Also, lets not forget the key concept of counter-party risk. What assurances and real resolutions do you have that what they market is actually true; and the baby your gf is carrying isn't in fact a mini-musk with no related DNA from y

This is largely people who were previously Windows customers but who chose to go another way. Microsoft is doing a lot of shenanigans with their monopoly power, and anti-trust is largely toothless. I know quite a lot of professionals, who f

That was my takeaway from this as well. Money-printing on a global scale is a dangerous thing. Distortions can and will literally break the bank. The smarter people know, that's why there's been such a run on silver and gold latel

Most comprehension is down, and seemingly purposefully so, not on the part of the students but in the effects of the environment the student must participate in. Waiting for Superman (2010) pretty much covers most of the issues, but can&#x2

Most countries today are losing population (below replacement value). The US is at 1.62, Taiwan is at 0.85. There are a lot of economic factors required for having children that are simply not there anymore for quite a lot of people. Third-

In many ways, the market for laptops has collapsed. My latest laptop purchase I view largely as a bonfire where I burned $1200 in effigy, and not from lack of marketing, but from lack of real options. Lenovo has lost a customer in me for li

That may have been the point of union's initially, but the reason the economy didn't collapse when no production occurred is because this never actually happened and was never tested fully. When it came close to being tested, a le

Although I do read a lot of philosophy books, I came to this point of view from a different direction. I took a course awhile back taught by a retired military professor on communications and it was eye-opening. He covered what you would ex

No entity willingly gives up control, and that is what this issue is about. This is going to impact every book out there, creating an environment where the authors simply can't tell their stories anymore because of someone's moral

This is misplaced circular fallacy, but to each their own. I value my life, and by extension my mind quite highly. Those that seem to use these tools become dumber in ways they do not notice. In much the same vein I become smarter in relati

Sam, this perspective is unadulterated hubris or just outright denial. Agentic workflows don't require much instruction, I suggest you actually go and try a few out. They can be set up trivially, they may communicate between roles, and

I don't use AI at all, primarily because I believe its harmful and I am quite mindful of things. I've observed colleagues who have used it extensively, I've often been a late adopter for things that carry unspecified risk; an

My read of this is: There were parts of the process that check whether its a valid proof, which were previously thought to be equivalent, which were in fact not the case. Computer scientists involved knew of cases where this was not the cas

That's called wrong-think. If one were to do that, you would be imposing costs to the point where demand drops to 0, and supply in the near term would follow that to 0. From there you have a short march to economic collapse.

I'm sure there are a lot of McDonald's positions out there, but doesn't 64 million job applicants seem like a bit much? There are only 13,647 locations in the US, so that would be 4,689 applications for each store? Makes you

Interesting find, but I'd label this more soft propaganda intended to discredit or nullify arguments for regulation. On its face it would seem to be absurd without knowing the related history, the video appears to purposefully be meant

Fatalities are horrible to the people involved, and in many cases the people responsible for such are punished. This is about saving a fractional percent of people while backdooring the technologies as a surrogate for control of everyone el

That's saying, if you don't want to pay the tax, just don't make money so you can eat (like there is a choice). If you don't eat you die. So what you really say when you say that is... just die. Pay the tax, or die. Tha

There isn't much of a future for the young or even middle aged at this point. Most of the benefits the old received when they were young were systemically taken away or withheld to enrich the old. Debts were piled onto the young withou

Yeah but where? Citizenship in certain forms today in many cases is just like slavery. You are taxed on anything you make and do regardless of where you go. Giving up your citizenship too costs something like $10,000 now, where they may jus

I think its not very convincing because a lot of the same crowd that reads these blogs has a more nuance perspective on the issues. Many make it about socialism or capitalism, as if that's the great issue, and indirectly it may be. The

Past performance generally speaking does not indicate future prospects. I agree with you, but that is only for right now. 7-10 years from now, I see no new tech jobs and the same work shouldered by a decreasing number of people until they v

That is one of the issues, yes. The main issue though is one of demographics. Like Japan, we have insufficient young people to do the jobs and produce what's needed to support the old. Worse, the old have utilized money printing and th
