marriage and kids are crazy things to stack up against house size a bigger house and being a stoner are both fairly unfulfilling. a wife and kids are the most meaningful and joyful things a man can have. i think comparing those to a house a

no idea how this got so heavily downvoted. sorry, but most of these people don't actually have a reason for using it. it hasn't been strongly evaluated for psychological use; there are a few physical conditions for which it can ma

i don't think vim is that bad out of the box. when i ssh into a box and need to get work done, i can install it and use sane defaults with pretty high productivity. i'm used to a plugin- and config-light setup on my personal syste

it's a trade war response to china's long history of walling non-chinese apps off from their billion-odd-user market while happily collecting users, data, and ad revenue from their own apps in other countries. if china removes all

china is a tougher one. she has been strongly positive in the past, as well as strongly negative; now she is much closer to negative. net all that i'd say negative overall.

meta also cannot arrest you here in the US. we should maintain tighter controls on the state's use of data and access thereto because it's the entity we've given a monopoly on violence. that is the appropriate point for contr

i'm not sure how much, if any, game theory you've studied, but an always-cooperate strategy rarely works in repeated, cooperative games.

i agree wholeheartedly. i provided this as an additional set of reasoning for people who are either America-haters or doves.

depends who's doing it. china, for instance, classifies everything they send up as "military" with the ITU to avoid disclosure. the US is a net positive in the world, so our satellites are too.

This is just not true. If you examine recent terms, many cases are decided unanimously and others have judges voting across the aisle. Roberts has been incredibly cautious to avoid this happening and has managed the docket specifically to a

I think the easier framework is this: China has banned her citizens from using most United States-based social networks. This prevents American companies from accruing profit from Chinese citizens and advertisers, and shrinks their potentia

Why would Qantas have the implicit right to the airspace first? Space travel and air travel are both value-added human activities. I can't see why we would always prioritize air travel (particularly in very remote locations like this)

You are considering only short run marginal cost, not long run; i.e., you're not factoring things like amortizing infra build-out. if repaying that is restricted to a smaller pool of customers, prices for them will go up. worse, this i

could y'all look at using gpt4o to auto-generate alt text? i figure it'd be good enough, satisfy reg requirements, and save a lot of time and hassle.

you’re understanding is flawed. the us government exists with the sole purpose of safeguarding American interests and liberty. if collecting chinese’ geolocation helped that, i’d be okay with us doing it. of course, china is objectively wor

you're right, the system is on somewhat shaky ground. many semi- or fully-developed nations face demographic challenges but china is in a much worse position to handle them than we are. but that doesn't mean it's the time to

i don't think it's wrong. you can't fight a bad-faith actor with good-faith actions. china has built an entire nation off lying, cheating, and stealing. we shouldn't be bound to respond by only being nice. attracting her
