You should research economics. That $9000 can build a house that wouldn’t have existed otherwise. Then it gets paid back. $10000 in the bank and a $9000 house.

My favorite is a notebook and pen. I tried all ways to write notes digitally and it only adds stress and friction for me. No batteries to charge, no files to backup, no bluetooth to sync.

Private banks increase money supply by lending. If 10 people deposit $1000 in a bank, it can loan $9000 to an 11th person. Now the economy has $19000 total.

That's not my claim. Republicans just took a vocal public oath of loyalty to their President in which they promised to cheat in the the election. That happened. It's on video. My claim is that you should vote for the other party.

You're not wrong, but you are muddying the waters. The sides are clear and bringing up primaries when it's too late is irrelevant. > they'll be no better than the republicans on this issue. There is no reason to think thi

> Democrats aren't by default better on this issue vs republicans so you need to be more involved than just voting in the general. The only thing that matters is Democrats gaining control of Congress and state governments. The choic

Elections have consequences. Vote democrat in November and again in 2028. When someone tells you both sides are the same tell them no, it's only Republicans that are allowing Datacenters to sidestep the law in order to poison us more e

Who would that be for? If AI comes up with problems that humans don’t understand and solves them, what does anyone gain?

I don’t know how common it is in France, but you can ferment a baguette for 3 days and it makes a big difference.

I pretty much let AI write all of my code but even Fable is still really dumb for moderately complex things. Just today I had it write a simple consumer for a message bus where the message was emitted from a different service. Messages were

I wouldn’t mind buying half of one of those for 1/4 the price.

Me too. Everyone who sees my phone loves it, and I always share a nod with my fellow mini owners. I really don’t want a huge phone and it is still more than fast enough (a 12 at that!) iPhones got Good Enough at least 6 years ago. Same with

I did add that rule and it’s helped a lot. It greps for ways it writes negative statements and does a pass to correct them. I can’t get it to stop writing them in the first place though.

I haven't been able to get a clear answer to my question about Theranos: Was what she offered obviously impossible? That's my understanding. Blood is not homogeneous so it is physically impossible to get an accurate full blood pan

Personally, since airbnb shifted from people renting their own homes to people buying homes to airbnb it has just felt gross. The last time I used it the homeowner tried to scam me into replacing his broken tv. I have to assume there are hi

Can someone clarify for me: This isn’t actually something a president can do or compel, right? There is no act I’m aware of that makes the President the Geography Czar. I picture the next Dem president (God willing), not changing it back,

> you can't be trapped in a sub-optimal situation and be rational at the same time Yes you can that’s what tragedy of the commons is. Rational means you take the choice that provides the most value for yourself. Without a cartel (ha

It sounds like the article completely mixed together two different inventions of theirs and the one you described was the much more important one.

I love learning that the “Einstein-Szilard Letter”, perhaps the most important letter written in the history of the world, was predated by the Einstein-Szilard Refrigerator. I didn’t know that they had had a long relationship before that.

How to Win Friends and Influence People. Sounds corny, but the advice is timeless and eye opening if you don't have natural knack for dealing with people. It will save you a lot of frustration. I didn't read it until 30 and I wish

I’ve been using the caveman plugin and I’ve found it effective so far. Chat output isn’t nearly as flowery. Also ponytail to cut down the cruft and effusive comments.

I've tried stuff like this, but the problem is that you don't know if it's answers are correct, and more importantly, you don't know if its questions are on base or not. Plus its too easy to go off on tangents, especiall
