A well established movement pushed by people who are first in the line to get the land, as opposed to the people they took that land from. It doesn't take long to come to the realization that everyone everywhere is on "stolen land

There is the long standing problem that if you build a road for others, and others get unfathomably rich using that road, you end up looking pretty dumb.

People use a model as their daily driver, get very familiar with it and it's behavior, and then go and use another model and have a hard time. It's very difficult to separate "the model is bad" from "the model works

Perhaps it was my mistake to rely on the colloquial meaning of "in it for the money".

They are in it for manually appreciating their own assets, which has the intrinsic effect of generating wealth. A better way to frame it that doesn't hinge on the colloquial vs literal meaning of "in it for the money".

This is missing the forest for the trees on the level of "I have spent time around photographers, and let me tell you, they are obsessed with lenses to the point that it defines their existence". From a billionaire POV, money is w

Taxes are money that they lose control of. There is a reason Bill Gates didn't just write the IRS a check for $175B and created the Gates foundation instead.

Sure, she can cancel on 9 other cities so everyone here can get a chance. A fix for us, but really just taking from someone else. But that's fine, lets ditch the stadium, and move to a park. The park measures greater than 1,000,000 sq.

I think the most chronic misunderstanding in the "billionaire" rhetoric is that billionaires are in it for money. People who work a job they don't like because they need money to live, view money as the objective in life, bec

If you pay attention to how people spend their money, and not what they say (i.e. actions speak louder than words) People really love billionaire owned businesses. We can look at Walmart, which eviscerated mom&pop stores all over rura

The housing crisis has one problem and it is identical to this one: Taylor Swift is coming to the local stadium to play a concert. There are 1,000,000 fans in the area that would like to see her live. The stadium seats 100,000. How do we re

For people without exposure to Hasidic Judaism, it's way more "deranged cult" and way less "Jewish people". I don't know any Jews who have anything good to say about them. Nor does anyone else for that matter.

I think the real killer is that every knows their data has been leaked six times over, and yet nothing bad has come of it for 99% of people. If there was an apocalyptic privacy breach that lead to 40% of the population losing their savings,

China wants everyday people data because some of those people will get power one day, and China wants to be able to leverage knowledge of you, perhaps even "deep dark secret" data, if they need to.

Letting someone do something is different than being unable to stop someone from doing something. Your response even implicitly acknowledges this, but then you seem to miss it. Its very naive to mistake leniency in Xi's playground with

This is crushing precedent for Europe. Maybe they'll have access to CCP models, but China will likely soon do them same. Maybe they will allow access but you must use it on their servers (i.e. share everything you do with the CCP). Per
