God forbid a thought might form!

That’s what the entire economy does by design. You make the lowest common denominator people will still pay for.

What’s wrong with appreciating beautiful food?

Ah, Lojban! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lojban Sadly this does not let you speak to computers, just other language nerds with a lot of time.

Show me an interesting novel you wrote, then.

Seems cool, ordered one. I like my Kobo but the ability to shove it in a pocket seems sweet.

Depends on where they live. Groceries don’t have to be a weekly run to a far flung place to get a truck bed full of stuff. It can be a daily visit to a neighborhood supermarket on …

I think it’s a legal requirement, because it’s the same for Tesla.

Yeah, that’s why they install Linux

Maybe we need an economic system where it is. Shame should come packaged with legal personhood.

Beautiful project. Vim controls really found their way into my muscle memory through Tridactyl and Vimium, browser extensions that let you drive web pages and the browser itself wi…

Agreed. It’s a mess of confusing configuration spaghetti, my comment was not meant to imply quality (and that’s leaving aside asinine corporate policy). They’re pretty much the onl…

I feel like the Source engine for Half-Life 2 had some industry shaking physics due to their Havok implementation, which released in the same year. Doom 3 had cool gritty horror lo…

I disagree, even for successful projects retrospection toward mistakes is worth the pain to learn.

You could just put it in your calendar. 'Check if that hacky bugfix at ~/.dirtyhack.sh is still required with chmod -x ~/.dirtyhack.sh'

Maybe weighted is the wrong term, it’s a threshold and that seems prudent.

Well if you’re prepared to sell a kidney for a flux capacitor and a DeLorean, go for it.

I think account age and activity should be weighted into that equation.

I wouldn’t be surprised, good point. But closed door deals in the trillions? Because we’re coming up on those numbers.

If the most expensive models yet to come will end up behind bars by default, what is the economic incentive to make them in the first place?
