We need the technology to less gradually improve our solution after going carbon zero, but going carbon zero takes the highest priority. So carbon capture should still be funded, but it would be on the backburner. I don't know what is

Larger entities have lawyers and can afford more of them. It doesn't protect the little guys so much as allow larger entities monopoly power. Patents are by themselves not a business model. They merely buy a seat at the negotiation tab

We have to find the right balance. If a large number of patents sound like a sad joke to most professionals in a field, then something has gone very wrong. That presume that we have the ability to finetune patent laws as needed and also p

Patents are only useful if they are actually enforced, through lawsuits and lawyers. The amount of time and money spent on patent lawsuits as opposed to innovation is a form of deadweight cost and must be factored in any argument for or aga

It is a good idea to read the citation, at least in part. I am quoting from conclusion as that's the only part I am interested and read. Today, I would argue that given the limitations of the existing literature we still have essentia

This is just an anecdote but I have seen talks where the Chinese look at the silicon valley grind culture of long working hours and sacrifice and think how can these people be so lazy? Working long hours isn't necessarily efficient.

If it works to make homes more available, then it works, but yes the solution requires actual construction.

By any objective measure, there's more books and more video games than you can ever play within your limited lifespan. That is what I meant by there's always something to do but yet nothing. I partially solved that by actually jus

Nah. I define the hikikomori by necessarily the state of despair. That obviously came through the participation in society. For the record, a hikikomori makes a video game? Wow. I wish I can do that. It's a matter of effort, of putting

My response to that would be to ask why such things would be appealing in the first place. Why should one that finds no reward in dealing with other people at all, aspire to being promoted or falling in love? Both of which inherently requi

If you are a participant in society, then you aren't a shut in. Nothing of significance happen. No promotion, no falling in love, no completion of a project, no failure but also no success either. That is a shut-in. To be a shut-in i

Maybe or maybe not in term of net tax revenue, but it's certainly an investment with an expectation of the preferred outcome of national security, with some portion of the subsidy maybe being returned as taxes of various kinds.

Actually, roads and parking garage and driveways take up spaces that could be used for parks and greenery. You could have tramways with grassy cover, for example. Every time when I drive to anywhere, I am surrounded by five lane stroads. By

Only allow cargo delivery via rail as well. This way this deincentivize road traffic as much as possible.

Space, unsurprisingly, are at a premium within cities and even suburban area. You can only widen the roads so many time that you may start to demolish homes. Rural areas are where it makes the most senses to have cars.

Single family zoning is inherently restrictive since you're forced to live a certain expensive lifestyle. Not being able to ride bikes safely is inherently restrictive. Being forced to spend money on car instead of being able to afford

Choosing roads and highways are a form of central planning. Single Family Homes zoning and lack of mixed use zoning are a form of central planning. The government is intimately involved with regulating and encouraging car centric transporta

Improving car technology is good, but it cannot solve the fundamental problem of geometry. Cars just need a lot of space to store and drive. There are mode of transportation that are lower impact on the environment such as the humble bicycl

You can blame Mr. Putin for starting a full scale war in Europe the like it has never seen since the second world war. Profit or not, the price of security is assuredly all the other things we could be doing or focusing our attention on suc

If you want stress free comfortable commuting, you're going to need to build an efficient way to move people. Cars are not really an option when it comes to moving people en mass. It's just too low capacity. Rome's metro syst

No, it's because they are lazy, not because of political beliefs. The product is just a cash grab. Put it this way: the mindset of a company like google in their approach to moderation is to automate as much of it as possible. They hat

The problem with cars is the geometry. It's just very inefficient for the amount of people you are trying to move. For example, many cars are able to seat four or more passengers. What frequently happens is that only one person is driv
