Sorry I don't get what exactly happened that caused you such grief? There are (largely) unmodulated forums like 4chan. Do you want everything to be like that?

You will always end up with some self-appointed arbiters. Unless you devote all your time to researching everything deeply.

Yes, monopoly on information is very bad. The other extreme, signal being drowned in noise is...we are finding out now, i guess.

The core issue is that large part of population is actively seeking and spreading disinformation. Don't see how multiple competing filters would improve this.

I would not put it past Google to terminate my account because of me trying such practices.

It did say nothing about having it, too. That is suspicious since mass identity verification of millions of users worldwide is all but simple.

But nobody knows what policies he intends to enact. In fact, he immediately decided to offload all moderation decisions to some "council". https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1586059953311137792 Or if I&

When the new owner immediately fires whole top management, that's much more than mere "change of ownership". It's hostile takeover. By someone who has repeatedly shown very naive approach to freedom of speech.

Why does it matter? Private keys are being compromised or lost under all kinds of circumstances and regardless of the OS.

We can put some thought into how to set up the third parties to be trusted with our keys. Curretly it's very haphazard. And it's not avoidable. Even Phil Zimmerman, inventor of PGP, won't accept PGP encrypted mail because he

The "occupied by ethnic Russians" point is moot by now as Russia thoroughly alienated them or turned their cities to ruins. Yesterday they even had to impose martial law there. If narrative is unbelievable, can you just follow the

Any basis for your assertion please? Binary infected with malicious payload is more likely to be detected by antivirus or by manual checking of the signature/checksum if user cares to. Infected build system? In case of linux distributi

All these build dependencies don't introduce security risk?

If you have to repeatedly modify "predictive" theory to match observation, then it was not predictive in first place. The situation with MOND appears much worse than for example Planck's theory for blackbody radiation. He rev

Astronomers searched for microlensing events from black holes or similar dark objects, but did not see so many.

I think visual cortex did not evolve to process dense symbolic information, with the emphasis on symbolic. Dense diagrams are much more difficult for most people than plain text arranged in lines or in a grid.

There's no substitute for self learning here, sadly. As soon as you want "nonstandard" garden you're on your own, with plenty of trial and error. With that in mind, maybe there's local gardening group?

You really expect people caring for homeless to come with some ready made technically feasible solution? Of course they will do moral appeals and suggest potentially dangerous solutions first. That happens all the time! Getting a response &

There are plenty of countries with weak government that does not do much psyop on the citizens, and where the governance actively hurts itself. But it does not automatically lead to more rights, less restrictions, more power (There is alway

Idk. Here in eastern Europe the biggest online psyop perpetrator is Russia, and mainstream media are constantly telling about it, without any effect. The result is if you ask random ppl in the street about geopolitics, you can get hairy stu

Wanted to try it, proceeded to install it with npm and it was incredibly scary, both the amount of stuff it pulled in and various warnings. No thanks, I'll stay with languages with more self-contained compiler.

How comes the linux desktop client of signal is such a bloated mess, which can't be used standalone but only via phone app?

So you don't want Google to do anything or what is the purpose of all this verbiage? Which moreover, unjustly dismisses whole issue as "marginal benefit to thousands". Being able to keep/recover email address is so much

Electrical circuits were mentioned and yes they are usually designed by drawing AFAIK, even with over 1000 nodes. What's the argument here?

Why not? Feeding it to graphviz is one of the viable avenues of attack.

How do you bridge the gap between trees (s-exprs) and graphs with cycles (actual circuits)?

by rini17 4y ago
But trees are trivially linarizable. What will you do when you need to describe a graph, when there's some direct relationships between sub-systems? (Yes most programming languages use trees, it has some advantages. But most people pr
