In a sense, you're right, but there's an interesting paper wutg "reigning in the red queen" in the title that might shed some light on this.
In a nutshell, low metabolism is a generalist trait, but extreme speed at the cost of metabolism is a specialist trait. One is indubitably fittest for a specific scenario, especially in an "arms race" against its prey/predator, but the other is more survivable when circumstances change abruptly.
I've tried it, refurbing dinos, installing linux, and selling. What happens is people run into problems, and their impression that linux is some obscure thing only you know about, you end up doing support hours on a dirt cheap rig, it's either bad business or a cold heart. I ended up just giving away the better ones and recycling the rest, it just wasn't worth it.
For instance, the Buzzfeed article about the Macedonian fake news farm said they tried it both ways, but the right wing stuff was shared much more, ergo more profitable.
Not to mention if you use social media, you would have noticed.
And you watch Netflix on that? Because from my experiments, it's miserable to make Netflix work on ARM+Linux. At a certain point I realized that the stability, ease, and sharability I wanted was behind a walled garden... Which actually isn't so walled. Netflix is a dick about what it wants to run on -- I worked in their customer service for a minute, and quite a few cases ended with "that's an unsupported device". Imho the best option is Roku 3 (fanless+rj45), or a full fledged x86 pc with water cooling. Chromecast is nice but introduces a few extra layers for breakage to seep in. Fire stick is a fine runner up but the UI is more clicks for the same task for most use cases.
It's a corporations video describing how they make steel tubes. The subtlety is extraordinary (except for the part where they say "final solution heat bath". That's just lingual gymnastics.

Because survivorship bias? Because "impossible to explain" is indistinguishable from appeal to ignorance. I have more faith in what we do understand about cognitive bias and memetic selection than what we don't understand about physics.
I don't think policing is psychologically healthy. Distributing the load can only be a good thing... Also that slippery slope? I wonder what fallacy that logic is using.
I've heard this argument before, and I bought it: Evolution comes from depth of knowledge, revolution comes from breadth.
However, a strong argument can be made that employers are looking and paying for depth, and those revolutionary ideas are nothing without capital... xD
I've worked in their customer care (recently quit). There is such a thing as false positives, little old ladies who don't know the difference between a proxy and a flux capacitor. And the company line for someone calling about a VPN error? Do **not** help or advise them in anyway except telling them to undo what they've done whatever that was, and call the ISP to help find what default settings should be.
Next thing you know, you've got a rep from the ISP calling in because an entire IP block is getting flagged, and nobody can actually cite any particular instruction, marker, or standard for why it's getting flagged and what needs to be done about it.
I can tell you this, the corporation looks to weigh the undue hardship of innocents in dollars, and that ought to be incompatible with some ethical systems.
You read what you wanted to read -- that's not a real error message.
"Not not available right now" --- that's a thing. But it never says the country.
P.s. you get that message when your internet sucks or when the implementation sucks (e.g. that black friday blu-ray player)...
The mozilla thing was a little sad. When you're the leader of men, especiailly at a company that uses at least some donated money and donated time from progressive thinkers... you shouldn't take public positions on anything.
Elrich seemed like the pinnacle in upright professionalism in terms of handling things he disapproved of in a company responsible and ethical fashion.
Unfortunately, it came to light that he spent money to help restrict rights for a minority, and a lot of people aren't okay with that.
Hopefully they come out with a referendum to stop giving churches special tax exemptions, and hopefully the people who want to keep their jobs leading people donate anonymously.
I just had a friend lose a contract over the fact he worked with gay weddings. He actually made out like a bandit and got to keep a large deposit -- he donated it, posted his story of attempted persecution, and the story went viral and business is BOOMING.
If you find a story of fundamental homosexuals beating up christian because he looked too square, I'd love to hear it.
The year I quit college and never looked back was when I asked my math professor to derive the quadratic equation from the "completing the squares" method. He said no.
I'm a failure, so far, but I devote my free time to studying philosophy... so it figures. =)
So if you can imagine a robot that reads one million case studies and watches every youtube video...
It could understand the human condition better than a human. And it would be a hell of a psychologist.

It's a Kurt Vonnegut Jr. story. Essentially, to get a license to reproduce somebody had to go in a suicide booth for you.

If only Wikipedia had some kind of freely available edit history log, you could find out.

The fan in Roku 4 is something to be wary of

RMS has been shouting this for a decade...
Yeah, I can't think of anyone who absolutely refused to believe "creepy action at a distance" at face value who made any significant contribution...
So hubris leads to intelligent design? Intelligent argument, my friend. And great phrasing!

Regarding sentient influence... That's just "the best of all possible worlds" in disguise
The phrasing here is just terrible. They confirmed the universe is harder to explain. Phrasing like this is for pushing intelligent design arguments.

And you have to empathize to teach emphathy?

I'm hoping we kill capitalism by then. =) "Live forever or die trying" sounds like a great motto for a revolution.
