um_ya··on Archiving the Capitol Hill Riots
Sad that we have to do this. Trump supporters have been consistently pigeonholed by big tech censorship.
um_ya··on Our Response to the Violence in Washington
And we are criticizing Facebook's product. What's the value of a social platform if you can't socialize.
um_ya··on Sleep duration is associated with brain structure and cognitive performance
Try splashing cold water in your face. Slap your self a few times. Turn on something that makes noise, like music. I would avoid recording your dreams, because it seems to be what got you stuck in the loop in the first place.
um_ya··on Coinbase Pro Disables Margin Trading
Welp... We'll never see him again.

um_ya··on California Exodus: An online industry seizes Covid to sell the Red State Dream
Better the door hitting you on the way out than being stuck inside a house on fire.
um_ya··on CA Law Was to Give Uber Drivers New Protections. Instead, Comedians Lost Work
Yet, they keep finding ways to shoot. Glad I got out.
um_ya··on CA Law Was to Give Uber Drivers New Protections. Instead, Comedians Lost Work
All the people fleeing California disagree with you
um_ya··on Gravitricity – Fast, long-life energy storage
Can we stop with these convoluted systems and just do nuclear already?
um_ya··on Ethereum Is a Dark Forest
That's the entire state of computer science. Over time, strong systems become black box tools for more complex systems.
um_ya··on Feeling unproductive? Maybe you should stop overthinking
Nice try GPT-3

um_ya··on ZFS Removes References to Slavery
I'm not sure if the compelled speech was actually adopted into law. I'm referring to Jordan Peterson's interview and senate hearing in relation to the law.

um_ya··on ZFS Removes References to Slavery
Not to mention the compelled speech in Canada, in regards to gender pronouns.
um_ya··on Twitter hides Donald Trump tweet for “glorifying violence”
But it can change the meaning. For instance, if I write a tweet that says "I like the joker character" and twitter appends my tweet saying "People that like joker might shoot up a movie theater", you've changed the intent and meaning completely from what was intended... The media tends to do this kind of thing a lot when they take a speech and add their own commentary to change what was said. Appending/elaborating on what someone says makes them your words, not the original authors.
um_ya··on Demo of an OpenAI language model applied to code generation [video]
It would be nice to have an AI that could write unit tests, or look over your code and understand and explain where you might have bugs.
um_ya··on YouTube removed a viral video of two doctors calling for an end to quarantine
And what happens when you yell fire in a movie theater and they silence you when it's true? It's not just about the "incorrect" content that's posted on Youtube, it's also the correct content that gets censored. How else would we learn about the water that makes the frogs gay?
um_ya··on Federal Reserve balance sheet trends
This was tried in the past. Bottom up stimulus typically results in inflation in consumer prices. The fed prefers pumping money in at the top, which typically results in inflation of stock/asset prices.
um_ya··on Effect of economic crisis on America’s small businesses [slides]
The origin of the phrase "helicopter money" was from Milton Friedman, when he described the lunacy of the concept. Ironic it's used seriously today.
um_ya··on The Longest Record Broken: Gold/Silver Ratio Hits Highest in Over 5,000 Years
If an ancient Roman owned gold and traveled in time to today, he would still be a rich man. Can't say the same about any currency or stock. Gold holds value long term.
um_ya··on RFC: Let's Disrupt Dating Apps
Grindr seems to be more successful than Tinder at hooking people up. Most of the problems I've seen from dating apps, revolve around the security a woman feels and an over supply of potentially suitable men.
um_ya··on New Bill Would Give Nearly Every Californian $1,000/Month
Wouldn't it be great if California implemented some laws contingent on the funds coming from current waste and abuse? For instance, "UBI must be funded by reducing current waste and abuse in California". If Democrats wanted to implement UBI, they would have to work for it, by solving real spending problems, rather than draining the taxpayer further.
um_ya··on Glacier National Park to remove all 'glaciers will be gone by 2020' signs
How much research has been done into the positive effects of global warming? More rainfall, warmer waters, more tropical climate. It's hard to believe these things might be bad.

Has no one done this kind of research before?

um_ya··on Online hate speech could be contained like a computer virus, say researchers
The difference between r/politics and r/the_donald, is that one is determined "acceptable" and propagated to everyone, while the other is quarantined and impossible to find.

I never understood the culture of censoring your opponents, it just seems intellectually weak.

um_ya··on San Francisco Spent a Decade Being Rich, Important, and Hating Itself
It's hard to change others, but it's easy to change yourself.

It's easier to just move to a more conservative state or a more welcoming city with less taxes and less restrictions.

I appreciate those that choose to stay and fight, but sometimes it's better just to move on.

San Francisco has been getting worse.

um_ya··on Peter Thiel at Center of Facebook’s Internal Divisions on Politics
That which has no source, takes no source to dismiss. The "Dark money in the republican party" claim was not substantiated. I can say there is a unicorn on the moon that shoots candy out of it's butt, how would you dispute it?
um_ya··on Peter Thiel at Center of Facebook’s Internal Divisions on Politics
So you're saying a billion dollars spent by the Hillary campaign couldn't compete with Russia's $100,000 in targeted ads?
um_ya··on College-educated workers are taking over the American factory floor
It's a supply and demand problem. We've inflated the supply of college graduates, so when a company decides to hire someone, they choose the person with a college degree over someone without. To fix this problem, you would need to stop the supply of overqualified people. You can do this by having more jobs, or by getting rid of the government guaranteed student loans.
um_ya··on Urbit
Worst naming convention I've ever seen. Did they just draw from a hat of cooky names? What ever happened to the concept of choosing names relevant to the thing you're describing? I start to understand what's going on, then they throw words like "Hoon" and "Arvo" at me, and now I'm confused again. I still don't understand what it does, but now I don't care.
um_ya··on Why does the Librem 5 phone cost that much?
You seem to be forgetting LineageOS
