In a lot of ways, the statistical processing is a novel form of information retrieval. So the issue is somewhat like if 20 years ago Google was indexing the web, then decided to just rehost all the indexed content on their own servers and m

If reading something is hurting your feelings, you can stop reading it. Twitter even provides mute, block, and whatnot functionality to prevent specified things from even showing up in your line of sight to begin with. And if the app is rea

Would you mind going into more details about what you see as the OLED downsides? Is it just Apple’s variant, or the broader product category?

Why did you do this thing 2 weeks ago? vs Why didn’t you do this thing 2 weeks ago that you were under no legal obligation to do? Seems like a significant and valid distinction even if what they communicate to the intended audience is l

Human habitation and influence on the landscape in the Amazon seems far more extensive in scope and duration than previously thought, based on recent discoveries. https://duckduckgo.com/?q=Amazon+mounds+archaeology&t=ffi

In considering these things, affordances must be made to the new abilities made possible by the computational tools now at our disposal. Following your line of reasoning if it is perfectly legal to walk into a coffee shop and sit down and l

You seem to have misunderstood what I was meaning to convey. I wasn’t even meaning to say much in the way of the virtues or not of piracy, or the legitimacy of copyright in it’s present form. If Google, YouTube, Dropbox didn’t exist you co

Without Google, YouTube, and Dropbox, copyrighted material would just be where the copyright holder deemed and authorized it to be. (save some amount of piracy of course) It would actually be more in line with the “Internet idea” of a de

Hmm What’s your sense about SETI or the Fermi paradox, if a signal becomes so vastly diluted just within our solar system? I’m sure the SETI people have thought about this and made various calculations, but with the inverse square law and t

Interesting thanks. It may not be representative of a majority but it seems pretty widespread, and it is representative of a type of problem led lights are prone to, at least right now. I’ve had issues with household LEDs that needed repla

Last sentence is a fine idea, it is also possible to move toward developing a society where “potential attackers” is a thought much more distant in people’s minds.

Very excited to see the headline, but the “hack” was highly underwhelming, disappointing, disconcerting. We need to be reducing light pollution for the benefit of humans and other life forms, not just telescope machines. The solution is les

That’s an interesting point of reference. I have thought about what a big change it was to go from a sheet music and live performance only world to a world with audio recordings. You’ve identified the early electromagnetic signals era, the

I too think it is interesting to look back in time using the generation metric. Also interesting to think about a generation still alive, those born in the 1920s and 30s and the huge changes in the state of the world seen in those lifetime

Oops, yeah when I said mRNA shots, I meant the spike protein ones, as those are currently the only ones. I didn’t mean to imply a whole class of products. I would think if there were to be anymore there would be much more skepticism and que

It’s not a rumour, it’s just an issue of semantics you’re debating here. I’m calling a situation where a new gene is introduced into the body by means of injection and this new gene in the overall body system causes a new behaviour in cells

The modification is an addition not an edit, if that helps to clarify. Putting this particular mRNA, a gene, into your body modifies the set of genes in your body, because now there is a new one, and it evokes a response in a way that eatin
