Veritasium is very political? Can you link a video where politics comes in at all, let alone something that's very political? https://www.youtube.com/c/veritasium/videos Maybe the driverless car one can be

That looks pretty cool. Some kind of combination between SigmaOS and Bonsai would seem especially interesting and useful. (Side note: "SigmaOS" initially made me think it'd be an operating system. And "Bonsai Browser&quo

Something close to UDP APIs for browsers (QuicTransport + datagram extension) was in development for a while but the proposal ended up getting rejected/withdrawn.

It was pretty nightmarish, but I'm still very thankful I received it. 40 minutes of awfulness in exchange for years of not needing glasses/contact lenses was worth it for me. Also, I'm guessing this issue isn't too uncom

I'm surprised that that group apparently also includes me. I had an awful experience during my LASIK procedure. What should've taken a few minutes ended up taking like 40+. It was almost an hour of the doctor and nurses constantly

Yeah. As the kids say, it's "peak cringe".

In case anyone else initially misinterpreted it like I did: it replaces the thumbnail with a random frame from the video.

It's probably a mix of both. I think it'd probably either be too cynical or too naive to think it's entirely one or the other. (I realize my post is a wishy-washy nothing-statement that could mean anything, so to make it a li

Yes, the point is that most people don't want such a world. With very few exceptions, even hardcore libertarians don't want that world. That's why they're arguing that some sort of court system isn't necessarily inc

I'm not a Randian or whatever, but it doesn't seem that inconceivable to imagine a hypothetical government which provides security/military/justice services without enforcing a monetary policy. I can think of many potent

During the Wild West, if someone stole your cattle but you didn't know who, you very well might have hired a private investigator to try to find the cattle and who stole them, followed by a request/demand to return the cattle. If

I've seen so many different grand theories proposed in this thread, but to me this seems like it was the most obvious one from the start. My guess: yes, it was intended to achieve an effect; no, it wasn't built on false pretenses

Tim Dillon episodes are my favorites, but IMO he hasn't totally run out of good guests since the Spotify move. The Dave Chappelle and Quentin Tarantino ones were pretty interesting to watch.

True, very good point. My confidence in the claims have definitely decreased. However, I do think there is a slight distinction between these things. One is a controversial claim of fact that you basically have to take their word for (&quot

I think you and some others probably are misunderstanding. It's the idea that sometimes when you think, you "think with words". It's the presence or employment of words or language anywhere in your thinking. Not "he

I agree there's no verifiable evidence of the existence of such a deployed weapon or any other method of causing harm. The fact that cases keep being reported outside of Cuba is interesting, though. Crickets can't explain the nois

Very true. It's the combination of that plus the seeming consistency in some of the medical findings that I find pretty compelling. If it were merely reports of phenomena without any kind of medical abnormalities discovered, I'd d

It certainly is, yes. I'm basing this in part on the claims in the GQ article. My point was that I view any kind of conspiracy allegation with a huge grain of salt, so when I think there actually likely is one, I feel outspoken about i

This was the leading hypothesis for years, including for me, but even about a year ago I was considering betting a lot of money on a prediction market that it's indeed an intentional deployment of a weapon. I've found myself argui
