   I'm sure everyone has an opinion about this, but if encourage you to learn Colemak instead of Dvorak. All of the standard keywords shortcuts (copy, paste, undo) are two hand operations in Dvorak which for me was a huge break up of my w

   Entropy must increase in a closed system (which is the bit that everyone conveniently forgets). Earth is not a closed system, receiving a significant daily energy input from a near-by star.

   I’m curious. What is Brisbane’s lifestyle like? Would love to visit.

   In my mind, following through on their threat is the worst thing Google could do. If they leave and Australia’s business and government suffer, other countries are going to make laws to ensure this doesn’t happen to them.

   I’d be very interested in this too. The museum should set up a service and take a share of the profits

   I always try to remember that my brain is essentially the same as the brains of the Auschwitz prison guard’s and that there is nothing special about me that would keep me from doing what they did. It is only civil society that prevents huma

   I mean, it’s not like we knew this was coming or had any time to prepare for it...

   I’d love to know more about this, if you had recommendations?

    This really highlights the importance of herd immunity and why I will be front of the line for vaccine when they are available to me.

    Research shows that people view negative evaluations as being more intelligent. It’s extraordinarily difficult to be intelligently positive, and very easy to seem intelligently negative.

    It’s the worst. Unless you have to use any of the other ones.

    Preventing dangerous incitement to violence is in no way recent, not is what is happening now in any way new. The only difference between now and 200 years ago is the amount of damage that speech that is unconstrained by social norms can do

    This is incredibly effective. I've walked my dog several thousand times in the last 10 years, and that is several thousand times I absolutely would not have been out for a walk otherwise

    You seem confused as to the purpose of democracy. It is not to capture the wisdom of the crowd. The crowd is intensely stupid (as a vote on lockdown would certainly reveal). It is an agreement that power will change hands peacefully.

    Stop going after democracy and I'll think about it.

    Sure. But this is not the only issue in human experience where nuance or subtlety may be required, and we seem to have navigated many of those other issues okay. I do not believe this sort of dichotomous thinking is useful.

    I think part of the problem as well is that "free speech" has been elevated from "desirable" to "the greatest good". It is good. It is not the greatest good. It does not surprise me to see people involved in In

    Telegram is my go-to because it has a browser client and a native Windows Desktop client.

    Well sure. But I expect we’ll have problems getting anyone to turn up to our “get attacked by a bear” meetings... :)

    Exactly. Is why we outlawed underage drinking and hard drugs. Once you get a taste you can’t say no even if you want to. The problem is not humans and human nature. The problem is that social media exploits human nature in a new way. It’s n

    I get so frustrated when people offer solutions that encourage debate. Antagonized opponents do not need debate. They are not listening to arguments. They are arguing to show their loyalty to their own side and the science shows this. They

    And that's precisely the danger of social media. If he must reach his following through a (relatively) neutral third party (the main-stream media) that third party can choose whether or not to pass that information on. If he always and

    Might it be because if the teacher reads the n-word out loud they’ll lose their job? If they don’t read it out loud the students will pester them until they do?

    Can you explain your business model more clearly? Including how you intend to compete with current news outlets, and with the human tendency to not really care about things that should be important to them? The web site was not clear.
