>How in the world did you get iMessage to work on Android and Windows?
>This was a tough one to figure out! Beeper has two ways of enabling Android, Windows and Linux users to use iMessage: we send each user a Jailbroken iPhone with the Beeper app installed which bridges to iMessage, or if they have a Mac that is always connected to the internet, they can install the Beeper Mac app which acts as a bridge.
Can you elaborate? Surely this is satire or I'm missing something super obvious.
Would love to help with small features. I love NextJS and your product. Already using it with some ideas for minor tweaks! Let me know if you'd like any help. My Github is https://github.com/technoplato
One suggestion having just started using the site (AND LOVING IT) is to enable a "don't progress until correct mode" that way you don't miss a string of characters at a time. LMK if this is already a thing or if you are accepting PRs. I'd love to contribute!!!
Well, to be fair, the judge in the dissenting position (1/5) freed the 3 retweeters from blame because they did not cut off the photographer's name, but rather Twitter did in order to fit the aspect ratio displayed within the application.
I'm still confused though after reading the article.
I only see one reply remotely regarding Activites and Fragments and it's just asking what problems you had. It should be pretty obvious to anyone that's tinkered with Android that the whole battle between which to choose is ridiculous.
That said - I'd highly recommend checking out the Navigation components that are a part of Jetpack. They make standard navigation patterns, including deep linking, a complete breeze.
> Bezos isn't any different than anyone else here, really. Maybe someone will get to him to be kind
I just can't help but think that this is an incredibly naive model of how corporations function.
I'm not saying I disagree with the premise but I do think it would be incredibly helpful to the people pushing for this to give off a greater sense of how multi billion dollar corporations function. It just really can't be that simple.
However, I'd like to point out something that doesn't sit well with me.
Spotify uses this same kind of extraction mechanism on the artists that use its platform.
The complaint loop is complete. We have artists complaining about artist 'hosting' companies complaining about application hosting companies.
I believe the solution lies in different, non-zero sum economics, but haven't been able to think of anything for music. I do, however, have some pretty cool ideas for longer form text and video content.
>But what is most strikingly original about Wittgenstein’s account in the Tractatus is his drawing out of the implications – which are to a degree disturbing – of this conception. One implication is for values. If I think or claim that the car is in the garage, then, built into that claim is the idea that this may be true or false. But when I think that, say, slavery is morally wrong, I think something that could not be otherwise than true (even if others should disagree
I believe the solution to this lies in collective subjectivism with a fancy twist. Underlying every disagreement about such a claim, we have an implicit agreement. If I say slavery is wrong and you say you disagree, then we actually agree about something; the fact that we disagree.
That agreement underlying the disagreement gives rise to new conversational opportunity to approach a new, more fundamental point of agreement.
In this example, we could ask something like the following to our debate partner: “would you like to be owned by me?” Employing Kant’s categorical imperative (or the golden rule or bowever else this idea has been named) to demonstrate to your opponent indeed no, they would not like to be enslaved.
Following that train of logic, we can begin to piece together agreements from the disagreements that we unavoidably come across when using a tool as blunt as language to describe anything close to resembling reality.
At some point, given the good faith participation of both partners in conversation, we will be able to form more agreements, phoenixes rising from the ashes of our disagreements, that will lead to something more closely resembling a “universal truth”, truism, true objective fact, etc.
After all, true is just the word we have for something that cannot be proven false. In the same way that we just pretend money has value and so it does, true doesn’t mean anything beyond the word itself. That doesn’t necessarily make it less useful, it’s just something we need to keep in mind.
On that note, this author does a fascinating job introducing a hypothesis that an alphabet causes a society to lean to value masculine thought processes more highly. Not sure what I think about the hypothesis yet but it’s been a fascinating listen thus far.
Rather than downvote, can someone point out why they dislike this comment?
On an article on Wittgenstein's honest and fluid thinking style, I posted something similar to what the current top comment has described as the most interesting part of W's process.
I completely agree with your sentiment on our thoughts. They aren't neat and tidy. People like to pretend they are, but this simply isn't true.
It's also interesting to think about exactly where these thoughts come from. Where did the thought come from for example that invoked you opening up hacker news at the time you wrote this?
