I think they are saying that people have a tendency to react to their impressions about what is going on, which may not resemble what is actually going on. Being reactive, they are prone to over-reacting. This seems trivially true in the

Respectfully, this is not accurate. Zimbabwe's debts were not denominated in their own currency. You are repeating a claim which has been debunked for decades, and is based on a misunderstanding of how our monetary system works.

Well, we know can't be to "save America from bankruptcy" because as a currency issuer, the federal government of the USA can't go bankrupt the way a currency user like a corporation or state government might.

For anyone else looking at these devices to use with frigate, I found that using the openvino mode on a <$200 intel mini pc was more than adequate for 5 cameras, and probably could have handled more. Glad I tried it out first before bu

I wish those sorts of people would realize that they are showing their whole ass when they act like that. Only the deeply insecure mask their ignorance with arrogance. We can hear your thoughts and feel your motivations.

I never said that we have no fiscal constraints, just that the common misconception is backwards. I also never said that the government chooses the rate. It chooses to pay interest when it chooses to sell securities. I think the popular m

I hate threads like this because of all the misinformed debt hysteria. People like to bring up places like Argentina and Venezuela, but their debts weren't denominated in their own currencies, so they had to collect dollars in order to

Not to detract from anything you said, but what if I told you there is a world where the beings etch arcane glyphs into crystals and then enchant them to do their bidding using esoteric incantations?

I feel you. These "cyber security" people's main qualification appears to be scoring 70% on a multiple choice test. I've seen people with no practical experience building things be paid more than 25+ year veterans (who

I bet the hardest thing about surviving a nuclear war would be remembering how important and reasonable it seemed before the war to make those bombs and use them.

As someone who has purchased a half dozen SBCs over the years but who has also switched to mini PCs the other thing that you start to miss is having a real BIOS so you can install a vanilla operating system. With the SBCs, there is often a

I'm not a physicist or biologist but what's always made sense to me is that anytime you walk outside during the day you are bathed in broad spectrum radiation from the sun. So anything weaker than the sun is probably safe enough.

We can't destroy ignorance and violence but we don't just shrug and let the ignorant and violent run amok.

How predictable the ego's self-defensive reactions are. Merely encountering the suggestion that the ego is a necessary servant but a terrible master and it yelps "I'm not an egotist, you're the egotist!"

How does this compare to Amazon's own offering in this space, the "AWS Storage Gateway"? It can also back various storage protocols with S3, using SSDs for cache, etc. ( https://aws.amazon.com/storagegateway&

What do you do now when there is nothing you have to do? Are all hobbyists doing it to be "better" than someone else? If I get to choose between the status quo, where I have to work for 30+ years to have a chance at an uncertain

You're being pedantic. Your statement that "it's spitting bad data" is incorrect too, as it implies agency. Actually, nothing is happening but electrons flowing. The notion of an "it" that "spits" &

From what I've learned, there are generalist pollinators (i.e. european honeybees) and specialist pollinators (i.e. your local native bees). Generalists can use any plant, but specialists require particular plants to complete their li

We may not have a lot to discuss if your idea of safety is everyone having loaded guns pointed at each other. To me that is an extremely precarious position especially if we have accepted as wisdom that violence, maybe even preemptive viol

By inductive reasoning that's an understandable opinion; human beings have had wars somewhere every day for thousands of years. Is the conclusion that therefore violence is inevitable prescriptive as well? Where do we draw the line b

First we invent a machine to kill, then someone invents a machine to kill that machine, and so on. We call this progress. An endless cycle of violence perpetuated by the pursuit of one group's security at the expense of another'

Negation, being a concept, exists only in the mind. Same with "things". A thing is a noun; a part of speech. The "real world" is undifferentiated quanta.
