aiyodev··on In 'Cyberpunk 2077,' the Only Truly Punk Move Is Not to Play
My favorite part of game is also the things. I am so glad I get to experience game and then share my totally authentic and uncompensated opinion with fellow game enthusiasts on world wide web.
aiyodev··on I now have an Oculus paperweight
Meanwhile Facebook refuses to do anything about accounts promoting genocide in countries like Myanmar.
aiyodev··on South Park creators have new political satire series with AI-generated deepfakes
I think you're right. It sounds like their plans fell through:

aiyodev··on Zuckerberg Throttled Traffic to Progressive News Sites
Meanwhile Facebook is being used to commit genocide in countries like Myanmar and Zuckerberg chooses to do nothing about it.
aiyodev··on How to Hide from a Drone
Missing from this conversation is the use of drones as weapons. We’re used to thinking of drones as tools of government surveillance. But ISIS and Iranian backed groups have been using off-the-shelf drones with 3d printed parts to make airborne IEDs. It’s not hard to imagine white supremacist militia groups using them in the United States to carry out terrorist attacks.
aiyodev··on Apple Terminates Epic Games' Developer Account
Right. Because the tens of millions of people buying Apple products are all ignorant rubes, not informed consumers purchasing superior products. /s
aiyodev··on Apple Terminates Epic Games' Developer Account
If you think Apple owners don’t know about this, you are mistaken. Curating the App Store is one of the main reasons why I buy Apple products. I want them to tax and restrict developers.
aiyodev··on Google is apparently taking down all/most Fediverse apps from the Play Store
Remember when Google tried their own federated communication app and failed? Maybe they’re just jealous.
aiyodev··on Show HN: PayPal emailed me today about 2001 request
There’s a software company in Seattle that won’t let you fill out their online application without entering your high school GPA. I suspect they do this to discriminate against older applicants.
aiyodev··on Accused spy Alexander Yuk Ching Ma evidently beat the polygraph
Polygraphs are comic book technology. The first one was invented by the guy who created Wonder Woman and they were popularized by a commercial for Gillette razors. It's as ridiculous as determining guilt by batarang or kryptonite. It's amazing we still allow them in law enforcement.
aiyodev··on Herman Cain's verified twitter account shares posthumous attack on Biden/Harris
At a minimum they should take away the verified status.
aiyodev··on Pentagon’s UFO unit will make some findings public
> Davis, who now works for Aerospace Corp., a defense contractor, said he gave a classified briefing to a Defense Department agency as recently as March about retrievals from “off-world vehicles not made on this earth.”

> Davis said he also gave classified briefings on retrievals of unexplained objects to staff members of the Senate Armed Services Committee on Oct. 21, 2019, and to members of the Senate Intelligence Committee two days later.

aiyodev··on WebTorrent Desktop 0.23
You can download from webtorrent nodes as well as bittorent, you can use it without forwarding any ports, and you can start watching a video as soon as you start downloading it instead of waiting until it’s done.
aiyodev··on Are planets with oceans common in the galaxy? It's likely, NASA scientists find
We keep proving factors in the Drake equation are much higher than predicted. Maybe life isn’t precarious at all but civilization is.
aiyodev··on Push-Button Installer of macOS Guests in VirtualBox for Windows, Linux, macOS
Apple puts users before developers which is why they have such a large market share. If you can't reach their high standards, just develop for another platform. There's no need to whine on HN about it.
aiyodev··on Jack Dorsey is giving Andrew Yang $5M to build the case for a basic income
Studies suggest the opposite. UBI does not cause inflation.
aiyodev··on University of California Will Stop Using SAT, ACT
The real reason for the change is to exclude more Asians.

History is a circle.

aiyodev··on Coronavirus Is Making Universal Basic Income Look Better
That's Scott Santens. Not just a "someone".
aiyodev··on Coronavirus Is Making Universal Basic Income Look Better
False. Read this article:

> An inflation of the money supply is by definition inflation.

Not true. Inflation refers to changes in the price of goods in services, not changes in the money supply. This is basic economics anybody who graduated high school should know.

aiyodev··on Coronavirus Is Making Universal Basic Income Look Better
UBI does not cause inflation.
aiyodev··on Coronavirus Is Making Universal Basic Income Look Better
Also, has everyone forgotten that, until relatively recently, half the population stayed at home to raise children, cook, and clean the house? Going from one-paycheck homes to two-paycheck homes and letting daycare raise our children hasn't made us wealthier, happier, smarter, or healthier.

We should allow UBI to take us back to the way things were before but without the gender discrimination. We should be encouraging fathers and mothers to spend more time looking after their children, not telling people their labor has no value unless they're contributing to GDP.

aiyodev··on Reddit rolls out community currencies on Ethereum
Why this is a recipe for disaster: 92 of the top 500 reddit subs are controlled by just 5 accounts.

aiyodev··on React Native for Windows and Mac
Hit me up on Google Wave and I'll explain it to you.
aiyodev··on Universal basic income seems to improve employment and wellbeing
It might be common sense to you and me but a lot of people doubt it. Studies like this are important.
aiyodev··on IPFS 0.5
Again. If you're not going to bother to answer the specific question I asked, do not bother replying.

END OF CONVERSATION

aiyodev··on IPFS 0.5
If you're not going to answer a question, don't bother replying.
aiyodev··on IPFS 0.5
That's "how it works", not "what it can be used for". Regular websites can be designed to handle high traffic. Regular websites can make backups.

What new thing does ipfs make possible that would make users install the software to use it?

aiyodev··on IPFS 0.5
Can someone provide an example of a service that ipfs enables that can’t be provided on the regular web?
aiyodev··on Scientists monitored brains replaying memories in real time
I think this is good place to remind everyone that your brain doesn't actually remember events. It only remembers the last time you remembered it. Every time you access a memory it's a lossy rewrite influenced by the emotions you are currently feeling and other memories you associate with it.
