That’s all true, but unless you assume technology peaks, the aliens would have passed those points and counter acted all of that a 1000 years earlier. Maybe they have million mile wide EMPs that destroy all our electronics. It’s very hard

To be fair, I have a lot of similar concerns for Universal Basic Income.

Although movies like to portray a hero doing something completely unexpected and saving the day, with odds like this (a species that is technologically advanced as they are, and they will keep advancing in the intervening years), I very muc

I think about this often. I’m in my 50’s and probably one of the youngest people alive that remembers my grandfather well. When I’m gone, will he ever be spoken about again?

Is that true? (Honest question) Whatever the “thing” was that exploded at the big bang (which I read once was the size of a grapefruit for what it’s worth) - could there not have been other similar “things”? And what about where that “thi

What’s a one-off address? It somehow got coins attached to it, and they came from somewhere, which is shown on the ledger. And whoever receives the coins will eventually want to spend them, which will also be shown in the ledger.

Thank you for your comment. It changed my mind about the situation.

If countries are in so much trouble they need the IMF they might not no better (or more likely, have the political options to do what is needed).

The lack of motivation for your dreams is a pretty big red flag for depression. See a therapist and/or doctor. Common anti-depressant meds really help, though you may need to try a few to find the one that works for you. Good luck! :

My friends in Switzerland 30 years ago thought corn was only for animals. It took some convincing for them to try American-style corn on the cob (which is delicious!)

Is this really an issue with C? Isn’t it ultimately an OS config issue?

That’s exactly what an NPC in MY universe would say :)

Oh how I hope you are right, but from what I see, he still has a lot of support and believers.

You are most definitely not alone with that exact bug. Welcome to the club! :)

I’ve wondered if Trump drove the party there or merely exposed and harnessed what was already going on. Either way, as a conservative, I find there is nobody representing me any more.

I think he’s pointing out that cultural norms are getting out of control, and sometimes absurd. Not enough critical thinking is taking place. In it’s place is knee-jerk outrage.

Yes but you show any other individual doing more? Musk deserves some well earned credit here.

That seems pretty hard to believe to me. I suspect they didn’t take into account all the efficiency gains technology has enabled in that time period. Otherwise let’s just increase minimum wage by 100% if it will only raise prices by 3.6%.

But all those workers that have moved on - where have they gone? I can understand restaurant workers moving on for example, but that should mean they have filled positions elsewhere. It just doesn’t seem like the numbers add up. But your

They can be true at the same time: the warnings have different meanings to different people even at different times in their life. I’m coming to realize just how much real trauma there is in the world by having become friends with innocent

That sounds scary - a company even more powerful and competitive that could beat Amazon. Imagine what their abuses would be!

I agree - this is going to make finding the truth so much harder once it’s weaponized as it surely will be. How can representative democracy flourish when you can no longer tell who you want to represent you?

Doesn’t sound like he/she is talking from experience at all but rather a reasonable observation. Why the challenging tone?

Diversity just leads to more attack surfaces that have to be locked down. Doesn’t sound like a good idea. And even if you had it (33% of desktop OSes each on Linux, Windows and Mac), having 1/3 of your company neutralized is still a
