Can't be emulated efficiently, or at all? Has it been tested or is it based on this comment from Intel? "Emulation is not a new technology, and Transmeta was notably the last compa…

The point isn't a guiding rule for you, so it's not limiting on your actions. It's where I see red flags. And yes, but judgement is a good thing.

Or, accept that many women enjoy being nurses and doctors, such that man->doctor | woman->nurse/doctor isn't weird. It's not a competence thing, or stopped being since woman doctor…

Right, like we extensively worked out the ethics of automobiles before we allowed them. Can you imagine if we let cars contribute to inequity by allowing rich people to own them an…

I imagine the people most annoyed about this don't have any, or know that they needed to. (Because you're hogging them all. Way to go!)

Right, because the issue of calling people 'enablers' of bad policing is generally so bipartisan that I'm coming from nowhere with my group labels... What's the # of the one about …

I agree about the red-flag part for avoiding all your exes, but I also find it a red-flag when someone says how well they get along with their exes. "If so, why do you have so many…

The advice would be to not let a label tell you that you don't like it. If you don't like dancing because men don't dance then that's silly, no matter if it's your deepest held con…

Nuance is sort of counterproductive here because most people don't recognize how many things could trigger an interrogation. Any little personality quirk, or being in the wrong pla…

Many conservatives (that's how I'm labelled on here, so...) do not support the police as is. I've specifically witnessed more than one instance of absolutely treasonous behavior by…

I've seen conservatives say they feel (have empathy) for the women in Jacob Blake's life, and the children, but not for Jacob himself. Or at least not since he became an adult and …

I imagine that when you think yourself better than "them", you're thinking about mask-refusers, literal nazis, and (((dog whistlers))). And when they think of "you" they think of a…

There's a difference between discussion and the five-minute hate where people recite a list of manufactured transgressions. Most people who say we should discuss politics more seem…

If I send you a signed message from a trusted key, your "audit trail" is to save that message. Super simple. And if I have a message ID in each you could even show that there aren'…

I don't see how adding a currency makes this easier. Even if I don't want the currency you have, I want XRP less.

That is a conflation of two things. The first is an bitstream from a hwrng, and you're right that if it was non-uniform this would probably mean that it was biased and would be a w…

That sounds wrong. Many of my best friends live every day thinking of their children and their future. I welcome congress acting like this. I don't trust laws justified with only a…

Well, if they did Apple could respond with a few short pages (targeting: none, ads: none, etc.) of info compared to the terabytes the social companies would need.
