In a lot of ways, the statistical processing is a novel form of information retrieval. So the issue is somewhat like if 20 years ago Google was indexing the web, then decided to ju…

> I do follow one photographer who manages to do it Link? Also to your photos, if you post them, and care to share.

If reading something is hurting your feelings, you can stop reading it. Twitter even provides mute, block, and whatnot functionality to prevent specified things from even showing u…

Would you mind going into more details about what you see as the OLED downsides? Is it just Apple’s variant, or the broader product category?

Why did you do this thing 2 weeks ago? vs Why didn’t you do this thing 2 weeks ago that you were under no legal obligation to do? Seems like a significant and valid distinction eve…

What is your source of info here? Can you be more specific? Who are they?

Human habitation and influence on the landscape in the Amazon seems far more extensive in scope and duration than previously thought, based on recent discoveries. https://duckduckg…

In considering these things, affordances must be made to the new abilities made possible by the computational tools now at our disposal. Following your line of reasoning if it is p…

You seem to have misunderstood what I was meaning to convey. I wasn’t even meaning to say much in the way of the virtues or not of piracy, or the legitimacy of copyright in it’s pr…

Without Google, YouTube, and Dropbox, copyrighted material would just be where the copyright holder deemed and authorized it to be. (save some amount of piracy of course) It would …

Are you(or anybody) using the Obsidian iOS mobile app with git for sync/versioning? Is that possible?

Hmm What’s your sense about SETI or the Fermi paradox, if a signal becomes so vastly diluted just within our solar system? I’m sure the SETI people have thought about this and made…

Interesting thanks. It may not be representative of a majority but it seems pretty widespread, and it is representative of a type of problem led lights are prone to, at least right…

> Amen, but alas we’re not there What is troublesome is that many places, that many of us probably hail from, “were there” not so long ago, and it was destroyed by duplicitous, mal…

> If you need more light clarity, light your own phone torch or something. Good point! In this case of nighttime lighting infrastructure it has become so vastly overbuilt as if to …

Last sentence is a fine idea, it is also possible to move toward developing a society where “potential attackers” is a thought much more distant in people’s minds.

Very excited to see the headline, but the “hack” was highly underwhelming, disappointing, disconcerting. We need to be reducing light pollution for the benefit of humans and other …

That’s an interesting point of reference. I have thought about what a big change it was to go from a sheet music and live performance only world to a world with audio recordings. Y…

I too think it is interesting to look back in time using the generation metric. Also interesting to think about a generation still alive, those born in the 1920s and 30s and the hu…

Isn’t there some sequence of communication or something between Hal and Satoshi that makes it seem fairly implausible they were the same person? I’m not particularly up to speed he…

I know this can be a hot button, but some genuine intellectual curiosity in here. Some information I don’t think is widely known, as well as inducing some thinking about how societ…
