I mean where are all the factories making batteries in Europe? It’s not like the US is purposefully preventing battery tech. It’s why all of the government-funded solar companies imploded as well. The manufacturers do not compete

Very effective multiple choice tests can be given, that require work to be done before selecting an answer, so it can be machine graded. Not ideal in every case but a very quality test can be made multiple choice for hard science subjects

I am very much interested in electric cars that look like normal cars. I understand the battery changes things. But why they have to shit up the design of 75% of electric cars is nonsensical to me

You can also just... not place bets on completely bizarre prediction markets like "how many times this person says this word". The market can sort it out, etc.

I posit it’s actually far more efficient to just let the market do its magic. No need for absurd Chinese state intrusions

It’s just really, really hard to get someone to pay you money. This AI boom has made earning money optional for some companies, but for the long tail of AI-adjacent companies you need revenue. Convincing someone to pay you is just simply so

We are talking about a sophisticated international trading system that happened 600 years ago. Clearly you don’t need anything like that to make it happen. Let alone Ancient Rome, Greece, Assyria, Sumer…

Also this stuff never happens by design. Some entrepreneur notices things and the costs, make a decision, suddenly more products exist, organic trading routes appear. There is no need for computers or grand design or hyper-managerial govern

The problem is not the opioids themselves as a chemical. They are tolerated well and have minimal side effects. The main issue is that street opioids are of uncertain purity, and cut with toxic chemicals. This causes overdoses when a batch

Imagine you are sitting in a room. Your child is in front of you. A scary man sits next to them. The man says: “Your child is a drug addict. They are addicted to opioids. I am the devil, without any care in the world other than making money

It’s just hard to engage when the comment doesn’t respond to the philosophical bedrock point: Stealing! Is! Wrong! This is a bedrock foundational principle of Western civilization. I don’t take any quarter to any other opinion. This is the

You can live with a sustained opioid addiction permanently without major issues. That’s the entire basis of methadone clinics - controlled dispersement of opioids at a level that solves cravings and allows the addict to be functional. It is

Monero is money. It is a tool for freedom. I don’t like fraud. As a libertarian I am fine with private businesses doing whatever they need to in order to prevent their property being stolen. Free citizens don’t have to shop there. It’s espe

My response is simple and straight forwards, I don’t tie myself into logical knots to turn what is simple and correct into a complicated inverse of reality

Arresting criminals and throwing them in jail, like we did until about 10 years ago, would be a fantastic start! Really not a quantum leap in policy change

Progressive prosecutors don’t care. Judges let repeat offenders out with a wrist slap. Demoralizes police - what’s the point of all the effort if they are back out on the street tomorrow?

Make the rest of us pay 7% more so thieves can loot businesses and avoid getting a real job? How about no

See that’s exactly the type of thing I want to avoid. I would like to get back to a normal world where stealing is wrong and police arrest thieves

I would prefer they require face scanning vs. locking everything up. The police in my city don’t arrest people for shoplifting, or a range of petty crimes for that matter. If you don’t like face scanning no one makes you shop there. When cr
