Hypothesis: the glaring flaws in rationalist ideas that people jump on (a fascist shared house!) are only there to hide the more insidious flaws that are actually far more damaging in retrospect (you can’t build a reliable system if you have components that aren’t 100% reliable, redundancy and fail-over isn’t a thing, relationship drama can be eliminated by agreeing on rules in advance and if necessary inventing new words, object-level critique can be dismissed with meta-level rebuttals, meta-level critique can be dismissed with object-level rebuttals, etc.)

It turned out that Rationalists were only interested in polyamory in order to obtain passive failover relationships configured as redundant arrays of inexpensive drama.

this weird robot is going to run for some kind of office and the spineless slugs at the DNC will probably let him do it under their banner

[bigwordsandsharpedges]

Everybody remember that time Facebook falsified the news in people’s feeds to see how they reacted? Because the guy in charge of that wants you to vote online. 

[legoconservative]

but won’t that make it easier for the russians to hack the election?

Wait, so the guy shouldn’t be allowed to run as a democrat because he’s rich and disconnected from reality?

Really?

[mitigatedchaos]

Well, running someone wealthy and disconnected from reality didn’t work out so well for the Democrats last time -

Oh, good, you have become a language reactionary. Let us revive a 1,000 year old dialect of Chinese in search of true meaning and launch an armed revolution against the Unicode Consortium.

Well duh, they’re a crafting component.  It would be stupid to waste them.

nightpool said: Okay I wanna back up for a second and say how impressive it was that you wrote a one sentence post and someone replied “I disagree with the first sentence” unironically.

this raises the bar; now I must construct a one word post that manages to be simple, coherent, and wrong.

A Tumblr user has set their post queue to post once a day. However, they add an average of 1.8 new posts to the queue each day. There are currently 74 posts in the queue. A queue can hold a maximum of 300 posts.

A. How many days will it take the queue to reach its maximum capacity?

B. If the user sets the post rate to two posts per day, how many days will it take for the queue to be emptied?

C. Using universal laws, compute the mind state of a typical Tumblr user matching this statistical description within +/-10% from first principles, and create a sample distribution and tag-based machine-learning algorithm to estimate the percentage of shtposts in a representative post queue. Engrave your answer as a binary representation with associated decoding algorithm on a stone tablet.

I mean, it’s even more than that. They’re an advertising/data company. That’s basically their entire business model.

GOOGLE: We take pride in our business of knowing everyone’s approximate salary, age, gender, interests, browsing habits, media habits, driving/walking habits, search history, and a rough social network, and regularly do analyses and optimizations across all that data to best direct advertisements to where they will have the strongest effect.

GOVERNMENT: So. Um. How about some statistics on how much you pay female employees, then?

GOOGLE: uuuuuhhhhrrrrrrrrrrhhhh…………… data machine broek…………………?..   .

I smell a troll concept: Argue that it’s capitalism’s fault, because paying men more on average maximises shareholder value, as men are better at programming under this system, and only under full communism, women and men can afford to be equally bad at programming.

Comrade Bernov will herd the women into STEM, just as the ideology says must be done for the sake of justice.
