Re: Facebook makes the world a worse place
https://www.motherjones.com/media/2020/10/facebook-mother-jones/?keycode=7AHPR14|PAHPR14 I'd really like to highlight this article and what it says (emphasis mine): In fact, we have now learned that executives were even shown a slide presentation that highlighted the impact of the second iteration ...

Re: Mohtalim MOTW 2019
Ha, and there's still 2.5 months to go!Every time I think 2020 couldn't possibly get any more cyberpunk, it manages to get more cyberpunk.
Yes, I know this is 2020, but I refuse to make a new thread for 2020 and give it additional noteworthiness.
Re: Chess
I had a pretty good advantage out of the opening in this Rapid 15+10 game, but panicked on move 14. DmitriyKiev1 position 1.png My Queen and Rook were forked! According to the engine I'm actually in excellent shape and have a large advantage. The most straightforward thing to do would have been to ...

Re: daily awesome
Vigorous writing is concise. A sentence should contain no unnecessary words, a paragraph no unnecessary sentences, for the same reason that a drawing should have no unnecessary lines and a machine no unnecessary parts. This requires not that the writer make all his sentences short, or that he avoid...

Re: Monopsony antitrust
I don't buy that for a hot minute. If it's really impossible for American companies to compete domestically with global behemoths of that scale, then the US government should institute capital controls and protectionist trade policies. However, I firmly believe that antitrust action only increases ...

Re: Monopsony antitrust
What's the critical threshold? Is it 60% of the vote like in the Senate or 50% for some things like judges? Simple majority thresholds that depend on swings in sentiment that ebb and flow feels like a bad idea. Until we break up internationally based companies like Samsung or heck, the Chinese gover...
Re: Chess
Up until that last post, I'd consider playing you, but I'm pretty sure you'd beat me now. I tend to have a puzzle rating in the 1300's from just messing around in some random chess app i found on iOS. I understood what you were describing at least as far as move progression, so I might be able to ca...

Go The F* To Sleep - Song Version
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aWUr2EMCVAY The chorus is pretty catchy. I came across this version last night after my kids were being particularly resistant to going to sleep. Another pretty good version is this multi-celeb reading , which pointed out that Levar Burton (Star Trek and Reading Rainb...

Please give this President some lessons on being Presidential. It can't hurt at this point and I give up.

If your old CPU is old like mine (2700K), then you're safe... Don't upgrade to anything except the latest gen. Or are you gonna go AMD?!

This is so true. Hiding behind the first amendment and allowing loudmouths and bullies to prevail is extremely bad for society. We already have an allowance for religion to do this which isn't great.

I've been following the HK news for a while now. I probably shouldn't comment about it in a public forum though since since I might have to travel to mainland :-\
