Exactly so. It requires just one suitable black swan event to destabilize an entire continent. Extreme events are really badly understood by many popular writers as demonstrated by Harari's 2016 book "Homo Deus" which stated

I hope this is satire.

I wouldn't complain if even one of the spin offs would be from the KOTOR universe. But I guess it's not canon anymore.

Exactly so. It's easy to argue against Trumpistas being a net negative to society on almost any level. It's much less easy to think about ways to negate them as a political force without hurting everyone else in the process, and i

No crisis should go to waste. It's interesting how tech people will endlessly argue about some minor details regarding privacy in some mediocre-usage phone app but huge precedents like these are swallowed without criticism because of p

Do share your experience if you'd like. I think a lot of people would find it interesting.

Exactly so. It would've been the smartest to clip the head off once the most momentum would have been blown off. That could've choked the entire movement. The fact that I was heavily downvoted and flagged for stating the opinion s

Incredibly stupid to ban him at this point. The storming of the Capitol was a dangerous event, but could've been the apex event of the Trump supporters. The whole movement should've been let to slowly fizzle away - now they'v

Chris Krebs is a policy guy by background and I don't see why he is a particularly good choice for a massive post-exploit cleanup, except for PR purposes.

Well it's safe to say that KFC's marketing department got you exactly where they want you to be at.

Silicon Valley absolutely has to be a place and people will return to face-to-face social contact the minute that is possible. It is impossible to build long-term meaningful relationships on a 100% remote basis.

Problem is that EU is not comparable in any manner to the US. For one, where do you suggest the Silicon Valley of EU is? London would've been a decent bet except that they just bailed. As someone else mentioned, capital is way harder t

Obligatory BGP hijack prediction, since there seems to be a bunch of other sites down too.

Well according to the post, the OP returned a cheeky message and any MK I Eyeball should clearly spot it as an intended condition. Automated scan-spam gets on your nerves pretty quickly. I run a small vulnerability disclosure program and re

In this context, it would also be fair to note that Portugal gets much more than it gives into the EU: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-48256318

Yeah. The problem using a shared computer was that any save you made was usually wiped out or overwritten the next time you went over, so I never progressed quite far with the game. Don't recall it mattering too much back then though.

Ah, Fate of Atlantis. As a kid, I used to bike to our local library to play it on the library computers - they had a surprisingly decent game selection. It was either this or another Indy game where you could win any fight by pressing a spe

The second article was golden, and I would say it cleared the concept very well. I do feel more confident about the mRNA method now. Thanks!

by waihtis 6y ago
One thing that makes me nervous is the mRNA vaccine which, to my close to zero understanding, is a completely novel way of administering a vaccine. Anyone have a good writeup or similar to relieve a bit of fear?

I can see exactly how this has played out: 1) Someone at Nintendo learns about a "anonymous hacker conducting exploits against the 3DS" 2) Exec's panic because "anonymous hacker" and a history of piracy battles and

How is Nintendo's "establish communication and clarify that nothing illegal is going on" any different from a lawyer sending a cease-and-desist?

The first part of your rant makes it clear you are confused of the topic at hand. The second part does follow some sense - but then, how many engineers did it take to build the US road system? Why aren’t you screaming at car companies, logi

Not only alcohol but also gambling, mobile gaming (with micropayments), and many other ”fun” pastimes with addictive qualities have the exact same distribution.

It would be less embarrassing for you if you understood basic risk concepts before making snarky comments on the internet. The "bankers" you refer to, for instance, don't personally own the money they disperse but are middle-

Elon Musk carried a lot of the financial risk to get the company into the position it is in now. The engineers did not. Funny how risk is always completely neglected in these "entrepreneur bad, engineers good" narratives.

Why is absolute equality a more desirable state than the merit-based system now in place?

Sure, but I wasn't implying it. It was a commentary on my personally missed context. I'm sure most of the people reading it "normally" captured the context just right.

Where am I complaining about it? Nowhere. Just said I missed it and wasnt familiar with said play. Absolutely no reason for you to be snarky about it.
