Why save cycles today if you can borrow tomorrow?

Doesn't the "enough control" part come from the Internet's addiction factor? As in, wouldn't software designed to work just as well without constant Internet "solve" this?

Does China have something like the Cuban sneakernet, or is there a clear reason why that wouldn't work there?

But sufficiency is observer-dependent. "This is my (IMHO sufficiently simulated) love for you!"

Where I live road law is about safety, not about "attitude correction". Culture is the thing that fosters positive attitudes and respect. You really think cyclists are trying to bu…

Inner alchemy feels like that as well! "AI? Well, I'm still trying just to reach human intelligence!"

I don't understand why people so seldomly go straight for the knowledge. It seems pretty obvious by now that knowledge is the key itself. Though subjective sciences like Kabbalah h…

I'm not sure "I was raised not to rat on friends" holds up in court.

It's a lot harder to kill a pedestrian with a bike than with a car, though. Cars are a lot more lethal than bikes, and most countries have road designs that are bike-hostile. You h…

If the routers have public keys it's possible, then the client has to determine (some or all points on) the route. I think future protocols will track use and payment via client-pr…

To me it seems to be caused by the technological imbalance caused by DRM. If people have social media clients that are wholly in their control (to e.g. integrate a bunch of differe…

The societal facade without computers at least requires a semblance of common sense, good manners and physical health.

The destination IP could be hidden opportunistically? Send the destination IP for high-priority requests and retry without the destination. Low-priority/long-latency requests would…

Any assurances that this won't seriously disturb the earth's ecology and human health, or do we no longer bother with that when manipulating the whole planet?

I was hoping for a Hellraiser-looking network of pins sticking into the skull, but they actually sew right into the brain-skull membrane! Why exactly is this necessary? Does this f…

Pizzagate and Qanon are not conspiracies, they are theories about conspiracies. A conspiracy theory is just a non-mainstream body of information describing a system of political en…

No. Previews can not be disabled and I have disabled "next episode"-autoplay for my user profile. It'd be too weird if this was the other way around for a non-Dutch public, so I wi…

It's configurable in the web version. More of a TV-with-closed-software problem.

I think I'll wait for Web 4, with three dimensions and time. I hope it's as fun and conducive to creativity as MineCraft!

May she rest in peace.

Actually, it would be somewhat consensual if it were a setting with a time lock after the first change (e.g. you explicitly commit to the settings you choose for a set time). And t…

Derived user data is still user data? Up to the point where the client sends something mathematically indistinguishable from random noise to the server. At which point it's useless…

If you notice bugs, you should do more maths and get tweaking. Wait... something's not quite right there. On a more serious note: the biggest barrier to correctness I've encountere…

I already love anytime algorithms! I wish I could apply it to dishwashing. Re.: an algorithm for solving boredom: step 1. tell human operator "I'm bored!", step 2. execute task or,…

3rd order thinkers see direct causes, indirect causes, direct effects and indirect effects, which establishes the need for setting up an internal feedback loop to strengthen the ca…
