The plainly explained point is that democratic backsliding is gradual. The road to 20 million dead isn't someone suddenly declaring "we are the baddies", then a week later they start digging the mass graves. If someone…
This is just tone policing, the comment doesn't contradict those guidelines. I should know them, I do break them all the time!
As someone from a country that's been the target of things like the VoA and much much worse. Ukraine isn't Iraq, this wasn't some dubious justification to preemptively attack. The gringo spooks were sure it wasn't gonna…
> Because what argument do they have against being tortured if they don't believe in human rights? Obviously, it's against the most basic principles that the humanist worldview of human rights is based on. I mean, you…
Please don't make strawmen.

The monetary cost stings, but the calculus they are talking about really is about quality of life / expectancy. You are a relatively healthy 85 year old but you are still an octogenarian, you get a gnarly stroke. Do you…
I've always felt that the moral panic about food perks in Tech was weird. That's not free, it's part of your salary. Sure, you can't buy index funds with Pineapples but at the end of the day it's still remuneration. The…
The BRI is just the Temu version of the IMF with Chinese industry upsell.
Honestly I'm more worried about the US backsliding to full authoritarianism with the usually "spicier" foreign policy. The more politically insular China from the current regime seems stable enough. Xi could have even…
"HN discovers the concept of taxes, gets mad about it." With that kind of argument sewers are also clearly unconscionable, after all they cost money you didn't donate. In that hyperbolic case where the EU throws 60% of…
The totally real leaked email from a dastardly fraud-physicist that 100% confirms Hossenfelders's worldview? From a guy who supposedly wishes to be discreet, but also sends an email to a Youtuber with 1.6M subscribers…

This is simply your gut feeling, smaller (and cheap) supermarkets are common basically everywhere outside North America. Chile which is in no way rich or some urbanist paradise is a specific counterexample, prices only…
Oh! Of course, but the I think the word that OP used then should've been influential. Preeminent is more an adjective of quality I believe, but it might be my ESL showing.
This attitude is exactly the problem. The US can barely build civilian ships and BYD makes better cars than most of Detroid. China seems awfully big on the rearview mirror and people are putting their heads on the sand.
This is bait, but someone with a pattern of behavior or on various people's shitlist being fired for this as the excuse doesn't seem impossible.
Yes, but AI safety in this context is the worry of the saw going full Christine on you, not bad boring safety design. LLM aided spam, spear-phising and automated bot farms are the actual risk. Beyond that are the…
Yes, but step 2 is being able to overcome that slight problem with mind kung-fu. So the result is the same.
'Once upon a time in San Francisco', perhaps?
> how the preeminent ethics movement of our times seems to spawn the most detestable behavior Excuse me if my sarcasm detector is faulty, but I wouldn't describe the rationality sphere like that. It's a niche group with…
You say that government intervention is not always a win. Sure, totally true, also it isn't always Sunday. I'm was asking for concrete arguments or reasons, vaguely gesturing at regulation having drawbacks isn't one.…
I imagine that their point is not that they are the same, but that the attitudes correlate. The absolutist view about vigilantism, where they see no possible place for violence in any situation, could translate to the…
The writers of the beigeness might deny it, but assassination can work. Shinto Abe is just the most recent example. The "win condition" of the immediate destruction of the rentseeking healthcare-insurance complex in the…
