Maybe we should police each other more, and technology less? But who is making the technology? Circles. Circles everywhere. Perhaps you should not anthropomorphize technology.

Police sure seem pleased thumping skulls. Anything we can do to make it easier for them.

I don’t like “let” because of my math dept in school was all “= is pronounced is” for some reason (long time ago) “let n is 10” Tear some hair out every time, as I can’t get my bra…

Oh I dunno, seems like it’s an honest platform versus the euphemism and platitudes industrialists use.

Yes, let’s have your anecdotal experience be the basis for curbing speech. I’ve lost dozens of friends and family to alcoholism and drunk driving. I can’t really get behind the che…

Most advocates for decriminalization I’ve encountered have a platform of using taxes for counseling and addiction services. The middle ground you seek is already defined clearly. A…

All this suggests to me is Epic has a limited path to growth without courts deciding they indeed are entitled to more profit without producing anything net new.

This feels like an arbitrary perspective. Text has all the same properties as an image. It’s a composite of elements of varying height, width, and meaning to the whole. Some senten…

Another billionaire talking about others having entitlement issues. Insert line about smelling their own. This blog post is yet another confirmation for me that similar to how we c…

Is it hard to take pollen allergies from dozens of different plants seriously? How about dust and smoke? How can someone be allergic to both! The temerity. It’s less about chemistr…

Point and click or keyboard UX for this stuff is awful no matter how you slice it. At most I want a prompt for my unlock password when the password manager sees I’m on a site or in…

As someone from the Midwest, it has no shortage of landlocked FOMO/YOLO types. SV is just this generations Gold Rush and Hollywood Star chasing excuse for moving to California.

Yes I get how it works in the base case. What we disagree on is the level of complexity. It’s cli commands and text editing regardless of which method is used. There is no iron cla…

It’s software? It’s all of triggering an ordered copy-paste process (downloading and installing is just a less random copy-paste). I dunno about you but I don’t download Ubuntu’s p…

Open source developers across the world would like to have a chat. Forcing people into the office isn’t about producing useful output. It’s about embedding an expectation, and rout…

“Hindsight is 20/20.” Of all the failures in the system that could have prevented lives, this seems like the least egregious. What people need to realize is politically inclined or…

Teach science, trust the students

SCOTUS ruled last December Federal law allows suing government agents who violate Constitutional rights. https://ij.org/press-release/u-s-supreme-court-rules-unanimo... Cities shou…

But meanings vary depending on region, education, political background. Science, direct experience, is about as concrete as it gets.

They’ve always had an agenda; sway opinion and leverage that power. I wonder if they’re less trustworthy or you’re more aware of their untrustworthiness?

Yes, exactly. My reply was to a post highlighting when we’ve been lied to. I was just piling wood on the fire.

Right, because social media points can’t be gamed.

Since Fourier suggested sun light is likely trapped within the Earth’s atmosphere back in the 1820s others began digging into it. John Tyndall showed in the 1860s C02 from coal was…
