This seems to go beyond merely keeping tabs on extremists; this looks like direct funding for criminal activities.

Never claimed to be. You claim to have an argument, and I want to know more details. Of course, if you don't have evidence to support your argument...

It's worse than that; Pirsig reminds us that psychiatrists are literally thought police. From this perspective, psychology is a mechanism for justifying psychiatric abuses. After all, if psychology can show that minds exist, that there

Cosmology is the first field which comes to mind; it fits your criteria, but is far harder (as a science) than psychology and far more reliable. Psychologists can't define "mind" and change their entire profession every few d

Could you show your homework? In particular, how many is "most", and which manufacturers and chip lines are affected?

I have bad news for you, then. Search "white people", "asian people", or "black people" with your search engine of choice, and use syntax like "site:news.ycombinator.com" to limit it to just our commu

Whatever happened to Nathan Fielder's attempt to unionize Uber? Is that still going?

Racism is when people believe falsehoods about genetics and heritability, particularly when they believe that humans form multiple races. It's that simple. We should require sociologists to take an introductory course in molecular biol

I made an account so that I could destabilize the memecomplex which powers this place, replacing opinions and slogans with facts and logic. Eventually, it is my hope that one morning, the rest of y'all will wake up and have a thought l

We can build our own tools. Why buy any software, ever? Certainly, why buy software which is being advertised or marketed? There are business reasons, but not ethical or technical reasons.

"Our civilization, our very way of life, heavily depends on X" does not imply "harvesting resource X is ethical" or "harvesting resource X is sustainable". Your argument is understandable from a bleeding-heart

I didn't claim that all-you-can-eats were free, only that they could stay in business despite apparently operating at a loss. This is precisely because the food is much cheaper than a rationalist or economist would predict it to be; it

Good post from somebody with an overflowing teacup. Haskell's not magic or special; it's Just Another Programming Language, really. Reading their monad tutorial ( https://gist.github.com/cscalfani/b63552922a8de

I strongly recommend that you read "Smart Contracts and Traditional Contract Law, or: The Law of the Vending Machine" by Rohr in 2019, published in a reputable law-review journal [1]. If literally nothing else, it contains the quo

Please, go on; what is the rationale for a project to publish tarballs with the n-word in their URL? I won't dismiss your argument out of hand; we'll inspect its history and evidence together, and we'll come to a consensus. S

Xemacs and ECGS were technical forks. The issue here is whether the n-word should be allowed in tarballs and git configuration. Gotta be honest, I don't have a problem with the "no" argument, and the "yes" argument

It's sad, because smart contracts were originally about something much simpler and without blockchains. A smart contract was just a contract which partially consists of portable executable code. What made it "smart" is that,

Sanity check: You think that the existence of all-you-can-eat restaurants, whose basic balance sheets contradict your assertion that food is not abundant, is classist and promotes slavery?

Sure. Let's ask for something easier, then; let's only have free stuff which is already in abundance. We aren't living on a remote island; we are living in a society which already has lots of extra stuff which could be given

What advantage does this have over a Nix/Guix expression tree, which carries hashes for everything downloaded from the network already?

Sounds like no, you wouldn't. Perhaps you grok that the dangers of glyphosate are real.

Computing an optimal layout for automatically-placed GUI widgets can be NP-complete, by reduction to a knapsack problem. Our profession benefits greatly from a basic knowledge of computational complexity theory.

Every hard science uses statistics, a formal branch of pure maths, in order to justify why its models are decent at predicting real-world phenomena. The proofs usually flow backwards from how you're imagining; statisticians create new

I think that you're after the universal morphisms in a computational category. Curien called them "categorical combinators" and gave a listing in https://core.ac.uk/download/pdf/82017242.pdf

I didn't want a wishy-washy "this says a lot about society" image macro. I wanted a concrete explanation.

Downvoters can't handle the truth: modern police evolved from slave patrols. Modern abuses towards African-Americans evolved from traditional abuses towards slaves. Modern police techniques which attack the protesting public evolved fr

How are you measuring this lost ground? Varnish is still extremely popular, and designs which separate TLS from caching are also still popular.
