Isn't the anti-adblock technique being used today to simply make the content of the site shill for the advertisers? How would that be blockable?

How many fire deaths are worth how much housing? Inaccessibility of housing is tied to economic destitution, homelessness, and other things that directly cause deaths. It's entirely possible for more quality-adjusted life years to be l

ah yes, did not think of this. Looking for cars really far out. Wonder then what the helicopter is really necessary for. Why aren't the cops just installing these cameras on the tops of tall municipal buildings?

Surprised that helicopters can detect a license plate given the steep angles. Maybe front plates that don't have as much of a trunk occluding the overhead view?

Having the idea is like 0.01% of getting a product like this to market. I have an idea for a flying car, clothes that don't get dirty, kitchen tables that wipe themselves down, etc etc.

Vertical farms don't make sense, and never will, except as a curiosity/novelty/luxury product. There's only so many calories you can grow with the incident sun on a piece of ground.

If something is not illegal but clearly bad, it's a lesson that we should change the law. It absolutely should not be legal to lob a completely baseless murder accusation at someone with no evidence.

Not sure you'd learn the most from the hunter-gatherers, who have the narrowest leeway in their survival and must have everyone doing exactly what they're best suited at. A fat rich society with more money than they can spend, lik

One thing that's very true today is that you can build an INCREDIBLE professional network without any in-person interaction. If you're too introverted to do in-person networking, the right combination of committing to projects, be

Society of Mind is just a bunch of unfalsifiable speculations... more New Age mysticism than science or engineering. Not sure how it would have any impact

vi and emacs have certainly had more impact to date, but at the current moment VSCode far outcompetes it on every front. That doesn't mean that there aren't people who still prefer vi or emacs, the same way that some people still
