In fact the current trends suggest its impact hasn't fully played out yet. We're only just seeing the internet-native generation start to move into politics where communication and organisation has the biggest impact on society. I

One of the joys of vast wealth and success is living your own life without anyone else telling you what to do. So from that sense, good on Woz. Money doesn't lead to happiness and if he wants happiness then his money wasn't the pl

The argument is clear, but where you are coming from or going to with this isn't. You're describing a situation where Seattle desperately needs large amount of construction of new housing. If we're hypothesising this mob of p

I think the original paraphrase is actually pretty reasonable even with the full context - what is Section 1 doing in the Act if it is primarily aimed at protecting children? There is a lot more public discourse going on than there are unsa

The West have been executing a long-range plan for 30 years on this one, the lack of power plants is intentional. There have been any number of roadblocks and people working hard to prevent the West doing specifically what the Chinese have

The simplest explanation is this is political language. People in politics use something close to doublespeak with they have two words for the same act, one good and one bad (terrorist/freedom fighter for example). The word used is cho

The list of technological examples in the article are all notable for their economic effects and the first one was enabling factory jobs. The AI revolution is, so far, actually pretty economically mild, small and unprofitable for a tech rev

We know what uplifting lower class people looks like - the formula that works as seen in Asia, Europe and the US was masses of factories, lots of capital investment and tolerating high pollution. Minimum wages don't seem to be part of

I don't think the complaint is ultimately against the post - if someone wants to post whatever on their blog that is fine. The complaint is more targeted against the people upvoting it because ... it is hard to speculate what their mot

But that was the best job they could find. Presumably those people are going to be unemployed now. I mean, maybe they're kids and their families will have enough slack to just adsorb the change but in theory they need welfare checks no

Because that happens naturally without a law. People lower the wage they ask for until they get a job.

As always, the world is quite messy and one study doesn't really tell us very much. Maybe the Californian fast food sector is just having a tough time for unrelated and coincidental reasons. However, the theory always said that a minim

I don't remember what is in it, but if you want to discredit the Protocols saying "it predicted X" when X then happened is not the easy path. The main counterargument is the idea that organisation could be race-based vs poi

The most interesting part of this article is there doesn't seem to be any strong evidence that the paranoid people were wrong. Europe has spent most of the last 200 years under the control of a relatively small number of families and i

They can and frequently such people are; but they aren't very obvious because they stop while the business is still small. If we don't harness greed into doing something productive then there isn't enough motivation in the wo

Because they make and sell a lot of hardware. I'm sure they do have a lot of patents and licences, but if all that disappeared today it'd be years to decades before anyone could compete with them. Even just getting a foot in the d

It is possible - for example, getting a blob of physics data, fitting a curve then projecting the curve to theorise what would happen in new unseen situations. The information constraints don't limit the ability to generate new data in

The flip side is that if they can technically pull that off then the cost of writing the library has dropped so low that an OSS maintainer probably wouldn't have to work too hard to write it anyway.

Fortunately this is the software industry. We've got a lot of those autists and that automating urge is the best part about software. If someone don't like the idea of sitting around babysitting factories of machines they certain

"Stupid" seems like a pretty fair way of describing that. If someone watches media that outrages them, misinforms them then causes them to make stupid decisions then the consequences are very much on their head. It is well know th

What experience do you want to point too? I've never seen an artist streaming where they can draw something equivalent to a good piece of AI artwork in 20 minutes. Their advantage right now comes from a higher overall cap on quality of
