My name is sverige and I used to be an "alcoholic." I have attended at least 2,500 AA meetings in various places since the early '80s, and probably many more than that. I was fully indoctrinated in their literature and method

For a while, the story was that watches were going to take over the world. Now, the story is that the overstock has to be got rid of somehow.

The phrase "conspiracy theory" was coined by the CIA. [1,2] It is one of the greatest counters to the exposure of secrets ever invented. This article is a good example of why it is so effective. Who's going to question the

In some markets, ESPN and other sports channels accounts for as much as $20 per month of the standard cable bill, and those costs are rising. [1] And I don't think I'm overestimating the number of people willing to give up paying

ESPN accounts for a huge percentage of most monthly cable bill cost. I never watch live sports, nor do a pretty good percentage of cable subscribers. Just cutting ESPN could reduce cable bills by a third to a half in a lot of markets. Th

It's hard to take the article seriously since global warming accounts for 22% of the subsidies. Where did that number come from? How could it even be known? Meanwhile, Elon Musk's subsidies are well-documented and specific.

I'm sorry to hear that. I guess we can't trust our employers as much as some of us would naturally like to, hoping that it was a good relationship.

The unstated premise in your argument is that a smart person would make a robot if they had the ability. But what if a person were so smart that they could foresee that making the robot would be detrimental in the long term? And then you a

Are you saying if it were Madonna instead of Adele, then some bodyguard company owner could be retired in Costa Rica on his earnings from "Papa Don't Preach" if Madonna had signed such a contract when she started working ther

I agree with what you are saying, particularly about 1) Evan Brown making his own case weak, and 2) not signing such contracts where it is bad for your business. The articles were valuable - thanks! This is different, though, from the case

I've seen the really broad contracts where basically anything you do while employed by them is theirs, but OP said that it would not be out of the question that the boss could get a cut of the earnings from music. Is there any place

I'm a huge fan of the two-clause BSD license, but I can also understand that regret. I've always wondered how you would monetize something like this, though. It always seems difficult to me how you ensure that you're being

What is great about being a human is that, even if the premise turns out to be true, 1) I will never be a marketer, and yet 2) I will not starve. I don't have to be smarter than a robot, I just have to be smarter than the person who m

I had known these words for years. The feeling of knowing that you used to know what, say, "superannuated" or "collusion" or "hegemony" meant, but right now you haven't a clue, is distressing. These words

2050? Maybe they can run their systems on GNU Hurd then. (</sarcasm> I've been hearing how fusion reactors are "just around the corner" since I was a teenager, at least 40 years now.)
