That's a minuscule use case whose benefits are arguably exaggerated next to the UX inconvenience and other downside factors for the common abuela looking to receive grocery money. Until crypto becomes at least as easy to get set up wit

Investing in a coin for the purpose of privacy is not a good investment. This is because the government has to criminalize every private currency and privatizing method with any significant use. If it hasn't been criminalized yet, it i

For your argument to fly, you'd have to poll parents to see if fogging a mirror is the desired barrier-to-entry for their kid's teachers.

The intellect(God-adjacent) / animal dichotomy within humans and their condition is a an old embedded quandry of theology.

That's not an ethics argument. As could be inferred by the fact that it is in favor of paying a lesser amount tangible property due to the arguable benefit of an intangible concept that no one owns. However, meaningfullness can't

You can have an international real estate market or widely affordable housing, but not both.

Institutional promotion of this "new style" of teaching reading is garbage cope and grift. Schools have been teaching reading successfully for decades to kids who are prepared to learn it, using a long-proven curriculum. Middle an

States are not "at war" with teachers. The dramatic language is unhelpful to your argument. The States in question implemented a literacy program of the type that is normally reserved for kids with minor disabilities whose parents

That's an inspirational narrative. However, offices aren't significantly vacant due to remote work. Advancing the narrative that this is the reason will in-part hide economic decline, and will help allow important people to escape

The sole benefit of DDG is their claim that they don't track. One problem with this narrow focus is that many people mistakenly carry this statement over to an assumption that DDG doesn't censor their search results. I suspect tha

Of course you do not mind. But that means that you have no room for complaint when they delete something that you consider to be "not garbage".

Controlled burns are a single example of the uncountable things that humans have always had to do to maintain what is good for everyone and animals, but which come to be targeted by loud people who see a path to personal gain by making them

I wouldn't call Trump's win an accident. He spoke passionately to the core political agenda of the GOP voter base: illegal immigration. Which the Neocons willfully ignored, or otherwise under-served, for decades. That's not s

One might think that Altman doesn't have a shot at this ham-fisted attempt at regulatory capture. The issue is that the political class will view his suggestion, assuming they didn't give it to him in the first place (likely), thr

AI and machine guns aren't comparable. Machine guns will never ever decide to autonomously fire. The shared point of both AI alarmists and advocates is that AI will be highly resistant to being subject to regulation, ultimately. As dic

Except that Thiel's axiom refers to founding a business on a strategy to sell something that is truly novel, instead of copying what is already on offer. Being first to market as the primary competitive advantage, other than possible i

Blatant attempts at regulatory capture should be an anti-competitive crime. At the very least, Altman should now be more scrutinized by the Feds going forward.

Your complaints are moral and subjective. They don't seem to fall under the category of "huge problem". All Churches endeavor to "hoards". Not one doesn't. For a variety of good reasons. That being said, your m

Tucker absolutely represents Mainstream public opinion, better than most other pundits for roughly half of the country. To believe otherwise is harmful self-delusion. With the caveat that no pundit is going to be on-beat all of the time.

We don't know what "advertisers want", because there is no objective advertiser milieu. It has been ruined by pressure campaigns from political groups that are propped up by an extremist media. The only significant drama orig

This could be any anonymous screed written by an eighteen year old in any era, and today it reads as if it were written by AI. It's a collection political confetti. Civilizations are cyclical. The pretend-status of the commoners is cyc

Cobbling together the words hardline, unacceptable, entrenched, religion, and middle-grounds is not an argument let alone persuasion. At best, it's an opinion strangely rooted in some type of anti-religious bias. The truth is that soci

You're the one without integrity. He was speaking in a hypothetical role as a government official, not as a journalist. In fact, he was making a very socialist / populist point that few on the Left would be able to disagree with.

Who and who is not a journalist can't be determined by any institution. According to democracy. If people find what they present to be journalism, then it is. Ironically, I just defended Rachel Maddow and many more people. It seems str
