It’s almost as if mentioning it, you’re implying that the majority of businesses close to you are not inclusive. If this is the case, go ahead and mention it to stand out.

Otherwise you’re just trying to get brownie points in how cool and progressive you are while solving your imagined problem.

For me, I like how a simple algorithm that can be written in a couple lines, with a simple pattern, can expand into a very long pattern essentially out of thin air.

This is one prime example: https://conwaylife.com/wiki/Methuselah

It also looks very organic which I’m sure appeals to an intersection between bits and bytes and reality.

You’re more likely to get cut with a dull knife. It can cause it to slip.

Technology is fine. It’s this artificial cookie-cutter society we’re forcing on everyone. We have a mental health and education problem.

The tech isn’t the issue, it’s the people who feel the need to use it for negative purposes.

Limiting tech is just a bandaid.

Don't forget the security implications. If only root can run the compression/deletion script, all the compromised user can do is try to write to theirs. If you get into writing other users' data, that sucks, but nothing is deleted or exfiltrated, and the log is baked in. Break into root, well good luck with that on any system.

At the benefit of a stronger economy.

Google can store the data, compile a list of suggestions from it, and never see it.

You will still need a static IP for SMTP. Dynamic IP assignment and NAT traversal are the largest hurdles to self-hosting reliably. DNS updates are great, but then you're still relying on a large centralized DNS provider. You can host nameservers yourself, but then you're back to the Static IP issue.

I’ve always heard this referred to as incestuous amplification.

Expiration dates work for things like that. No need to store social media posts for longer than a few days. Transient data doesn’t need to be permanently pinned. It’s not a pure archive. Certain sites can be archived.

If only IPFS worked a little bit faster. It would be nice to have a browser where you can publish static content to IPFS and pin it through tor.

It’s a shame that JavaScript can’t create peer to peer connections, not that most home routers would work with NAT anyway.

This is all by design. The vast majority of the web could be hosted by each user reserving 2GB of space and distributing the published content.

An SEL4 kernel based os, but they’re few and far between for desktop use for some reason.

In the majority of cases you maybe correct. But there are 12yr olds out there that don’t share your motives for building an explosive.

Personal responsibility is great when it works with proper parenting. You’re going to have to deal with the real world when schools around America start blowing up to match the ideal.

Maybe, but necessary in certain situations. Abusive or misleading content (definition up for debate) can be censored to prevent harm. If I have a blueprint for a homemade explosive that a 12 year old can make in a day, should that be easily accessible?

Censorship only exists because people are more lazy than they are nefarious. The other aspect is protecting idiots from themselves.

Whether that’s right or wrong, I’m not the judge.

You don't have to get rid of it, just treat as what it is.. a negative addiction pattern. As it is right now, it's a first class member of society in the US. Treat it more like regulated substances like tobacco. Allowed, but with big warnings and not in plain view. I don't know about your harm statistics, but I've personally seen friends irresponsibly lose money after legalization. It used to be much more manageable before.

It amazes me that sports betting is allowed to persist as is. It’s an addictive hobby with similar detriments to addictive substances, yet advertising to children is ok.

If you go to Europe, you’re probably familiar with betting parlors. They shittify any town they take over, filling up with lonely men losing their money.

Online just hides it a little better.

It’s needs a republic structure. Every person joins a small default group of random strangers, their moderation group. Small enough that bad actors can be fished out. This is part of a larger group where these individual silos get their own trust relationship. If a small group starts misbehaving, the individuals in that group get reassigned. If the individuals who have moved also correlate with a lack of trust in their next group, they get flagged and put on probation. We can’t have global trust until local trust has been established.

Opinions based on trauma are rarely logical.

Welcome to the world of supply chain poisoning. Go deep enough and you uncover local stores near defense companies and military bases which are targeted to contain modified inventory in the off chance someone buys it from said location. You might have some unused phone home chips in your coffee machine and not even know it.

A locked down encrypted at rest data center is much easier to break into when you can reboot a server with a usb and be in.

Diseases without the possibility of animal testing are going to take a long time.

How about we start with the largest wealth holding: property.

One individual can own an entire town and charge people to live there indefinitely. This gets passed via inheritance and no longer equates to the initial building value.

On a micro scale, the timeframe for owning investment properties should be limited. They provide a service, but over a long period of time the owner is simply a leech.

“Write me a web application.” Sure, here are some Microsoft and Google products to do so!

Not all filtering has to be prohibitive, just unnoticed.

When a company has unreasonable deadlines set by outside entities, breaking rules is a necessary part of functioning.

Right, so stop teaching chemistry in schools. Make sure there are only 3 experts allowed to work on the field, and lock their knowledge away from humanity. That will solve it. While you're at it, take away all the guns and any computers that can be used to hack. God forbid dangerous knowledge ever becomes available again. Almost forgot, people really shouldn't learn how to drive cars either. Very very dangerous.

Practical solution. Fingerprint the conversations and images. Do something naughty, go to jail.

The timing and placement of your statement comes off as a challenge to the original statement. It appears you’re implying that what we’re doing today is ok because it is part of a natural process. While true, we also have agency to transcend the natural process or perpetuate it.

Just because it has happened, doesn’t mean we should endorse and accelerate it. What we do determines the future.

Can’t beat em so join em? You’re framing this as a capitalist competition. Non-profits don’t care if their “competitors” win market share.

Newsflash. Altman is no Steve Jobs.

In most cases they do not. We haven’t had unfiltered media for a very long time now. Your voice is blocked from a large audience by many many barriers if you mention any forbidden keywords together.

It’s ok to be wrong and insightful. It’s not ok to attribute it incorrectly.
