IMO most of the “exceptional” people in a country “by of and for the people” are hypocrites for waiting on billionaires to fix things How is political capitulation by the masses ex…

Yeah who cares though? I thought the story was apocryphal altogether. I was using it for the concept not the specifics.

That’s because email providers have it backwards. They could deny by default unless the sender is in a contact list. But I mean the messenger list has to be updated to allow people…

The problem is just a presentation one. Email is thought of as grandpas business tool. Look at Spike for IOS. Messengers are just whitelisted users. Email providers or clients simp…

So your messenger app read your mind? Pretty sure you create a whitelist on that too, yes? Of phone numbers, usernames, or …email addresses… depending on what the app uses, that yo…

Nil != 0 :-p

When I’m trying to do computer tasks, I want to get them done, not decipher some design wonks metaphor and hyperbole. You want thinking different? Try trotting out a line that does…

Oh I just remembered neuroscience has revealed we “sync” brainwaves just being in a room with another. We can take on others processing patterns. No reason to assume similar can’t …

The unbearable suffering of being a first worlder with material comfort kings of old could never imagine. What a narcissistic culture we’ve built if such a reality brings “pain”.

Yep, maybe. This is an endlessly circular discussion without falsifiable experiment. Which is my whole point. You have fun falling into the abyss. I’m gonna go see what reality is …

So all the people alive that are uneducated in US history can’t step foot in America unless they learn about George Washington? It’s literally impossible for us to be where are wit…

Dogs and smell were one example. Maybe it’s sight related. Maybe it’s electromagnetic field sensitivity. I’m not seeking meaning, I’m seeking falsifiable experiment to conclusively…

Many online retailers have UPS pickup as part of the service. Amazon for sure, but I’ve used apps from clothing stores directly and some provided the option. Unfortunately that was…

To the store? Not me. With a free UPS pickup because it was included with the purchase? Me.

Evolution is a property of reality itself and imbued humans with the abilities you highlight. We’ve done absolutely nothing to “beat” reality. Personally I’m leaning into the idea …

I think I confused which feature they were talking about. It’s far fetched maybe but dogs can smell Parkinson’s and cancer before the person develops medically detectable symptoms.…

Same motive you have when smelling something rotten; embedded biological response.

I didn’t mean “hide it”. It can exist in books but why must we point to it in public today? The truth is humans behaved as they needed to survive given the world at the time. The r…

I did not see you propose a solution so much as regurgitate one.

I grew up rural. I buy into a lot of the “bird” wisdom. Science is discovering dogs can smell disease. Our modern world isn’t more complex, just more distracting with asinine theor…

Given that Facebook as a UX has become user hostile, they are absolutely banking on clueless masses assuming “big data” is being used to produce magic. Larry Page was one of the ke…

To be fair the gerontocracy is pretty much saying that to all millennials in the US. They invested all those years ago and we damn well best recognize their sacrifice with eternal …

The market compensates the future for real consumption? Or are you thinking in purely abstract models? I’m more of a physical sciences type. I feel no obligation to coddle complete…

Historically correct but do we need to tell that part of the story going forward? Can we not set the idea of “human rights” on its own pedestal and decide what those are and carry …
