I'm seeing this migrate to leaked documents, pirated material, and tracking who shares material of interest very soon.

How is this realistic to implement though? Unless it is done in the motor itself, I have to believe someone will have a hack for it very soon.

It promises to suck every shred of energy from you in exchange for a poverty wage, and you get treated like utter shit by society if you don't go along with it. I think there are some parallels here actually.

I know this sounds bad, but the addiction aspect can be mitigated by living life and being in positions where you need to quit smoking numerous times for whatever reasons. You learn how to master the desire. With that said, I also agree wit

US society is designed so that a significant percentage of people will live in cages, far more than any other society on Earth currently. I guess this helps make that happen? I personally don't think this is right or beneficial, but it

You need the diagonal because you are making a new number in (0,1) that can't be in the list by just choosing the nth digit of said number different than the nth digit of the diagonal.

I mean, given the cash-only nature of the business, I'd be very surprised if most arcades weren't laundering money these days too.

My favorite bad design is the bathroom light switch in northern Europe. Most are located in the hall outside the bathroom, because why should the person in the bathroom control the light in the bathroom, right? I've asked a lot of Scan

Rather than religion, I would expect the real driver in this is just a shift in culture between the generations, with religion being one of the fault-lines. If one looks at the boomers or gen X, for all the countercultural ideals they may h

As someone who is closer to the 76-96 timeframe, could you give some insights into how you feel this has changed? I actually would like to know how the younger generation of nerds is faring these days, but I don't know any to ask.

I've heard a lot of similar stories about NYC (less for NYS) and I am always wondering what the end game is for these guys. Do you feel like someone was trying to get you to bribe them or something? Absent that, I have a hard time unde

Have you noticed that the stock market keeps going up? The upper middle class is feasting quite nicely, I doubt many remember where Afghanistan is. They certainly don't have any skin in that game, that is for certain.

This is only because crypto is still a curiosity. Once a coin gains enough mass adoption to actually function as digital cash by normal people, it will leave Bitcoin in the dust. My bet is on Monero for that, but whether I am right or not,

This is a democratic model you are assuming, I don't think CCP needs the Chinese people to "support" anything they do, it really just boils down to whether the CCP leaders support it.

Loeb has been outright attacked in the popular press for advancing his idea, so I think he's just doubling down and fighting back. The truth is that the side that will "win" this debate is the loudest one and Loeb seems to ac

This exactly. In the US it is common for police to steal from citizens if they feel they can get away with it, I know many people who have had it happen to them personally, both with cash and possessions.

I'm with you, this has a borderline culture-war vibe to it, especially how some people are very into it and bring it up a lot. I don't see how an accident or natural origin changes anything.
