    Weird question. The trouble with web automation tools such as Selenium and beautiful soup is that they require specific instructions to parse html. So it's difficult to auto scrape…

    What are the risks for generalized financial contagion in the traditional sector? I understand that crypto has been a way for wealthy individuals to hide funds from taxation, so if…

    The servers hosting the data haven't been seized. Within a week there will be a dozen new domains for this information hosted out of Mozambique and Luxemburg or something. What a s…

    Ask HN: Is This Linguistic Theory Testable?

    I have a question. I believe that there may be several linguistic threads that exist side by side that are cross cultural. It's difficult to explain, but in essence, I believe that…

    To anyone interested I wrote a small paper on this and I'm looking around for commentary. It's mostly a philosophy paper, but it considers AI as well. I then go on to discuss moral…
