I think journalism has an honesty problem. Too much lying and manipulation has destroyed all trust. The most egregious offenders never allow reader comments or discussion underneath the story. This would do a lot to restore trust. The probl

Plenty of us non-billionaires are glad PG wrote this article, because a lot a success-striving people are pretty grossed out by the lie that the only way to be a self made billionaire is to do something 'bad'.

If I had a dollar for everytime someone told me they have an advanced physics degree and can unequivocally gaurantee me that it will never be physically feasible to cool GPU's in space.... How soon those people have disappeared!

It works very well on a cloud hosted Ubuntu server. You only put things there within lobster reach that would not destroy you if leaked. You decide what to put with the lobster.

Surely what people want to "use it for" is completely orthogonal to the science itself? Let the science science, and policy makers make policy. I think the problem comes when we want scientists to make policy recommendations. I th

This really sucks, I hope Apple sorts it out, I wonder what one can do to put pressure on Apple - I suspect you may need a lawyer to write them in order to get your issue escalated. I don't like that people just shrug and say this is h

The real question is whether genetics is a substantial or a negligible influence on intelligence (or proxy measures like IQ). If genetics is less than 5 percent I would consider that something worth ignoring. If it is 10 percent it is subst

If someone makes a linux laptop that is as good as the a bleeding edge apple macbook air, it is shut-up&take-my-money. But it is hard to imagine a company spending the time to smooth a linux config on their hardware config and make sure

I also want it. I dislike this idea "make it illegal I don't want other people to have the freedom to do something I dislike". Of you don't like unupgradable products, then don't buy them. I like upgradability - app

Can someone from the field provide examples of specific drugs or break through therapies that are approved for human use that we would not have had without breakthroughs in protein folding compute?

Same! I main macos, love the hardware, but I keep a very close eye on Linux (asahi, omarchy etc) in case Apple gets any more toxic, and I am forced to jump ship to something else, and that something else won't be windoze. The last stra

Not all rich guys are part of the ORGANIZED RICH. Some are, many/most aren't. For some rich guys whole point of being rich is to be maximally independent. Some billionaires are all kinds of weird flavor of Anarcho Capitalist (comp

"for any reason other than to cure a fatal disease" ... what about non-fatal but debilitating ? Sounds like you have a pretty absolutist view here ? What other reasonable exceptions can we imagine outside your rigid criteria ? Why

I don't see any food scarcity? A lot of innovation coming. Indoor 3D farming if needed. Bio-engineered algae bars if needed! Constant innovation at all levels. Why would food production methods collapse? Some currently productive agric

I always thought the usability/ergonomics of the Flutter framework was slightly poor, but the Dart language itself is pretty darn awesome! I also rolled my own reactivity interfaces, and made many shorthand functional wrappers for stan

For casual users there exist a huge chasm between "everything just works" and "everything works except x, y, z and those you must open seperately with Chrome".... I think many people will rather just use the 1 thing that

I don't think civilization ends if temperatures rise dramatically. A lot of existing agricultural land gets destroyed, but some currently unusable/unproductive areas that are too cold become viable. So the regions will shift. Pain

American Citizens have the right to offensive free speech in America, a foreigner wishing to obtain a VISA does not and would be an idiot to think he should be allowed to visit if he was posting things like "f... ck America"

You're right, depending on what someone's position is. If someone full on HATES capitalism, then I don't think it's a strawman. But if someone is an average mixed economy guy, sure then it would be an unfair strawman I a

Well if you are very against capitalism, that would be pretty bad, but ONLY if you are then also a hypocrite working for amounts of money that would make anyone not in the top 20 percent of the world population's eyes pop; Deduct extra

Calling people racist is cheap. I literally just explained how people can have legitimate concerns about illegal migrants entering in large numbers, concerns which are COMPLETELY UNRELATED to skin color, and all you do is call these things
