Leaded gasoline? TV?

It doesn't matter what the law says. Special services will anyway use everything that's technically possible, don't be naive.

How can this possibly work in practice? Or does it pertain only to mobile devices (non-jailbroken ones, that is)? Otherwise i can't see how can it work.

Why a delay? TFR can be measured precisely enough over very short intervals of time. Essentially, delay in a feedback control mechanism is only the duration of pregnancy term that makes an abortion illegal. A few months, not years.

Same problem here. "Just give airlines of nations that don't tax fuel, a boost at the expense of your own ones".

by anovikov 1y ago
Well, problem here is that airlines are under control of national regulatory agencies while flying internationally. Sure, a mandate of say, drastically improving comfort levels by making something like an old-style business class seat (38&q

Why bother with families at all? Just introduce a market-based wage for having a kid, paid till the age of 18, inflation adjusted, but set at new every year based on supply and demand (say decide you need TFR of 2.1 and that's it). Poo

I believe that free (taxpayer funded) schools should not teach kids anything that will let one of them succeed vs others. Simply because the overall result - educated and cohesive society - not individual success - is their product. Otherwi

Railroad system in the Northeast was more or less complete by 1860 and by 1880, everywhere. Miles of railway tracks in us went in reverse from ~1917 with more dismantled than built. I believe the reason why carriage making was viable on low

by anovikov 1y ago
This. Carmaking is not viable on small scale the way carriage making is. If they all pivoted, perhaps 10 instead of 1 would have survived through 1929, the fate of all others would be the same - except staying carriage makers till the end t

Thing is, those companies can't do much if whole lines of business will become obsolete. Behind every company, there is a core competence that forms the value and the rest of the business is just a wrapper. When core competence is wort

I think this is the best way to build features. Build something that people want! If people didn't want it ChatGPT won't recommend it. You got a free ride on the back of a multibillion dollar monster - i can't see what's

To put it in comparison, accident rate of helicopters is 71x that of airliners per flight hour, or at least 250x per kilometre flown, or at least 20x per flight. Per flight, this is 1980s airliner level, per hour, 1970s level, and per kilom

American exceptionalism is a very simple thing: USA is the only country in the world in which right and physical ability of private citizens to invest into productive economic assets is a necessary cornerstone of existence of the nation its

Totally disagree. Whenever i tried to get anywhere through perseverance and grind i usually failed or if i succeeded, the result wasn't at all worth it. All good things happened simply because of someone's mistake. Easy money is t

You mean, Jews' support of Israel is weakening? How is that possible? They understand that not having their own state they will be back to pariah status worldwide even if simply for not having a place where they can surely go if threat

by anovikov 1y ago
Well, other countries are not supporting Israel because they are nice or they love Jews. It is because Jews run things in those countries. They control media and they control a lot of political machines. And that is not about to change.
679.
by anovikov 1y ago
Well, Israel could never come into being if it cared about any of that. If Jews obeyed laws - that were, in those times, specifically instituted against them in all-Christian Western world, and similarly antisemitic Islamic one - they'

I can't see what's wrong about it. Israel needs to solve Palestinian problem in one way or the other.

So it means that indirectly, developers' salaries are not a taxable income in Canada if they are working on R&D? Meaning, they do pay taxes on their income, but their employer gets those taxes back, so if tax is 60%, the employer c

Sad truth is that we probably don't see any AI effects on hiring yet, or maybe only minimally so. For now, this is just normal cyclic shit. The worst is yet to come.

That's what i went through several times, until i stopped trying. Thing is, there's no point asking: those who made it, have no idea how they did, and those who didn't, are just as clueless as us two so their opinion doesn&#x

And that's a good thing. Because if not that, we'd be stuck in a civil war. Only other things that exist in public universe except money are either hard power, or radical ideas.

Indeed this is the big reason of why economic growth rates in rich countries and especially those of them with low inequality, is slower. Because the primary factor that pushes people to work, is much weaker. It's not the only reason (

That creates a picture of a government structure that does it's job well. I am not sure what in this text should lead people to become concerned.

Only problem is that it requires totalitarian world government to do it. There is that thing called competition. Societies where people aren't pushed to work by fear of hunger, homelessness, and social exclusion, will very quickly lose

Why doing so if they can do it in US where there's little to no bullshit of that sort, and way more investment dollars than in Dubai?

A friend of mine bought a house with a heat pump, poorly installed, that didn't work at all. Had to just install a petrol boiler and hook it to the same radiators. Contractor that originally installed it is out of business. And in Amer
