This is really no different from any other "engineering visionary" executive, everywhere. These types have a solid understanding of what's technically possible by the laws of physics, but wholly underestimate the feasibility

This is one compelling argument for UBI being far superior to unemployment benefits or welfare. It supports your basic needs, but it doesn't eliminate the incentive to seek employment.

I'm not sure "traditional" anti-vax history or ideology is particularly relevant to the specific matter of anti-covid-vax. The vast majority of those who eschew the current efforts have no problem with the TDAP vaccines, etc.

Physicians don't exactly do the research better than you do. They accept the standard line from their decades-old schooling, or CDC bulletins, or hospital administrators as gospel truth, and may occasionally update their priors in a ye

That was part of it. The other part was "Do what we tell you, or you'll be Joe Nacchioed" In a 2013 interview, Marissa Meyer made it abundantly clear this is why Yahoo "voluntarily" joined PRISM. One can assume the

This is a very good point, and stands in stark contrast with no management or employees of FireEye or CrowdStrike ever being associated with FVEY intelligence services. Nope, it's ONLY the evil Russians. The naïveté of non-Westerners i

Something about this smells a little off. If Moxie can get his hands on these devices and hack them, why can't Apple or Google, with all their resources, seem to be capable of REing them to fix the mobile device bugs they currently exp

That's a gross mischaracterization. He's an IQ and conscientiousness supremacist, which has the side effect of looking like white supremacy. But nobody's going to edit Wikipedia to characterize him as an "East Asian&#x

Build quality is fine on mine. The biggest issue, by far, is the steep rate of decline in battery capacity. I have a 2 year old Model 3 Performance, which started at a 310 mile range. In only two years, my maximum range, at full charge, is

I'm pro-vaccine, and I got my first dose nine days ago, but the media drumbeat that those who already had the infection should get vaccinated anyway, and continue to wear masks, is definitely cause for suspicion. It's a very stran

This is ultimately a matter of perspective. If you're a cornucopian, and you're certain that new technology will unlock much more efficient smelting/separation/filtration/asteroid mining techniques, then sure, gold

We know to a pretty good approximation how much gold is in the earth, and where it is. That's not even a minor consideration for mining geologists and engineers anymore. The primary limitation as of now is ore quality, which directly d

FWIW, it's not just Hoare. It seems that nearly the entirety of the Rust community, people like Klabnik, Cantrill, etc, are solidly Woke. Which is mildly funny, since one of the early guests of On The Metal, Jonathan Blow, is decidedly

Solid take. I don't personally like NIMBYism, and I don't personally like the parasitical nature of landlords or the scheming they engage in to drive their own property values up. But my personal distaste should have absolutely no
