This is how people lose credibility. The articles wants to make you think the box is a 3d confinement reminiscent of the drawing. From the description it sounds like it is a 4 square foot cage that the person stands in while cuffed. Yes it’

Here is the fundamental issue: People for the most part value security and community far more than privacy. Even in old days - most people lived in a village with zero privacy than lived out in the wilderness all alone. People passed the in

What is the downside to limiting all movie and software copyrights to 10 years? Source code and materials etc can remain trade secrets if desired? And all IP with a movie as well - including characters. This would stop a studio from forever

That is called being on the other side of an airtight hatch (h/t Raymond Chen) The US has troops, tanks, aircraft, even nuclear weapons stationed in German. Sovereignty vis-a-vis the United States is not something on the table.

I think we can go further. Human attention is the determinant of monetary value. Gold is expensive because it takes a lot of human attention to find and refine it. Food became cheaper when it required less human attention to make it.

There aren’t that many places out of America’s orbit where you would want to live. If by failure you mean fascist and authoritarian, America could still reach you.

I would agree the anti-monopoly action had far more to do with that. Basically, if you you think you can leverage your R&D into maintaining your monopoly and extending it to other areas it makes sense if for nothing else to keep the sma

Here is the thing though. You can’t teach critical thinking like that. You need to teach hard facts and then people can learn critical thinking inductively from the hard facts with some help.

Good point. There is probably a correlation between how fast a human can do math problems and how intelligent they are in general. But a very trivial python program running on a normal computer will beat the fastest human at math problems i

Is this at all similar to how companies share salary data with a third-party firm and then use that firm's data to determine how much they will pay their employees?

This misses something very important. Institutional memory is not information or documents - it's people. Every single real-world process has implicit knowledge. And you can't always capture that knowledge of paper. But, many corp

Is it really most disasters as in more than 50%? Aren’t earthquakes completely unrelated to climate change? And hurricanes have happened long before climate change. And flooding. No matter what, this is a good technology to have and develop

The reason that D did not replace C++, IMO is garbage collection. D was so far ahead of C++98 that it wasn't funny, but garbage collection kept it from being able to be used in the same niche. D has gotten less dependent on garbage col

This drivel is worse than ChatGPT. There is no deep insight. It is highly formulaic and mechanical: 1. Find a controversy 2. Invent a trend 3. Get quotes from some people who agree with you 4. Mention “ethics” all at a very superficial leve
