I assume those are lines of code in just the kernels. As an FYI to everyone: The OpenBSD and FreeBSD teams both maintain entire distributions, similar to Linux + Debian or Linux + Redhat. The OpenBSD team also owns a…

I'd say yes. Things like increased military spending (largest since the end of the cold war, 2% of gdp), buying non-US weapon systems (like saab globaleye, instead of u.s. awacs), exploring other alliances (with Europe…
I agree, we could do so much better. Zoning can be a tremendous quality of life issue, and needing a car to participate in society is an expense other people in other places aren't burdened with.
Or a regression in the standard of living. Ideally to a comfortable sweet spot for people.

If self-driving is better, then presumably cheaper insurance costs would be an incentive.
Big tech is a coercive power. They are cooperating with the government to control the population. Doesn't that worry you? Don't you think there should be limits, beside profitability? I think of it as flaws in our…

I don't get how that hasn't had an effect on prices. There's not enough houses on the market (zoning, and people want to keep their low-rate mortgages), there's people worried they can't afford houses (prices inflated…
