The libertarians I know are all authoritarian with regards to their own property, including their shares of stock. They object to centralized control, not to control. They see authoritarian control of their own company as an example of a de

It's a map of dependence and poverty. The most affected of my local counties are the ones with the highest indigenous populations. Those are also the bluest voting rural counties. Food credits are a lousy substitute for vast herds of b

I doubt SpaceX could put a satellite in orbit with KSP physics. Just the absence of realistic thermal conduction would prevent it. The outer skin temperature typically peaks around 300–600 °C during the densest part of the atmosphere. If yo

Quantum mechanics stinks to high heaven. If it didn't keep making true predictions we could be rid of the pesky thing.

I wish it was a huge scandal that the Democrats failed to act to restrain executive authority between Trump administrations. His excesses demand legislative responses to claw back their powers. For one thing, Trump's Executive Order 14

I'm terrified by the possibility of a stroke that would disable me, not in a way that would let me write here about my experience with it, but leaving me dependent on the care of others. I'd prefer to shuffle off of this mortal co

A random assemblage of parts running Ubuntu, upon which most things that weren't Windows games ran fairly reliably for a decade plus. As far as I can tell nothing challenges a computer like games, except games from an alien OS.

Robert W. Malone sounds like an accomplished scientist in Grokipedia and a fraud in Wikipedia. For the ground truth I might start by reading both and asking an LLM for the diff. Interesting that Grok in Fast mode says that the Wikipedia ver
