I think it's more likely that the internet will change to serve those needs better, and we'll get better at using it.

If they viewed driving drunk as an essential religious freedom, we would rightly punish them for endangering the lives of others. Having an unvaccinated child in public is endangering the lives of others and should be treated as such.

It's a statistical significance test not a mean. You expect statistical significance to go up over time. Unless the effect size is zero, it doesn't have an asymptote.

I mostly see upsides. Instead of uncertainty about random trivia, the conversation can be based on certainty about amazing trivia. Did you know that early South-Americans used the shells of giant turtle-like mammals as houses? Isn't th

I'm of two minds about this. I like supporting new ideas, but I've found that the quickest way to build the confidence of a new engineer is for them to have something succeed. So I do think there's a balance that has to be st

For me that's the most frustrating thing about the Westernization of the world. Your own culture is always invisible to you. You can only see it in contrast to something else. If everything becomes the same, then we lose the ability to

The app is unbearably slow. I still use it, but it's unnecessarily frustrating. I'd attribute the decline in usage to it taking half a minute to refresh.

To do this effectively, you need to track clicks. Right now, the primary thing that causes something to succeed on reddit is the rate of upvotes. Anything that takes time to upvote will be less likely to succeed, because it will receive its

Unless you have an infinite regress on priors for your priors, and uncomputable Komolgorov penalties on the structure of your model, I think you need a test set. (This means you need a test set.)

Lessig has in the past advocated for a variety of solutions that don't involve restricting speech, or organization. One option is to give each voter a $50 voucher that they can give to whatever political organization they wish. This re
