I hate to break it to you, you are already in an "Orwellian mass surveillance state" and just don't realize it, just as the majority of people in the Orwellian mass surveillance state also were not aware of. Case in point, ar

That would be a good thing for you to research to build an understanding for the scale of what you are simplifying. Here's a start; just alone during a rather non-pandemic of 2020-2022 the USA alone used about 1.8 billion, with a B, gl

You’re not dumb. It has come up in extremely sophisticated valuations of SpaceX pre-IPO, if I recall off the top of my head, the only business that actually had any value, StarLink, assumes an irrational TAM.

It also creates a private internet on which “private enterprise” does not have to abide by the Constitution or any subordinate laws. Sure, it’s just “fear mongering” now, just like digital ID, digital currency, mass surveillance, and speech

Waze is way better for that and where Google gets its data, but delayed it seems, because they’re both Alphabet.

Always the rows about some kind of BS that fragments, fractures, and defuses the efforts into pet projects instead of ever actually being a viable alternative for the majority of people to corporate offerings. The hardest thing about any ef

That is not a logical way of locking at it. You can’t simply “practically zero” the not-zero marginal cost, on top of acting like there’s not a fixed cost that is literally the reason you rationalize that there is “practically zero” margina

That’s effectively always the point in this fake America (and no, that’s not a recent characteristic), misleading; or more specifically false confession, preemptive narrative control, and a form of poisoning the well. See, peasants, we pass

What is ironic about that? There is nothing ironic about that. That's just you inverting and making stuff up out of narcissistic tendencies to deflect from the uncomfortable truth. One person affecting the life of another out of selfis

You are both missing the target. It's far too complex to fully elaborate on here, but suffice it to say that Europe has broken an iron triangle of choices, which not only limits the number of concurrent choices possible, but also requi

Talk about narcissism. You don't want anyone to have any guilt even when they adversely and negatively affect others. How about this, you don't put others in a bind or adversely affect them if you don't want actual guilt, reg

I’m not sure if you meant it, but it is indeed the EU, or what it represents and its purpose to suffocate excellence that is at the very core of this matter. But the pay does not actually matter either, people can and do excel in spite of p

Is not rage bait even if it enrages you to hear the truth. It’s rather funny how the narcissists come streaming out of the woodwork when you call them out. But I understand it, narcissists have no ability to instant their own nature, i.e. t

The fact that you ignore the core of what I said and deflected with distraction is quite telling. I agree with you, but the point was not anything about work life balance; it was about not being selfish, self centered, narcissistic; realizi

I agree. They built the J-20, including the engines with several variants. When you look at the whole landscape, it is clearly deliberate and strategic prioritization and sequencing that was the limiting factor. It doesn’t even take a lot t

Why would you guess something like that? You seem rather confused and clearly are far more confident than informed. Most Americans don’t even understand basic things like what NATO actually is, let alone Europeans. The peasants have never u

That reminds me of the insanity in places like Spain where they want your passport or resident information for every little thing. We really need to start building a new form of “Democracy” in the backbone of not only that anything that the
