It never ceases to amaze me that a country with such abundant natural resources, the largest economy in the world, and a massive military budget, doesn't have the resources to deal with these existential issues.

Because that's what you'll do when you have a bad day, and this piece of trash gets stuck for the 5th time this week.

Fair, but how will robots change that?

Isn't this the case already? As most people, I don't have the best opinion on contractors, but you can always hire somebody better than you for the job, if you have the money.

Can't you just enjoy things you like doing? Not everything needs to be a grind or a side hustle.

Hopefully we transition into a post-work society. Socialist countries will stick the landing, while the bottom of the American society plunges more into poverty. It's never too late to stop voting for people who despise you, and think

I can't imagine that building facilities and capturing resources to funnel them into underground farms is more efficient than using the sun, rain, and soil that's already there. With modern farming techniques, you can capture more

How about don't support people who profit off of cheap clones and "forget" to mention the original years later.

To add to the clone topic, 2048 was cloned from 1024, so any claims of being only inspired by Threes fall apart quickly. IMHO, the way you're trying to sell 2048 is revisionist history and just plain shit. You can't turn back time

It's not different to 1024, and not giving credit where it's due is not unintentional. It's like making a falling blocks game with tetrominoes, but the board is 20 blocks wide, and you "forgot" to mention that it&#x

Looks like everybody hates this feature. If Elon wanted to push his tweets on people he blocked, why not implement this only for his account?

How can you type something like this after the numerous independent reports of IDF behaviour, civilian casualties in Gaza, and the treatment of Palestinians in the West Bank? I can't believe anybody can just ignore reality like that.

Yes, it means you're better than others at chess.

If you're a chess grandmaster then you're good at a game.

They don't move because the food's better. How is your comment relevant to the discussion?

Kind of sick of these "I quit tech to do X" articles when the author clearly made more than enough to retire. Same vibe as Tim Ferris showing you his daily routine of working out, reading books, and answering 3 e-mails.

Go through the Ben Eater channel on YouTube. It'll get you up to speed with early 80s computing. Computers quickly stop feeling like magic after you grasp the basics. Watching him build a VGA card should be enough to intuit how Pong wa

Calling it a global population collapse ends up sounding like a dog whistle.

by torlok 2y ago
It always felt to me that the people sounding the horn on population collapse just think that not enough of the "desirable" people are being born.

Unless you cut it like Ocean's 11, it would probably get cancelled for being too boring to the general public.

In Florida insurance companies outright refuse to cover some places.

The second sentence describes a lot of startups.

If you factor in dealing with somebody's black box code 6 months into a project, you'll realise you're saving both money and time.

There's no good reason. This is just more of "don't say gay" nonsense. It's meant to pull people into a culture war so that politicians can win points without solving any real issues.

It's not remarkable. The vocal ones are mostly right-wingers who vote in the people who initiate and support these bans.

You pay a thousand bones for a device you have to babysit. What's confusing about that?
268.
by torlok 2y ago
I always wondered who would pay $1000 for a device you have to babysit, just so that you can become an unpaid beta tester and data drone for SV millionaires. I guess all you have to do is tell people they're a part of a revolution?

You can give all the examples of socialism working in other first-world countries, and you still won't get through to the temporarily embarassed millionaires.

Until you look at places like Florida, where "anti-woke" people ban sex-ed books, and drag shows.
