I don't know what you all are so terrified of, but the false narrative is just silly. I'm not sure what you're trying to achieve, but fiat has continued to dominate the currency of choice for the black market and crypto'

backyard chickens don't have a smell, that's only once you start mass producing them in a factory. The same way yours or your neighbors dogs, that produce substantially more feces than a chicken, don't cause neighborhood wide

A year of training would have anyone reproducing picassos art with likely high accuracy. A year of training in calculus is effectively what you have with juniors in high school. To be honest, saying it would take most people a year to repro

Correct and complete systems are large and complex, sure, but they are almost always comprised of small and simple parts. Unix in the 90s was around 300k LOC, hardly a small and simple system, but if we're to believe the author, it mus

I have a hard time taking this comment seriously. How am I supposed to equate a drawing any graduate art-school student could reproduce with foundational discoveries in mathematics that have changed the world in ways that quite literally we

I'm reading over NASA's 10 rules for safety critical code and it's littered with the word simple and keeping things small. I don't think NASA is an example for large and complex at all. Not to mention NASA is known for m

Where is this "complete and correct" code that came at the expense of being large and complex? I've certainly never seen it.

if you had never heard of picasso before and just passed this same image, maybe as graffiti on the street, would it have had a similar impact on you? I ask because I've seen a lot of art when traveling with friends and nothing other th

Ideally there would be a solution to bridge the huge class gap and better distribute resources such that middle class would move to the upper class and leave a vacuum pulling poor people up, but I do find it considerably disturbing to see h

At face value this, to me, only suggests that welfare is already so high that anything further is suffering from diminishing returns. To me, that wouldn't imply there are no policies (social or legal) that would encourage wealthy famil

I'm sure you mean to sound scary with the word "eugenics" but this word is also the root cause of outlawing incest. Do you think we should legalize incest? I'd assume not, and that's quite literally a eugenics law,

I don't have any good answers here, but it would seem that a negative consequence of welfare for lower income classes would have them disproportionately incentivized to have children (as their welfare would represent a much higher % of

Wholehearted agree that it's beautiful that twitter has the freedom to ban anyone, including the president. I disagree with the ban, but I don't really care what social media platforms do at all, to be frank. Musk buying twitter

This is just silly, do you know which tweets twitter cited as reason for Trumps ban? > “The 75,000,000 great American Patriots who voted for me, AMERICA FIRST, and MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, will have a GIANT VOICE long into the future. T

You've misunderstood me. I don't believe twitter has an obligation to be a platform for free speech. You're arguing against points I never made which makes me believe you may be misunderstanding other arguments as well. Musk

There's an extremely wide chasm between moderating trolls and banning subject experts and even the former president of the USA. It really doesn't matter what you or I think of the president, he was a democratically elected leader

Yes I'm still stuck on that, it's a story people often recognize and just because there has been no naked shorting found as of that report doesn't mean there isn't significant naked shorting involved. With the shorting m

The internet (just like crypto) is a global distributed network with only local regulations (that are easily bypassed, again, just like crypto) and I would argue this "techon-libertarian hellscape" is the most valuable and importa

I have to imagine having your service highly available (i.e. you need a failover machine) is far more likely to be the reason to need multiple machines than exhausting the resources on some commodity tier machine.

Are you suggesting if rust removed "safe in practice" features (only keeping theoretically safe features) it would lead to less exploitable software? If so I strongly disagree with you. Every language is rife with features that ca
