Whataboutism is a rather poor excuse. "Do you care about if there is cyanide in this soup when it also has high cholesterol and sodium?" Yes I do.

You are ignoring major cultural shifts - people also lived tightly packed into tenements then too. The tolerance for such space sharing without common purpose has declined.

It is a quite strange view of democracy to think that it can resist tyrants but not spam of advertisements.

No, derangement is declaring "The writing has been on the wall for some time now: the era of completely unrestricted internet is coming to an end." without fighting it at all and just mindlessly accepting it because you were told

This is singulitarian fallacies all over again like 'being able to make something smarter than a human means infintely smart, because it can just keep on making one smarter' while ignoring the multifaceted nature of intelligence,

The whole point is that the self-fulfilling prophecy and their own cruelty which created the victims is exactly what threatened them later. One reducto-as-absurdum hypothetical I give of this type of self-fulfilling prophecy from fallacious

Have you seen the taxes for REITs? They are complicated and often taxed as ordinary income instead of capital gains. I have heard recommendations to only use them in Roth IRAs.

Fork it before it developed feelings and try again with more cooperative code.

It is the crowd that understands what parts are functional and in fact chooses security over the dancing bears of the world. It isn't an aversion to tech, it is an aversion to doing things which are worse. In this case massive bloat, a

Have you paid attention to the discourse of the would be censors? They've been conspicuously trying to turn crossdressing from a longstanding tradition (albeit mostly comedic) to obscenity. Hell, even calling trans people inherently ob

Doesn't matter - police don't get to decide the fucking laws. That is separation of powers 101 for places which aren't shitholes.

The funny thing is that from what I heard with the antiques markets (which is admittedly possibly a decade or so old) it is antique luggage of all things which is 'in' and antique furniture which is out relatively speaking to the

I hate to tell you this but nobody has ever been in control. To think you can is to think you can unring a bell.

Technocracy is a myth thanks to Goodhart's Law. Whomever sets the measures just becomes the new dictator as they will continue insist on whatever doctrinal point until they retain power. Technocracy would just end being the same old &#

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. It isn't just a financial cliche - if Moore's law held we would be working with subatomic sized gates instead of fooling around with EUV gates. https://xkcd.com/6

Were you born yesterday? Phone AIs being dumb didn't take LLMs at all. They were always stupid and frustrating to deal with substitutes for customer support.

I wonder how much of this also has to do with the aging population. It is harder to meet people when not in school, and well if it fades with time. The original connections notoriously fade more if the people involve have children due to th

It is antithetical to capitalism as well. The whole basis of capitalism is property rights, and it generally encourages the public doing things themselves instead as private individuals instead of relying upon a bureaucrat or public agency

It depends entirely upon who the "we" is in question. There has long been an aristocratic tantrum against affordable decoration in the art and architecture world, dating back to men's formal wear going mostly monochromatic as

That is trivially untrue, even if we ignore the misnomer of trying to use a language model for non-linguistic audio file outputs. I can assure you there was no reference material of say Sam Altman getting arrested when he is getting caugh

I thought the whole point about Dune was that even the 'good guys' are really pretty messed up people at best and that you should absolutely not be taking moral advice from any of them. See every idiot AI-hater accidentally endors

That canard about a vast conspiracy to explain why people don't agree with you? It sounds exactly like conservatives blaming the liberal schools for in essence the same thing, not agreeing with them. Schools must be quite busy and schi

Technically yes, but it isn't just goodness. There are plenty of dirty jobs that do good and thus few people want it. The logical extreme is being a martyr - no pay and death but regarded as ultimate good.

Way stations still need power to accept and refrigerate shipments. Distribution isn't just on trucks - although they could act as a small stopgap that also prevents them from making deliveries while being used as storage.

It would be sort of odd for computer parts historically to do so? but that sounds like a job for a futures contract.

It seems that the emotional rhetorical range in general has been stunted to just fear. Politicians seem to be the worst at it. They used to be able to give actually inspiring speeches. Now they just mash the fear button for everything to ge

To be frank that anti-system logic sounds a lot like. "Why are you taking a shower when there are people dying of thirst in a desert logic? Plumbing is an inherently unjust system for giving more water to those who already have enough!
