Most of the US, I'm guessing. There are 53 million people living out in rural areas. The vast majority aren't college educated. People just live on a lower standard of living and get by with less. For example, my sister just bough

I believe Wyoming recently passed laws to give DAOs rights as corporations. I am curious if I'd be able to, say, give partial "ownership" or royalties to my users.

I didn't even know who the guy was until today. So, I guess this is what I'm missing by not having television?

I'm looking forward to when the whole supply chain is automated like this. Describe something via text, images, etc. Simulate a CAD model of it. Get estimate how much it'll cost to manufacture. Click buy.

LOL, and of course a large chunk of the comments here are down-voted or flagged. With the rise of wealth over the last couple decades, a lot of people have much more time to entertain themselves. News is (practically free) entertainment, an

Hasn't media (newspapers, radio, television, periodicals, etc.) in the United States always been this way? Why would this time be any different?

I'm pretty new to doing proofs, and I constantly think in words while doing them. Are you saying that there may be a point when I won't think like that? That would be amazing.

So, does he propose a solution? As far as I know, there's nothing to relieve the pain of say, a mood disorder, except for medication.

MSM (I had to look that up) is entertainment. It's designed to entertain people and to make money from ads. The "alternative" media is also made to make money from ads. What do you expect? A lot of people are addicted to news

You make some great points. You actually have me wanting to fire up some turbines. Another possibly good societal optimization: backyard pooping. Good for the soil, saves on maintaining a sewage system, and the odds of getting sick from it

The gifted program was an amazing experience back when I attended in the 80s-90s. It was an all-day, mostly self-directed experience with deep instruction and guidance. It helped a ton of poor kids like me dig their way out of poverty. Howe

I quit about a year ago. At first, I had to get used to the new cadence. I was so accustomed to being amped up all of the time, from work, I had to take time to decompress. My schedule ended up growing erratic, so I had to get on a routine

Well, there are a couple billion people who didn't grow up in a Judeo-Christian societies. And, yet, they seem to have morality and life meaning. So, I think you mean, religion in general. Also, I'm not aware of record of hunter g

I've worked with hundreds of average (professional) developers over the years, and I've only met 1 person who was a 3x developer. I've met several 2x developers and lots of 1.5x developers. I assume a 5x developer exists, but

If you're in Northern Virginia, you'll see that many ex-NSA employees have evolved to also sell personal location data to Saudi Arabia and other despots. There are a dozen of these companies all working in the "ad" space

There have always been copycats. It’s better to worry about usability and business model. Before Google became a monopoly, it was just one of many search vendors. Google’s advantage was that they made search easy and simple enough for grand

I buy new, end-of-year sales models. Drive them and sell them for a slight loss 2-3 years later to Car Max. For example, let's say the new car is $50,000. I wait until it's $42,000 or whatever, buy it, keep it for 2-3 years, and s

I don't know. I'd be pretty upset if I spent many years in a place, learned the language and culture, and indoctrinated myself in the rules and beliefs all to get outvoted (and potentially cast out) by people who did none of those
