  • Honestly, Cosby’s fall was larger than Kanye’s.

    Unless you were alive in the 1980’s it’s hard to understand how beloved Bill Cosby was.

    It was probably on-par to how Mister Rogers is remembered today.

    He went from that to being completely persona non grata.

    I think Kanye’s fall is nothing in comparison to that; especially considering that he still has a career even though it’s not as successful as it used to be.

    My stubborn position is that all fruits are vegetables.

    Anything that comes from a plant (vegetation) is a vegetable.

    EDIT: Reading up on the case, they apparently didn’t treat fruits and vegetables as disjoint sets but rather with fruits as a subset of vegetables. So far, so good…

    HOWEVER, they also apparently ruled that tomatoes don’t count as a fruit because they aren’t eaten for dessert…

    Wow… just… wow.

    No, they wouldn’t.

    They would exist outside of our universe (since they created the universe), so the rules of physics in our universe don’t apply to them.

    Even if the reality they existed in had something equivalent to atoms, it would be inaccurate to call those “atoms” since they are in different realities.





  • Portable digital identities are still an unsolved problem, even with Nostr.

    They take a step forward in portability by using public keys, but that comes with a step backwards in multiple other dimensions like being able to recover your identity, key rotation, and just general ease of account maintenance.

    I think Nostr is an important step in the right direction, but won’t be suitable for general use until those issues are addressed, and addressing them might require more drastic changes than simply adding an additional layer on top of it.
