Why unfortunately? Are you suggesting that air conditioning sidewalks in Qatar is a luxury? Because the only other option I can think of is for people to leave Qatar. It’s far from a luxury.

Cruz's eligibility has always been unsettled, it's just that it never actually became a problem since he suspended his campaign.

There is a .vscode folder in the repository, suggesting they might not be eating their own dog food yet but are actually using VS Code to develop Theia.

The problem with this reasoning is that it misses the key ingredient that might have helped people achieve great things: solitude. Solitude is almost impossible to reach with today's attention economy (mostly social media), people will

Verlan is usually used by french people with North African origins (where Arabic is the official language) I have always thought that these people were just reading French from right to left like you would read Arabic, giving birth to Verla

This was disturbing to me as well, but one way to think about it is how babies end up learning to talk: they don't speak any language initially, but they are still capable of thinking, since you need that in order to learn to talk, so

I go to the library almost every week and it’s almost never to borrow books. I go there to work or to read (sometimes on my kindle) because of how quiet it is.

by theboywho 7y ago
That doesn't mean Americans watched less movies (maybe even the opposite given Netflix) or that Americans went to the library in 2019 more than they did in 2018. Going to the movies is probably a dying activity, comparing it to going t

I don't agree. It's not necessary meaningful _only_ for symbolic reasons, in fact, you chose to give it meaning that way. You can also simply enjoy the fact your kid is happy and you are having a solitude moment with somebody who

Meaningful moments don't exclude symbolic ones. You can die in a heroic way (that some might find stupid since symbols are subjective) but my personal opinion is that the quality time you spend with the people you leave behind counts f

Symbolism is as subjective as it gets, an act can be interpreted as heroic by some people while others might think it's stupid. Meaningful moments don't exclude symbolic ones, they extend them by including banal moments like havin

We kinda know that memory lies in the brain and that the brain gets rotten after you die. Symbolism is nice but it can’t replace actually meaningful moments.

by theboywho 7y ago
When you die you no longer remember (if you do then you're not dead), so it doesn't really matter. What matters is a life full of meaningful moments, not symbolic ones.

Every time a block is mined, miners are paid in transaction fees + newly generated coins. After 21 million coins have been generated, miners will only be rewarded transaction fees => it doesn't mean blocks will stop being mined; blo

If something can be predicted, or if many people agree with you, then it's not that revolutionary. ctrl+f "bitcoin" returns 0 results. Disruptive ideas take humanity by a storm few people believe it's coming, the rest ca

The difference with Google is that it's a search box. It's not like Microsoft Windows or the iPhone, where the monopoly is supported by an ecosystem of apps and compatibility. If the product is bad and shows irrelevant results com

The question is whether or not Google results are relevant to your search query. There are many alternatives to Google, you can't claim that Google results are not relevant to what you are looking for because Google "interferes&qu

I don't get what the article means by "Google Interferes" beyond what we already know. I can't imagine any notion of neutrality applied to search results, except making your search algorithm public, but then, Google is n

Thanks for reporting back about what is discussed in the rest of the article. I still think the author is confused about two different things: popularity and centralisation. The issue is not that now, a bunch of very few popular services is

It feels like the author was exposed to the rhetoric of the web having been ruined by tech giants due to centralisation, and decided to write an article about that, expecting clicks and views, all without trying to first understand what the

if you’re not reading about some subject you think you’re curious about, can we still call it being curious about said subject ? Maybe you just find the idea of being curious about the subject cool. Makes me think of this quote ascribed to
