beam bot, im guessing the law would not be on your side.

i think that's the point. it's all a big club and we're not part of it.

would be neat to see an active demo rather than creating everything from scratch, which i'm certainly not doing.

looks reminiscent of Moves, which got stabbed to the heart by Facebook who immediately sucked out their blood (data) and let them die. what are your thoughts on the matter?

> the rules are different for corporations as there is plausible deniability for the board

can you expound on this?

> jpmorgon might have to pay a 1B fine, but they might have made more than 5B in the transaction.

why don't they just make ill gotten gains illegal?

which is absurdly high of a percentage to have people think they are skilled when they are lucky.

if there are 10 million robinhood "traders" doing their tenth big trade today, then 9,765 of them could make a fortune by luck and think they are geniuses.

The best method I've found to increase positive engagement is actually to just have a fake 'x' such that clicking it just triggers the ad. I've noticed this more frequently on the web nowadays, and based on the click through rates, the target demographic is absolutely _obsessed_ over this feature.

isnt that the scam website

because you expected it to be of limited supply and to run out? how do you gauge if that'll be the case?

> There is also the issue of what happens when you run into a pedestrian.

I guess that's not relevant to parent's analysis from the perspective of maximizing his/her utility.

assuming in a capitalist society, this is not a choice that maximizes roi

omg no

sure, billion dollar corporations have a billion dollars in defenses to fight it but poor developers don't have anything to protect them so they get raped

congrats! just wait till your species finds out about faltrons

whats the benefit over pocket/instapapaer

this is probably how my wife describes me

your comment reminds me of something that I secretly do which I personally used to think was kind of bizarre. when i stumble upon evidence or signs that a certain way of my thinking is incorrect, i like to confirm that suspicion and dedicate time to go into a meditative state where i take my findings and effectively attempt to reprogram my mental algorithms/principles. this takes anywhere from 15m to several hours depending on how fundamental and low level the change is. obviously, the perceived roi is immense.

for instance, this is how i converted from religion to atheism (arguably still a religion)... a product of my nurture that i decided to shed. other examples include my interaction model with others which included tenets such as curbing my decidedly unjustified high level of empathy for all others, controversial as it may be.

1. reprogram in the sense of mental models and thoughts or in a literal cells and atoms sense?

2. potentially depending on your definition and scope of `reprogram`, wouldn't that be a subset of intelligence, as opposed to something higher order or different?

3. what kind of behaviors/habits do you think humans (like you or I, not high-funded corporations) could employ now to get as close to achieving your second sentence as possible?

what's the "generic" term for bandaid?

maybe you don't tend to hear about them?

what would be the next trump card above intelligence for survival/evolution/procreation/whatever the "goal" is?

what makes you believe this? feel like this is Hobbes vs Rousseau

can i actually use this in my site? seems like its super beta or like a school project (implying short lifespan)

neat minimalist website! what framework is it?

oh i was thinking this was going to clean (as opposed to expand) my urls.

> There are real problems out there in the world, go find one and do something about it and stop being a little bitch cry baby.

it's all about posturing and signaling, and being a crook.

yes, there are real problems that stem from corporations and society's heavy efforts to divide and capitalize on us. however, it's far more difficult and low-roi to actually fight racism or do anything productive, whereas you get most of the benefits by acting like you care and banning a couple words and saying it's bad!

and annoying. you're charging your most loyal users the cost of providing proof after all these years.

might defeat the purpose of this post

who is the target demographic for such a service? it seems that if they can afford to pay x/n in n installments by y, then they could have just paid x on y

what are the consequences of _not_ questioning the money? can the managers boss force him to? in which cause he would have to lie and potentially falsify documents?
