Not voting against evil is indeed voting for evil and that is what the net majority did. The minority doesn't have a charismatic leader to rally around so we don't have a "movement…

What a great quote from PKD! He had so much insight into what the future would become.

So there was no terrorism or crime or trafficking or money laundering prior to encrypted comms?

It is also frustrated that this was meant to be a temporary hack during WWII that never went away. People should just get $$ into their HSA from their employer and but whatever pla…

Serious question: Wouldn't it be better to just have them always be on with red light that is much less disruptive to wildlife?

Apologies, I meant that the UI shows the up and down arrows in the blocks in a way that is unintuitive to me.

The high/lo feels unintuitive to me .. Down on a P makes me thing R-Z not A-O. I actually think left/right is a more clear visual and mental model. I like the game and it is quite …

It feels to me like I'm stuck doing code reviews for a junior dev all day so I use it as little as possible and mostly to look for things I may have missed.

Yeah, wood ants are particularly prolific in these areas. They are quite amazing creatures.

Undecided just did an episode on a waste heat machine that is being slowly rolled out to industry. The founder of the company is also the guy who invented the Super Soaker. https:/…

What is the main success for an Ethereum project that solves something that can't be solved without crypto or in a hugely more efficient/better way? I'm a crypto skeptic and I've n…

If you think you have long Covid, you should do some research about CIRS (Chronic Inflammation Response Syndrome). It is a condition caused by exposure to toxic mold from water dam…

At my company, non technical Managers (including marketing folks) are posting Claude and ChatGPT responses in bug tickets with the "fix" for the bug. No explanation of what the exp…

I feel the same but the question I struggle most with is this: "Does it matter when the people who are going to come along and maintain this are just going to use AI to fix or adju…

I think it is hard to call IG and WA bets. He simply bought the competition that was set to wreck his platform.
