Why are you asking questions to some random person on the internet? Do you know something you're not sharing? I was just trying to be helpful and relay an answer to your question that I gleaned from the article itself. I have no spe

The browser is already made though. It would be possible for a motivated group to fork one of the existing browsers and start a new organization with refocused values around its further development. Of course, that really depends on someo

Yes, a psychopath is just being true to his nature in that case. There's no "responsibility" to other people, just actions and consequences. Those of our ancestors who had a bond with their tribe, and took care of each othe

It is a fair reading. You are advocating the control of speech and online freedom of others based on your own personal beliefs. Any way you cut it, you can not advocate such things without believing your views on the world are superior en

You have more faith in your own virtue and right to rule over others than I do. I prefer to live as much as possible letting others live as they choose and being responsible for myself. QAnon isn't really much of a problem in the rea

There are always going to be crazy people. But what does it matter what they think? What matters is what the average rational adult who is a contributing member of society thinks. What is the end goal? To make it impossible for crazy peo

Obviously -- we're living through a pandemic, and people are out congregating in large protests and other gatherings. The point is that the numbers thrown around like 200k deaths are not reduced by the natural mortality rate of that po

That's a really shallow analysis though. It doesn't consider how many of those people would have survived without a pandemic, and it doesn't count suicides and degraded quality of life costs due to the lockdown rather than t

Aren't those two things essentially the same thing? The best way to advance your career is to make choices that benefit the most people. You're not going to get ahead if your decision fails to save lives or the economy.

As far as the actual data access goes, it is equivalent, but you can't cache the agent process itself. So every agent is potentially repeating work centrally, rather than spreading that load out to each client. That may still be a wo

It seems pretty clear that capitalism tends to produce concentrations of wealth. Billionaires are created by capitalism because of this tendency. The question is if you can stop the tendency of capitalism without killing the system altoge
