You say you monitor the whole web. How is that possible?

>Your decisions only matter in the case that you're an actual human
Why do you say that decisions matter if you're a human? At least, why would decisions matter more as a human than if you're a Boltzmann brain?

What's the point? How is typing foo::bar better than typing foo_bar?
It seems like you want the language to be more complicated for no benefit. Why not use C++ at that point?

I really wish we had better definitions for "smart", "cognition", and "intelligence." With our current definitions, all comparisons are purely subjective. Maybe crows are the "smartest" today. Tomorrow it'll be dolphins, parrots, elephants, pigs, or cephalopods. Who knows?

>To get an RSS feed of a single channel’s uploads, paste the channel URL into your RSS reader.
How does this work? How does the feed-reader know to grab the RSS XML instead of the page HTML, if they have the same URL?

I found this video really interesting. I knew that the current US system, first past the post, has a lot of problems from watching CPG Grey's [1] videos on it. I didn't know that the alternative systems, like ranked voting, had all these other weird problems.
It's depressing, really.

For everyone shocked at the $200k/mo, there is a lot of previous discussion here [1].
Their staff cost about $200k/person, and their total budget for 2017 is 2.9M!

Benjamin Franklin's entire story is really inspirational. He certainly had work ethic in abundance.
If you need an excuse to practice your writing, you may want to try National Novel Writing Month[1], which coincidentally, starts tomorrow.

Off-topic, but what process are people using to make these animated demos? The command-line and browser demo on this page is so clean and crisp. Is it just a screen cap with a ton of post-processing, or is there more to it?
