The polity was fractured like this before TV and radio. Mostly the lesson over time has been that people don’t want to agree about anything with their rivals until absolutely forced to. The content of the argument is less important than the

It’s a reasonable question. The work is learning how to get a reasonable answer.

The post I replied to implied that the criminal justice system is the only solution to these problems: "employees should be able to sue, that's the process,sexual harassment is a crime, they can't sue because Google force the

What I am conveying to you is that your misunderstandings of evolution are causing you to say things that are illogical pretzels. Evolution is such a beautiful, elegant discovery. It underlies so much behaviour in the universe, from biology

Right?

Coops, communes, nonprofits, open source projects... lots of attempts to develop a sustainable micro economy. Build up from there.

I think it is poor judgment to create an organization that does nothing to secure its people from sexual harassment. Not sure why you would disagree but if that is what you intended I do not want to work for you.

Success is the selective measure. Not the prerequisite. The prerequisite is a population that changes over time relative to the selective pressure.

Your counterexample is an unrealized future hypothetical utopia. I am not sure where you are going with that, but I am sure that isn’t a “success” because it doesn’t exist yet. That is just a simple question of logical validity not of empir

It’s not an analogy. Evolution is the actual process. No ifs ands or buts about it. There are myriad attempts to try alternatives to some ideal “market economy”. From Venezuela to Burning Man to Wikipedia to China to Japan to Romania to the

That may have sounded profound but it comes off poorly because it gets the theory of evolution completely wrong. Success is the differentiator that allows for the selection part of natural selection. Also evolution cannot “grind to a halt”

True, why trust anything. It is not as if there is some systematic way to over time iteratively improve a rational model that is testable and verifiable through a competitive process.

by sunir 8y ago
There are plenty of attempts to think about other systems, implement them, and advocate for change. They all lack something important: success. Also ironically it is a market of competing ideas to markets.

Prosecution is one method of deterring thieves from robbing my store blind. I have also tried locked doors, security cameras and not leaving the store unattended. I like your argument that it is cheaper to just let people rob me blind and t

The URL should change with either offset (which is dynamic) or ideally ID as cursor (which is static).

The actual real crisis was WW2 which proved so many grand ideas to be wrong or terrifying if right. The atom bomb and the slaughter proved science is powerful, god nonpresent, and that in either case society had no grand narrative to believ

That’s bubble investing. Watching the face value only. Is the face value of Bitcoin higher or lower than its economic utility value? What is the economic utility of Bitcoin? I think that is the real underlying unresolved question that creat

That isn’t key. Making money by giving away something is free is physically impossible. Therefore there is something critical you are missing about what is going on. It’s only key in the other sense that it will unlock a door to greater und

The economy exists to serve the people not the other way around. The purpose of life is to preserve and develop life. If the economy is making it hard to live and reproduce the economy is maladaptive and will fail.

Could just be anxiety and tension headaches making you feel like your sinusitis is caused by sleep, rather than masked by it. It’s common enough.

There is definitely a huge industry designed to funnel venture capital away from ventures into what is effectively the entourage, hangers on, groupies, leeches and skeezers.

It is more scalable client-side. There are fewer browsers than Internet edges. The Internet is designed to circumvent any attempt to control the edges. You can hammer one app Facebook but you can’t hammer all apps. Just consider revery Chro

I read the ICO article and discovered the GDPR applies unless it doesn’t and I can refuse to act unless I can’t and I can charge fees unless they don’t want me to. I still have no idea what to do exactly. I don’t really think it is my respo

Nope. You contracted Google not the end user. You have to go track down all this information and all the providers and then handle the GDPR downstream.

It was not just some cynical reason the effort failed. MMP is a party list system. Canadians don’t want it. Over and over again Canadians vote down any change that doesn’t make representatives accountable to voters. Our government system is

It is insufficient to only mask PII because behavioural data can in some cases uniquely identify an individual, such as purchasing history. You have to destroy all data from the user. By the way it is this stuff that is so maddening about G

Maybe. It is more likely the United States will create the opposite regime. Since all major Internet software firms are American or Chinese it is also possible that the EU May sideline itself.
