This idea is the subject of the 2013 book "Who Owns the Future?" By Jaron Lanier.

>That is not who we are. No, that is not who you would like us to be/have been. Very evidently, that is who we are.

Privatize the gains, socialize the losses. Even in the news.

I hated when textbooks/papers did this. Half the time you can't tell if they meant to use the bold letter or if the printer was just being generous on that character. Made legibili…

The closest thing to this at the moment, I think, is online Chess.

Not the OP, but here's my observation: When I have to stop at a light until it turns green, I have to navigate the intersection while the cars around me are entering it as well. Su…

Is this comment supposed to be the hook for a short story or film where you slowly learn that you're actually the grandson of the impostor?

My father still has his an HP-41CX he was given for his HS graduation in the early 80s, which he had restored about a decade ago. He uses it mainly, but not exclusively, when he wa…

I don't mean any personal offense, but as an American I associate this behavior with "you can't afford not to travel" and "eating $regionalFood in $location has ruined the dish for…

Chess. Any time I have a couple minutes I manage to squeeze in a blitz game.

I'm pretty sure these racial categories are American abstractions, whose names have only reflected their composition in recent decades. The Irish, for instance, were long not consi…

I just meant that I haven't made any efforts to keep google from snooping on me through that phone. So I get all the convenience of e.g. google screening my calls and waiting on ho…

It probably should be explained. Their classification makes sense, but I think some may be misled. The demographic of people getting older phones and running LineageOS would probab…

Coincidentally, yesterday my father handed me his old Moto X 2014 with a shattered screen, asking me if I wanted to do anything with it before he trashed it. I wiped it and install…

>Imagine instead a tmux that could allow multiple users to connect to it simultaneously, and drive different panes at the same time, or view the commands that another user is using…

I think somewhere in between these two options is emacs.

Are you referring to the time the US air force built a cluster out of 2000 PS3s? Seems good.

Big if true. Clicking around arXiv and google scholar, I get the sense the author is legitimate. But I wouldn't be surprised if some technical barrier was found by another expert. …

That's just 'democratization' of the word 'democratization', man.

Ramirez is doing the twitch stream, though you're right that he was able to balance out how the computer analysis affected his commentary. OTOH, I felt that as an event dragged on,…

A great example at how computers affect chess commentary is the currently ongoing tournament in St. Louis. On youtube, the game is broadcast by people using an engine to evaluate t…

I just read about 70% of The Power Broker before having to return it to the library - what a book. I was surprised at how easy it was to read something so long, with often pretty b…

That's true if you want to play 1...e5 against 1.e4, but you don't have to. Obviously, every opening has its various traps and cheeses, but if you hated the fried liver so much, wh…
