Hey do you have an email that I can reach you at?

I'm a woman, and this raises another point. People get really, really weird about this. Especially if you try to talk about it. Also, women aren't just a target demographic. We're …

No, it can't. And you're missing the point of why we're doing this. Such kind of tracking is powerful not because it helps you keep track of what happened, but what could happen. T…

This article reminds me of the time when I told someone from the tech/rationality community that I was working for a consumer health tech startup that was focused on women's fertil…

It was on my iPhone though?

Clicking on "Balance Sheet" on that archive.is link took me to (what seems to be) a malicious website. Can you please double check and take it down just in case?

> As you say, all fixed without needing net neutrality. They were enforcing their policy of net neutrality. After the courts struck these regulatory options down, the FCC adopted t…

> I have never heard of anything like that happening in the US before 2015. Could you give me some examples of this happening? Okay. Here's a quick timeline of related incidents wh…

> Wake up? Why invent scenarios that everybody knows would never happen? ISPs had 30 years until 2015 to do it, and we were fine. But now of course suddenly they all go crazy and s…

That's a flawed argument as the level of abstraction matters. We can route around FB and Google. Direct message each other through Signal, Telegram, or just setup our own email ser…

Here's a map of the major players carving up territory like cartels; https://www.publicintegrity.org/2015/04/01/16998/us-internet... Notice how almost none of the service areas int…

> Will there be ISPs that offer packages that we have now? (I.E bandwidth only restriction) Cynically? Market segmentation. Segment the market into sub-communities along demographi…

Have I made the claim that it increases the frequency of occurrence? I feel that link is a red herring and obfuscates reality. What I, and all of the papers above, have been referr…

I don't understand the point you're making. Also to be clear, your statement; > Harvey was the first cat3+ hurricane to hit the US in 12 years. is patently false, because in that t…

And that's pretty pointless, because it is clear that while there is seasonable variation in the frequency of occurrence of storms; the shift in the frequency of intensity is a phe…

> The government lined up 50 random people and executed them, to appease a foreign government that was holding 500x people captive. We're talking houses vs houses, not people vs pe…

Except the argument isn't about the frequency of storms nor the occurrence of a severe storm, but the increase in frequency of severe storms. Essentially, if we put more energy int…

A lot of air purifiers come with activates carbon pre-filters that should take care of most volatile organic compounds. I'm not sure how effective they are in practice but this pap…

Look life is filled with lottery tickets with unknowable odds, playing every lottery out there just in case you win is foolish and a misallocation of resources. I'd much rather inv…

Say what you will, but this irrational exuberance is precisely that; irrational. I knew about Bitcoin 6+ years ago, when I read a blog about someone buying a sandwich with this new…

What makes you think they'll stop there? Once you give them that power, do you think they won't use it to make more and more? To squeeze every last dime from your pockets? That's w…

I presume that you've heard about the glorious Project Acoustic Kitty? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acoustic_Kitty
