We're in one right now?
And how do you propose they do this? What are you suggesting?
This is correct, but your actions are going to silence (or at least muffle or interrupt) these people's voices. Don't double down on it because you're riding some righteousness high. You still have time to backpedal and not act like a vain fool.
The tax dollars you are talking about are pennies to the oligarchs. You are only hitting regular people with this selfishness. It's a pathetic gesture, and I'll never use your services.
Do you have to retain all the information? Perhaps a set of quantum events is more like a parameter into a function, and the return value is the universe state corresponding to that history. Yeah there's magical black box handwaving going on there but the point is when we literally have no idea, it's not entirely impossible that the quantum multiverse is sparsely populated and lazy loaded with nothing 'computed' into existence until it has to be.
EDIT: Mind, I'm not saying that it is this way. The validity of my proposal isn't the point. The point is that dismissing Many Worlds on the grounds of "too much information" involves assuming a lot of things we don't actually know.
No, that's a great analogy. I can neither condone nor dispute it on rhetorical grounds, but aesthetically it is rad.
I can't understand why the writer seems so bitter about spending so much time on something they clearly love... I mean, what else is there to do? Lots of boring obligatory stuff!
Just because something hasn't become big doesn't mean it's a failure. I've labored in dark early hours over paintings and music that will never see the light of day, but it's a vital part of how I express and cultivate myself. My journal.
99% of art is unknown personal projects. Embrace yours. Why be bitter?
If someone asked me to find the hidden Russian saboteur in the room, I'm absolutely checking the guy squatting in an Adidas parka first.
In order to do that in effective numbers that wouldn't get squashed immediately, there would have to be people leading and coordinating the opposition.
Appearing to be such a person is a quick way to accidentally eat plutonium for breakfast.
And rightly so. I don't care enough about Taiwan to instate a draft. I don't care enough about much of anything for that.
IANAL, so I might be mistaken, but isn't the law in some places "if you see it, it is illegal for you not to report it"?
(EDIT: specifically when it comes to CSAM, that is)
Cute, cliche, and played out? If you dismiss it in three different ways are you magically correct?
It might be a losing battle in the face on increasing complacency and bad incentives, but it's not over no matter how many different ways you want to dismiss it.
Well... not quite...
> Up to fourteen young male slaves, aged ten to twenty-one, worked at the forges of the nailery. From 1794 to 1796, while he was in temporary retirement at Monticello, Jefferson calculated the efficiency of the nailers, each day weighing their nail rod and the nails they produced.

Though it would seem the idea was to then sell the nails for extra income (TJ was always strapped for cash), so it's kind of an ugly stop on the way to "what if you could just go buy a bag of nails?"
> When AM had altered Benny, during the machine's utterly irrational, hysterical phase, it was not merely Benny's face the computer had made like a giant ape's. He was big in the privates; she loved that! She serviced us, as a matter of course, but she loved it from him. Oh Ellen, pedestal Ellen, pristine-pure Ellen; oh Ellen the clean! Scum filth.
Do I still have to pay gas fees to mint a fake fart? How about I rip a real one and we call it even?
If this is a trend for you, you're probably a bad hirer and in a toxic environment!
So use Cname? :D
Fortunate! That's very fortunate!

No such thing unless your basis for it is incomplete or corrupted.
