So what do you use for your hashing function? md5, sha-256, or some of the newer ones like argon2? I don't do a lot directly with encryption algorithms, but need them for https and ssh.

Yes, very much so.

If there is any question about the whether this is a christo-fascist coup, this is likely it.
Women, you may very well have just voted in your last election.

Yup. I'm ALMOST that old (I was in high school during the fall of Saigon), but I distinctly remember the protests. Agreed on the organization, though I think its beginning to coalesce already.

Great analysis! This gets even more exciting when you factor in rotating frames of reference, as most black holes likely carry their angular momentum with them when they form. You would probably suffer lethal shearing before you reached a point of spaghettification.

That's BS, of course, but to realize that, you have to recognize the lie for what it is: a social control mechanism to pacify a restive and increasingly angry populace ... and its unraveling. This is what is so scary to those in power, especially at the corporate level.

There is a concentrated effort on the part of the corporate (MSM) media to normalize the perspective that unless you are part of the privileged, your only value to them is that of a consumer, and, if they allow it, as an employee.

The problem with this is that workers are becoming alienated, increasingly resentful, and less likely to invest their time and energy into keeping these companies afloat. Those workers are also customers, and they are taking their business elsewhere.

Indeed, the overlap between TESCREAL and the Nazi Racial Hygiene movement is eye-opening, and Thiel, Musk, Andreesen, and others at the VC level in SV are very much driven by this emerging quasi-religion: encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/a...

This is all tied into TESCREALism as well (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TESCREAL). I got caught up in transhumanism for a while in the early 2000s, back when Kurzweil was first pushing the idea, until I realized how socially toxic it was if you get past the science fiction trimmings.

I'm guilty of both kinds of writing, alas.

The primary problem with DKGs is a lack of consistency in the meta-models. Most will standardize on some form of RDFS, but beyond that there is no clear mechanism to identify ontologies or organizational schemas. Some of that is changing, esp. w/ the use of SHACL, but it's still inconsistent.

Of course it is. So is X-Twitter. The difference is that there, people generally assume that everyone MUST hear their opinions. Here, we assume that not hearing everyone's opinions is desireable when those speaking are idiots and a$$holes.

I'd assumed Hannibal Lector. He was certainly named frequently enough during the campaign.

A knowledge graph can be thought of as a predicate graph with deeper structures, broken down as follows:
* A schema, in SHACL or OWL
* A working taxonomy for type/categorization
* Entities that have spatio-tempora scope
* An ontology for operations and transformations.

[2] Many service industries are now facing working-poor labour shortages (restaurants, delivery drivers, etc.) even with masking, part of what's causing low-end wages to rise. Start deportations, and this will accelerate. More restaurants have gone under for lack of labour than lack of profits.

There are a couple of correlative factors, though they play into things only longer term. The US, like most countries, is at a net negative for birth rate (about 1.65 children per mother, well below the 2.1 replacement rate), and has been for decades. Most of this has been masked by immigration.

I wonder the same thing pretty much daily of late. I think the collapse is well underway at this point, and it is becoming a challenge to survive, let along thrive, as the foundations liquify underneath us.

Ethics implies that you intend to follow the rules. Trump believes he's above the law. He's not. He has gained entrance to the castle, but he will inevitably piss off the wrong people, as he's shown a real talent for doing.
