Let's be real, what do you think wrote the harness?

It's not hard to accept. Why are you drawing a false equivalence between a man having these flaws, and Tao's words in this case being rooted in those flaws?

As for you, what's your opinion about what he said and why do you think that?

Agree with your post, but judges sentence, not juries.

Here in the US, "Flock bad" has entered the Algorithm which dictates what people see and care about. People otherwise uninvolved in technology, whose eyes would glaze over in a conversation about mass surveillance, they will light up if you say Flock. It's just in the zeitgeist. My comment was more meta commentary about how recommender algorithms and not people's personal thoughts / opinions are deciding which causes get attention.

The funny thing is that now we have people freaking out about Flock. These same people didn't care about Snowden files at the time. In the same vein there are many ALPR companies besides Flock but none of them are getting any heat.

Too much is happening for anyone to keep up with it all.

Thanks for answering. Do you think these dovetail? Both archive everything you browse, so that's common functionality that could be factored out. I only want one archive, having two separate archives because one focuses on search and the other on long term archival is inefficient. What do you do for long term archival - or do you not have this use case?

Are you aware of ArchiveBox?

https://archivebox.io/

What does Hister do differently? Search seems like a major differentiator, I'm wondering if leveraging the existing archivebox project for archival and implementing good search on top would be more efficient

Very strong reasoning here. Is there anything this ADHD condition cannot explain?

I have not been able to locate any source that backs up this claim.

New comment by corndoge in "My Friend Aaron"

I like it because each individual piece can happen and we probably all know people by now that have some aspect of Aaron - massive AI use, or into prediction markets, or live streaming, or just a friend who we have learned over time lacks scruples, or have watched them fade in response to life's challenges. The combination of all of these is then easy to imagine and that idea makes a good story.

It is possible, perhaps even probable, that no human read the thread.

Correct, for better or worse facebook is the meeting ground for many communities and if you are in those communities you have to use it.
