Legal checks are a mile-long leash, no matter how strong the cord. This is exchanging freedom for security, since a backdoor like this doesn’t require breaking glass.

They can wiretap, sure, but they can’t practically compel you to give up your book cipher.

Each branch needs to be moving for this to work - even the gutters on a bowling lane require someone to start the ball rolling.

Meanwhile I’ve just purchased a couple PAPRs and twenty-five pounds of pasta. Wish I could live on the cover of Lands’ End.

I’m curious about the email thing too. If she was using the ceo@bright email in the blogpost, I can see that getting filtered before any human read the contents, otherwise it’d be foolish to not give the time of day to a person who fits the

I think the argument here is suffering as the business is questionable, though I wholeheartedly agree that pointing a founder to a blog post and pretending that counts as mentorship is bullshit. > none of the VCs I contacted even tried d

If it is effective and if it is that simple to implement, I’d agree with you. My concern is that this is motivated by the politician’s fallacy.

Thesis needs work. There is a dearth of mass capitulation to lawful orders for sheltering in place or wearing masks, and booing isn’t censorship (and before you argue that it’s another form thereof, tell me again that gentrification isn’t a

Sorry, I was vague on that term. By open-ended, I meant recurring and without a goal; maybe there’s a better descriptive term for it.

I’d encourage you to reconsider the article in context of the fact that CBT can be self-taught with no books or sessions - all of this advice is free, and each tip works independently of the others. I do agree that open-ended talk therapy s

All that talk of the history of orthodontics and surgery and medical approaches were left out... too cheap, I guess: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5800179/

I assume ‘people’ and ‘everyone’ are different groups, but you really ought to be able to measure outcomes of any ‘do the thing’. Sometimes, you have to remind the timid that metrics are a feedback loop - and ensure that you can reverse cou

This CoViD outbreak is the worst on record, you’re right.

Sky is a great example of this as well. The only way to connect with people you know is to scan a QR code, implying you’d need to have been in proximity to link up.

Could you explain what Urbit’s main goals or purposes are? I feel like, for Bitcoin, the intent and outcome might not be perfectly aligned, but I get what it was for and how it is used.

No, this is the central strawman.

Exactly. I don’t consider it unequivocally evil, but it’s still propaganda.

by phnofive 7y ago

I dunno about dumbest, but this guy is proposing spiking the curve without any evidence or even vague correlation of variolation and mortality in Covid-19.
