Anything beyond ascetic maximalism will be cast as greed to the naturists and malthusians. There's always someone out there who is going to make the argument.

You're making a lot more assumptions on the inner workings of other people's minds than I am. I lot of startups do a lot of shady things before they get big because most of them just flounder out. The ones that make it just deal w

They was a really good chance they wouldn't have gotten caught before when LLMs were less successful. It was their success that got them caught. Now, if they continued pirating, they'd definitely get caught and the judgements agai

They are "forced" to do this because that's what they have to do to abide by copyright law. They can't create a digital duplicate without destroying the original.

Or, spitballing here, let the gas tax reprieve be the incentive and don't offer a rebate for EVs. Regardless, gas tax is a stupid way to pay for roads. Everyone uses roads, whether they drive on them or not. And, they won't be rep

I assume you mean about buying less (taxed) gas. Never fear, California is also talking about shifting to a mileage baded road tax because EVs (which they heavily incentivized) saving money on gas can't go untaxed.

If I see a glass off water on my coffee table placed precariously close to the edge it's concerning. When my dog starts running around the living room swinging her rope around, it becomes more urgent. When she bumps the table and the g

We couldn't have stopped using fossil fuels heavily until nuclear power was widespread and implemented, around the late 70s or 80s. We could have traditioned our grids off of fossil fuels but we also depend on them for fertilizer to fe

It could incentivize good outcomes if we chose to pay more for some measurable amount of rehabilitation. The nice thing about outsourcing to for profit entities is that you don't have to come up with the ideas, you can just pay for the

My point isn't that they aren't making money. My point is that they aren't making 1.4 billion dollars on it. It's not quite as impressive to say they've increased their profits 60m which gives a much different impre

It's intentionally misleading to use revenue in this headline. People will read that headline and come away with the impression that private prisons are making billions. They're expenses are most likely scaling with their revenue.

People say that and maybe even believe it but, even more than they believe that, the believe that the one thing the next president is going to unilaterally do is too important to let Congress deliberate on and, possibly, not do.

I think you're describing political commentary habits becoming general writing habits. It works with just about anyone but try and say something positive about Trump and, if you don't add a qualifier like that, the first reply is
