I don't get the 'too high resolution' argument in 2024. The additional power consumption is negligible as has been pointed out by others. My 2013 Nexus 5 had a 1080p display. > if …

> Rationally, this is an incredible overreaction. It's perfectly rational to decrease the probability of getting involved in such a scenario even if the probability is very low. It…

No, we don't have a definitive answer. We are very good at describing what happens when we sleep and what goes wrong when we don't, and so there are a number of theories as to why …

I would add that it's a measure in particular how active the yeast is in your starter culture, and yeast is the crucial ingredient for fermentation.

You are not wrong, but as always, reality is more nuanced than assigning utilities to a game. Russia would benefit in two ways: a) Sending a message about capabilities and willingn…

You are confusing "no base" with "no evidence". A basis can also be logical support. And OP has outlined the logical (decision theoretical) foundations of their reasoning pretty cl…

> there's no reason to force them to do anything. So why are we forcing social networks to do a lot of things already today: We force them to remove illegal content, remove content…

No, I'm trying to understand what OP's position is? > There are a lot of things I think should exist but don’t want there to be laws enforcing that fact. Can you give some examples…

So you agree that social networks need moderation, but you disagree that there should be a law that says social networks need moderation?

Some analysts say the situation is (was) more nuanced: Prigozhin was pro-Putin but anti-MOD. His intention was to replace the MOD, claim their resources and fight in lieu thereof, …

Not sure I understand your post, both spam and threats are speech (at least in the US), so maybe something was lost in translation? Here are some of the limits of free speech in th…

From what I've learned here on HN someone who thinks that "free speech" is absolute - their right to free speech outshines the personal rights of others. So instead of discussing w…

> so once you do get to the end you have the law There is no end. Laws are just very very well performing models. But every 'law' breaks down if you violate the assumptions of the …

There is no (general) right to anonymity, but there is, at least in some Western countries, a right to privacy.

Yes there are some points where it is, e.g. elections, whistleblowing, witness protection etc., which goes to show that in general, in Western democratic societies, anonymity is no…

No, almost all parts of society require identification, you could say it's a fundamental principle (Western democratic) societies are built upon. Your freedom is based on me being …

Reminds of the time Musk said chess is "too simple" because there is no "fog of war" and no "technology tree".

No worries, appreciate your concrete calculation. I would argue it's just one more convenient assumption that leads us away from a realistic estimation. It seems to me USD 2500 is …

You have conveniently left out the cost differential for the printed edition, and you are conveniently pricing the trust/risk/hassle that comes with it at 0. And even in this case …

Okay, then please propose a concrete example with costs of labor, premium for print subscription etc. Happy to be proven wrong, but USD 2500 seems unrealistic.
