Some cities can offer perks like an educated workforce, educational institutions of renown, nice weather, etc. to compensate for a heavier tax burden but everyone and every company has a breaking point after which they decide to pull up sta

People did move out of NYC and companies did move HQs out to NJ and elsewhere. NYC lost pop during the eighties and didn’t recover its population till 2000. It was an 10% decline in pop[1]. They went from 125 F500 cos based in NYC down t

I worry it may end up like the ‘70s when poor policy started to device large companies to seek greener pastures for their HQ and operations elsewhere. Sometimes politicians think they have them by their noses and can turn up reaction to fix

Unfortunately language tends to get diluted. Nowadays in pop culture it means publishing anyone's personal information, usually against their wishes.

Not disagreeing with your preface but I was under the impression that while it took governments some time to figure things out, kinetic bombing in retaliation for cyberwarfare was pretty much ruled out unless the cyberwarfare results in dir

It’s the public/private dichotomy you see everywhere. Publicly pols say one thing or stand for one thing and privately they hold different views.

Isn’t introspection a necessary ingredient to form morals?

Sure. But… why not push these foods on a population that is currently used to eating some bugs rather than one that only accidentally or unknowingly ingest them? Like there are areas of the world where insects are a thing. And the US isn

What I don’t understand is why not push bug based foods on people who already eat bugs? Why push it on a population that hasn’t traditionally had overtly bug based diets? Populations that are used to some bugs would definitely be more recep

It doesn’t seems to be far off from Jane Fonda’s China Syndrome’s impact on the American nuclear energy industry. It’s not an exaggeration to say our nuclear energy industries were retarded by her campaign about fifty years or so. Without h

The press was stupid. They were doing stupid gotchas like swiftboats, fake reports on GWB (Dan Rather), but couldn’t care less about things like the CIA and the crack cocaine connection[1], or lots of other things the government gets away

Doping is a problem which offers offenders unfair advantages -the IOC combats that and looks like they are looking at other unfair advantages as well. It's a cat-and-mouse game. As of yet there is no perfect doping detector (it can h

One solution is to have more categories. Then people can compete in their relevant categories.

I guess this means if you know your attacker as IDd by your MDR, you don't have to feel helpless in not being able to fight back against the likes of Cozybear, Romcom, Lazarus, etc., if you're up to it. Now, I don't think ma

TED is a venue for middlebrow ideas by middlebrows for other middlebrows. Same with symposia and fora with “distinguished guests” like the Dalai Lama, or Kissinger or one of the Clintons or many other officials. They do a circuit, often hav

This has been going on in full force since the GWB admin in response and using the excuse of the terroristic attacks. They called it total information awareness. They pretended to bury it. All they did was hide their intentions from the p

Also there’s a bit of a tragedy of the commons. If one entity is scrupulous that doesn’t mean another will. Obviously if they had any morals they’d see the bright line.

I don’t think it will happen for at least a couple of reasons. The “deep state” in the US and elsewhere will not allow it and would find workarounds ala five eyes. And two, the right wants to spy on the left and the left wants to spy on t

Ti me it seems that the opinion is the result of anthropomorphizing bees. They exist in a different social order. Their survival depends on things that, if people were organized in such way, it would seem very wrong to people. Their survi

I’m down for that. There are so many “facilitators” in middle management, some really good and quite a few bad ones and many making no difference. I don’t know how people thought they were good positions to hire for. Remember before Covid

Good old JIT stock management for essential materials, right? One’d think that they’d keep more than a couple of weeks’s supply of critical materials —too bad many copied Cook’s and others’s JIT inventory management for everything.

It feels to me Europe and the UK, in the western world, are further ahead on the legal road to surveillance than the US.

What’s the difference from thinking your brain is a slave to your body or vice versa? We only think slavery is bad because have a philosophy and language to describe and evaluate the situation. It’s unlikely Ant colonies understand the con

I’m not sure if that has precedent. It’s unusual to grant a pardon before a case is brought to court. In any event, my point was all presidents who grant pardons grant them to people convicted of a crime; it’s not a recent development. Bu
