"No Snowflake in an Avalanche Ever Feels Responsible" You're right - we need to cut more. We'll save more lives if the US government stops the rate at which it is currently spending. The interest on our debt is currently

All human relationships have inequalities. Attempting to use the government to destroy hierarchies is utopian bullshit. It always leads to worse outcomes than intendent because humans are imperfect. Intentions should never be the measure of

If you're a politician you can tax $500 from one productive member of society and redistribute $100 to four unproductive and lazy members. You get four votes instead of one. It's called job security.

Agreed - it also doesn't understand rights. A right to someone's labor is slavery. It's great to have robust social programs. However, they aren't a right - they are benefits. Changing the definition of rights is a trick

It's a voluntary agreement between people. It's not immoral to pay minimum wage to someone when they both agree. I find it to be immoral for the government to force themselves into the agreement. Only ~1% of people in the US make

Yeah - this blog is delusional. The economy IS people's trade relationships. Consumption doesn't halt it shifts. If AI "replaces jobs" aka makes the job significantly cheaper then people will work on other things that pr

Yes, because we need to respect private property rights. All criticisms of people using money to corrupt government is actually a criticism of government power. You need to limit government's coercive power.

I used to work in government contracting and was forced to hire people for their skin color and not their qualifications. In my case, the person was vastly under qualified and occupied a much needed senior position. I originally rejected hi

Banality of evil. The state has a monopoly on coercive force and therefore it is important to have limiting principles in government. Otherwise, government will perpetually use its force to expand and impose on liberty.

There was a security engineer at my work doing something similar to this. He wanted to use LLMs as an IDS. I begged him to use BPF and stop wasting sprint cycles trying to reinvent a shittier slower wheel.

Publish or perish. Academia requiring PhDs to publish or be fired. It's made entire fields echo chambers and prone to political influence.

There you go again -you want the US government to solve the world's problems. Also, you're passively calling the WHO an infective organization because it can't handle this outbreak on its own without US funding. That implies

The US is not responsible for fixing every world issue. Just because they've helped in the past doesn't make them morally responsible for every current and future crisis.

I can explain why I doubt him. The evidence supporting his claim is a screenshot of an Excel spreadsheet with several columns excluded. It appears to have been exported from the DeviceProcessEvents table within the advanced threat hunting s

I'm a cyber security incident responder. Firstly, let me claim my bias - I don't trust Kerbs after his FUD reporting about the CVE totally not losing funding. I started my cyber career in federal government contracting as a SOC An

Your statement is a general misunderstanding of how markets work. The role of the market is not to be self balanced but to facilitate trade. Markets are voluntary exchanges between individuals and organizations. Markets work because people

I’m constantly amazed at the socialist argument that forcibly taking the labor of some people to benefit other people is considered “efficient” Also... The idea that wealth hoarding inherently leads to inequality is flawed. If by “wealth” y

I couldn't agree more - the data stored in data centers have "some" value, otherwise people wouldn't pay to host it. This author anecdotally comments about his experience while pearl clutching about the environment, typi

It is harmless - you don't like the aesthetic so your scale of "harm" is irrelevant.

How about you stop advocating for using the coercive power of the state to ban harmless speech or things you simply dislike? If a property owner wants to allow billboards on their building, they have every right to do so.

You're misunderstanding what is happening. Harvard is a private institution that takes funding from the federal government. The federal government is reviewing the funding under allegations of anti-Semitism: -In November 2023, the U.S

Yes - wake me up when there's real fascism and a not political opposition using rhetoric to scare monger their base. You're misrepresenting your political opponents views to justify feeling morally superior. I bet you've neve
