What do you win at the end of the race? I've never heard it concisely put. 'Dominance' is the word that comes to my mind, but I don't want to put words in your mouth and don't really know why that would inherently b

You're conflating society with the white collar job at hand. Yes, if you don't provide value for shareholders, your life is worthless _to that company_. The company is in the business of making money. The businesses goals are a mi

There's no value in life, but life should be allowed to exist. Who's to say otherwise? The lifeless dust and rock of the moon is an simpler value proposition to quantify than the messy intrinsic value of overlapping, ever-changing

THIS is going to be the limitation of capitalism. Capitalism isn't compassionate. It's a really good economic framework though, so it will be interesting how that's reconciled in the coming years

Doesn't that just mean that the merits will be unspoken and implied by what the enemy is saying as they speak to your deficits? If I'm short with a bad temper, then implicitly I'm NOT a bad enough public speaker, or that woul

But I guess my line of thinking is the need for these things will be lesser. The hypothesis is society will decrease proportionally There will still be firemen, there will just be less firemen than if measured against "now."

The "land for turn" concept is genius. I'd say only once though. If you draw another land, that's the nuts.

You should look into "cube" formats and cube drafts. You might be able to go to your local LGS (gaming store) to set up a cube draft. If it's a cube that uses vintage cards you can usually print proxies for the ultra expensiv

I'm never watching this movie again. The dead silence to 100dB boom was unreasonable, dangerous, and amateurish filmmaking. And not the least of which Atomic bombs aren't that loud.

I doubt it. I've ruminated a little on this and what I think is that as people start dying off, the survivors will find a rather pleasant existence before the end. People start dying off, and all of a sudden housing prices go down. The

We should get the AI to launch all of the world's nukes at one spot to make the biggest boom we possibly can to mark "world independence day." It would require a little blind trust on the part of a few different nations, but

You can "do" whatever you want, you just see patterns in the white noise and call it coincidence

Humankind is extinct but the AI servers try and use "the world's information" to recreate what life was really like. Each simulation of the world created using the information stored in a Google-like archive is considered it&

Seriously. EVERY game style that is now on the app store with ads between levels was completely free and hosted on sites like kongregate, ebaumsworld, or other flash game sites. Incremental games specifically were available in droves. It wa

There is the concept of gallows humor. Sometimes you have to sardonically smirk at mortality.

The major radio stations are ads. You have the actual ads for cars/lawyers, then the pop music which is ads for the marketable personality. IF the radio station is popular and caters to an older crowd, it will play the hits of that gen

Why do we need to fine tune away that charm? You want to turn it into a droll ticker tape of information? That's boring.

I put my PSP from highschool into one of those "lending libraries" about town where you can put in books and such and people can just take from the little slot. Hopefully some kid enjoys the ~2004-era PSP complete with hacked firm

One of the reasons I try and buy music equipment/instruments from Japan is that the assumption is that it will always work (It's inconsiderate to sell someone a literal brick of garbage), so yeah, I'd agree. Junk simply becom

So you're giving me an idea for my midlife career change CV. Lead with the cool and interesting fact above all else, then have the normal CV menu fare at the end. Hmm this is also drumming up the hard question of: What have I actually

Is that because juniors want to leave their name on something? I ask honestly since I shared a lot of the same sentiment as you, and never quite got an understanding as to why working on the cool new thing was "more fun" even if a

You don't need to push the needle as a junior though. It's a "completed project" where one can glean many insights. And the matter of transferrable skills is simply a matter of being able to say how what you learned appl

The butterfly effect gets insane with that one, but it's kind of an interesting alternate future to think about.

All fusion reactors by definition (to my understanding) don't produce the same waste we're used to since it doesn't require fission. The byproduct is literally helium. If a catastrophe happens, the reactor implodes instead of

Nuclear won't be ready until fusion (so if ever). The only safe nuclear is when the byproduct is helium
