I believe nation states will keep becoming less and less relevant and that in the future everyone will be a nomad Most nation states (and well governments) barely function anymore through 100+ years of democratic baggage from laws and regulation that can't be reversed People can't save their countries or governments anymore through people's initiatives or getting into politics, because the systems are so old and in full gridlock Globalism has deservedly gotten a really bad rep the last 5 years though as we were too naive about it, but I think we should keep the good parts from it We should no… Quoting @ramenlad Very cool. I’m curious: do you believe digital nomading will continue to grow given the potential disruption of all things digital that’s upon us? Sorry, had to quote to reply @levelsio :) Related

Last iPhone Duo observation for the day: Close/Done/Cancel buttons switch sides depending on if you’re in the left or right side-by-side layout. I get the “stay close to the thumbs” mantra that likely guided this decision. But it also moves the most important buttons around and presents the end user with an inconsistent layout. If someone gets used to an X button on the right and it’s suddenly on the left, does it do the same thing? A naive user may think it does not. Related

“You AI people are so naive, I live in the REAL world, where [I have been consistently wrong in my predictions about AI and behind the ball on every trend related to AI, routinely making little prognostications that stochastic gradient descent joyfully stomps all over.]” Related

European Delusions & Danish Drones Europe is finally waking up from many decades of naive pacifism. While the continent is loath to give America credit, this is largely where it's due, as Trump has pulled back on blanket security guarantees. Well, that a…

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
