Your argument is that spinning a dynamo with steam is the equivalent of "faster horses"? That's completely nonsequitor. It's literally so absurd I don't even know where to begin.

I'm not aware of any stigma around .xyz. What gives it a very bad rep?

If your computer program perjures itself who is liable? I mean, realistically no one because Di$ney but maybe they should get enough of a wrist slap to update their algorithm to prevent this sort of thing in the future.

You can easily harm people with ai. I can hypothetically harm people with ai today (fake news, etc). I can't harm people with fake moon life. AI already poses a greater threat to humanity than moon life ever did.

The article is literally about bisexual and same sex behavior. So in this case it would not make sense to include heterosexuality, even though that is the most common.

LGB describe sexual attraction. T describe gender identity. They likely stem from very different causes/genetics. This is not meant to dismiss anyone's identity or experience, just pointing out why gp would "drop the T".

I have ADHD but growing up we didn't know that. I threw a lot of tantrums and was yelled at until I cried almost every day. I was grounded for months on end, which is now considered child abuse. In my house yelling was the norm. My mom

I worked at a government "lab" (MITRE) that maintained the IRS system. The system was allegedly so complicated that if the tax code and the software conflicted, the software won. The stack is legacy and intentionally on minimal li

Wasn't the lower class overwhelmingly pro brexit? They are xenophobic.

That's my personal rule too. The problem is that those rules are only for Arabs. Israelis get a free pass here. This is the double standard.

Absolutely. My family all works in tech and we don't say anything about the Israel/Gaza war. Any time you say something that isn't unequivocally pro Israel you are opening up a can of worms. It's not worth losing your jo

They you win at capitalism? By "exception" I interpret that to mean "someone who is capable of financial forethought".

That's subjective but I like the Economist a lot. NYT is fine. It is what is it but it's a lot better then e.g. CNN.

If you want to change someone's mind about unions then one-off links to court cases is not going to work. You'll need to really target the idea of unions themselves instead of finding bad PR. For example, I could go find PR of &qu

While we don't know if Musk was involved in this legal approach, it absolutely reeks of Musk. What corporation, other than an Elon corporation, would make a labor rights case about the constitutionality of a century-old labor rights de

4 kinds of people. 1. People who love taking advantage of capitalism. 2. People who begrudgingly take advantage of capitalism. 3. People who understand capitalism but pout about it. 4. People too stupid to understand capitalism.

That's right, almost everything you buy is a financial liability. Debt glutton is a very loaded term. I bought 2 houses in the pandemic but I did so thoughtfully, after much research. My income can fully cover both mortgages and living

Can you explain why you think this is a Chinese supply chain attack? The chip isn't fabricated in China. The fab doesn't have access to the HDL source code so no one can just code in malicious registers. They'd need modify so

By your logic the following argument holds. > Any income differential that results in a power imbalance makes the world worse. And that might be true but I think it misses the point of the argument. Increasing the quality of life for the

Depending on your priorities, Malort is either a must have or a must hide. My friends and I bought some at a liquor store on Chicago much to the shopkeeper's hesitation. It's one of the most bitter things I've ever drunk but

I used to agree with you, and to an extent I still do, but being able to carry the reader through the text by providing filler makes my writing appear more clear even if it's actually has lower information density. I do this with speak

It makes my job at writer much easier. If I don't want to think about prose I can copy chat gpt and get 80% of the way there with very little effort. Most stuff I write is for my coworkers or Hacker News so I don't mind. When I wr

I love the Economist and I have gotten a lot of positive feedback on my writing whenever I try to adopt their tone.

I promise you I did not! But I have recently started changing my "prose" to be more clear, layering information thoughtfully, and spending more words on filler (e.g. The Author Suggests). I definitely learned part of it from readi
