Not who you're replying to, but pretty much.

Search is the problem that solves all other problems.

But ironically that's what causes the failure of the alternative platform they've moved to.

Right, you deactivated your account, but when was the last time you visited Reddit?

>The only thing I do differently is that I only subscribe to subs I like and live happily inside my filter bubble

I'm pretty sure that's how Reddit is supposed to work.

>Most importantly, the audience should expect and accept a delay

Demanding that people accept the shortcomings of your product/service as a fact of the Universe isn't going to get you far.

>hungry for instant gratification

How many hours of video content are uploaded to the web every second? Life is too short to wait around to see if your video is worth watching in full.

Thought this was going to be about the KDE file explorer, which is an excellent piece of software, btw.

For the foreseeable tenure of the current board of executives.

Without the right to exclusively profit from the final product, are pharmaceutical companies gonna invest all the resources and engage in all the bureaucracy-navigation it takes to develop a new drug?

A hobby of mine is to wander into libertarian communities and ask if there's such a thing as "intellectual property," then walk out whistling.

Doggerland was a "city" in any way we understand the term.

There's a bait-and-switch happening here.

This is a great podcast. Loved the Atlantis episodes.

I don't think a product that creates its own demand is against any of the Official Rules Of Capitalism.

>If someone living today called themselves a capitalist would you expect them to be involved in "forcible seizure and defence"?

Do you consider executives of, oh let's say, the Coca-Cola Company, to be capitalists?

A few years ago I decided that all of the encryption in the world isn't going to protect you from state-actors.

Even if your software is perfectly implemented (it won't be), your hardware is mostly a black box.

The criminal world offers a fascinating glimpse into what pure, unrestrained capitalism would look like.

If we look at what trading corporations do in times and places where they can get away with it, we see:

-Aggressive acquisition of natural resources to protect the supply chain

-Use of armed force to gather and protect said natural resources and the geographic territory wherein they're contained.

-Use of armed force to protect and expand market capitalization (markets, trade routes etc)

This is pretty much identical to what a drug cartel does on a day-to-day basis.

>Do a sequel to (or remake of) a well known movie, hire a star, use the standard playbook (never skip the „all is lost“ moment for dramatic effect) and add a love scene

That's been going on since the first wagons rolled into Hollywood.

I'm pretty sure even Shakespeare was doing a 16th Century, theatrical equivalent.

Looks like biological systems are kind of complicated.

So when was the last time you were on Reddit?

I haven't seen the original paper (maybe that should've been linked instead?), but the MIT press release is dripping with "Not it's saying aliens..." innuendo.

It's kind of hypocritical to use nod-wink-aliens-clickbait to drum up media attention, then ridicule the first rube who asks if aliens could possibly be involved.

Thank you! It was the first time posting my code here, so I was kinda nervous, haha.

The only political expression of hers I'm aware of is that she says she's a communist, and I don't think that will prevent her getting a statue.

I can never resist bringing up that the company's owner died on one of these things back in 2010:

Fortunately it will now be up to his patients and colleagues to decide that.

Scott Alexander is reaching Scott Aaronson levels of hysterics.

The issue is that those two people are one and the same.

Many of Scott's patients would find his writings to be very relevant information.

I guess it will be a mark of status among celebrities that one hasn't had to do this.

Yes, thank you. I hope to never see anyone I respect on that site.

Something about this really skeeves me out, and I'm having a hard time articulating why.

The whole thing just seems really cheap (in a non-monetary) and seedy.

I guess it's just the final nail in the coffin of old Hollywood stardom, where stars may as well have been on another plane of existence.
