Can we freaking sell them dumbphones, then, and stop destroying portable computers for everyone else with that excuse? Which incidentally is often just a pretense for other motives…

Eh?

I've almost never used YouTube with ads, and I'd argue that it's instead insane to have long ads breaking your experience so often. Of course it's a costly service that needs to at…

You could have a service that lets you look for promotional information, only when you want. And lets you configure it from a completely random choice of ad, to something tailored …

Just change it to right to express your opinions, which is what was probably meant by the founding fathers. For sure they didn't mean right to bribe and right of companies to "spea…

It is not great that they use the E2EE term to describe TLS, although it's for a good cause

My feeling is that he understands your "online culture" much better than you, is very balanced and careful in the video, and you're probably a lot younger, inexperienced with inter…

If you don't fancy it, maybe, don't obsess on it either, given that it's bs?

Aren't rationalists supposed to be objective and motivate their claims, rather than belittling any critic with unsubstantiated statements? > This is a textbook study of motivated r…

What would you say are the views of the community as a whole, those shared by most of its members?

What you wrote means that you're potentially in favor of a dictatorship, by the way? Can I ask you if it's an idea you developed yourself or you read about it somewhere?

There might ( might , see later) be a set of values, but there definitely isn't anyone or anything that, given dictatorial powers, can be trusted in applying such values forever fa…

Ok, less wrong every day; we have some rationalists here, whether you think yourself as rational or not let's get an idea of how rational you actually are: do you agree with the vi…

Oh, they're working to instate a dictatorship, they're not that bad...

Rationalists should really watch this video

whatever you're referring to, "nebulous refugee loopholes" are a legal way to reside in a country, to be clear.

If you say so. I'm sure you're impartial about the matter.

It's not the bias the problem, it's the conviction of being better and "less wrong" than the rest of us. That, along with constantly calling yourself rational and being well-intent…

Oh, so Muslims by definition can't integrate with our own values, that's so much better...

One of us doesn't really understand English, do explain me how "They will also be forced to leave, even if they are born in Sweden, because they have no natural connection to Swede…

If saying that everyone who wasn't born in a place would be forced to leave it doesn't seem ethno-nationalist to you, I don't know what to tell you.

Why the monospace? I used to think that people in tech would have the brain to react in a sensible way, anyhow. And I don't see how you could think that someone " by definition, ca…

The quote without context is absolutely ethno-nationalistic (but I've been told that there's a context).

It's a complex issue, but in short, I think that some of the concerns about immigration are often legitimate. Progressive people, being more keen on altruism, tend to think that th…

I don't know why your comments keep dying, btw, I vouched for them
