I have 20/20 vision and this presentation hurt my eyes. I'm glad my browser has "reader mode" to normalize things like this. I'm not trying to yuck someone else's yum. I simply appreciate the technical ability

Politicians are lazy, sure. I also believe that hearing sustained and prolonged resistance to X as a communication platform will make a difference. It's real grassroots effort.

Yes, yes! I might be old enough to remember when that happened.

Okay, how did I break the guidelines per your assessment? I'm genuinely curious.

Because they are both part of the SpaceX Company. They are intimately tied together.

Excellent question. My definition is admittedly qualitative. I spend a fair bit of time listening to commentary by people who are connected to policy decisions at the state and federal level (in the USA). An unusual amount of people admit t

Fair points. I would say that classifying an argument as "silly" without any supporting evidence is borderline ad hominem because it doesn't make a substantive critique of the assertion, and instead colors the character of th

No, I did not claim "a massive percentage of the population accessed the internet (via starlink)". Try again. I said that people in REMOTE regions, by which I mean those who are underserved by traditional internet access such as f

How so? Defend your position. (edit: I genuinely don't understand how your replies are anything other than ad hominem attacks. Your responses are about as effective as a toddler asking "why?" over and over and over again. Eit

lololol. Obviously you don't know any Ukranians.

Yes, yes, and yes. Let's revive RSS. It's still good, even if it's been on the floor beyond the "five second rule".

I forgot to reply to your message last week. Thanks for this perspective. While I don't know much about the details of Russia's influence operation on Brexit, it seems highly plausible that exacerbating tensions between the UK and

I agree that SV's regressive culture is a problem. I've seen it up close. I don't have a solution, but I am concerned about where this trend might lead us.

Ok. Show your work. Which social network has larger reach than X? Which social network has stronger influence on humans who make policy decisions than X? Which internet provider can deliver reliable access to remote regions than Starlink? W

Unfortunate, yes. Futile? No. Remember that AT&T once had a firm grip over human communication. That didn't last. Remember that AOL once had a firm grip over how a massive percentage of the population accessed the internet. That di

Why do you believe it's "just as easy to plant a seed for people to latch on to"? Please provide some basis, whether it's first hand experience or published research. I'm open to the possibility that I'm misinf

You're very correct. It's much, much easier to amplify sentiment that already exists, as opposed to attempting to manufacture sentiment from nothing at all. That's been true for as long as propaganda has existed, afaik.

The issue is that "whoever" isn't a single homogeneous entity. I would presume that someone in the organization spotted the discrepancy. Having worked closely with (and sometimes for) large corporations, I cannot presume that

IIRC, most wifi enabled televisions have internal antennae. Remove that (or otherwise disable it) and you significantly improve your security posture by ensuring the radio can't hold a connection beyond the TV bezels.

The best simple and easy answer is "Never connect your television to the internet, ever."

At the Federal level, absolutely. I could imagine that California and New York could work together to affect meaningful change. It would still be tough because specialty finance regulation is unlikely to generate the type of constituent res

Based on my experience on the fundraising side, I'm inclined to agree with your perspective. One small nit to pick: I think policy changes can happen. However, it's hard for me to imagine meaningful change occurring before a cat

There is an explicit claim in the essay that says they aren't all the same. Third bullet point says "a handful of venture capital firms have become 'do everything' funds that combine private equity with their existing VC

A bunch of those names sound fake, like they should be from Fallout instead of Los Alamos. But then I remember that I know someone who worked at one of those companies.

Yes, and the technology to improve the interface you described is already available to run hundreds of concurrent instances on a 1U server. The barrier to entry is getting the people who manage those systems to care enough to implement some

This demo makes a good first impression, but the lack of technical details makes this post feel more like an advertisement instead of a topic of discussion.

Whenever someone uses the word "fair" about taxes, I assume they mean we should reverse course on the decades-long pattern of reducing the tax burden on companies and the wealthiest individuals here in America. Fair taxation isn&#

I came into this thread with the same question in mind. Then I looked at the poster, who created their account less than an hour ago. I'm going to move on to something else now.

I wish I could be surprised by this revelation. Not going to happen. I am, however, mildly impressed by the commitment to petty, spiteful, and vindictive behavior across the Administration. It's more than a shtick. It's a lifestyl
