Thanks, actually I'm looking for any feedback I can get on this and then make it as open source as possible (while still earning something) so people can index their own content feeds and use it. Right now, yes we're taking the tr

Heya, I'm working on creating a metadata search engine (using transcripts) for YouTube, Spotify, etc. Basically any video/audio content. Everyone always complains about how bad multimedia search tools are, so this is something tha

Your immediate response is to try to attack his credibility? > Many of the people he claims to have converted are still avowed racists and klansmen. Where in the article did you get that? I'm sure some have "relapsed" for

Exactly, Michael Moore was only wrong in that it wasn't just white people that ended up supporting Trump. This is fundamentally a class problem, not a racial thing. There are many reasonable people involved in this, and those are the p

What I'm going to say is controversial (of course), but it's mostly true: Pat King is a poor uneducated white person, and his misguided views are a product of his difficulties in life. Obviously his own morality and ethics play in

If you don't want a stupid tweet to get you kicked out of a decentralized organization, then don't setup the rules to enable that. Effectively, this shows that decentralized governance might actually work. It also shows the danger

Augur or Kleros could be used for the final voting process on a "debate". It'll be interesting, and I wonder how best to promote "the wisdom of the crowd". Never heard of Aragon before, thanks!

I'm working on a Yahoo Answers clone that forces users to enter Oxford style debates revolving around Yes/No questions, and everything is run by a smart contract and stored on IPFS so it's censorship-proof. I'm calling i

Sadge. But I think this is the best bet for sustainable and clean energy, so why not put all the enthusiasm we can into it? A breakthrough is a breakthrough, and that's good news.

No, sorry. That's your opinion, and it doesn't have anything particularly "better" about it than anyone else's. You'll have to engage in explaining why you think other people aren't allowed to have one, an

I have a feeling that what we're seeing is a technological issue. I don't believe that most people in politics understand or know how to use the internet, so to them their tactics make sense: obfuscate and manage information for t

Tolerance is not a weakness, what you're referring to is an inept government and broken society. A strong culture and society has no issue with creating reasonable rules to live by that work for the majority of people. Misinformation i

What bad actors? Since when is "argument" not effective? Who drowns the media in misinformation: normal people, or organizations? Are you calling for an end to argumentation, and instead a resort to force? Are you saying Joe Rogan

I agree with your comment, but disagree about the use of the word "misinformation". That word is clearly a propaganda tool used to suppress dissent, similar to "conspiracy theorist" or "white supremacist". If p

I didn't know about this, actually. Nice! I mean that's as clear-cut as it can get, although media might mean format rather than platform, otherwise all moderation is technically a breach of this right: though I suppose if it&#x27

What are you talking about? If you claim something is dangerous and want it removed, you better have god damn compelling evidence of the "danger". Explain what the danger is, and how it is manifesting. And intentionality is absolu

I've read the articles: none of them explain how this is dangerous, and none of them have a compelling case that Joe Rogan or his guests intentionally lie to their audience. What they do is make arguments against their points, many of

That might be an argument you'd like to take to a proper debate. What we're arguing about is whether having such a debate constitutes "dangerous misinformation".

by prohobo 5y ago
1) Prove it's misleading or incorrect information. Getting a fact wrong in a longform discussion doesn't count, it needs to be intentional. 2) Prove it's dangerous: either for individuals or communities.

Yeah, the answer is to simply not use Windows. I can only see there being an advantage for some game developers to be using it these days. Linux is actually a much better OS for techies: you can make it look nicer, have a better workflow, a

You're grasping at all sorts of straws here. Never said being vaccinated is less effective than not being vaccinated, an absolutely insane takeaway from what I've said. Now the official government data from the UK is bullshit, and

The report you just linked doesn't show the raw numbers of people in the hospital, it shows the proportionate rates, which is exactly what I just addressed. Most people in the hospitals for Covid are vaccinated. And I'm sorry, I

Stop with this shit. It's not true. Most people in the hospitals for Covid are vaccinated. This is not an indictment against the vaccines, they prevent hospitalization, but the sheer number of vaccinated people still means they're
