   Why did they seize power? Because they were the only ones pointing out the economic collapse of rural and interior America. Liberals should have been in front of this issue but they ignored it, preferring to hide in coastal urban bubbles an

   Power grids are big. Using hydro for mining means more fossil fuel must be burned elsewhere to make up for inability to import hydro. To give an example of just how big: Los Angeles metro imports power from Washington and Oregon via a HVDC

   It really surprises me. Personally if I see ads in an OS I think of malware and bloatware infested low-end junk. It conveys a strong impression of inferior quality and user-hostility. I know I will not pay money for anything that's goi

   The great e-mail collapse occurred in the late 1990s and early 2000s when spam made it prohibitively difficult for most users to actually run federated e-mail endpoints. At this point it's an amazing pain to the point that very few att

   I've been convinced for a long time that many people exaggerate how busy they are and how many hours they work. Very few people work 90 hour weeks, and of those who do it's often unproductive workaholic wheel-spinning. They'r

    I find it funny that illegal drugs can be a 12-figure business globally and yet people seem to think it's just street level gang bangers doing this. Now who would have a vested interest in people thinking that? :) I'm sure there a

    I've wondered if this might not also be a strategy to drain the labor market of talent that might otherwise work for a competitor or found a competing or disruptive startup. There is a limited amount of good engineering talent.

    If your underbelly is that soft you have major security issues. There are dozens and dozens of ways to get a network probe behind a firewall. Pretty much anything that can be told to fetch anything anywhere can possibly be used. HTML can do

    You mentioned health which is a valid concern, but integrity? It depends on the context of course but saying this generally invokes naturalistic fallacy moralizing-- that anything not "natural" is wrong.

    Heavy stimulants are like running your car with NoS all the time. You'll get amazing performance until your engine fires a rod through your hood. Bowie had a near psychotic break. Much lighter use however may be more sustainable. There

    Yes, but I mean something more general purpose and developer friendly. If I'm writing a mobile app that needs heavy compute (too heavy for small mobile devices) can I distribute that compute across larger peers like desktops, NAS boxes

    I feel like it's approaching a tipping point. We have good decentralized networking, storage, currency, etc. A missing piece is decentralized compute at scale. That's hard, especially for security reasons. It's too bad Amazon

    I'm not saying there is no value to incremental improvement, just that there is a qualitative difference between that and true invention and that the latter has stagnated since roughly the early 1970s. The former makes things faster&#x

    Identity politics is quite regressive. I left that out but it's another example of 70s-liberalism and as such has become a part of the great synthesis. I'm not sure I buy the latter part. The still-innovative cities and regions of

    All of that is incremental and evolutionary. Here's a good example of what I mean. Fundamental invention: radio. Before radio communication via invisible waves over long distances was impossible. After radio it wasn't. This is a

    Around the early 1970s, the great watch-word of the culture became "back." This came primarily in two forms: back to nature (left), and back to the Bible (right). Under the hood both embrace the naturalistic fallacy (natural equal

    Looking at the benchmarks it looks like they've matched the top-end Core i7, which is good (especially for the price) but not a game changer. Might get them back in the game. Given that they seem to have reduced their power consumption

    In most human cultures and subcultures it is acceptable to be an asshole to out-groups. My point was that your average left-leaning person is not immune from this.
