i basically disagree with the point that the phone is more important than the personal computer. The phone you have eveywhere, yes, but it is a worse experience, and the main thing keeping them "dominant" is the business interest

There is no presumption of innocence because it is not a person being charged with a crime. It is a corporation. More than that, it is a corporation that cannot be audited because it lives in a state hostile to US interests. As a person, yo

Yes, but the point is to convince the parent comment that it should not be protected speech.

China blocks all sorts of apps, what the fuck are you talking about?

If the chinese government asks you to spy on your neighbors, I would hope your "right to do so" is not protected by the first amendment.

The rest of the world, which for simplicity's sake we'll call the EU and china, have fairly powerful protections in place. EU law applies to companies operating in the EU, and China effectively bans all foreign apps. If Chinese bu

preventing the mass exfiltration of american data seems like something that the government has absolute authority over. If Tiktok cannot prove that they are not doing that, then this is no different from the health department shutting down

i think this is a simple consequence of euler characteristic, and the property that any addition cut intersects each of the others at most once. You can set up a sinple equation that gives you an upper bound and a simple configuration which

What a refreshing fucking answer. The union that represents me is WAY too focused on DEI. The cynical part of me assumes that this is corruption.

2 is an incredibly stupid system. Means tested welfare incentivizes people to meet the criteria of the welfare system. Welfare should just be a negative tax bracket. People mostly don't cheat on their taxes.

I'm pretty sure the subtext here is that thinking slower means thinking higher quality thoughts. I'm pretty skeptical of this. In fact, I'd wager that what the author is actually doing is not revealing his thoughts quickly. T

Something is missing, I feel like. The basic idea is sound, but it's painful to both start and end a game, and winning isn't very satisfying. One of wordle's biggest flaws is "the opening". If you're going to h

What? I think you have the wrong kind of standardized test in mind. Bad standardized tests written by politicians are easy to prepare for. Often by design, since they are supposed to measure "what you have learned", rather than ho

The thing that set the whole JK rowling controversy off was the idea that using the phrase "people who menstruate" was an acceptable way to refer to women. If you are commenting in a thread about the Rowling controversy, it is dis

I think you will find that hyperfixation on calling people by the "correct term" for their race is also insane, but less insane, which is why I described the line as blurry. The benefit of changing the terms by which we express ou

Do you really find language like "chest feeding" to be a non-degrading way of talking about women? I can't imagine successfully defending that language to anyone, say 10 years ago. I think you just missed the point where it b

Nothing except data benefits from citation. A citation in an argument means that you do not wish to defend the position.

Universal quantum computing is still gated behind a technology known as a "magic state". Maintaining coherence is but one technical challenge to the implementation of a quantum computer, and while we have not solved it, I think
