This is a very interesting analysis! Do you have any references that we can read up on? Thank you!

You didn't read the article. It explains exactly why the professor chose this piece and how it fit into his class lesson. You don't need to speculate like this.

Xenophobia uses the "phobia" suffix correctly.

Oh, so like 2+2=5 now, because enough of people have repeated that phrase often enough that it's gained its own contextual meaning and thus is now a truth we should accept without questioning?

The term "phobos" is from Ancient Greek, and has been an integral part of our language for at least 3,000 years. That's a lot more staying power than the recent 5-year trend.

I expect the term "phobic" to revert to its original meaning over the next 40 years, especially if we continue to call out the hypocrisy in its usage.

by toomim 4y ago
Yeah, no kidding. "Phobic" means a fear or aversion to something. Showing a picture of islam's founder is the opposite of islamaphobic.

Well said. Thanks for sharing this.

If you don't see any leftishness in Tim Pool, I'd suggest that your notion of left vs. right could be recalibrated. Tim Pool is a self-described social liberal. He's long been a strong Bernie Sanders supporter. He also has f

I still remember the days when students were students, and workers were workers. First, you were a student, and paid tuition to learn. Then, you graduated into the workforce, and paid off your tuition. Now students call themselves "stu

Not every system. Some systems can detect gaming, and fight back, like a body's immune system. https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1SRWbyA2uCnda1JwAZ3Ji... https://peeryview.org/about

Working on it. There's a prototype and explanation at https://peeryview.org/about . We don't have federation (using braid) tested yet, but you can play with the basic model of realtime choose-your-own-moderation

Yes! This is the approach we're taking at https://braid.org -- extending HTTP itself into a decentralized synchronization protocol, so that any application built on top of it can be decentralized. Specifically, you can div

In finance, they call it "irrational exuberance" or "irrational pessimism". In politics, they call it "misinformation" or "fake news". In slashdotting neckbeard techery, we say "fud". The te

Bank transfers aren't about technology; they are created by government regulation. SEPA is a government standard. The US government, in a sense, couldn't regulate its banks into fast transfers.

That definition is obviously subjective, and depends on the user. Some users (like myself) don't need a GPU for anything, and thus a GPU is not "base." It's a frivolous addition for playing games. You can run a whole d

That definition still varies between you and others. I personally consider sleep to be a "base component."

This is a big one — when you close the lid on your laptop, the laptop stays on. When you open the lid again, the battery will be drained, because it stayed on the entire time.

What happens if User B moves his cursor to position 0 at the same time that User A types at position 0? Depending on the order that those events arrive, and how ordering is disambiguated, it's possible that different peers could see Us

Yes! We call this the "Merge Type" of data in the braid.org group. Each datum as both a data type and a merge type . The programmer just needs to specify these two types, and then the programming runtime can choose which synch

Thanks! Where are you hosting the machines? Are they on a vps somewhere, or do you own the hardware?

A publication that contradicts itself should be taken with a grain of salt.

Yes, and as feross says in a comment on this page: "WebTorrent is fully supported in nearly all the most popular torrent clients, including uTorrent."

But the same thing happens in sports. In basketball, Dell Curry led to Seth Curry and Steph Curry, and the latter just broke the 3-point record. That's merit.

Gitless is great, and to be fair is already mentioned in the article.
