Hey! I think I saw you on Ars. Or maybe someone there copied and pasted this?
I dropped out of Kindergarten to make snail teeth powered AI!
So the argument is that any piece of regulation will always lead to a positive outcome? How is that possible?
Just because I'm buying something for someone other then myself it doesn't follow that I don't care how the money is spent. If my tax dollars are wasted it's no comfort to tell myself that the money would have been…
I don't think sovereignty works that way.
decade+ is not really that long, is it? Say you're correct in that time frame. If you put money in now to a venture that seems uncertain then in 5 years it's going to seem much less uncertain - and so the investment…
How does this get them a government contract?
Jesus. I had a colonoscopy. Don't tell me about drinking 2 gallons of water. I won't even get started on an ice cream cone a day.
Someone upthread mentioned that arguments can be about convincing the person you're arguing with or convincing the audience which is absolutely true. I'd suggest that arguments are frequently not about convincing anyone…
I can't find it but my favorite Robin Hood comic strip was one where Robin Hood robs from someone rich and gives it to someone poor. I'm rich! shouts the poor person. You're what? says Robin Hood.
That last line, "children playing in the water make noise. When they get quiet, you get to them and find out why." fills me with dread.
Yeah but more bright is more safe ... for me driving around with the light of a thousand suns coming out of the front of my care at night it seems pretty safe, "good luck everybody else".
For the down votes I would have gone with the "Shocker that Jacobian finds something bad and puts the root cause to Capitalism" comment.
Isn't "data centers are using all the electricity" the same as "we're not pricing electricity correctly"? Instead of a ban just make sure they pay what's needed to keep capacity where it needs to be.
Nah, there'll be a lot of people who think they know what happened and there'll be one person someone at BO who really knows what happened they just don't know they know it yet. In the course of the analysis that person…
I hear what you're saying but ... clearly SpaceX has made some broad technical decisions - I'm think of using metholox or making starship out of steel or falcon first stage re-usability - that seem to have been the…
No one looks at money that way. If it were I'd find a million dollars under the seat cushions of the couch that Bill Gate's owns. No one is so flaked out they don't know that a 100 grand is a nice chunk of change or…
I wouldn't say all the benefits. I mean if I get a cheaper ride from the airport I'm benefiting at least a little bit from this, right?
"Why are slaves doing work for their masters?" Maybe drop that one from the list.
They'll go to Florida.
I worked with a guy who had an internship studying the effects of some drug on rats. He said he didn't have much of a problem killing the rats but also claimed that he knew his dog realized what he was up to at work. It…
Is regulation the word you're looking for? It seems like you just need to get pricing right not regulation.
Any mention of typesetting should work to include Mark Twain's quote about his relationship with the inventor James Paige, who worked on a never quite working as well as could be wished typesetting machine that Twain…
It's probably impossible but bring back the judicial filibuster. If a judge knows that get confirmed in the Senate they'll have to have bipartisan support then you'll end up with a group of judges desperate to appeal to…
yeah. I was waiting for something to get at the consistency of what I was clicking i.e. if I think A is better then B and B is better then C why do I think C is better then A.
