Yeah I think it wilted a while ago, as fun as it might be to think about.

These processes seem to only move in one direction. In 5 years this exact comment will probably make you sound like an "extremist" if you say it to a random person. "What, why wouldn't you be okay with apple searching th

But "control policies" require by definiton the market to already be cornered by whoever is trying to control it. Without being cornered the market will be cornered?

Why would there be legal images in the db? do you have a source for that?

Color me impressed! A Quanta article with an equation.

This is terribly written. Weasel words, loaded questions, and vague ad-hominems everywhere. I truly cannot find any actual data, reasoning, or argumentation anywhere in the text. It is beyond me why this author, clearly an intellectual serf

If python had proper macros/easy AST processing you wouldn't need to make this a separate language. still cool

"Neural networks" aren't very similar to brains, so I would doubt it

Do most small-town Italians speak English, and would they actually want a bunch of expat Americans showing up in their neighborhoods one day? You may be Italian, but for others...

I think decentralized exchanges are cool but they are only useful for people who already have significant crypto holdings. ~nobody gets paid in bitcoin. The initial transfer of fiat for crypto is the most difficult part since that's wh

I really, really want to believe this but I don't think I can. Over the past several years there has been an unquantifiable but subjectively enormous shift in the atmosphere of the cryptocurrency world. At one point it shifted from bei

Yeah Negroponte is a grifter. He has been involved in other failed stuff like this too. He is basically a ted talk personified

Basically any complex thing humans do consumes energy and therefore emits carbon dioxide. So you can selectively criticize anything you want by invoking carbon emissions. It's pretty funny actually, especially considering how much sway

Why would there be? You can't expect them to illegally surveil the whole population and then give you an easy procedural way to see what they have on you

I should have been more specific - what I meant is that the ads that instagram chooses to show you can be thought of as points in ad-space. So when you click on ads and instagram chooses to show you different ads as a result, you have trave

by voldacar 5y ago
It's interesting how this exposes the dynamics of ad-space. Advertisements as points in a metric space A. Clicking ads as a contractive mapping C:A->A. Class-action lawsuit ads as a fixed point in A when iterating C. This must imply

You have not really restored the omelette to its original state. That just destroys the egg and uses its energy to power a machine that creates a new one. The aging analogy would be destroying old people and feeding them to pregnant mothers

by voldacar 5y ago
This is true in theory but in practice it doesn't really make the problem solvable. Go show me your machine that turns an omelette into an egg.

Yeah I get that but the what is the upside to winning exactly? You continue doing exactly what you did? It just seems completely irrational

Seriously, why would you make your awesome website less useful for everyone because a court in India wants you to do something? Are you Indian? Does the Indian government have some kind of authority over you? Are you combing through the l

I don't think you can correctly conceptualize the US presence in Afghanistan as a gamble for resources that was lost. It's been 20 years. If there was ever a gamble, it was a while ago

Ah so newly created articles are "noisy" in terms of bias and over time they quiet down and approach a neutral point of view? if this is true, you should be able to show me a bunch of articles about polarizing current events that

>the purpose of US intervention in the middle east is almost purely for reasons of power and resources if this were the case, then the USA would have actually benefited from these wars. you ascribe far too much competence to our ruling c

by voldacar 5y ago
This is a well-written article that exceeded my expectations. It's easy to just point to petty examples of bias, I love that this author just picks a few polarizing topics and explores in detail how WP treats them.

This is really interesting viewpoint, consider turning this into an essay or something longer form. I'm sure plenty of people would be interested. It's uncomfortable to say because of how racist it sounds, but I've noticed th
