Viewing profile — self-diversity

I wonder how hard it would be to determine the reliability of using extraneous punctuation as a signal of unhinged prose.

Well and according to metrics, it's also raising the standard of living for the world's poorest, who have been leaving poverty at record rates. It's a shame the evidence doesn't su…

"You won't understand it for a few years, you have not yet developed the cognitive capacity and you don't understand the basic concepts. Go watch a Star War"

In the current Internet culture, it's very important to constantly signal to the world that you have the correct political stance. You will often find such people espousing the not…

It's very important to insist on the correct narrative at every juncture, otherwise people might look into the possibility that those who evince symptoms of mental illness (such as…

I've never understood the drive toward some notion of commercial-free purity the gaming world seems to embody. Is it due to the heavy teenage boy presence that underlies so many ot…

The endpoints in question are not typically used by humans driving a browser, so these objections don't seem applicable.

I can only imagine being frightened by this if I held a large stake in Google. Do you have a different reason?

I imagine it would be easier to accept your assertion of anti-competitive behavior if it weren't trivial to completely ignore Apple for your phone needs, or if there were some sort…

I have this weird dream, and I am well aware it will never come true, that people will learn how to aim their political anger correctly. There's enough of a problem to be solved an…

Yeah you can tell the Trump-Russia connections are not a quixotic quagmire by how the stories continue to be filled with weasel words and spend 100% of their column inches not pres…

It is a point of view that can only be held by people who feel like their opinions on how Apple should spend its money are valid, which is utterly ridiculous in every way that isn'…

It's important to use feelings to divide people into classes, because that's one easy way we can justify hatred and dehumanization for ourselves.

But you're incorrect, and the word "instead" in your original post is what makes you incorrect. We did get "Shakespeare to the masses" for whatever that's worth in general. It's no…

Mostly off-topic, but I'm curious, do you believe "fake news" is both new and also a real problem?

Your edit makes me wonder if you realize consciously that your rant is completely orthogonal to net neutrality even with your epplanation, and you're just doubling down on delibera…

Viewing the investment as insignificant because the investor has more money is a seriously foolish perspective that ought to be fought against instead of expressed

That was true a decade ago. The tooling has caught up in most languages, so it's trivial to embed your SQL in application code and use it in an environmentally independent matter (…

We all want things, but I sure as shit don't care what giant, rich ad corporations want from my computing equipment. Their needs aren't important to me at all, even though they cur…

That's actually a pretty great argument that software patents are a good idea for the US, it prevents foreign copycat competition from soaking up the market on us.

I'd love to remind the author of the original headline (it appears to have been changed) that there's a huge difference between not understanding something now and knowing you'll n…

This is not really a contradiction. Automation will indeed replace humans in millions of jobs, low-paying and otherwise, but until that process reaches a critical tipping point, we…

Nope. Especially since many of us don't have piles of irrational hatred for it.

it's important to note, (western) government decisions already are algorithmic. We simply aren't privy to many of the steps involved, and our ability to influence outcomes is limit…

Do you have a belief that politicians somehow do know these things well enough to make decisions across this spectrum on your behalf?
