I think it's a cool idea, but it's one of many that start with a lattice model of space.

Not a physicist, but my answer to you is that usually superliminal speeds is the price that physicists are willing to pay to explain what is observed in experiment. I get your objection to the rather convoluted argument that special relativ

I'm saying that Torvalds believes in the GPLv2, and has consistently and coherently argued that v3 is overreach. But more importantly, there is the issue of surrendering copyright to the FSF, which Stallman requires (when he gets to hi

These are important points, but do not address other more fundamental concerns. Stallman's idea of free software is limited to those projects for which the FSF owns the copyright. Linus Torvalds, perhaps the principal practitioner of s

Sure, but what abstractions? If you look at flattening cpu speeds, we're in a period (probably not forever tho) in which advances in computing will happen at the software level, which raises the priority of concurrency and runtime effi

Not that stealing is ok, but the solution to this problem in the long run is jobs -- lots and lots of green jobs. When you stop moralizing and step back from the situation, you see cost of living skyrocketing and the job market hollowing ou

Agreed. I would feel better about this if I didn't think apps and local computing were really important. The alternative to phone apps is the web, but the web will never be fast (imo) and is simultaneously getting less open every day a

For the life of me, I cannot remember his name and I cannot find a reference, but there is a post-war German theologian who celebrated the kind of personal Christianity that doesn't require a church hierarchy, arguing that acting ind
