If you have resources and energy, anything is possible if you have a system to exploit them. The downside is of course draining the resources and destroying the ecology which also happened. There is nothing special in American blood vs anyw

Some of my favorite people to meet in college were foreign students. You get to meet diverse people and learn about the world. It's only a win if college is 20% cheaper this year. It's not.

This is no different then how the web works. So not a great argument against this protocol.

Yes it does, they have an official software called the bridge which allows you to connect a 3rd party email client.

Proton has an official bridge software which sets up a local imap/smtp server. I then can use a 3rd party email client. The reason they don't support it directly from their servers is it allows them to not have to decrypt emails i

I predict a re-resurgence in life performances. Live music and live theater. People are going to get tired of video content when everything is fake.

It's obvious there is no way OpenAI can keep videos generated by this within their ecosystem. Everything will be fake, nothing real. We are going to have to change the way we interact with video. While it's obviously possible to f

The reasons to use C++ over rust in this article are not good. The reason I would have picked is C++ does a better job matching mental models (partly because of it's flexibility) and it's easier to say what you mean. Value semanti

Every transaction has two parties. If I save, you lose income. If you save, I lose income. Well, if the government saves, the private citizens LOSE INCOME. Read about the Accounting Identity https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki&#x2

I can look at my budget and say, "Wow I spend a lot on coffee, better stop". Are these savings a good or bad thing? You have to remember every transaction has two parties. If I stop buying coffee, maybe it's better for me, bu

Blender is my favorite free software project. I started using it in the late 90s and watched it become a powerhouse. Ton Roosendaal was clearly a great leader. Onward and upward!

People who don't do statistics and don't understand how the BLS gets their data think there must be corruption when they correct previous reports. Think of it this way, if they correct their previous estimates with new data, isn&#

Show me any evidence your Republican party cares about educating Americans. Are they supporting better pay for teachers? Are they supporting more resources to schools? Are they pushing for tuition free college?

Go look into Trump's 2017 tax law and how it led to the mass tech layoffs. Maybe instead of blaming immigrants you will start realizing who actually created the layoffs. https://qz.com/tech-layoffs-tax-code-trump-sectio

You model about what the Fed does and how rates affect the economy is just wrong. The fed raising or lowering rates won't change what's happening with jobs. You have to explain why when the fed raised rates, the market shot up and

This model is very easy to steer. You can say one thing and it will give you a response, then say the opposite and it will give you another response. Not sure why this is useful for.

Yes but at this point the upper stage is barely a spaceship. Mostly an empty shell. And they have spent $10 billion so far on something that barely flies.

What would have happened to Tesla without the loan? You don't think the DOE loan department had no idea of their finances? A bailout by another name is called?
