There's really nothing to say when someone's response boils down to, "No" and it's hard to argue that you're adding anything to the discussion here. What did I "mischaracterize" exactly? What was inco

I think a lot of people here are conflating the Forest Service with the Park Service. The Park Service is one of the most successful, most universally beloved government agencies we've ever had, they run the national parks and are a bo

I feel that this article missed a more obvious issue: black hole temperature and mass enjoy an inverse relationship, so a truly tiny black hole could potentially kill you with its radiation alone. Ironically the mass they indicate (1.4 x 10

If we're talking about the surface of the Earth (i.e. no clever "In the core" stuff) then... everywhere. And by surface lets say that we're talking about everything from the seafloor to the upper atmosphere. It would pro

It baffles me that people can't see the writing on the wall for Musk, he's being given all the rope in the world to hang himself with. He's made promises he can't deliver. He's pissed off the ENTIRE federal governme

As with so much of the "news" lately, this isn't real. https://www.reuters.com/world/us/some-us-government-workers-... Musk gave Trump money, and Trump is letting Musk play a bit until consequences

I'm complaining about Musk, and there is no part of my comment history that suggests the pattern of behavior you suggest. I'm not inclined to speak for anyone else though, so if you have a problem with how someone else handles thi

The Kardashians didn't own and run an economically and strategically critical company. There's a big difference between wanting Musk far away from SpaceX, and wanting a communist revolution, just like there's a difference bet

If they're DRM free it will be in the description. If you want to get rid of that DRM all you need is Calibre, a plugin called DeDRM... you open the ASCM file in the Adobe Editions program, copy the file from the root folder into Calib

Sure, then you can always buy a physical copy and pirate a digital one.

I would at least suggest buying a copy (not from Amazon) first, the author deserves a cut IMO and books tend to be relatively cheap. Kobo's store does have DRM, but it's easily bypassed by Calibre, or you can buy elsewhere (local

That assumes you only care about "freedom" in a fairly nebulous sense, as defined by a series of indices. I suspect a lot of people also care about quality of life, how much money they can make, cost of living, speaking the langua

True, but it is interesting, and given that he's "sinned" enough on his own to merit scrutiny it makes for a good headline. The first page gets into the more relevant vetting details though. > Coristine has a brief but col

He constructed an echo chamber with himself at the center and really lost himself in it; the power of people telling you that you're a visionary and a prophet can't be overstated. Ironically it followed a very familiar pattern, on

I don't believe that these comments (and if you scroll down there are quite a few nearly identical ones) are intended to do anything more than find an HN-safe way of expressing an ad hom attack with the hope that people won't read

The degree to which "AGI" appears to be a quasi-religious fixation cannot be overstated. At the extreme end you have the likes of the stranger Less Wrong crowd, the Zizians, and frankly some people here. Even when you withdraw fro

As a warning to all people seeking to verify the claim that economists call this "goon work"... do not just google "Goon work". At the very least, don't do it at work or on a work device. Trust me.

That doesn't stand up to scrutiny, the US is famously politically and ideologically divided. I understand the impulse to say "no, you" but we can do better than that here.

Seeking excellence and demanding ideological conformity at the risk of prison don't seem compatible to me.

by EA-3167 2y ago
If you really understood what that meant, you wouldn't be gloating, you'd be humbly treating other people with respect and hoping that they'd do the same. After all, what goes around, comes around.

It's a less unlikely result, but you're still talking about going from around 7% of the market to 80% in as little as 3 years. That doesn't feel tethered to reality IMO. It seems to be a "line going up must continue alon

Well I think intuitively it should be obvious that we aren't getting from 3.3 million EV's in the US to 228 million EV's in 3 years, so that really makes me question where you're coming from. Doubly so when ICE vehicles

I agree that it's in the future, but the key is how far in the future? Because if it's 5 years in the future then it's very relevant to people buying cars today, but it's 20 years in the future... not so much. And as a p

For context, there are a bit under 300 million IVE vehicles on the road in the US, compared to a bit over 3 million EV's. I'm sure the eventually there will be a shift, but I doubt it's going to be soon, and it certainly won&

I think we hugged that one a little hard. I did manage to get in after a bit though, and... it's not quite what I expected? It's a fascinating resource, but it's essentially a vast collection of quite small and niche stores,
