The VN probe thing was mostly a mechanism to make the point for having a prohibition on a civilization becoming too grabby. Maybe the UFOs and such are the local galactic “police” looking for civilizations that would want to participate in

Life is a likely VN. Edit-not that life is anyone in particulars VN probe. But it’s clearly self replicating and can evolve to various conditions. Kind of the obvious example to prove the existence of VN probes as a logical concept.

The hypothesis of a prohibition on grabby aliens feels more plausible to me than most others. We’re relatively early on the scene. If one Von Neumann probe got out from a civilization it could mean no other species evolve again in the unive

The US has rare earth mines and even more deposits. They just got priced out through decades of lower prices for those minerals. (Which just shows that resource allocation even for scarce resources, follows financial incentives similar to o

Nope. Chips clearly have a national security component. Ensuring local supply reinforces national security. Which reinforces geopolitical commitments through making those commitments more credible. Edit-removed a comment

Should really be equal to my monthly income since the only person I’d be remotely comfortable with this amount of private compromise with would be a significant other. And there’s no reason to settle.

Obviously the originator of the data should have original rights to it. It shouldn’t be something that can be given away in a EULA without outright compensation and consideration.

Defining, enforcing, and reinforcing property rights absolutely is within a government's purpose. So I agree that governments need to step up and modernize the law within the digital world.

I wonder how emblematic your family is of people not wanting a hot mic around them. If that’s a widespread phenomenon I would honestly feel much better about the future.

The line I’ve heard (Stephen Kotkin) “dictatorships just have to be good at one thing: defeating all political alternatives.” Shuffling around the police isn’t allowing for a political alternative to the regime.

Stock buybacks were outlawed after the Great Depression and a widespread realization that buybacks are insider trading. The cynic in me says people have forsaken their local and national governments and this is the fruit of their inattentio

It’s not all about bioavailability. Fiber might not be digested by us but the microbes that do fill the role of an organ. Giving the body something to work on offers benefits like leveled out blood sugars. This pdcaas metric needs a high qu

“- Chicken has a PDCAAS of 0.95 - Soy has a PDCAAS of 0.92” That sounds pretty comparable from your chosen metric.

The fake stuff usually lists “textured vegetable protein” or “soy protein isolate” or things like that. Those are much more processed than tofu. Tofu is more like a curd in so far as the tofu gets minced then settled out of the water. I thi
