And? Is "people [allegedly] have different political views than me" supposed to be equivalent to "this is the personal defense lawyer for POTUS?" Re your analogy: the power is with Hobbits. We call them grand and petit…

The antivax people are still fringe and by and large people trust that the drugs they take are safe and effective. Payday and exit is pretty hard in biotech as you need to conjure up billions of dollars in capital,…
I don't think this is necessarily a good policy. I'm saying it's obviously blatantly untrue to suggest that just because people will always want to corrupt public officials, that they will be equally successful in all…
Right, and there can be laws that make their efforts more or less effective. For example, we could behead people convicted of corrupting or being corrupted. That would be a significant deterrent.
The conversation about "why should I care about this" is a conversation about "should anything be done about this." The mechanism by which one would "do anything" about this is called government. So sure. Thank you for…
Yeah the real answer is banning private funding from politics in as many ways as possible.
Actually in a system that's constrained by a downstream subprocess, it is effectively 0%. There's nearly zero value, and practically speaking probably negative value, in being able to more cheaply generate drug…
Testing a drug in a terminally ill person for something other than their illness is not going to produce meaningful data. You misunderstand how hard it is to pull signal from a drug being put into a human body, which is…
Three good reasons to care about inequality itself: 1. Outsized political influence (in theory can be mitigated by laws controlling corporate spending, but obviously those laws themselves are subject to manipulation by…
Funny as both are founded by ex-Palantir people!
They actually cannot "just" buy the type of data GP is alluding to, which is telecom cell tower data, and is protected from such warrantless disclosures.

Press release announcing a new car: > erhmygord I can't even buy this car right this second for nearly nothing and use it to drive a thousand miles per hour through a kindergarten parking lot?!?!
Fake hacker thinking Google Wave wasn't released to the public lol
And to be clear, they couldn't have passed that law because doing so would be extremely unpopular. I.e. they would not have been able to gain the required support for their actions.
Huh? How are you imagining the hiring process for that working, if not derivative of an elected person's mandate from the public?
Most cutting edge technologies through history have been 1) somewhat opaque and 2) narrow/exclusive in their deployment. Historically speaking, that's virtually synonymous with "cutting edge technology". Whining that I,…
The general history of new technologies is that they're available for a narrow set of circumstances and then they proliferate. Can't believe that needs to be said on "hackernews"
Really hard to see how someone who wasn't even part of the executive could possibly enjoy executive immunity. Welp into the wood chipper! such a bummer /s
What an insane set of requirements for a frontier technology and your excitement by it.
