You could come up with a scenario, sure. Bad in law though. [1] Another scenario you could come up with is a future climate catastrophe, where millions die and/or are displaced bec…

Are you seriously saying that there are two sides to the whether women are chattel or not? What's funny is that your specious analogies try to equate this argument -- for more free…

Has anybody done any work on mapping die shots onto the microarchitecture features? The only thing I've found is work by this guy (about a decade old now): http://chip-architect.co…

Thanks for the suggestion. You are right of course.

I'd say, speech leading to violence is like pornography; you know it when you see it. And I would refer you to the examples I have in the comment. Given the subjective nature of th…

Yes, and as I said above: good for Twitter. However, I notice that you don't have much to say about my argument against speech leading to violence. What do you think about that.

I see a lot of people arguing about free speech and censorship here. I'm not sure how anybody is being censored here -- given that we are only debating verification. People are not…

How is it black box? The OP posted a link to an article; in the discussion, I talk about how the tone of the article sounds reasonable to me. And, then I even give examples from th…

Ignoring the gratuitous insult, here's the NCA 2014 report (the report itself is about the impact of climate change; Chapter 2 lays out the case for climate change caused by humans…

> I don't see anything constructive about his tone, nor do I find any new ideas in his writing. Umm... the article is making the case for how Oklahoma is failing it's people. A cas…

The argument was right below the line you replied to. Perhaps try reading? A google search for "case for climate change" would also give you meaningful results. But, you already kn…

Well said. I'd add Soylent to that list -- they started with sustainable food and now they are pushing Soylent Drink which is basically a throwaway bottle for every 400 calories.

You are right about Android and Xerox's GUI. (There were others who were thinking in a similar direction (Openmoko for one), and I would argue that both of these things would have …

This is not about Android or iPhone. Or Google or whoever. I'll happily acknowledge that Apple sells well thought out products. I stand by what I said earlier. There's too much of …

> Apple is one of the most important and influential tech companies in the world right now. No. You are confusing admired with influential.

Ye, Gods. Yet another Apple story. They are a for profit (and quite a lot of it) corporation that makes shiny gadgets. Why do we keep talking about them incessantly? If we are not …
