A lot of markets can't support more than a couple of competitors. And in many cases, you can't easily open a new company because of upfront expenses. E.g.: an emergency room.

I saw that psychosis happening in real time with a coworker. It absolutely is a real phenomenon. After a while, he started presenting ChatGPT's replies as the absolute truth. I don't think there ever has been something that can _a

Typically you don't have enough surface area for that. The walls are thick enough that thermal conductivity into an ambient-temperature liquid alone is not going to be sufficient.

Throwing in pro sports is at least harmless for people who don't care about pro sports.

Nice! Do you plan to provide secondaries? I would love to have a primary on my home IP and a secondary available from outside in case my connection is down.

I like React. I made sure that all of the interactions in our app that don't require a server round-trip are instant, without any annoying undead skeletons and animations. This works really well because we keep most of the data in RAM

Totally agree. We also need to deduct the cost of the eventual remediation and cleanup. And the cost of resettling people from the ghost towns once the oil runs out.

> ‘Months of US supply’ == large portions of the world GDP. The world's yearly GDP is around $120T a year. 1 billion barrels at $50 per barrel is around 0.04% of that.

Russia lost nearly 2 decades of development post-WWI. And had a widespread hunger in 1930-s with 4-8 million people dead (we _still_ don't know the accurate number). Even just looking at the industrial growth rates, the socialistic eco

No. It's _extremely_ important to keep in mind the actual scale of these kinds of projects. When people are saying about "energy rush" and "vast reserves", it's important to keep mentioning that the total amoun

It is. But also not game-changing. And we don't have an infinite number of wildlife preserves that we can throw under the bus. Arctic development is also expensive, and even the planned projects would have been impractical without alre

It's important to keep in mind the scale. The US is producing around 15 million barrels of oil per day. The projects mentioned in the article, combined, would be less than 6 months of the US production. It's important for the loca

The density of modern racks makes me wonder why they would want so much space. There's just no way to power all of that. Storage? Even that is now ultra-compact.

Not so. For example, in France all the police are overseen centrally, and the president can take direct control. The US is actually unusual in that the President does not have _any_ local control over police. You'll see a similar patte

BTW, another example of autonomy is the fact that Trump had to send ICE agents in the first place. He could not just order the local police to perform the raids, there's simply no chain of command for that. In Russia, it would have bee

Well, it was a great product in 2005!

States absolutely have autonomy. And not just on paper. And a lot of it is just in the amount of friction that the federal government can get. E.g. Trump sent ICE goons to MN and now he's embroiled in dozens of lawsuits because of that

There are deep problems with _both_ arguments. Your "happy fun chart" does not include negative effects from the _types_ of jobs that are available now. Nearly all good jobs are now concentrated in dense city cores, in the ever-dw

As a Russian national: no, the USA is not yet at nearly the same level of corruption. The main bulwark against Russianification is not the Congress or the SCOTUS, it's the true federative nature of the US. States have a lot of very rea

They don't actually _need_ to do any of that. They can just license the technology to automakers and local operators.

The cost of Waymo cars is immaterial right now. They are not production models, they are test mules. So you might as well make them nice-looking. Real mass-production cars will be comparable with regular cars in price. The sensor suite is n

That's not a Google product per-se, and it's also not new.

Can you name a good new Google product then? I just can't remember anything recent. I can't even remember any good recent _improvements_ to their core products. If anything, recent changes are more like downgrades than upgrades.

The proof of the first incompleteness theorem is a very technical way of constructing the statement: "The truth of this statement is unproveable". In the software form, it can be restated as: "there is no finite program that
