The real problem here is that people are incapable of weathering a disruption to their way of life for a long term benefit to humanity. Progress is never linear. It is a jagged line with an upward slope. No major technological leap has been

I love this website. It captures how people think they have unique opinions about <new_technology> being bad, but in reality, it's a tale as old as time. No one wants to be the person resistant to change and progress. But the f

Americans have far higher net worths and disposable income after taxes and social transfers including healthcare according to the EU's own OECD statistics. I know for a fact pre-tax pay is the main number employers discuss. Your sister

Americans have learned a lot more from having a flourishing tech industry than the EU has, which has stagnated for 20+ years and has missed out on the mobile revolution and will miss the AI revolution. Our model works to create actual progr

This is a ridiculous take. Of course Google should be allowed to link to Google Maps from their homepage and search. I have never seen this level of adoration for ridiculous overregulation. This is the reason the EU has stagnated and will c

If you have ever worked in pharma you know that literally thousands of promising drugs have been left on the table because the regulatory costs/burdens to see the ideas through are simply too high. It is maybe one of the greatest trave

Except the change the EU is trying to encourage with this ruling is really absurdly dumb. It's clearly and transparently rent seeking. We are already in a trade war and the only one that refuses to acknowledge it is the US. The US need

I hope big tech just leaves the EU and leaves them scrambling to replace large swaths of infrastructure while everything goes down.

And the mainstream (leftist) media doesn't? I listened to both and JRE definitely pointed out some fucked up and verifiable systemic issues with the Democrats that you wouldn't have even noticed if you only listened to MSM.

To be fair, Brexit is the only thing that might keep the UK in the AI race given the EU's draconian anti-AI regulations.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with being anti illegal immigration. My parents had to wait ten years to get their citizenship, do a test, etc. Meanwhile we let people hop the border and download an app these days. It's a disgrace. T

I want my taxes to go down, I want illegal immigration to end, and I don't give a shit about identity politics. I didn't vote for Trump but these are the fundamental truths the democrats keep on missing. This is what Americans car

Even at large companies. Secrets management was not even being done across large swaths of FAANG companies until ~2020. I know some people that made a very lucrative career out of enabling secrets at these orgs from 2010-2020.

With barely any economic or social power and bringing virtually nothing to the table. It would be trivial to assert dominance over them.

Sorry, I really don't care about being "neoimperialist." I'm sure that's a bad word to you but I'm all about protecting US interests abroad and asserting global dominance and power. You'll find that at lea

Do you really think the US is incapable of asserting economic or policy pressure over some random third world country? These countries' economic health is practically completely at our whims. Look at Cuba.
