I'll thank this recommendation by recommending The Gramatical Man: Information, Entropy, Language and Life by Jeremy Campbell. More or less same topics.

I'd argue this is the reason Reddit outage is definitely more mainstream than it "should" be (meaning organically). In reality no one gives a flying fuck about subreddits closing, they just want their memes.

In my experience with big tech, there's almost never technical issues with this kind of preferences. It's a business decision.

bumby is on right on the money. I've seen it happen: a poor understanding of the big picture leads to pretty common scenarios: department and role duplicity, unnecessary redundancy and cases like the one you mentioned. Personally it&#x

Would like to see evidence about this. I agree, for me the cost of sharing the account with my family is negligible. I suspect the most noisy opinions tend to set the narrative, as usual.

To me that makes even less sense. You provided that content knowingly for free, voluntarily, fair and square. No one forced you to, it wasn't an unfair nine to five job. You decided to do it. Can you realistically expect to have some

That's ok, you've certainly used their services for free, as most of us, and they don't owe you anything. I get the feeling that some people are trying to spin this into a crusade of sorts, I fully get this feeling from your

I see two pretty distinct issues here: 1) most people's favourite app is going to die, and 2) many subreddits will be negatively affected by this move: prime example is /r/AskHistorians. Personally, 1) is not really an issue

Any scheme that covers 99.9% of cases is a success, something quite hard to achieve. Calling it a terrible idea is a bit melodramatic, no?

This sounds like a potentially dangerous condition to have if you drive, no? Is there a name for this?

We learned this in Chile as well, Oceania is as Asia is as America. Also that no country is at the same time a continent. Are Aussies taught that their country is the actual continent?

Thanks for replying. Hopefully you can guide me on a question about Kagi. A privacy warning in Kagi landing's page reads the following: "We do not log or associate searches with an account." But one of the CTA below specifica

Thanks for the advice. Will add Dark Forest to my queue.

Thanks for sharing! Last two years I've been feeling like I'm taking crazy pills with all the hype for the trilogy. I finished the first book with high uncertainty if I should even open the second one, which I did, only to put it

Have the same feeling, which of course might not accurately reflect reality. But boy, this place can really make people force that "pristine me vs unethical you all" spirit. Just think about it, GP preemptively felt the need to sh

Now it's not uninteresting. I advise you to contact a mod if this thought police role-playing is not enough for your needs.

That's precisely why we should stop thinking about "good" architecture. At the very best, we'll find the least worse architecture, and that's that. But realistically, just a handful of the real world scenarios we al

It is, and shockingly for some, it's also exercising free speech to point out the hypocrisy. You can do both!

It is also important to understand what the other party is actually saying before responding. They are _clearly_ saying that psychosomatic affections are real affections. They're agreeing with you. This was an amazing display of self n

can you explain a bit more? negative press seems to fit right in Thiel's alley.

True but reality is more nuanced than that. Case in point, Truth Social also "has eyeballs" but is there any respectable company investing in ads there? For better or worse, the type of eyeballs also matter, increasingly so I&#x27

Am I understanding this correctly? The very fact that the Crypto scene was filled with criminals is direct evidence that "it works"? Is this a soft implication that the same scene should "continue" to exist as it current

This is the perfect moment to create a library of YouTube links with metadata. After they remove more search options, or search al together, you would still be able to search in this meta-youtube

I really love the optimism implied in this comment. Unless people get to USSR poor, I have the feeling they will keep buying the new iPhone N, if anything just to have the newest.

I've read the Trick and found it very derivate. Most interesting, but he's not discovering a new element either. I'd wager that anyone with an average knowledge of history and a basic understanding of how social systems work,

What possible value to the company can come from the CEO doing this stunt for coding style? Don't you think there are already company-wide guides for this? It sounds like something that someone from outside the software engineer world
