It's hard to take a book seriously when it leverages clickbait inspired titling to entice readers --I wish authors of serious topics would avoid this. It may have valid points, but when you are serious, you really should avoid the tem

Probably because wearing eye glasses signals a handicap whereas this instead could signal being part of an in-group. Kind of like torn jeans. Before the mid sixties torn clothing would signify economic disadvantage and you’d avoid it if pos

It’s also optimistic to think the gov will do what’s good for the people as exemplified by Chernobyl. There is no “good” answer. Each has its pros and cons.

I agree on the need for depolarization (go back to timelines and get rid of recommendation engines) but once you cede control of content to government even if it's for things people would agree on like "nuke that misinformation&qu

During the same period the US also added 18MM acres and so has Canada, but additionally Russia, India and Europe have also net added forest… so the “baddies” are still Brazil, Indonesia and the democratic Republic of the Congo.

Guess it depends on whether subsistence living is more resource intensive than urban living where on average urbanites own more possessions per capita.

If India can have voters vote and tally all the votes in one day, then so can everyone else. It’s the best way to avoid fraud and people going with whoever is ahead. I am sympathetic with emergency protocols for deadly pandemics, but for

People need to work to reverse the Bush and Obama initiated and then continued practice (setting precedent) of bypassing direct surveillance by buying data from data brokers. The Biden and Trump admins just continue this practice. That’s w

Those systems depend on enforcement. If a private system keeps score and gate keeps you usually have alternatives (utilities excluded), if it’s the gov and they decide to enforce it, then things get dire…

It’s equivalent to “restructuring” which doesn’t directly mean reduction in force but it does mean that I directly.

I think people defend anti discrimination or are against it depending on how the anti discrimination policy discriminates discrimination. We always discriminate. We have to. But only some discrimination is allowed and some are not allowed

It's possible if his movement is successful in AG that it may change the direction of politics in the southern cone from one cozying up to ne'er-do-well socialism to pro-market economies that uplift whole economies. It's als

Also Sean. I think the Irish prefer Sinead or Siobhan instead for naming girls.

Αngel is a funny one. For Anglo Americans I’ve only known girls by that name, but with Mexicans (born in Mexico) I’ve only known guys by that name as they have Angela for their girls.

Does it just go by SSID or is it looking at the public IP address? If it’s just SSID I can just add an SSID of the same name.

Looks like actual prices are trending back to the index. There was a big spike induced by the culling of millions of birds a couple of years back.

With GDP and taxation, the restaurant gets taxed. People making their food at home or raking their yard instead of a landscaper don’t get taxed for that work. If they did that’d get thrown into GDP. I’m happy they haven’t thought of taxin

Are people going to pedal on these things? Mopeds could also be pedalled if stalled -unlike scooters. I mean, sure, I know their form factor is that of a bike --but its locomotion is more similar to that of a e-moped. Unfortunately with

...so paying taxes is just there to control people and expropriate their money? Please let Newsom in on this discovery. He says he's for the common man and woman. He's gotta do something. But sure, Weimar had more money than god

Maybe they figure you pedal to charge it up before it’d go again -like a windup torch. It’s energy wasteful but who knows what marketing forced the engineers to do.

Mopeds but with crappier seats. Mopeds at least had decently comfortable seats and could seat a passenger —if we’re considering normal BMI folks.

Without advertising I'm good with a good old toaster -I don't/won't need a new one. With advertising I might have to get that new toaster that would match the new color palette of the kitchen I had to change due to &quo

If Covid conditions had gone on longer, decades, then output would have gone down, the treasury from which subsidies and government checks came from would have dried up. Even bullshit jobs add to GDP. Even socialist and communists had bul

Bias is different things though. If most people are cautious but the LLM is carefree, then that is a bias. Or if it recommends planting sorghum over wheat that is a different bias. In addition bias is not intrinsically bad. It might have

Sure. But that's due to low unit build + immigration creating demand combined with builders mainly building 2500 sq ft houses. Back in the 70s it would have been 1,500 sq ft. But also people want amenities like central air, game room

People can build houses with the same characteristics of the 1970s and would likely be able to afford them. But people want modern sizes with all the appliances and nice kitchens, two car garages and whatnot.

Yes, people have ideas of what they would do, read and listen to in ideal form. That's what they tell themselves they would want. Reality or practice tells us what they idealize isn't realized by those people. They actually see

Yes, it's filtered, but to a substantial degree it's because that's what the audience wants. If they make money on ads and that revenue depends on eyeball time, then they will want to maximize eyeball time. An exception wou

Of course the preferred option is what the Chinese do which is to never let that happen in the first place or if you do allow foreign investment always keep a 50.1% stake in the entity and exfiltrate any tech from the venture you need .
