The webmaster is publishing for humans.

That sounds like "if they didn't want to get stabbed, they would have disarmed the attacker" But this level of competence is not a given. I wrote my first html when i was 9. Nowada…

You wanna see an app i wrote when i was less jaded? Every app i wrote is an app i wrote when i was less jaded.

I'm learning F#, not sure if this generalises to ocaml too. In F#, there is no function overloading, but there is method overloading. F# lacks higher-kinded types, but it's possibl…

I'm not offended - great diplomatic putdown, well played

I also observe the phenomenon. In the case of craigslist, which is news to me, could you approximately quantify "heavily"? Are we talking about a few percentage points, or a visibl…

> at worst someone could make some mean anonymous comments No, at worst they could conduct an astroturf campaign and manipulate the overton window. I suspect that Noam Chomsky atta…

You think? I don't believe i have seen a single submission here using the github.io domain. It's possible some submissions are hosted there on a user's domain and heavily themed, b…

Hyperbole aside, that was a genuinely good move. I assumed it was subversive, because i infer that musk wants twitter to be a vehicle for democratic capture. (I can't call it "x", …

Great, what are you going to train it on?

It can do A, ergo it can do B. By the same logic, you have experience in low-latency numerical decision-making, ergo you could optimise a 3D rendering pipeline. Yeah, no.

I think the Starlink weapon is to become indispensable, then to deny service. As we've seen in Ukraine. I could believe that Musk would smuggle a Doom Ray into the satellites, but …

TFA's author's experience is the opposite of your claims. Your claims may be right in _your_ circumstances, but not theirs. > High performance algorithms are quite well documented …

All that atmosphere on Venus is going to look very appealing to a eugenicist billionaire getting 200 rem daily of solar radiation on Mars But the indentured servants on Mars will h…

It would fall under contact law, and the case would hinge on either the ToS is binding, and whether the bot operator is deemed to have accepted the ToS, and whether access inflicts…

Edit: oops, double-posted.

I am aware that acetone is created by metabolic pathways. I foolishly dunked my hands into it for several minutes. I'm confident, with hindsight, that it penetrated my epidermis in…

More like: no message is too obscure to Streisand

It might do, if that city had some level of public trust in its police. I don't know what, say, Los Angeles coppers could commit to record that might lower opinions. Beating confes…

I think i was clear, but I'll try again. You said this: > attacking internet gatekeepers I think we agree that you don't mean all kinds of attack. The agreed exception is bombs. I …

The most common setup for installations by lighting designers, sure. I suspect the vast majority of home led lighting is in lightbulb form, from people replacing incandescents.

...ish. Attacking their monopoly, great. Attacking their workers by bombing an office, not so great. Throwing ever more spam traffic across the tubes isn't a attack, it's marketing…
