Would that be your SSN in the US for example? I don't think most people would be in favor of that. Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, the UK, and the US have no government-is…

Yes.

hell, semantic web even. we wouldn't need AI

Not all countries have centralized systems with comprehensive national databases, some purposefully fragment record-keeping across different agencies and limit their access accordi…

I don't see how we can arrive at an alternative interpretation if we follow your argument to its logical conclusion.

You can verify that you're above a certain age while remaining anonymous by way of zero knowledge proof, for example. There is no need to involve a government in a transaction of i…

Unbounded integer types exist, which have infinite precision in theory and are only limited by available memory in practice. You can make the argument that "proper" integers are al…

Yes, all floating numbers are rational. (It's also true that they are all reals but i get your point.)

It's the old internet. I started having meaningful interactions again when I deleted most my social media accounts and rediscovered IRC and other platforms alike. I started consumi…
