As for me, if I ever sort my shit out and get around to having kids, I'll try to teach them to challenge me when and only when I'm being unreasonable - and how to tell the difference between. Then we'll navigate interpersonal

I don't really know to be honest. But there's this that might be worth reading: https://tuxphones.com/purism-librem-5-vs-pine64-pinephone-li... > On the other hand, Pine64 opted for a community-based approach:

It doesn't have to be that way: the best way to learn is by not repeating the mistakes of others, but we overpersonalise the situation if cute and innocent puppies were involved, and especially if we were the puppies. Compare that to t

Regarding the question of victim blaming (a comment also brutally murdered), sometimes it's a sane question to ask: if you never look into the contributing factors of a situation you can never stop it from happening again. Put your pre

The biggest problem is probably driver integration for machines targeted at android. Bitch of a problem to have to constantly patch between them, and you're not getting any support from the vendors.

People like to see things in black and white (they're not always wrong, sometimes a compromise is the worst of all worlds).

You'd want something more powerful than subtitles - otherwise you get n^2 scaling with the number of languages.

There's a good chance that I'm conflating some ideas here, but I think there might be a kernel of something that isn't completely useless. I'm not sure if it's possible (given that there's overlap with public k

Then don't run code from untrusted sources. This also has major implications for cloud compute.

You want to be able to deploy and execute code outside the control of whoever physically controls the machine. Either you implement it with security features hidden from the device holder, in which case it will always be broken eventually,

Unless and until we get to efficient homomorphic compute, these measures will only ever be security via obscurity.

I'd love to see video with subtitles in both the source language and the target language, with edges between the corresponding terms. (Not perfect of course, translations never are, but for me (at least) it would ease understanding.)

It was the use of the term "skeleton key" that I think brings it down to the layman's level (it's the part where I thought "Oh."). They still won't understand how it works, but it provides an intuition of

Do we always need non anecdotal data to support every assertion that we make? I've had many face to face conversations in a room with a whiteboard that couldn't have happened nearly as efficiently if everyone was remote. Now I do
