You get a lot of features for very cheap compared to other systems. That's the best way I can describe it. Bazel is basically cross platform out of the box if one is careful with it: that includes a consistent build organization across

Proton (Steam's custom WINE) is really really good (you can turn it on for all games). Of course it still breaks games that use excessive DRM, but I avoid those games anyway.

As long as it doesn't get too hot from emissions first. If we get up to +3C or +4C we are talking about loosing habitability in large parts of the world for trees (and probably humans). https://www.nationalgeographic.com&#x2

IRC wasn't targeted at children. IRC required effort and understanding to access. IRC wasn't in your pocket all the time. IRC didn't include video and picture taking capabilities built in (one would have to work at it to send

Or we could plant more trees. Seriously, of all the crazy carbon capture ideas proposed, planting trees still beats them for effectiveness. Geoengineering will make lots of money for whoever ends up doing it, but on the scale we are talking

Except it adds context about the child abuse on Kik and some of the issues facing it. It's half blogspam, but it isn't entirely.

Most apps have child abuse problems. Of all the examples of how modern corporations externalize risk and internalize profits, I think the child abuse for ad revenue on content is particularly egregious (one example link here is that the chi

A 100 million people in the developing world are probably going to die as a result, that number ticks higher ever year as the impact becomes more severe. Climates changing means ecosystems are going to change. Food stuffs will disappear, lo

That opioids are addictive and that a company that lied about that was probably going to face a bunch of lawsuits. I'm pretty sure that was obvious to many people. But it was probably especially obvious to the people lying about it to

There are sea bacteria that "communicate" in the giga-hertz frequency. But the general point being that large portions of the range are used, like the visible spectrum and the thermal spectrum. x-rays aren't a unique physical

Fossil fuels are primarily biological in origin. Certainly we extract the energy in a much different way, but that energy capacity is there biologically (slow burn, turns out high speeds aren't actually that useful in nature). As for w

No, but it's generally understood to be very unlikely [0]. And if something as well studied as markets exhibited NP in P behavior we would have exploited it by now (FWIW, markets appear to be an efficient approximation algorithm like e

I mean more counter examples are great but any one aware of NP=/=P should be able to call bullshit on market's predictive ability.

One problem they do have is - compared to discord - a poor strategy for monetizing non-enterprise communities. Discord will allow individuals to upgrade their discord plan (for small benefits everywhere) and then they can give a boost to a

Sure, but we can correct for that, we have the ability to reliably store copies of the information in DNA (a person's full genome is only a few gigabytes) with error correction (or at least verification).

Exactly. Relatedly, we are still evolving, and social policy is part of what dictates this.

Because a significant portion of those changes will conflict, and one will have to go back to each commit that made the changes to figure out the intention of the change. Easier to back port each set of changes while knowing what the point

There are also variants like questing (main writer(s) and a community of players who vote on direction and sometimes write short story add-ons), see SpaceBattles and SufficientVelocity forums. A lot of it is fan fiction (like most online wr

Well in the case of GPL it's to build a public commons. Part of GPL is to ensure that that public commons is maintained (it can be profited from, but not exploited). This article is likely referring to mostly permissive open source, wh

That argument only has wings if the code in question is licensed with GPL. Besides the point this person is making is that open source developers should start selling their stuff instead.

It's likely because of those dark patterns that they can use it in the first place given how walled garden app stores treat apps that do allow for actual anonymous or distributed messaging systems.

This almost reminds me of the Foundation series. Where with enough math/statistics one can extract the future. Except here applied to 6th graders, distilling the information they had heard, and breaking an operation that way.
