3. Assuming UBI has any negative impact on the value of the dollar, the fall in financial mobility you have from constantly, let's say "messing up" and losing your benefit every mo…

I read a few years ago that there's more history happening than historians can keep up with. Scary thoughts

Well for instance, I only use Twitter for news/activism. it's not aligned for anything else

Seems reasonable

I think news takes more of a front seat these days. Lots of history in the making.

The left has abandoned the pursuit of equality (equality of opportunity) for the pursuit of equity (equality of outcome), but now the left is changing the definition of "equality" …

Don't forget the DMs of all these accounts. That could be very valuable information.

An old CS professor: Efficiency with computers, effectiveness with people.

Was thinking about a dating app where you only get to reveal a few photos/ability to message after answering a short multiple choice quiz managed by the user. The questions can be …

I'll admit I don't know anything about Gab, but I'm not picking up "nazi/white supremacist site" from their storefront. https://gab.com/ Regardless, it's embarrassing how careless …

I think people are missing a few big points. 1) It's extremely difficult being a cop 2) It's extremely terrifying being a cop 3) It's extremely unpopular being a cop It boggles me …

The use case would let me be a lot more handsfree.

Really? The recognition has worked pretty well for me and people I know.

I'm also very against it, but I'm not convinced they don't already have whatever data they'd gain from using the assistant.

So you're suggesting I embrace the tech? I think I'll do this. I don't feel like I can reasonably protect myself from data-snooping companies, whether I use their products or not.

It would. I would learn to use it for everything I could. Setting timers with voice will be a big one for me. Changing music, hanging calling/hanging up the phone.

I understand the utility, I had a friend with a HomePod who used Siri for everything and I became jealous of how smoothly he used it to his benefit. I just don't see how in the fut…
