How is Stanford not a for-profit institution? I'm not trying to be argumentative, I think I must just be missing some distinction.

Seriously? At Stanford? Every professor other than Daphne (I believe) at the AI lab has worked for Google at some point and Stanford is the last place where CS profs look down upon starting companies.

I agree with what you're saying, but since the nature of your objection is semantic...it depends on what one means by evil. I'd say killing me to make paperclips from my atoms is evil.

I don't think they really claim that. I think that they'd rather say "a singularity is plausible and its effect would likely be of very high magnitude, so even marginally positively increasing the kind of singularity that might come about

I suppose that that is a...plausible irrationality. I wasn't attempting to account for such things. But sure, it's good to mention it explicitly.

I'd suggest being more specific than "US". Either name a part of the country, or, better yet, just name an income.

Am I the only one who doesn't have a problem with this? Sure, it doesn't benefit me as the consumer, but I don't actually see why this is something the government has a right to interfere with.

That's because PyPy is JIT-based - it compiles the code just before running it, unless it has already been compiled (which is the case on all but the first run).
