I don't think making an example out of those executives are going to do anything in particular. Stripping them out of their position and banning them from holding executive positions will. Forcing Boeing to reorganize their structural

I do improvisational comedy. The improv community is very small despite being in a major metropolitan area.

Making people work is an assumption that work in itself is valuable, or at worse, mostly valuable. This isn't necessarily the case for jobs, and some jobs are probably actually detrimental to the well being of our society.

We can't afford to make a car for every single person. It's catastrophic to our urban fabric.

I think you fail to grasp just how big the US is. Driving from Chicago to Minneapolis is ~430 miles/ 6.5 hours depending on weather and traffic. Every 10 miles or so there is an exit and usually some small town. Every 50 to 100 miles

Idealistic? So what? I am just pointing out the contradiction of people's thought. I perfectly know well it's not how things should work but how it works right now, but if people believed silly things I am going to point it out. Y

I wouldn't necessarily make the assumption that welfare support "costs" the economy as a whole. It's really expensive to support homeless population since they use up critical important resources such as emergency care,

Well paying job just mean that the primary distribution mechanism of wealth is through having a job, rather than only creating only jobs that are necessary. That's grossly inefficient. I rather pay people to stay at home rather than gu

Quality of life also doesn't cost money. Road infrastructure in the United States might as well be a form of digging holes and then refilling it back up again. Grossly inefficient when we could invest the infrastructure money into wo

A questionable assumption. A scientist like Einstein experienced scientific revolutions within his lifetime. That's hardly going to be the norm in the history of science, and also a horrible assumption to think revolutions would endle

If people weren't watching movies, they maybe would be watching people in theaters, which is a plus for me though unlikely. I am a performer whose work is done live anyway, but people have to take out time in the day to visit and play.

It's literally just interest rate disguised as prizes. A real bank is handling the money behind the scene and that's where the money is insured.

We all make stupid mistakes. Some of these mistakes included being scammed. We all heard of people who got fooled by the classic Nigerian prince scam and think "it can't possibly be me". It may indeed not be you but you might

I don't think venture capital are known to be discerning about what they invested in. They will dump money and follow industry trends just like everyone else. DEI initiatives are just excuses for doing a bad job. They would have done a

He's a rather an extreme example and probably not applicable to most situations we are involved in. Most things in life only required consistency and adherence to long term effort to achieve 'success'.

I don't see Musk doing that as he directly stated it himself. As for Tesla patents, I would speculate that it's more about companies not willing copy Tesla which is why Telsa doesn't really care if they open source the infor

It is not a given that we should incentivize the production of cultural good beyond of what is already achievable. I should note that there is already strong intrinsic motivation to create and there are already too many works to read, watch

How about both? You are welcome to critique my opinion. As for assumption 3, there's SpaceX. They don't open their design of their rockets to the public where their competitors, such as the Chinese can copy them. Neither the US go

Assumption 1: Commercialization and incentivization(beyond what is already achievable in our market system) of the production of media goods are a good thing and we would be poorer culturally-wise. Assumption 2: Without IP laws, people woul

2 billion dollars over 5 years? That's peanuts! If anything I would increase spending to a billion dollars a year. Would still dedicate most of the budget to accelerating the energy transition, which is trillion of dollars worth of stu

There's a lot of hype and now virtually every company is claiming to do AI something. Is it valuable, more than just a novelty, enough to pay for all the training and usage? Dunno.

The best source of information about the reliability of scientific information...are within the scientific community. If you engage outside the scientific community, you're most likely going to encounter cranks.

There's more to knowledge than just reproducible outcomes. For example, history is frustrating because you are going to end up in unique circumstances and you're not going to be able to see into the future, only the present. Yet,

Go take improv classes. It's a lot of fun and now you have a skill that let you perform in any major metropolitan area without needing a script or much preparation, other than warmups if that's what they do. But yeah, people shoul

Ignorance is really not a virtue. If you suspect that you're being lied to by the consensus, feel free to read alternatives by heterodox scholars. I suspected that they're crank. It's not like I particularly agree with the wa

The Chinese are good at cloning, with or without access to design files. You'll be a fool to not have a plan.

Prusaslicer and forks all benefit from the sharing of codes. Prusaslicer even copied code from Cura.

I am skeptical of Mr. Prusa's reasoning for not being open source. I am not doubting the sincerity of his belief, but I think he's wrong. The Chinese are very good at cloning. Releasing the design doesn't change this, as they

You lose muscle when you lose weight, especially if weight loss is rapid. This is why it's important to be physically active when you're losing weight. It doesn't matter if you're on drug or not.
