wouldn’t affect me but I don’t want them”. It’s worth knowing why they think that, especially if it’s getting upvoted so much. We have to be able to ask these questions and assume t

Isn't that just another myth peddled by wealthy groups? This was a pretty good study and didn't find that effect[1]. Just on the face of it, sure if you're wealthier you have greater ability to move but that also means you pr

Any chance your opinion was formed based on news/studies funded by wealthy individuals?

What harm could someone do with a fake account, also doesn't FB go through creepy lengths to verify your identity? I'm more paranoid about FB hoovering all my personal information by proxy of having an account and friends tagging

I really wonder why anyone advocates "not logging in" and if it's ever in good faith? Something always drags you back and it's just a quick step to get sucked in again. I tried to use it less and it just never worked, FB

Well, when you're a big enough company that you can have extensive lobbying efforts and have connections to the congresspeople who would over see you (Schumer's daughter works at Facebook for example) it might get hard to do anyth

I actually really like Noam, I could have been a bit more general in that we very well might not advance scientifically.

We definitely have a unique ability to change our world but whether that's an effective "ruling of the world" and "smart" is really debatable. While that may sound be glib "judging them by their results" i

I mean sure in a society where no one holds anyone accountable that would happen. That’s not what anyone is actually advocating for.

I mean, did they rob peasants or the lords of the land with their amassed stolen wealth...? A community can decide to cast someone out, reprimand them, imprison them, etc. The whole idea of restorative justice can actually exist when a comm

I mean, do you like that those people get off now if they’re powerful? Or if a cop decides to do that either nothing happens or they get let go with a million dollar pension? At least in a flat society you’d have an equal say to advocate fo

I find it hard to believe you've talked to any real anarchists, or at least listened to them. People like Noam Chomsky deal with that question extremely head on. Below is what I said on another comment... > Absolutely no form of go

Well, if you have an area of high inequality suppressed by an outside force I'm sure some "bad" groups could form because they want to challenge those outside forces. If you have an example of a mafia formed in a stable area

Eh, my comment is people do conflate and it helps reinforce selfish world views. Have you read the article I linked? If you haven't read it then I don't think this is really a productive conversation and my point stands about how
