I love how people think Elon is "evil" when it's clear people who interpret his banter this way have 100% fallen for his trolling. I chuckle at "journalists" / people who snidely respond to his tweets thinking

To be frank, conflating healthcare and higher education is quite a mental leap. Yes, they both have problems and are "free" in other countries - in either case, nothing is really "free".

"mandatory spending" - right I take a bigger issue with programs like student loan debt forgiveness which would be a slap in the face to poor people like myself who worked their way through college in order to no longer be burdene

Alright, I'll take that as a "no".

If you've spent any amount of time in China, you realize that the people of china are complicit but not responsible for the rise of the CCP, because china doesn't hold elections - it is not a democracy. Unfortunately, given the g

The worst case scenario is a democratic super majority where CA and it's insanely mis-managed cities are bailed out by the federal government. Think GM Auto Bailout, but this time for an entire state... This is coming from someone who

Most motivated people with the means to scrape enough cash together to even try to start something dislike legislation and the idea of "redistribution" because usually these plans raise far less money than politicians think, but m

With policies like this, why would anyone in their right mind (I say this as a staunch progressive) start a business in SF or even consider traveling to the Bay Area for the benefits of huge equity packages? Even if you choose to willingly

Nice to see Glen Greenwald has pushed the general media to finally at least mention or talk about Hunter Biden's insanely sketchy activity with the chinese. It should be more obvious than ever that china is NOT our friend.

Well arguably, like it or not, capitalism has been the single largest economic force behind millions being lifted out of poverty and into the middle class world-wide. Globalism has only helped this. So one could say that capitalism is t

A "critique" that seems to have never really "worked yet" or burned itself out every time? I don't lack the imagination, I have more than enough evidence to indicate that "centralizing the means of production&q

It's a moronic ideology, the clear answer here is you end up with a system similar to china, except stripe is owned by the govt, the computers you buy all come from the same govt org and the govt monitors and controls all forms of inte

Have any real companies actually paid any money for the "value" this tool provides?

Great, if this works we can capitalize on all that Chinese coal energy!

Why wait for AI powered mini killer drones when you could conjure up a relatively large group of religious extremists, a bag of knives from a kitchen supply store and a vague description of Western White Infidel TM?

The elite have already accomplished this. They've convinced you guns in the hands of civilians are a menace and danger to society and that the police you thought were there to protect you are really hunting you. You are a victim, you

I hate companies pushing narratives like this - but if I had a startup and really needed cash I could see why some people would leverage their list of contacts for some cash from a desperate political campaign. Ethically I would never do t

I'd recommend getting out of CA while you can. The schools aren't that great, housing prices are through the roof and if you have to commute more than an hour to work you likely just can't afford to live there. I've had

I have not, only since the latest "health supplements" scam of our time is exactly these kinds of "healthy mushroom boosters". Claiming all kinds of insane health benefits from "mushroom extract" etc. But wra

Maybe 2ml of "blue juice" in a cup of tea. It's hard to know what the actual active concentration of my extraction is though :(

Be gentle, but consistent and always outline how routine makes his/her life better. For instance, lay out your desk a certain way and you'll finish your work earlier and have more time to spend gaming. Acknowledging productive t

Even between Austin and NYC I've noticed these differences. I'd still take the latent bible thumping in Austin over the insane political cliques of NYC though.

Well yeah, you can pay people pennies on the dollar here while they're convinced it's "cool" to live in bum-f*ck middle america. If you're lucky they might even buy a house, adding another barrier to leaving and mo

Without a single doubt, a net positive. Important context to add is that I also had my tonsils removed at 23 when my PCP let me know that if I didn't have them removed I might suffocate in my sleep. Years of what was likely tonsiliti

For me it's all about routine, sleep and unfortunately accepting that stimulants make my life orders of magnitude more productive and enjoyable. However, my ADHD is also what gives me the ability to think in very creative and obtuse w

In short "push" means to use violence to force the will of otherwise non-compliant "dissenting" citizens. It's disgusting and a stunning violation of human rights.

Used to work at a startup a few tables over from these guys at the Harvard I-Lab a few years ago in college. Such an incredibly sharp and kind group of people who also hilariously would have casual conversations about "finding critica

Agreed, even as someone who's supporting Biden this article strikes me as a poorly obfuscated Trump hit piece. It really blows me away how defining what "beating a virus" is ended up being so brazenly politicized (by either
