I have 20/20 vision and this presentation hurt my eyes. I'm glad my browser has "reader mode" to normalize things like this. I'm not trying to yuck someone else's yum. I simply appreciate the technical ability to read…
Politicians are lazy, sure. I also believe that hearing sustained and prolonged resistance to X as a communication platform will make a difference. It's real grassroots effort.
Yes, yes! I might be old enough to remember when that happened.
Okay, how did I break the guidelines per your assessment? I'm genuinely curious.
Because they are both part of the SpaceX Company. They are intimately tied together.
Excellent question. My definition is admittedly qualitative. I spend a fair bit of time listening to commentary by people who are connected to policy decisions at the state and federal level (in the USA). An unusual…
Fair points. I would say that classifying an argument as "silly" without any supporting evidence is borderline ad hominem because it doesn't make a substantive critique of the assertion, and instead colors the character…
No, I did not claim "a massive percentage of the population accessed the internet (via starlink)". Try again. I said that people in REMOTE regions, by which I mean those who are underserved by traditional internet…
How so? Defend your position. (edit: I genuinely don't understand how your replies are anything other than ad hominem attacks. Your responses are about as effective as a toddler asking "why?" over and over and over…
lololol. Obviously you don't know any Ukranians.
Yes, yes, and yes. Let's revive RSS. It's still good, even if it's been on the floor beyond the "five second rule".
I forgot to reply to your message last week. Thanks for this perspective. While I don't know much about the details of Russia's influence operation on Brexit, it seems highly plausible that exacerbating tensions between…
I agree that SV's regressive culture is a problem. I've seen it up close. I don't have a solution, but I am concerned about where this trend might lead us.
Ok. Show your work. Which social network has larger reach than X? Which social network has stronger influence on humans who make policy decisions than X? Which internet provider can deliver reliable access to remote…
Unfortunate, yes. Futile? No. Remember that AT&T once had a firm grip over human communication. That didn't last. Remember that AOL once had a firm grip over how a massive percentage of the population accessed the…
Why do you believe it's "just as easy to plant a seed for people to latch on to"? Please provide some basis, whether it's first hand experience or published research. I'm open to the possibility that I'm misinformed. I…
You're very correct. It's much, much easier to amplify sentiment that already exists, as opposed to attempting to manufacture sentiment from nothing at all. That's been true for as long as propaganda has existed, afaik.
The issue is that "whoever" isn't a single homogeneous entity. I would presume that someone in the organization spotted the discrepancy. Having worked closely with (and sometimes for) large corporations, I cannot…
IIRC, most wifi enabled televisions have internal antennae. Remove that (or otherwise disable it) and you significantly improve your security posture by ensuring the radio can't hold a connection beyond the TV bezels.
The best simple and easy answer is "Never connect your television to the internet, ever."
Yep, it does seem far fetched. And it's also happening. It was reported in the source video upon which the blog post was written about: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6IFVTcM28KA
You might want to watch the video. LG tvs have the ability to record when they're not connected, and if you or your neighbors have an open wifi connection (like the ones that Comcast routers enable by default), it will…
At the Federal level, absolutely. I could imagine that California and New York could work together to affect meaningful change. It would still be tough because specialty finance regulation is unlikely to generate the…
Based on my experience on the fundraising side, I'm inclined to agree with your perspective. One small nit to pick: I think policy changes can happen. However, it's hard for me to imagine meaningful change occurring…
There is an explicit claim in the essay that says they aren't all the same. Third bullet point says "a handful of venture capital firms have become 'do everything' funds that combine private equity with their existing…
