We should have a peer-to-peer DNS driven by some consensus system like blockchain. Why do we allow critical pieces of internet infrastructure to be centralized?

Do you see how labeling a slap with the larger class of physical violence, which encompasses all sorts grievous acts, makes the rather innocent crime seem much more severe? This is a huge problem. It's a slap. Not a vicious beat down.

Why don't you make a free speech religion? Has anyone ever tried this?

People aren't perfect. I don't think anyone commits a crime after performing a full calculation of the consequences. I think you demonstrate an important trend with your comment. The desire to label things and ignore circumstances

Yes, there has always been a social layer to regulating behavior. In this sense, the world has almost become one village where you cannot escape your social offences, no matter where you go on earth. Also, a video or archive of a tweet does

In addition to government interference in free speech, all actions/words that offend have potentially life devastating consequences in this age of the digital permanent record. Suppose you slap someone in a moment of uncontrolled anger

Amazon's stock has fluctuated with political focus on the company. It dropped for a whole month this year I believe -- I don't have the figures on hand. You are right that many Americans have a greedy consumer mindset, but also ma

Do you have data to support your claims?

I'm sure you're the type of person that thinks poems are written to solve some sort of problem. Not all human communication is about expressing some solution to a problem. We can communicate sentiment and points of view as well.

Drama? What about the epidemic suicides and drug overdoses happening in this country? What about the absolute destruction of rural communities by monopolies emboldened by the lack of antitrust enforcement? The people of this country are bei

We were warned not to feed man to the machine, yet that's exactly what we did. I guess everyone that died fighting for this country did so to create a bunch of billionaires and slaves to serve them. Our nation was paid for by the blood

It's a good warning. I would only consider that condescending if I had some insecurity about my abilities.

I quit social media and after a while I couldn't even make sense of why I was there to begin with. "There was no value lost... what the hell was I doing on there all this time?" I never had any "glowing" experience

It's amazing. No one could ever do something like this with an imperative language!

Amazing, thanks! It always amazes me how natural Haskell is for some people. Some seem to see the simplest solution with so little effort while I still struggle with almost embarrassingly simple things. I wish I would have picked up Haskell

It's just mind boggling how universal these concepts are and how they show up in surprising ways. As a recent example, I've been learning the basics of composing music in Haskell with Euterpea[1] and wanted to make a function whic

Edward Snowden being treated like a criminal instead of a hero really opened my eyes. He's a patriot who tried to warn us about a government agency reaching far beyond the powers granted to it by the people...and he is called a traitor

I do the same, but it's not a protest, it's because I literally can't pay. They have sued me though, and they won, but nothing happened after the lawsuit closed. This country is headed towards mad max territory.Yippee ki yay

He was against writing... in 370 BC. Although, having seen the blank faces of students in lecture halls mindlessly taking notes, I know there's some truth to it. When a good professor lectures, there's a lot of information express

Thanks for the paper! I just learned the basics of Parsec[1] in Haskell and was shocked how effortlessly I could construct a parser. Learning Haskell made me fall in love with programming again. [1]: https://www.cnblogs.com/

People felt the same way about Einstein's cosmic intuition. Things evolve in stages, from intuition and anecdotes to more formal developments or refutations. I didn't say handwriting analysis is a fully legitimate area. I said as

I write a lot. I can tell from my own experience that what I'm feeling when I write translates into my handwriting in subtle ways. You may object to some particular method that I'm unaware of, but I don't think "handwrit

Billions of neurons and we think we can reduce the nuances of our complex system into words such as "knowledge" and "understanding." To me, those terms are so vague, they don't mean anything.
