And how do you get people to collaborate? People have tried making governments based on the idea of everyone working together for the common good. It never ends well.

Ownership in general isn’t some fundamental inalienable right. It’s just that if you let people own things, you give them more incentive to make things. I think intellectual property rights are far too extensive, but if we didn’t have them at all, how would we pay for R&D? How would we pay for big budget games and movies? Maybe you’re happy contributing to openly licensed projects, but a lot of people have to pay for rent and raise a family, and can’t take the time to contribute to things like that even if they want to unless they have the money to support themselves.

Sure it does. All they have to do is fire the CEO and they’ll have so much more money.

They weren’t doing anything smartphone manufacturers haven’t been doing for years. Or those guys that make McDonalds ice cream machines.

The majority of dumb stuff in Javascript is that it has some counterintuitive way of doing something that it shouldn’t do at all, so only teaching the good parts works. So teaching just the good parts is pretty reasonable.

In Python you put it in a multiline string, since it has those but not multiline comments.

But that’s mostly labor humans were doing anyway.

I used to, but now that we have sexbots why bother?

It is a more likely place for people from Twitter to migrate to.

From what I can find, Threads has 10 million active users, and Mastodon only has 1.7 million. Threads may have been a “massive flop” in that they’re not doing as well as hoped and the userbase is declining, but it’s still far more popular than Mastodon, which also has a declining userbase outside of some recent spikes.

Threads?

He also ran the Boring Company.

Here’s a source that it does require paying for links (scroll to the bottom).

“We’re going to keep standing our ground. After all, if the government can’t stand up for Canadians against tech giants, who will?”

Yes. How can those terrible tech giants advertise for news companies without paying them? What kind of monster doesn’t pay people for the privilege of advertising?

That would be ideal, but people always underestimate the cost and difficulty of things.

What’s the normal amount of over budget and behind schedule?

How so?

Does karma change that? We still have upvotes and downvotes, and you can sort comments by how well they do, and mods can still ban people not only from a community, but from a whole instance.

If I’m typing on a computer keyboard, typing words is easier than random letters, but on a phone it doesn’t make much of a difference. What I end up doing is typing my passphrase into my password manager on the computer, and then typing the password on there into my phone.

I do have a password manager app for my phone, but then I have to type the whole passphrase into it so I don’t use it unless necessary.

Some of them are broken by quantum computers, but not all of them. For example, SHA256. You can use Grover’s algorithm to take sqrt(n) steps to check n possible passwords, which on the one hand means it can be billions of times faster, but on the other hand, you just need to double the length of the password to get the same security vs quantum computers. Also, this is the first I’ve heard of a hash that uses a quantum computer. Do you have a source? Hashes need to be deterministic, and quantum computers aren’t, so that doesn’t seem like it would work very well.

Maybe you’re getting mixed up with using quantum encryption to get around quantum computers breaking common encryption algorithms?
