Since when is psychology not much of a science?

I'm guessing valuearb means the few decades of research that lead up to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Replication_crisis#In_psycholo... ?

> Decentralized currencies/conmodities not controlled by any single entity are an obviously useful thing

Obviously useful things have obvious uses.

Some people may take issue with morality etc, but cryptocurrencies (Bitcoin mainly) are now the default means for transferring funds back and forth to sports book / poker / casino websites for US residents, and probably elsewhere where the legal climate is oppressive.

> In that case, it can be mathematically shown that you are simply too complicated to be fully correctly simulated by any system that attempts to build a model of your actions simply by external observation of you; you do not produce enough bits in your external actions to uniquely identify the state space of the inside of your head, not even if you turn the entire rest of the universe to the task (literally!).

Really? Which mathematical result is this?

Do scanning techniques such as fMRI and EEG count as external?

This is a common misconception apparently, one that I've fallen prey to myself in the past. Signal removed the option to use the password lock and now uses Android's built-in lock screen functionality to provide auth.

That screen was never meant to serve an encryption role and Moxie recommends using Android's full disk encryption feature to ensure data confidentiality at rest.

Really? The only reason?

Only one I can see. Want speed and performance and safety? C++. Want easy multithreading? Go. Rust's only claim to fame is that Mozilla is dogfooding it.

> Want speed and performance and safety? C++.

Speed and performance sure, but safety automatically rules out C++.

> Want easy multithreading? Go

Want speed, performance, safety, and easy multithreading? Rust.

C++ still does multi-threading better than rust, just that go does it better. Similarly go does perf better than rust, just that cpp is even better. So yeah, if you want the worst of all worlds coupled with the pains associated with a brand new language (try compiling rust for a armv5 soc) rust all the way!

Can you show a benchmark where Go outperforms Rust?

What about SNI?

I actually find it is a pretty big and universal pain point while people are learning, particularly when switching languages.

This sounds awfully close to a No True Scotsman type of argument. Also, are you implying only "serious" people should not get speed upon?

"Uniformization" sounds like a better fit, if we are searching for a more conventional word.

Maybe. I just don't want to use a well-established word to tag a new phenomenon because people can start judging the situation by the wider meaning of the word "Uniformization" or maybe different people will understand something different.

Instead, I coin a word and proceed to explain it. I find that using words with precise technical definitions or words that are jargons is dangerous in an informal context.

Or “Homogenization”

I think this is the more established term.

Sounds analogous to Stross' concept of a "beige dictatorship" in politics.

Is it related to “regression to the mean?”

> Reddit gets very dark very fast and it is factual that they don't control it nearly as well as they should.

It can never be factual that something should be, since what should be is subjective.
