I'd settle for explaining what all these UAPs are, what are they doing?

Think of the sea and pirate trawlers destroying the seabeds everywhere. We need to manage it.

Please connect the dots for me. What does a room temp & atmosphere superconductor do for space travel? I am unaware of any obvious impact.

I don't think other democracies have allowed travesties like rich people funding elections (aka Citizen's United). It's possible the US will be able to stop it, but the insidious impact of that wealth feels like it is unendin

Consumption taxes are hugely regressive, and really hit poor people hard. This would make doing taxes easier and probably cheaper for well paid programmers (like many of us), and hit poor people hard. We need non-regressive taxes. Californi

If you try to use Tor for anything, then you find many sites block it or want you to click on captuas that won't work right over it.

Great point. But also I think a company like Intel deliberately segments aka removes useful functionality from cheaper systems, wanting to protect the very profitable, more expensive systems with better ethernet or whatnot.

But you can't get the info back though.

When I retire from being a software engineer I somehow want to be involved in this kid of thing. A lot of this is big data processing, finding signals, in large amounts of information. The gravitational wave is another case.

Okay, but what about trusting everyone in the world and doing a random car and phone swap every morning, isn't that a great idea?

With us all carrying cell phones and most all EVs having a net connection, anonymity is hopeless. For phones I could get a burner and then when I login in, no privacy. So then a burner w net connection that somehow isn't on at my house

Health concerns?

The only way to stop them I can forsee is them losing expensive lawsuits where the outcome is they have to ask your permission first, along with a clearing house to find out where all of them are so you can check and tell them no - of cours

Phone numbers have some value as a verification endpoint, but because it's so easy to steal people's mobile phone numbers via Sim jacking, calling the phone company and saying Hi. I'm xyz and I have a new SIM card and please

Female problems? Are you serious, that is a pretty negative way to describe health issues that might apply only to women. Why would you put it that way, it's just kind of dismissive.

This was painful. It was basically "how big traditional companies want people to feel who want to work from home, those ungrateful destroyers of civilization".

So we need other dimensions. Thanks for that article you wrote, made it easy to understand 2b etc. We need something like the danger of getting cancer from it. Tobacco doesn't make everyone get some kind of cancer, but it hugely increa

Ultra and highly processed foods are terrible for us. Consuming so much more sugar than in nature seems to be bad for glucose intolerance. I love bacon but I try to resist ever having any. Don't buy meats with nitrates. We do have way

That's an actual true statement though, you are breaking our sarcastic train of thought.

Yeah, we should just refuse to give away well as accept take homes when interviewing. There was the company where I and some other experience people decided to give someone a take home. And we regretted it because I think it took more than

That first link you gave shows a lot of variation, but doesn't give any info to compare to 1950s because it only goes to 1987, as you said. So we can't use that to make any conclusions about now versus 1950s. I think we also have

Great that these people had success. But how many breweries are there a town of 10k people, 1 or 2 maybe. These are the 1% success stories. The economics doesn't allow each of us to open businesses that succeed, there just isn't t

They might not be "major" but they are likely the world's leader in making electronic surveillance of protestors and reporters possible by despotic regimes.

I think it's because he seems like that God,-like man who is going to lead you to the promised land! He's like a TV preacher, he's got that charisma and you went to follow him! And give him a billion dollars.

The details about that lawsuit in the link do not seem like google is subverting anon mode to me. They just use usual cookie tracking, so they can track you if you are logged in to some site that uses google analytics (ie analytics isn&#x
