Politics is about making your opponents look like oppressor and your constituents looked like the oppressed. Both sides do this, and I'm not just talking about Republican vs Democrats it has been going on forever.

I recently started doing part time contracting dev work for a couple companies. The best part is that management doesn't invite me to these bullshit meetings because they know I will be billing them for no value being delivered.

Sorry, my mistake I meant to say would instead of should. I don't think that the janitor at GM "should" have lost his job. It would have been nice if everyone lying about the real quality of the MBS products lost all the mone

I recently read a book that was basically a diary of a businessman from the great depression with some commentary. It seems like there were two big problems that we have done a good job avoiding since then. #1. Way too many people were rich

I think crypto has played a role in educating more people to how bad it is to hold USD, low interest rates, printed money combined with that are a recipe for people to get into bidding wars and fomo. Ironically this is bad for Bitcoin becau

True, the first order effects can be worse in some ways. Horses can easily go off road and step over obstructions and cars cannot. The big deal is the second order effects. Cars can driver 50 MPH so we build highways and now we can have sub

If you are saying that people will still be driving cars in 10 years, then yes you are right. I wouldn't be surprised if 100 years from now there were still roads where it was legal for humans to drive cars. But we should expect that t

Same thing as "code is law". If a restaurant puts their ordering process on a smart contract and someone orders -1 packets of hot sauce and that rolls over to 2 billion packets that means the restaurant has to provide 2 billion pa

At least with a checking account you may be able to have the transfer reversed. The idea of buying game credits and trading them in game makes sense, but you would want the game publisher to have root on the ledger so that if there was a ha

I expect this to be the beginning of a recession. A lot of consumers spending is based on the thought that their home is going up in value.

Palantir is operating under the idea that "The AI will figure it out once we can access all the data" This is a mistake because: 1. A lot of the data at big orgs is garbage or only understandable within a certain context by specif

The problem with the people you are talking about is that they didn't cut back as soon as they started to have minor medical problems. Having 4 drinks a day for a couple years in your 30s doesn't cause permanent liver damage that

If you are not sure you can google "European border changes over the past 100 years" and also Google "Dates that countries became nuclear" As far as the USSR collapse having nothing to do with external powers, that is an

I would say it is more likely that consciously or unconsciously the woman started missing pills the month before. The couple was already considering it so it wasn't a big deal if she missed some pills. My wife and I were very fertile,

If you google "100 year history of Europe" you will see that older people like Putin are very aware of how drastically borders and governments have changed, even including countries that have nuclear weapons. To say that no one is

It isn't that an attack was likely, it is the fact that an attack could overtake Moscow much easier if one did happen. It is like people who keep assault rifles in their home in extremely safe neighborhoods. From Moscow's perspect

NPM packages are by far the worst offender of this. Some packages are great, but others drop maintnentece completely after a year of support. Then you have to move off of them because they are tied to old versions of react or other core pac

Similarly we still have accountants even though Excel and TurboTax can do all the calculations. I can't help but think this effects the demand for models more than actors. Why spend money on hiring a model who has spent enormous amount

It will never be 100% correct. But that has never been the goal. The goal is to be 10x safer than humans. I don't know exactly when it hits that level, but at this point there doesn't appear to be any reason it cannot get there ev

We have not seen what the Germany Army is capable of since 80 years ago. Does Putin really want to find out what has changed since then?

Russia has claimed that the mission is to liberate Ukraine from Nazis, which is why you see videos of unarmed civilians not being immediately run over by trucks. If the mission changes to kill as many civilians as possible, the army is goin

Right, if France takes an oligarch's house and boat in Nice, why not take a French billionaire's assets in Russia and give them to that Oligarch? Stock in a gas company may not make up for the loss of a house and yacht but it is s

If you are in a group and a sniper hits someone that isn't an instant kill, what do you do? Take cover and let them die, or run in the line of fire and try to help or try to find the sniper?
