Western media has been overwhelmingly one sided regarding state led IP theft for the last three decades. China steals western IP has been the story, and it hasn't been even a little balanced until reading this.

I certainly don't understand all you're saying through this tortured analogy, but yes an "army" of judges that issue rulings is much, much better than an army of soldiers that issue killings

That analogy doesn't work well. Their situation involved foreign powers enforcing jurisdiction and property claims over their land with a regular standing army; a completely different situation than modern immigration

After a couple years I realized the key part of “As an X I want Y so that Z” is the “so that Z”. When managing teams these days, the only part I keep is the “so that Z” — what beneficial change in the world does this ticket make? If the tic

The world saw Anthropic take a possibly company-killing risk wrt weaponizing their AI, and are rewarding them for holding to their values, for now at least. It’s not like anyone owes Sam Altman their business just bc their product has becom

by Erem 4mo ago
Is tire damage proportional to the same figure? If so, heavier cars will naturally require more tire replacements and tire tax collection will more or less match contribution to road wear
54.
by Erem 4mo ago
What reasons wouldn’t also reflect wear against the roads though? I think the idea is to impose a price based on wearing the roads, and a tire tax pretty elegantly approximates that I think
