  • Oh, I wish them the best and hope they succeed.

    But I also think they’ll fail. And not even for that one reason, I think there are enough advertisers not interested on tracking to make it succeed. I just think they’ll flounder it. What is too bad, because they are the ones best positioned to make it.

    Stuff like history, art, and how a fucking analog clock works

    Well, I don’t exactly disagree… but one of those things is completely different from the others.

    I would agree more if we were talking literally about “how an analog clock works” instead of the convention to reading them. But it would still be a niche knowledge that you can take from Wikipedia if it ever becomes relevant to you.

    Kids these days do absolutely still know how to read analog clocks.

    Besides, they probably shouldn’t put effort into that. Those things are close to useless nowadays. It’s mostly a case of schools being conservative… but then, it’s not that much of an effort, so there are more important things to care about.

    None of the LTV hold up. For a start, it predicts that people won’t ever trade. That’s quite a big flaw because, you know, people do trade. Theories of value predicting people won’t trade was a big problem by the time Marx was young. His one doesn’t solve the problem at all, but well, it wasn’t a problem anymore when he published.

    The family of theories of value that predict that trade happens are called “subjective theories of value”.






  • Yeah, if you transmit less data in total, your odds of having a random problem reduce. But not much, because electromag interference tends to last for relatively long times and you still need to communicate often for minimizing latency.

    That is, unless the problem is a saturated channel. If that’s the case, your situation may improve much more by sending less data.
