I mean that probably already exists in the broad sense of counter-intel. A premptive honeypot if you will.
Eventually maybe, but the problem is hard from both directions. Answering basic questions such as "what does aspirin actually do at a biochemical level?" or "design a drug to reduce beta amalyoid plaques" are both very…
I can literally out-type my modestly powerful computer when trying to run 'calc.exe' on Windows 11, to compute 5 * 9. That's beyond absurd, and not a phoning home problem (or well it better not be).
Imo this should be the biggest political issue. By-right zoning and permitting accross the board. So much graft, corruption, waste, and stagnation from discretionary approval/denials. Don't want factories zoned next to…
Feckless leadership in action. Responsibility has been defused to the point where it's no one's job or responsibility.
I read a bunch of carpenters bemoaning the invention of the table saw.
>Without correlation, what are we left with? Mechanism. Testable causality. X causes cancer by doing y.
Trying to argue for and enforce a 'you may not use our product for an express objective of the US military' provision is pretty clearly "trying to dictate". Actively cancelling, moving capabilities behind a 'safety'…
Sounds like a fair characterization then? Trying to dictate or restrict the (domestic) military uses of a product is literally an adversarial position to the national military interest.
The world needs better economic policy and regulation so non Chinese ODMs can compete on price/quality.
"everyone" still drives -- the problem has very much not yet been solved. Could it be solved in other ways? Sure, but it hasn't. Why it hasn't is an interesting question but that's out of scope.
The difficulty in getting to an agreement on what "responsible" means, and on how a "failure" should be handled means that said experiment will never occur. Nothing is ever safe enough and no failure is acceptable -- so…
Carbon fiber and 3d printed titanium is probably where I'd start for materials to design a high end vacuum to be light/strong/durable. Injected molded magnesium alloy would also be a candidate if production qty was high…
Well if we got enough people together it would be pretty cheap, maybe 15 or 20 bucks or so with inflation. And we could fill the movie upfront, and create some previews and launch an advertising campaign -- that'd…
From a consumer POV it is -- even if only read as 'not under-engineered'. In an over engineered thing margin is left on the table which the consumer gets to take advantage of. Noting that in the real world items are…
"Stand to the right on an escalator" "Put trash in a trashcan and not on the ground" That wasn't complicated. And took 30seconds. Are there a lot of rules? Of course. Is knowing them all in advance possible? Of course…
What qualifies as good manners varies from situation to situation, but the concept of acting with good manners is hardly complicated (conform to the expected behavior of the situation). Enforcment is a matter of…
There was just an outbreak at Taco Bell - should we fine Yum! Brands out of existence. liquidate their assets and imprison the executives, like some people elsewhere in the discussion seem to be advocating for? Should…
How are Tech companies fighting public transit? At least in these parts a relatively high fraction of their employees commute by (private) bus. I can only presume that Tech companies would prefer the government provide…
This is America, anything you do pisses people off[0]. The problem is that the rest of us listen to them because it is easier to understand one person's complaint than the distributed pain of electricity being a penny…
You seem to be missing the underlying reason(s) why tech nerds are, well, tech nerds. 0dd to be angry about tech nerds being tech nerdy about things.
When the government proscribes discretionary permitting to those items you mentioned corruption and scarcity follow. It is exorbitantly expensive and difficult to build a house, a powerplant, or a mine in this country.…
Cooling demand is only fractional with respect to the load: cooling 1MW of heat will only cost a few 10's to low 100's of kW, depending on the specifics. 10-20% overhead on cooling is probably a close enough estimate…
>This idea that Americans are genetically pre-ordained to be fat seems like fanciful thinking. The idea that it being genetic or not should matter is odd? Who cares why people are fat? They inarguably are fat and will…
Nonsense, one not just as easily say they are overweight because they aren't taking enough GLP-1 agonists. A patient with scurvy is proscribed vitamin C - they might even need to take it for the rest of their lives to…
