Why save cycles today if you can borrow tomorrow?

Doesn't the "enough control" part come from the Internet's addiction factor? As in, wouldn't software designed to work just as well without constant Internet "solve" this?

Does China have something like the Cuban sneakernet, or is there a clear reason why that wouldn't work there?

But sufficiency is observer-dependent. "This is my (IMHO sufficiently simulated) love for you!"

Where I live road law is about safety, not about "attitude correction". Culture is the thing that fosters positive attitudes and respect. You really think cyclists are trying to bully you when they run a light? What's the lim

Inner alchemy feels like that as well! "AI? Well, I'm still trying just to reach human intelligence!"

I don't understand why people so seldomly go straight for the knowledge. It seems pretty obvious by now that knowledge is the key itself. Though subjective sciences like Kabbalah help.

I'm not sure "I was raised not to rat on friends" holds up in court.

It's a lot harder to kill a pedestrian with a bike than with a car, though. Cars are a lot more lethal than bikes, and most countries have road designs that are bike-hostile. You have to be a very assertive and alert cyclist there to n

If the routers have public keys it's possible, then the client has to determine (some or all points on) the route. I think future protocols will track use and payment via client-provided keys which are somehow linked to their ISP.

To me it seems to be caused by the technological imbalance caused by DRM. If people have social media clients that are wholly in their control (to e.g. integrate a bunch of different personas, platforms, and to have total control over the p

The societal facade without computers at least requires a semblance of common sense, good manners and physical health.

The destination IP could be hidden opportunistically? Send the destination IP for high-priority requests and retry without the destination. Low-priority/long-latency requests would always hide the destination. ... I can't articula

Any assurances that this won't seriously disturb the earth's ecology and human health, or do we no longer bother with that when manipulating the whole planet?

I was hoping for a Hellraiser-looking network of pins sticking into the skull, but they actually sew right into the brain-skull membrane! Why exactly is this necessary? Does this fulfill an existing need or does it require a few decades of

Pizzagate and Qanon are not conspiracies, they are theories about conspiracies. A conspiracy theory is just a non-mainstream body of information describing a system of political entities.

No. Previews can not be disabled and I have disabled "next episode"-autoplay for my user profile. It'd be too weird if this was the other way around for a non-Dutch public, so I will assume you made an error formulating that

It's configurable in the web version. More of a TV-with-closed-software problem.

I think I'll wait for Web 4, with three dimensions and time. I hope it's as fun and conducive to creativity as MineCraft!

Actually, it would be somewhat consensual if it were a setting with a time lock after the first change (e.g. you explicitly commit to the settings you choose for a set time). And there's zero issue with limiting ad distribution, you do

Derived user data is still user data? Up to the point where the client sends something mathematically indistinguishable from random noise to the server. At which point it's useless except for yet-to-be-discovered quantum effects. Which

If you notice bugs, you should do more maths and get tweaking. Wait... something's not quite right there. On a more serious note: the biggest barrier to correctness I've encountered is doing things I don't understand. I also

I already love anytime algorithms! I wish I could apply it to dishwashing. Re.: an algorithm for solving boredom: step 1. tell human operator "I'm bored!", step 2. execute task or, if no task before deadline, proceed to step

3rd order thinkers see direct causes, indirect causes, direct effects and indirect effects, which establishes the need for setting up an internal feedback loop to strengthen the causes classified as direct (coming from within) and to power

Can't we do without linearity assumptions by using statistics that let the computer say "I'm more dissatisfied with the amount of time is taking than with the lack of exact solution, and that conclusion satisfies me for now.

There's a distinction, the cakes are both custom-made and religiously themed. Say a baker hand-makes dog-shaped cakes, among other cakes. The baker loves dogs. A client comes in and tells him he hates dogs and wants to order a cake for

To the contrary, the supreme court justified the baker. Forced creation is as bad as forced speech.

Pure truths one of the most important tools in developing self-knowledge. IMO going to an astrologer is akin to using a prostitute blindfolded. You want to understand yourself, spirituality or even the universe? Study the laws of nature, th
