The interesting part has more to do with the ideological fundation than with the electoral reality. It's not about winning a few percentage points, it's about the ground work for their political vision. Like the Great…
I deeply oppose MAGA but the idea of winning through the take over of the cultural institution - school, universities, the media - has been theorized by Gramsci followers like Marcuse and Horkheimer. In a lot of way,…
It has similarity in that there is a form of alliance between predominantly white fundamentalist catholics and evangelical christians and Trump which is embodied by Vance which could be seen as mimicking Putin proximity…
It flagged me saying UBI by giving money to the rich was a form of negative transfers as "negativity" and said it was polarizing. I don't think it's ready for prime time.
The main thing Google is screwing up is that if my API key somehow leaks and I end up with extremely out of line billing at Microsoft, I will be on the phone with a customer representative as soon as we or they notice…
As far as I know, they are merely shifting capacities from the customer market towards the data center market with minimal retooling. I am unaware of any of the three actively investing in new capacity. Some modest…
That's not how this works. Unregulated markets are not a free for all. Law still apply in the absence of a regulator. Also, unrelated minor pet peeve, but what's the deal with the "not ai emdash"? You can just use dash…
RAM production is highly inelastic and controlled by an oligopoly. They have little desire to increase production considering the lead time and the risk that the AI demand might be transient. They actively prefer…
I think you missed the core arguments of the article. Fewer stops mean faster bus and faster bus helps with regularity and wait time. It also means you can do more loops with the same number of buses and drivers so it…
I don't think it explains everything. I think social norms have a lot to do with it. It's like the actual social costs of being the one who broke the social trust is so high it dissuades people. It worked for me on a…
AI doomsday scenarios all have the same flaws. They systematically confuse social constructs with laws of nature. Everything that starts with mass unemployment and don't finish with strikes, riots and the technology…
The cynic in me thinks they don't want to crash their valuation.

Would banning the whole system have any downside? It's still unclear to me what crypto is supposed to be useful for.

Google services are banned at the very large company I work at and that's not because they are technically poor. It's just that the last time we had to deal with their customer support, they were so bad someone at the…
The interesting part is that it keeps going up. You seem to believe we have somehow reached a cap where Meta can just expense it as a cost of doing business. That's not how European law works. The fine maximum is far…
1% of Meta's global revenue is a tiny-tiny cost of doing business? At that point, I think I can stop even trying to argue here. It's a massive fine any way you put it. Especially when you consider the ceiling hasn't…
Reading a lot will not make you a good writer. It will hopefully get you familiar with the main characteristics of a good story, give you vocabularies and some ideas of how you should structure your writing and what you…

Maybe but lobbying is extremely strong in SE Asia. It's hard to distinguish from governments putting pressure for something and companies suggesting it would be a good idea.
