If there's serious problems, then Congress can act. The structure just makes it harder for Republicans to kill it quietly for an unsupportable reason.

It would be a years-long occupation with no clear end goal. It would kill at _least_ hundreds of thousands and negatively affect the lives of an order of magnitude more. It would almost certainly fail by any reasonable metric. Look at how o

Truly the Diamond Age (by Neal Stephenson) is upon us. Or at least the pre-pre-pre-alpha version designed by amoral corporatists.

Apologies for the assumption. I've used several Google products for years, including paid ones, and never so much as seen a way to contact a person.

Very cool. How many figures is your company paying them?

It's within their technical and hardware wheelhouse, no question. The problem comes when you consider them as a company, how they act and how they do products/projects. When your primary competency as a business is rewriting, rena

It was doomed as soon as it had Google in the name. Who did not see that coming? Sticking with something like Stadia is just not in their wheelhouse.

I wonder if anything can be done to sense what they used to look like, maybe by scanning for places where residue of clay fell off or was covered over like they mentioned.

Ambient levels outside are 420ppm or so. If you're around 500, you're doing very well and I doubt there's much point in trying to do better.

I would suggest that every company over a certain size gets a certain number of death threats. If, hypothetically, a company just managed to piss off, I don't know...everyone, one strategy to garner some cheap sympathy and have an excu

Is a system where you only process orders every X minutes actually more complex? The current system is _full_ of stupid shenanigans specifically due to a lack of a timebox.

That's true, but it seems unlikely that that's a particularly important part of intelligence. The vast majority of people do _not_ do that type of memorization, are they still intelligent?

Not anywhere in the US as far as I know, but even the requirement of showing ID is ridiculous. What has it accomplished? And how many people got tricked into buying the useless stuff that's 10x easier to purchase?

True, but I have yet to hear any good reason to have a stuffed nose so bad you can't even function or sleep well. Pretty sure that's just the illness helping itself spread. I don't take meds for fevers, but first thing I do w

I would strongly suspect it's not going to hurt anything. If your dishwasher is leaving residue of cleaners, that's another story, that needs to be fixed whatever you're using.

Maybe the number of possible matchings for a given length (or range of lengths) might be interesting?

It's fairly hard to find a cleaning product that's not okay for dishes. Glass is very unreactive and quite hard. Dishwasher maybe less so, but they're usually pretty sturdy too.

Basically, yes. But at scale, most ecosystems of plants reach an equilibrium where old plants die and rot, releasing as much CO2 as the growing ones are taking in.

As much as I enjoy Go and personally consider it a better game, it's not what's holding chess back in Japan. Go isn't _that_ popular there.

Is beer and wine really worth it though? For me not really. There's vices I enjoy enough to just not worry about it, but alcohol? I can do without and not be any less happy.

For me it's night and day. I absolutely refuse to rely on something like chatgpt that can be changed or removed at someone else's whim.
