I largely agree with your friend. There's a big difference between it being possible, and it being adopted. A startup could come out with cutting edge AI integrated eCAD tools tomorrow, and ten years from now Apple will still be using

Yes, until they send over an AI hallucinated manifesto which is 100x longer than the email would have been.

I like the look of them, but have never understood what people actually use them for.

Reminds me of when I visited Huaqiangbei for the first time in 2024. I had a vision of a cyberpunk tech market full of unique, hacked-together gizmos and gadgets, and was very disappointed to find that every stall sold the same knockoff air

Those are not inalienable rights either, they're legal rights. Here, courtesy of Cornell law: "An inalienable right is a fundamental entitlement inherent to every person that cannot be sold, transferred, or taken away by the gover

You're proving my my point, the right to bear arms is a constitutional right, not an inalienable right. Please look up the definition of inalienable.

You can lose a war, yet still keep your country. You can also win a war, yet still need to repopulate.

They might, if they had a national registry of grip strength. Until then I suppose they'll stick with using the nearest proxy.

A little crazier — the old were once young, and could have been voted into a war themselves.

If you can't hold individuals responsible for signing contracts on the premise that they might not read them, you've simultaneously invalidated most contracts, increased the cost to enter a contract (essentially subsidizing the la

> The inalienable right to free speech doesn't extend to defamation and fraud You have a strange definition of "inalienable".

You asserted that free speech was an inalienable right, they provided an example showing it's not. They also could have mentioned: NDA's, hate speech, threats, incitement, purjury, defamation, security-clearances or state secrets.

by SauntSolaire 7mo ago
To be clear, I do agree with everything you've said here — I just disagree that freedom of speech is an inalienable right, and I don't think there's ever been a time or place where it has actually been considered one. If it w

I get that you're not a free speech maximalist, but that's still signing away a basic freedom.

Freedom of speech is far from inalienable. Non-disclosure agreements are most relevant, but every country on earth also has at least some regulations regarding hate speech, threats, incitement, purjury, or defamation — not to mention securi

by SauntSolaire 7mo ago
That would also preclude non-disclosure agreements. I'm curious if you also find those unreasonable?

What's the need for a non-disparagement clause then? If they're a current employee, you have their continued employment as leverage.

by SauntSolaire 7mo ago
There's (perhaps unfortunately) nothing stopping you from signing away your freedom of speech.

by SauntSolaire 7mo ago
A good reminder not to sign contracts with non-disparagement clauses, if you can help it. Seems like good territory for California to ban like they did with non-competes. At the very least they should be restricted from inclusion in severan

You're missing the negative affect node of the Koob addiction cycle, which exists for gambling but to a lesser degree than for nicotine.

> Not careful enough apparently: Nicotine isn't that addictive on its own, tobacco is. That is a very strong claim to make when the current scientific consensus strongly disagrees.

The demand for oil will likely never truly go to zero; too many products (outside of energy generation) rely on their byproducts. As for the bigger picture — yes, higher prices for oil might spur extraction in regions outside of the middle

Just wanted to say thanks for this, I was literally looking for something like this a couple weeks ago. Looking forward to more people using it to see how useful the friend-of-a-friend feature turns out to be.

That makes sense, they were by far the prettiest apples at the orchard near me. Of course that just makes it all the more disappointing when you go to eat one.
