So original

frightful_hobgoblin ,

But at what cost???

frightful_hobgoblin ,

We did it here. I spent years protesting and camping on-and-off when they tried to build the M3 motorway through the Hill of Tara, an ancient site with similarities to Stonehenge.

They will get what they deserve in the end.

It's valid to have posts slagging an unpopular politician.

This sounds fun. Do it and regale us with the outcome.

Are these screenshots fake or are search engines saying stuff like this? (I don't use google)

The existence of Harambe implies the existence of Halalbe

frightful_hobgoblin ,

I don't get it

The fediverse really needs key-signed messages.

As long as accounts reside on one server it fails to accomplish its goals, IMO

frightful_hobgoblin ,

It could be shared across instances too. It's not a hard problem.

Fediverse currently has totally centralised takedowns and bans coz it uses the same account-model as Twitter/Facebook

frightful_hobgoblin ,

It would be a simple enough feature to code on top of the existing Fediverse

frightful_hobgoblin ,

Fair enough if you want to move the goal there it's a score.

I had thought the goal was to remove central control over communication.

AFAIK, the team never defined an official goal.

frightful_hobgoblin ,

Userbase.

This game is more about mindshare. It's not about technical capabilities. Facebook are technically dismal.

He's right that the public key would have to be somewhere, maybe on the profile page. The public key would be one more thing to be federated across servers.

Ireland and Spain reiterate plan to form alliance to recognise state of Palestine (www.theguardian.com)

Ireland and Spain have reiterated their intention to forge an alliance of countries that will soon recognise Palestine as a nation state.... Recognition of Palestinian statehood “is coming much closer”, Harris told a joint press conference. Ireland would move with Spain and other countries “when the time is right”, he...

Lack of dialectical materialism.

"Let the good guys see your messages" erases the dialectical materialism of the situation. All guys are guys looking out for their own class interests.

So if you let the Powers That Be surveil you, you have nothing to fear if you happen to be their friend. If they dislike you, you surely have something to fear.

frightful_hobgoblin ,

I agree with Snowden not the other person

frightful_hobgoblin ,

The first two sentences are about the general model; the rest applies it to the particular subject.

frightful_hobgoblin ,

When addressing a group of size, you can't please everyone, as different listeners will have different bits of prior knowledge.

I assumed an audience on an ML forum would know the difference between an idealist argument and a dialectical materialist one (rather than being a "blind crowd"). If not, that can't be helped: you can't customise speech to a varied audience.

frightful_hobgoblin ,

Jaysus can ye not just slag adolescent boys for their stupid history?

Do ye have to make everyfuckingthing about your same talking points?

frightful_hobgoblin ,

The meme is making fun of testosterone-poisoned 'history enthusiasts', just make fun of them why you gotsa start your flame wars about 'muh West'

frightful_hobgoblin ,

Jaysus just have a laugh at the tankies stop being such a pain in the hole.

You people only have one thing to say I swear to god

Like, fuck off dude

Haha oh my goodness

Cooking too. Try baking a cake in the two.

Pounds-and-ounces is all like "two eights is sixteen", "three threes is nine". Nice and handy multiples is what it's made on.

I'm about equally familiar with the two.

frightful_hobgoblin ,

I doubt it had much to do with kings, as they didn't do handicrafts or have to measure things like grocers/traders do.

That image is really stupid, too much wrong with it to go thru.

frightful_hobgoblin ,

“wait, what is 5/8 + 3/16 + 1 7/64?”

Those are so easily commensurable! It's 1 and 59/64 obv.

It's set up to make this easy.

Let me ask: do you think people have usedit for hundreds of years for no reason?

frightful_hobgoblin , (edited )

There are 8000 linguistic systems in use today, about 90 calendars, a few hundred legal systems, a few hundred monetary systems, but Redditors fume at the thought that Planet Earth uses >1 convention for weights and distances

frightful_hobgoblin ,

Yanks stop trying to claim things as your own.

frightful_hobgoblin ,

You and @Zerush both resorted to this fake idea that [not using the metric convention] = [measuring things with your body-parts]

Very weird lie. I'll take it as an admission you're out of sensible points.

frightful_hobgoblin , (edited )

“wait, what is 5/8 + 3/16 + 1 7/64?”

In binary it's 0.101 + 0.0011 + 1.000111, or laid out vertically:

0.101
0.0011
1.000111
=
1.111011

Halving numbers is no harder than decimating them, probably easier for most of us. Even computer scientists don't think of base-10 as The Way The Truth and The Light; they use base-2 or base-16 for various things.

Decimal/base-ten is fine as a convention, but insisting that One Convention is perfect and others are heretical is stupid.

frightful_hobgoblin ,

Quick off the top of your head

We are communicating through writing on an asynchronous web forum.

frightful_hobgoblin ,

Base 12 has factors: 1,2,3,4,6. Dividing by 5 is tricky.

Base 10 has factors: 1,2,5. Dividing by 3 is tricky.

frightful_hobgoblin ,

Do you people legit believe people used feet&inches, pounds&ounces for over 2000 years for no reason?

frightful_hobgoblin ,

Even these people who are screeching "decimal for everything!" in the thread still use dozenal for time, months, and cartons of eggs.
