The 'obscure' tools are like $5 on amazon/temu/alibaba and include exactly what you need to make the job easy for that specific model. Seems like this law is once again a step backwards. No consideration at all of trade

This would be a great precedent for employees. Just get your HR person to write a policy to provide $1 mil severance to every employee. HR person gets fired, but company still has to pay out.

Of course we all know that no lead exposure is safe, but it's also important to consider the historical context: https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2118631119 Leaded gasoline caused almost the entire popul

It would be interesting to look at a wider range of metrics for some of these fast vs. slow projects. Safety: Did the fast projects result in more injuries or deaths? Social: Willingly vs. unwilling participation. IE seized land vs. sold w

The problem with MAD is that its not MAD anymore. Given missile defense systems and hypersonic missiles it has actually become unclear whether the destruction will be mutual. Each side may believe that their tech can both penetrate the en

Above ground seems more dangerous from an exposed tank point of view. A car could run into it, debris from a wind storm or natural disaster, foul play. These could be mitigated with some kind of containment structure but then you require

There was was also a 'stop ahead' sign that FSD seemed to completely ignore. Very dangerous to accelerate into that blind corner given the warning sign.

Seems ripe for abuse, a well-funded business could simply bid up a competitor's tax.

Commercial realestate seem to be a key example of a free market failure. Everyone just accepts that rents are nowhere near the market clearing price and that buildings are left abandoned. There are many factors at play: covenants, GRM, LTV

Sure they happen, but this should trigger class action lawsuits. "We don't sell your data" is a plainly worded claim, and is blatantly false if/when a company is sold. Companies should be required to say "We don&#x

I would love to see more tests like this. If it works great, if not we can always roll it back.

Maybe if you drank only ultra pure water and ate no food. The osmosis story is clear BS. The instant the water hits your mouth plenty of bacteria and electrolytes from salivia are reintroduced, not to mention all your digestive juices. If

This is a very weak excuse. If preventing scams is the main concern then old people should also be banned from purchasing real estate, timeshares, large donations, perhaps even giftcards in certain quantities. You can't have freedom w

A corporation is just a group of humans. There's also clear governance. The CEO makes the decisions and the board of directors has oversight. The shareholders elect the board members. It's ultimately still a group of humans mak

I think you really nailed the ultimately question: Can technology have agency? If not, then it's just another tool for humans. We are excellent tool users, and leverage everything we can to expand our senses and abilities. We already

The issue with that argument is that it is way too general. IE, suppose one lion has shaper teeth. It uses those teeth to catch antelope more efficiently. The other lions see those sharp teeth as inherently anti-lion because those teeth d

Strange take, do you consider world knowledge produced by humans to be anywhere near 100% accurate? Suppose you had an oracle that when asked a question gives you 5 answers, 1 of which is true. Or even 1 of which is true only 50% of the ti

Ability to simulate quantum chemistry will change the world. We know that self-assembling, self-replicating, energy-generating nanomachines are possible because we have them in our own body. Ability to design, simulate, and optimize these

The city is just so inept. It is such a nonsensical policy to allow encampments but lock the bathrooms and turn off the internet. The city policies force them to defecate in the street/bushes and god forbid they use the internet to se

Is there something special about memory, or is it just another tool for consciousness? It seems like consciousness is the conductor and puts to use whatever it has access to (motor function, sensory inputs, memory). Any of those can be sig

Not necessarily. Demand for goods + services and supply of goods + services can both expand in parallel, this is generally expected in a healthy economy.

The fact of the matter is unless your company is very mature, getting 3 big features to prod in a month even if that means bringing down some system for awhile is generally much more valuable than getting a single feature out with zero down

There is high overlap between customers who leave because their needs aren't met immediately and customers whos needs will never be met.
