Don't worry, if we do get off this rock we'll just bring our problems with us. If we ruined one perfectly good planet odds are whatever state the next one is in it won't last long.

Wait till you hear about how the US government is already planning for the commercialization of space.

This thread was about any political propaganda on Facebook, but if you want to narrow down the discussion... Some of us are old enough to remember when the US Intelligence community lied through NYTimes and NPR to drag us into the Iraq war.

Do you also think the US army should stop running recruitment ads targeting teens? What about BP advertisements which are really just to get political support? What is political propaganda is a very… political question.

Where is the actual source for this book? It's 500 years old and we have the internet, it should be the easiest thing to find a PDF of this. For some reason there isn't a link for the book and some of the sources you have to sign

I used to be so pro-science, but the more you follow it the more you see the stumbles (Folic acid causes cancer, but doesn't stop it) and just how much studies are funded by big corporations and can be easily killed if results start tu

I think it's an even better personal success than Wordle, or at least different. It was a man's labor of love for years, which tied together all his interests: music, art, programming, games. And better yet he built a career out o

Imagine paying extra for your delivery robot to have a buzz saw or be wedge shaped to tackle other robots. On a college campus that would make a killing!

Income is increasing faster than inflation, so it is helping poor people more than it hurts and easing their debts. Also, I am not considering upper middle class wealthy. Wealthy is upper 1% who control most of our wealth.

Inflation is a good thing for people with a lot of debt but not a lot of money. Think of the millions of student debt borrowers. Even if student debt isn't cancelled, it may get effectively cancelled one way or another. Which just goes

It wasn't always the case. Time and time again the US government in particular chose the economy over people's lives. Or even people's live over having to do something. Counties like S. Korea, had bold actions like contact tr

You are introducing a ridiculous binary. There are innumerable ways to test this software, even on public roads, without unleashing it on the thousands of Tesla owners. It's not like Tesla has to release new features every year, they

Maybe a lot of user issues regarding lag wasn't GB of memory which everyone made it out to be but really slow OS and Intel chips getting progressively slower all those security patches...

I also heard most of our concepts of property law were built of the Romans, in particular slave owning Romans who viewed people as property. Puts a pretty dark light on our whole system if you ask me, started form a bad seed.

So by that logic execs certainly didn't need an increase in salary?

by marricks 5y ago
Yeah but if you clearly make that much in profit you gotta pay taxes. Obviously they’re too smart for that.

Yep, that you didn’t need to live in a state of hoping you’d be “made for life”

Where everyone can make such delightful inventions and not feel compelled by large actors to sell them. People like creating, inventing, playing, when they are secure and happy. Most people don’t live in that state though.

Intel normally releases lowest end chips first (maybe because it's easier to get volume of them because of binning) but this year flipped that so we all talk about the highest benchmark chips first. Yes, that means chips meant to be pa

Clearly Intel has huge issues or they wouldn’t be making such a drastic turn. For some people whatever happens to intel the picture is always extremely rosey.

Go figure the top comments on this thread echo how companies talk about unions. “Oh unions can be good but those Americans don’t know their downsides…” Or “Unions are great but it’s awful people can be forced to join them!” I’m just saying

It’s a new technology which no one else is testing in the real world with actual drivers at such a scale. Onus is on Tesla to provide data for others to verify the claim that it’s safe.
