Nobody was forced to visit or read Gab, just as nobody is forced to listen to what I say to a few friends in my living room. Do you intend to control the latter as well, in the name of your "community"?

The Fire TV recast seems to be a shot across the bow for Tivo and Roku? the multiple speakers and amp seem to be a shot across the bow for Sonos and Bose? The Alexa-everywhere tactics are reminiscent of the early AWS years. The SDKs and pla

I'm not Greek... It was tempting, having studied Latin for a few years prior. I made the final decision based on a strong desire to understand the lyrics of Pink Floyd albums.

What a beautiful discovery! For context, 50k years ago was the early phase of a North-African pluvial period when the Sahara was a wet and fertile region; this lasted 20k years. The Neanderthals disappeared 40k years ago. The first evidence

tajen, the vast majority of your comments are marked [dead] and thus invisible -- it looks like you were shadow-banned two months ago.

Seattle is North enough that the sun sinks too low for your skin to be able to produce vitamin D between mid-September and mid-March! The May-August period has very few clouds and a not-too-hot sun, so that is a fine season from the point

This is so brilliant, I'm considering completely switching the type of software/hardware work I've been doing for the last decade.

My first assembly language was Z80, not really hard but not a lot of fun. Then along came the Motorola 68000 and that instruction set was bliss.

I've been repeatedly contacted by Google over recent years (supposedly because of the work I've done) but I've always felt uneasy about them and hesitated to respond. This additional layer of tracking and the recent revelatio

Many opine that Musk deserves punishment at the hand of the SEC. I disagree, profoundly. His post appears to have been ill-considered, may have been wishful thinking, was possibly driven by spite, and/or even written under the influenc

Since modern philosophy has been teaching that reality is a social construct, why wouldn't it follow that each individual self is too? Further, we have been taught that values are socially determined (market prices, fashion, popular ar

Maybe we should parse this slightly differently -- what do these people think of corporation-operated censorship that is designed to exactly please a generally oppressive government? In 1964 America, some types of rights-violating discrimin

Has Microsoft identified similar posts on Gab in the past, and requested/obtained their removal -- or else? (is Gab acting as a sudden victim?) If not, how is that possible -- since Gab was created to explicitly tolerate pretty much an

What exactly is "the pre-industrial average"? does that correspond to the Little Ice Age? why is that a good reference point, or baseline for comparison? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Ice_Age

by zerealshadowban 8y ago
Yes, one would most likely have followup questions once the baseline and its variables are made explicit.

by zerealshadowban 8y ago
What specific baseline do you pick, and why? are there multiple variables involved in that "baseline"? have these variables changed over the 10k years preceding the Industrial Revolution? together or separately? what about these s

Calling this movement "Quixotic" appears to inject a slightly elitist, overly negative evaluation of the goal. California is a powerhouse on its own, from farming all the way to technology, and could very well thrive with fully op
