I was there for 2 years. More or less confirmed. Austin had a lot of chances to steal the show, but there's a lot of cultural challenges there. As well a lot of the tech companies there are coddled in that they expect to pay way under

the fun part here is seeing interesting tradeoffs like a wealthy person of <Race-preferred> chosen over a poor person of <Race-tarnished> for some kind of wealth producing choice. Making a wealthy member of that group wealthier

That's a pretty solid letter given the 1953 date! Consider it predates MLK's and Rosa Park's most famous activism. Not bad.

I understand what you're saying... You're talking about total gains over a long period of time like a 10 year sedentary steroid use versus a 10 year natural lifter doing lots of the right things... I'm not sure if there'

I would add 3. There's an aesthetic change too. (Obviously a preference/eye of the beholder thing). ChatGPT: "This process, known as cell volumization, contributes to muscle size gains." So there's also that reason

> Steroids don't magically give you the gains, you still have to put the work in. That's not an entirely fair description of the situation actually. Imagine the 4 groups from the cross product of WorksOut?(Yes/No) cross St

It was a dark realization for me about some of the ways that America is corrupt despite branding/veneer of beautiful things like freedom, prosperity, christianity. IMO A just nation who wanted to live out those^^ values would limit the

I think what you're saying is coming for tech. It's just that we've been short 100s of thousands of engineers for so many decades. But both the training (education, hack schools etc) side is closing the gap, plus tooling is a

It's almost like humans universally will use systems of power to further their own aims, rather than altruistic ends. And those who do have an advantage in the accumulation of that power.

Or there's some game theory and empirically tested amount of potential for violence (even cyber kind) that one should reserve because of human's tendency to be shitty when they can.

the US often gets negative takes for doing what many other nations are also doing. For example in 2018 Tencent (basically, China) withdrew from hacking competitions like pwn2own taking along with them the disclosures that proceeded.

I'm sure Canon would like me to also pay every cent I have for every sip of water I take, and the ones I do not. Companies that focus on what they want, rather than what the customer wants, will cease to exist (or change hands).

There is no reason to annex Canada when it's economy can simply be bought and controlled. Eg: Nexen was bought by CNOOC with a whole bunch of promises and broke lots of them. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CNOOC_Pet
