2017-12-17 at 6:51 AM UTC in Decentralised InternetThere isn't much of a solution to be had, besides political, but then that's not much of a solution either since democracy is dead in this country.
Systems that piggyback on the telecoms infrastructure in the vein of TOR work up to a point but they're not hard to crack down on if any one becomes sufficiently popular. Crypto is next on the chopping block of liberties we're going to lose anyway.
Mesh networks are cool and I totally support them but you don't need to thing very big to see they break down at scale. Ignoring the fact that vast swaths of the american territory don't have the population density to support a route (like literally there is no path of residences within consumer WiFi range of eachother that connect San Francisco and Los Angeles, a purely citizen maintained mesh network can not connect the two largest cities in the most populated state in the US) the prospect of running anything resembling modern internet traffic over a network that requires on the order of 20 hops between consumer hardware to cover a mile is insane. It just doesn't work. I mean the idea of mad max internet does have a certain allure, where the cost of distance is high enough that it motivates locality in internet communities and centralized hivemindery ala reddit and facebook are non-existent but it's not a replacement for what the internet is today and it's going to satisfy the masses.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

CASPER said he doesn't gamble he takes calculated risks in the context of "gambling" so that's already established. What I meant is that the odds and your calculation don't change the fact it's gambling unless you are certain there is a 100% set outcome.
That's fair, CASPER was being kinda retarded there

I've wanted to say on multiple occasions now that you vastly overestimate your own level of intelligence and general knowledge about any given topic. I figured telling you this couldn't possibly be productive since the entire issue is that you can't assess your own abilities so there's no reason to expect you could assess the validity of critique thereof however since apparently we're being petty and personally offensive I figure now is a good time to mention it. You have a thoroughly mediocre level of mental acuity, which there's nothing wrong with, but your wholly unwarranted level of self-confidence takes your average joe opinions and amplifies them to belligerent and transparently insecure displays of public humiliation.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Originally posted by Issue313 Yes, I'd agree. Besides my personal conviction I think that reincarnation is the healthiest and most life-affirming worldview possible, and nature tends towards healthy and life-affirming alternatives to judeo-christianity or even atheism whenever possible.
I think that the idea of reincarnation, at least as I envisage it, tends towards maximal darwinian potential, as an organism which retains memories from its ancestors/previous lives (same thing) is the most likely to not make the same mistakes again.
In addition a population which believes in reincarnation is the most likely to seek to retain a healthy biosphere for future populations.
Those are all potential benefits of belief in reincarnation but none of them imply this:That alone makes the idea of reincarnation the most likely (and desirable to push) possible scenario for me.
Something potentially having good effects doesn't mean it is true. Like it would be pretty swell to believe I was the most attractive guy alive and maybe it would have some positive effects but it says absolutely nothing about the actual truth of the matter.
And without external ethical support something like potential ecological effects are a circular defense. You say "reincarnation belief is good because it encourages environmentalism", I ask "why is environmentalism good", and if you say "because we're going to be reincarnated and need the planet to be in good shape in the future" then you've used reincarnation as a premise in defense of reincarnation itself. If you answer with anything else then we don't need reincarnation beliefs to justify environmentalism so the whole line of reasoning was pointless.Like I said, if we didn't know about, for instance, atomic theory, you could spend the whole day poking holes in the idea of atomic theory, ie. well what keeps the electrons in orbit, well why don't atoms all just fly off into space then, well why don't they just coalesce then, etc. Absent an empirical science discussing this stuff is kinda pointless.
Sure, if we had no experimental evidence of atomic theory then the only reasonable attitude towards atomic theory would be skepticism. The fact that we did eventually find experimental evidence of atomic theory doesn't vindicate every theory lacking evidence.

Originally posted by Hikikomori-Yume Here I'll put it in a way that even someone like you will be able to understand
Existence is being rendered by something outside of what we perceive as physical reality.
It's not within the universe or any of the multiverses.
It is non-physical, purely elemental and mathematical this core is what renders reality, I will now refer to this entity as yume.
Each branch of reality is rendered by yume simultaneously, quantum mechanics refers to this phenomena.
Reality is a computational process rendered by yume, a constant feedback loop based on error-correction.
Yume starts shooting out random noise, over time they collect into coherence and take on shapes and forms, physics, matter, consciousness and so on.
The realities that exist outside of our own are intangible to us, and within those realms there are some possible instances that are similar to our own with similar timelines and figures, someone who would resemble you only they possess a completely different consciousness.
With all that said, assuming that once a particular stream ends and *our* existence comes to a close it's possible that yume resets the stream and what we would call "time reversal" happens, our existence is set back to the "beginning" and everything plays out once more only since existence relies on variables and not absolutes it would be possible for different outcomes to happen thus in the next life you might actually end up intelligent and with a decent personality.
Yeah, that's a lot easier to understand. Thanks for clearing that up bud.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Originally posted by Daily Am I drinking the koolaid or is this literally real life
Koolaid. Most common reason people believe in this shit is because the coincidence of antibiotics and industrialization in our history have created an anomalous situation where life expectancy has been on the up slightly for a while now. The grand claims are mostly a statistical trick though, our medieval counterparts who survived childhood, and for women who survived childbirth, could expect to live into their 70s. I mean bringing down our civilization's child mortality rate is a tremendous thing but it means our average life expectancy goes up without you getting to live any longer. There's also the question as to how long the "golden age" of antibiotics and industrialism is going to last. I think it's pretty well agreed upon that the former is ending and we're gonna be fucked. As for industrialism, seems like there's a dozen different ways that's got an expiration date on it.
The hope for elimination of senescence does have one interesting quality: it demonstrates that even clearly false hope of the possibility for eternal life is existentially uncomfortable. It's easier to cope with your demise when it's truly inevitable. I remember one of those Rick Roderick TV lecture things where he said "death is one of the last democratic institutions in this country" and he was right, rich and poor alike have the same upper bound one their lifespans, even if the averages are different. So you're definitely going to die, but look on the bright side: at least you'll die the same as everyone else, not as happenstance because you failed to buy the correct infomercial projects or because you couldn't afford to extend your existence.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

No one has debates or conversations with you spectral. You talk at them and they laugh at you. Like this:

Again, not a big deal just SAYING.
Yeah, that's something that's bugged me as well. I added another button to the mobile post controls. I'm not crazy about the iconography, open to suggestions, but it should do the job.

And good on you. "Analysis only" people are talentless hacks. No one ever learned to play tennis by "analysing" tennis.data is represented by a hex value where the \x represents the offset.
The "\x" isn't really an "offset", it's just an escape code that signals the following two bytes in source are the hexadecimal representation of the next byte of the given string. The offset of a given byte is signaled its position in the literal expression.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -
