And just as I checked it, they pinned this tweet (an hour later)-- Elon Musk @elonmusk·38s I am giving back to my community due to Covid-19! All Bitcoin sent to my address below will be sent back doubled. If you send $1,000, I will send bac

I knew a libertarian activist who never paid taxes on $1 million+ earned over 5-years. He'd get giant letters from the IRS in the mail. Years later he got involved in crypto and promoted a $750 million scheme. Knowing he had issues w

A Starry employee told me they're going to start offering Starlink Internet next year in rural areas. In my city they're offering a $50/month 200-300 mb/s service using Air Fiber from Ubiquity.

That’s not true about YT wormholes pushing viewers into far right content. And yes people are being banned for innocuous misgendering. And for saying only biological women are women. It’s not hate speech to say that. Declaring things as tru

I'd like to buy one and try to have it build a robot like itself. Would I be able to sell them? Maybe now but not the version in 2040.

People are more biased by charisma, beauty, having a skill, being fashionable, being talented, working hard etc etc. The idea that race alone is a deciding factor is minor compared to how attractive you are in general.

Was the word rape even a word 12,000 years ago? It's shocking that my comment which is a balanced, reasonable, principled perspective, is considered controversial. John Locke is debatable now? Well let's hope the European Union

Name another country that's built better systems. Of course, LIFE isn't fair. But be careful tearing down classical liberalism hoping that some centralized authority will dictate the perfect expression of how a human being should

Based on this story with Aaron and experiences in the 1990s with hacker friends, my opinion of federal prosecutors is very low. I see them as highly educated people who excel in relativism and twist ethics and law to achieve narrow goals w

They already do this in LA. Get sentenced to 120 days in jail but due to overcrowding you’d do 5-10 days in jail. Soon local politicians will require you only to do 1% of jail time so you’ll be sentenced to a 100 years in jail for a misdeme

They raised like $4 billion. I like Dan Larimer but here's a funny article that encompasses his background- https://coinjazeera.news/dan-larimer-receives-guinness-world...

Few people correctly remember that "yelling fire in a crowded theater" was a comment directed at anti-war socialists who were distributing 'propaganda' against World War I. It's a rallying cry for suppressing war p

Facebook is funny because I generally agree and disagree with everyone. But people make their points so poorly, they have no sense of objectivity or analytical ability, that I’m dismayed by all sides by the lack of a principled approach. 90

The Chinese State is based on Marxism-Leninism and wants to dominate the world. There is a difference in that and any other country that acknowledges natural rights. If you believe rights are innate, then you can’t openly tolerate a state t

Well some people think Robert E. Lee handled the defeat of the war in a noble way. While I’ve heard many perspectives, I’m not sure of the origins of the war or the implications. President Lincoln was a legitimate racist, so his opinion com

I view Ritalin and Adderall as a performance enhancer. I have never seen a biological study proving ADHD except perhaps some EEG. Virtually everyone I have known prescribed amphetamines abused them. (Anecdotal warning) And my ex roommate wa

There is no purpose for this. I was in the protests and amid the looting in LA. You’re being photographed for dozens of different angles. I love Signal but it’s so klunky and broken. Telegram is much more fluid despite it being less secure.

Speaking of lazy, if your brain is lazy like mine it might interpret this sentence differently: “I only make one or two habits each month.” The words above it combined with the expectation that I thought it said “baby habits” made my brain
