You seem to be anti-polymarket. I'm speculating that one or more of their competitors are behind the timing on this raid, and not offering any opinion on whether polymarket made a wise choice in not seeking regulation or whether or not

You're right, I had been using a definition of regulatory capture that doesn't really fit what I'm seeing when I look it up. I learned it to mean capture of market share through regulation, either by getting your competitors

Robinhood launched a new feature where we could bet on the presidential candidate. I've heard of a couple others too, so I think that laws were created and funded by competitors, and they defined what was legal in a way that excluded p

I think that was a big draw. Being dependent on his dad whom he grew to hate was a big push to his adventures, and he just wanted to be able to try himself against nature. People kept bailing him out, so he could never get the answer of whe

In Norway they have a bunch of chalets like that, the key is to build and stock them in the summer. Don't pull a Chris McCandless, but plenty of people have survived the arctic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hy-4NxJRx

It makes sense that the Pro model is less efficient since it's more focused on performance.

Which government agency would use eminent domain to take land and start mining? We have historical precedence with the oil industry using various scanning methods in a similar manner, but it was the oil companies who went to the landowners

You're the one who directly took us from Palantir to sandwiches, in a clear attempt to distract from the core subject of manipulating humans on a mass scale without using "force"

Kissinger set out for a policy that prioritized stability, communication, and mutual understanding of each others' desires to live their own lives. If we do not "take care" of other countries (as in stop being world police, s

All deliberate actions to achieve certain outcomes are "force", it is a scale not a binary option.

“We don't rise to the level of our expectations, we fall to the level of our training.” Reading about it generates expectations, and they can be deadly.

The government needs to provide a service if we ever want taxes to be included. Taxes vary by city and can even depend on where you live, so sellers wouldn't be able to give you a price until you say where you are and where you're

It'll be determined by who can effectively train the next generations of employees.

The fact that a drug can cause a shortcut is completely normal I think, alcohol can nearly instantly give you the confidence that months of training would take, hallucinogens can give states of mind that monks spend years meditating and bre

Modern gas pumps don't work without electricity, but batteries and generators can still charge electric cars.

More risk more reward! It makes it that much sweeter when possible. I know someone who has done it a few times in San Diego, a ~45min commute. They do work as a paragliding pilot though

Or spotify jamming a song into everyone's algorithms, as a cynical take. I have never looked up and played Drake or Taylor Swift, but they come up in "curated" playlists thought-provokingly often.

The analogies shouldn't be needed at work for sure, but they work well for people who aren't industry and don't especially care. Eyes glaze over at anything beyond "database" but people know about moving toilets so

If the poster is referring to the comic, the geotagging is the chair, the bird identification is the toilet, and the act of "moving" is the effort involved. An analogy that could more closely fit could be something like: You have

I'm forgetting the name of it, but there's a special OS designed for space. The main issue is that bits get flipped all the time once you leave the protection of the magnetosphere. On the surface of the earth, we generally trust m

I think the Onion has become very political over the last year or so. When I started following the Babylon Bee, they were already very political to me.

by scottyah 2y ago
It seems to me that the Onion had a schism and split into the Babylon Bee and this new, very political version. I ended up unfollowing them on Instagram when it was (in my opinion) just thinly-veiled hate-based politics. Did anyone experien

Nobody has come up with a scalable metric for determining quality that can't be appropriated by SEO. Pagerank was one of the best for awhile (number sites that link to your site, weighted by their rank). Whether it be clicks, time on p

I can't really find where your line for "space travel" is. Humans on earth need resupply from other parts of earth, the bases on Antarctica are about equally as unhospitable towards humans, not to mention cruise ships where s

Looking good and all tailored helps, but maybe you can contribute to the trend of women wearing comfortable, looser-fitting clothing. Seems popular with the youth, and doesn't always look slovenly. Can't beat the hoodie imo.

I'm not sure anyone has access to the real data, but I've had a suspicion that Netflix is able to remain a lot more profitable due to their superior tech. Cloud hosting and streaming (not to mention labor) can get very expensive,
