Ive never seen Star Trek, but lets say you had an infinite food machine. The machine would have limited throughput, and it would require resources to distribute the food. These are both problems that capitalism solves in a fair and effic

When I stayed in New York, I was asked to pay a $95 a night “cleaning fee” after I paid for the room in advance. Definitely avoid “yotel” if you can.

It completely depends on where you live in SF. The people in the wealthy hyper gentrified areas are baffled that people would think the city is unsafe. Meanwhile people with less income are exposed daily to an epidemic of drug addiction, h

How safe you are mostly depends on your gender, size and frankly race. If you are a tall male your experience is simply not comparable to someone that is less able to fend off a physical confrontation. Its great nothing traumatic happened t

My understanding is that conscious is a side affect of how memory works. Your conscious experience is essentially processing stimuli, connecting with existing memories, processing, and storing what is written to your “conscious” scratchpad.

We need a fund the police movement in SF desperately. When my bike was stolen last month the officer on the phone said they were something like 400 officers understaffed.

That’s your stance, but look at the comment I was replying to “You haven't cited anything that shows China cares about using TikTok as a means of influencing foreign countries”. The US (and post WW2 europe) has a long-standing policy o

The US does not live in an isloated vaccum where it's not affected by geopolitics. Your life will be impacted, personally when China decides to invade Taiwan. I don't want to be spied on by either government, but this point you

China is preparing a military invasion of a US Ally (Taiwan) within the next 5 years. They absolutely care about influenceing the US public to oppose military support for Taiwan. I would go a step further and say that reclaiming Taiwan and

In Japan it's common to freeze rice instead of refridgerating. I wonder if this is part of the reason.

The difference is banning content vs banning a medium. Its like if there was an e-reader that sat in your living room spying on you, but it displayed books for free. Banning that device is not the same as banning content itself.