Where does great intuition come from? It's all fascinating whether you prescribe to a theory that likens consciousness to that of thinking rocks or if you're incredibly spiritual and think of consciousness more as a radio signal that were tuned into at some arbitrary frequency when we're alive in Earth.
I've been told on exactly one count that my thought process echoes Wittgenstein.
Here's a recording of the comment as kind of a proof of why I think this is interesting to do. Very Meta. Watch Community of you enjoy this kind of thing:
are a couple of videos I could find off the bat. For anyone interested in just reading rather than watching the entire thought process, I've posted links in the descriptions to the final text produced. I'll also link my Medium page below.
I record the entire thought process because I think we are in dire need of honesty today. It's too easy to pretend we know more than we do. I have lots of theories I'd like to share and talk with people about and have an incredibly hard time finding any kind of audience, yet constantly find people taking about our suffering from problems I believe I can solve.
I know this comment is all over the place, but just like the current top comment describes, I find it fascinating looking inside people's thought process as it is the most raw thing we can do with language. I also believe as I hammer away on these keys that I could just keep typing and eventually bring it all back together, which I will now.
I believe developing trust amongst individuals is vital in a digital age if we are to maintain any degree of community as society. Wittgenstein style thought explorations (and now with new technology recording the process therein) are the most raw, unidealogically possessed form of thought we can share. Any level of rehearsal or editing, while they certainly improve the finished product, both waste time and present an opportunity for those idealogical possessions to creep back into play.
In previous human times, we had much less diverse information flux. This enabled us to more easily understand our environment and those around us. We saw the same people every day, knew our place, and knew what to expect more or less.
Today, we don't know anyone we talk to online. Pair that with the difficulty of forming a strong community and that leads to some pretty serious problems.
I mean ABSOLUTELY no disrespect to anyone with what I'm about to say: suicide rates in youths, as well as what appears to be an identity crisis where people are latching on to whatever made up concepts please them are caused by a theory I call "Information Radiation."
"Information Radiation" effects a culture of people much like nuclear radiation effects a single individual. It makes them sick and die. Our culture is dying. There's so much new information coming in (most of it being of little importance) that it is crowding out the old information we have stores about the value of our cultures precious stories. The ones that got us here.
Those stories aren't true, but hey, we're here! And very few intellectuals respect that. We are arrogant to think now that these stories of religious proportioms are just simply not a representation of physical events that happened in our space time that they aren't important or helpful.
If this was true, television and movies such as Game of Thromes, Harry Potter, and the Avengers simply would not be popular.
This is not a religious claim at all by the way. There's no man in the sky dictating things. There are in my opinion human spiritual happenings, but those are unimportant to include here to pursuade you of my opinions.
Lastly, I want to plug my website knophy.com that I'm working on.
TLDR on it is that it's a website that values competency and the comprehension of content. My utlimate goal is to pay both creators for creating content and consumers for forming comprehension about content. I believe I have invented a sound business model for doing that.
Couldn’t find another way to address your note at the bottom of the tumblr post. Inquiry posted below:
Hey Ivan, just saw your repl video on the other page. Cool work! I'm working on technology that will revolutionize many industries. It's called knophy.com and I am actively working on it myself. The core philosophy of knophy is that we can realign incentive structures in social media and online interaction to favor the competent rather than the loud. The website doesn't show much yet, but I'll have a prototype available soon and always love sharing and discussing the idea with others.
My email is in my profile. Let’s link up if you want to talk more about it. I don’t have any funding yet but am very confident that funding will come and I have a very sane business model that I think can again, help revolutionize many industries in our zero sum times.
Copy and paste from comment above. Knophy.com is going to have no ads and is going to promote the usage of competency and evidence of content. More details will be posted on SHOWHN in about 3 - 4 weeks when I can get my prototype live.
>It's very exciting to see your feedback on Quora. I'm working on a prototype for my website, knophy.com, that is going to revolve completely around promoting those with competency.
On the Internet, there is too much value and emphasis on QUICK bangs of interest, while the real value can lie much more comfortably in long for interaction, much like a conversation in person.
I'm not going to give too many details now, but I look forward to hopefully having you guys give the prototype a trial once it's ready. I estimate that will be in about 3 - 4 weeks.
knophy.com is currently live, but it's really just there because I'm developing all of this out in the open. I'm also working on radically changing how we think about business structures and actually incorporating the idea of demonstrated competencies into how the board is going to function.
