It sounds like there must be a standard of privacy for certain apps. I work with UL a lot and they have lists of standards and specifications that help us meet the safety requirements of electronic devices. These standards are then used to

In the book “The Diamond Age” by Neal Stephenson there are mist-like swarms of nanobots that act as an immune system for regions against malicious nanobots. I can picture there being something like this with drones. There are problems to th

The US spent the first 100 years not living up to it’s own ideals. When we started figuring that out, we stopped caring about them altogether. It’s as if things like constitutions and conventions exist to provide the illusion of legitimacy

It will be shorter than this list and if you don’t like it, your a traitor. Edit: i thought this was obviously a joke. I misspelled a word to give it less credibility.

The lesson from history is that we don’t learn from history.

I got thousands of images back by searching “ dhshsjdjfjfjdj” Censorship is disgusting.

I don’t understand how you could have zero results for any two known words in a search engine.

Anyone can do this stuff. Cut a good promo that feeds into the internalized mythology of the target audience and you can get them to believe in it without a hint of skepticism. As far as organic or not, it doesn’t really matter. People need

When I’m on a long trip with friends or family we play a game trying to spot people on their phones by how poorly they are driving. Police are extra points. You would be shocked at how many cops you see looking down at their lap while drivi

If this is widely accepted, would it just be better to describe the exact form of subjective well-being that is studied rather than relying on vague descriptors? One of my biggest issues with the science community is their lack of disciplin

I’m still waiting for public domain Mickey Mouse. Disney only has a couple more years to get those checks sent out.

I appreciate the clarification. I do find it interesting that population density is a factor for understanding these rates over time. Pardon my ignorance, as I am just trying to understand this (not my field of expertise). What is the relat

Software bugs happen. The trick is to have proper management of the release that takes into account the inevitability of bugs while incentivizing bugs to be identified and fixed without the stakeholders of the project being in a position to

I’ve always been a proponent of state actors being held to a higher standard like how the UCMJ is an additional judicial code that members of the military have to follow as well as the normal laws.

It’s more like “if a content creator doesn’t use multiple revenue streams, they don’t deserve the money they left on the table”

Spending time on something people aren’t willing to pay for is always a waste of time, whether you’re writing a book or digging holes. We need to stop assuming that having no copyright means that the work cannot be monetized. It just can’t

Now we’re getting into the simulacrum. If a work is entirely digital, what is the difference between the original and the copy?

An artist isn’t entitled to having their work funded unless someone voluntarily funds it. This does not require legal fiction. Entire genres of music have been created from inexpensive musical equipment and free software. Art has never been

With the state of advertising on youtube, patreon, ad reads and super chats are a more reliable way to monetize than copyrighting the video. Youtube content creators are a good example of people monetizing art without the need for copyright

Patrons. Sell merch. Sell tickets. Super chats. Patents and copyrights are literally ideas put on paper that one is claiming legal dominion over. Unless you are making physical media, your products are your ideas. It’s a tradeoff, not a cur

Most artists work for free. Some of the best artists I know have day jobs. The promise of fame and fortune is a product of an industry that is based on physical media being the only way to share information. The bit has liberated music for

Artist and Dev here. Yes to this. Having an imagination means you can think of different ways to monetize your work that isn’t trying to put an imaginary wall around ideas and information.

The news is more about cutting a good promo than informing the public. Anyone who gets their news from comedians should be laughed at and any comedians who think that they are important should be ignored.

I use cash dollars to buy drugs. There is a massive push to keep dollars operable. Dollars must be a cult.

Having your company being compared to a cult is a good sign. That’s just good branding.

Science is a method for understanding the world, not an ideology. I do give most non scientific people the benefit of the doubt. They are at least trying. What is really disturbing is that this is a real problem within sections of the scien

There is a narrative about journalism being a field by and for the everyman. I think that the exact opposite is true. It has become an institution dominated by the dominant. I like the idea that there is some hard-nosed blue collar people o

Being in this field, I can say that it depends on the setup. If it is directly connected to the electrical system of the car while it is inverting the power, this could void the warranty for the entire battery monitoring system and thus the
