From recent discussion though it seems as though the time dilation effects or that time itself moves differently in different patches of spacetime- that could remove the need altogether for dark energy/dark matter: https://w

There are endless debates about gross vs net and as with many things in the CoJCoLDS it is left up to the members to decide/define and to self-certify their compliance. Welfare programs are financed via a separate donation program via

With the police visiting grannies based on their Facebook posts, I’d say the UK should be right there next to the US.

So answer the question- why indeed did the US incumbents/Europe/Russia/China all fail to do what SpaceX did do?

The problem, of course, is that the way humanity is set up, only billionaires can do some important things. Regardless of your feelings about Elon, what would the strategic implications for the US vs Russia and China be minus SpaceX? SpaceX

Correlation is not causation. Until the war, FDRs 'reforms' weren't making the country powerful or rich, maybe staunching the bleeding. The buildup of industry for a war footing, the vacuum of the great powers/industries

No- but the main issue is that all reasonable ones I can conceive lead inevitably to the Singularity technologically, and pretty quickly since we seem determined to throw as much silicon as possible at the problem. Hopefully the final step

Except the lowest income classes don’t own property and pay no property taxes directly. Considering renters also pay less in Texas than Cali, it seems a pretty un-regressive regime.

most classical ADHD people I’ve met were slightly/very above average IQ types regardless of their symptoms, so my instinct would be told be that the effect may be even more pronounced- they’d probably have to do some controlling via so

Yep- if Pee-wee Herman’s character were instead named after the actor, Paul Reubens, that character could still be licensed/sold. Paul Ruebens could still do interviews, and take jobs under that name, without permission, but he’d bette

This is presumably about the per-country limits on H1Bs- i.e. most countries aren't hitting their quota, so if you apply for one as a citizen of most countries, the wait is comparatively minimal.

Yep, I'm sure there are plenty of 2nd/3rd generation homeless ethnic Indians in the US. Someone with the will and drive to cross 1/2 the globe and get through the visa gauntlet is highly unlikely to end up homeless due to add

I can say all day that my ideas are 'good.' But the only place in the modern era that has tried mass 'free housing' are communist ones and all those societies stopped doing it or failed altogether. That doesn't seem

"In a functioning economy" is doing a lot of work here. Here in reality the parent comment is 100% correct.

SpaceX is interesting in that the 'market' is 'Elon wants to go to Mars.' The side effect of that market is that in order to go to Mars and colonize it, you need transformatively massive, instant, and cheap access to spa

Xi accomplished a lot when he felt some restraints internally and externally- as those restraints have fallen away and he's been unleashed to do as he will, his 'touch' has faded alongside. Stopped reporting real economic n

Unconnected to whom it actually is, the mystery of how the image was generated is enough of a mystery to keep digging for answers.

'Since two years ago' is still awkward. Generally a native speaker would choose the phrasing 'for the last two years.' The other two examples work, though 'since yesterday' is still slightly forced unless its a
