People should look at their graph of the times that their app is used. It is decelerating. That would mean that a no-op would actually be measured as having negative value according to the formula provided if measured in the medium term. A

There have been tens of trillions of dollars and other currencies created from thin air the last year and a half. And more is being created currently. This isn’t just the US government. It’s basically all governments in the world. EDIT: Fe

The US won’t allow that for now because of external competition from China and Russia. That would result in the US losing the current Space Race. EDIT: Probably India as well If SpaceX were Russian, Indian, or Chinese, the US would shit its

There are other interpretations/courses of action: - people who are vulnerable should take the vaccine but those who are not shouldn’t; vulnerable need to take boosters every 6 months - masks forever - back to normal and live with it A

You are projecting. I referred to the archetype and trend and not you specifically. No longer in tech.

Picture tech people walking on their treadmills for compensation and then picture gerbils running on wheels for food. Picture tech people drinking Soylent and then picture gerbils eating pellets. The world is whack. People are substituting

It’s a game even without human psychology. The human psychology just adds elements to the game. Whether it ends badly depends on how and for whom you score the game.

Yeah. You are right. The EU imposes a tariff.

I do think that the EV city car is an area where some European car manufacturers have an advantage.

Europe imposes a 10% tariff on imported cars.

Sandy Munro initially praised the suspension but when he dug into its electrical system, he savaged it for cost, complexity, weight, and reliability. It’s more of a mixed bag with Tesla still way ahead. Ford’s advantages will probably be br

The hype brought in people acting with good intentions that you would otherwise not meet and served as a catalyst to chat with people you lost touch with. This metastasized into agenda pushing of many forms (complaining about black men, bot

YouTube overall generates tremendous value for people who view videos on it. There are so many YouTube videos being generated for the amount of money being made that it is not economically feasible to hire humans to review all the videos. E

Sounds like many of the so called lofts that people bought in SF. I wonder what the prices are like for those nowadays? It seems that these places were where tech folk parked themselves before getting married and having children and then mo

Chicago seems to have many high rise condominiums. I think it would be wonderful if San Francisco could convert some of its office buildings into condominiums. Perhaps some should be converted to apartments with some low cost. I think there

There was evidence of the effectiveness of masks. They chose to diminish/ignore that evidence because it was inconvenient to protecting the supply of masks. There were two studies circulating around that time. One of passengers of a bu

A disingenuous article where the author tries to push his agenda of not banning critical race theory by tying it with an article that he said a publisher didn’t want published. The issue is that critical race theory shouldn’t be banned but

Sly injection of American politics by the above poster and entirely bullshit. Biden’s administration has embraced Saudi Arabia just as much. In fact, if you actually look at history, you will see that the US has embraced Saudi Arabia for ma
