I would absolutely support that position if it were compatible with observable reality. My family and school failed to stop me getting my hands on booze, fags, drugs, and porn. Teenagers are fundamentally not controllable. The Amish and the

I've spent a hot minute trying to summarise Mat Duggan and failing, so please forgive a link drop in service of not botching the cookie banner argument: https://matduggan.com/you-know-gdpr-is-good-based-on-who-hat... I

The idea that "stop the trolley" or "slay the dragon" is cost-free is a wish. You've merely added a third horn to the dilemma. "Someone brave attempts to jump onto the moving trolley, risking their own neck&quo

I think you're optimistic about the overlap between "people who tit about with guns" and "people who absorb education". I dread the outcome of practical safety lessons because, the moment you give a classroom guns,

I agree that renewable with storage is cheaper of you price in destruction of habitable zones of the planet. Most people don't, and the dollar cost of the storage is a problem over fossil.

Optimal judgement is worth a premium... in some cases. In other cases, it's sufficient to merely keep trundling. Numerically more companies are boring than exciting. MBAs are just components, and the cost of that component just went do

That rhymes with the reasons why AI can't replace engineers. VCs likely won't demand that you be replaced with a claude subscription. But shareholders might wonder why they should approve a fat package for a meatbag. Private equit

I do family tech support. Hardware refresh is driven by facebook adware js knobbery. Proof-of-work bot countermeasures, too, although i don't really resent that. If you run noscript then yeah, why not keep rocking your pentium.

I try to buy good hardware for practical reasons. I insist on repairability for emotional reasons around ownership and independence. You do not have to value the same things as me, of course.

My buddy was driven out of Lubbock on threat of violence because he was wearing his burning man gear of black trousers, black coat, and black top hat. No satanic imagery. He is both an atheist and British, so they were accidentally correct.

I'll add the category of people with the arrogance to believe that, after 900 previous ventures had all their coin stolen, they'll be the ones to write a secure exchange that can't be hacked.

I think it's happening everywhere, even in places with strong worker protection laws. Applicants aren't workers, and regulation is anyway laggy.

Broadly, by reasoning from general principles, and applying a confidence level. I suppose Uberzi has a confidence level in their claim, but it's tedious to hedge every damn thing.

Cybersecurity and KAC are not tractable to legislation because the attackers are already breaking the rules. AI labs are broadly within the law and would like to not become criminal organisations, because money laundering is expensive.

I'm emotionally aligned with you, but the dehumanisation is the default state (e.g. the able are standing and the wheelchair user is below eye level), and all accommodations are a result of society dedicating resources to moving the ne

Because the effect of the technological measures is an arms race; presumably, universally so. It's a net negative. The article captures the principle in a nutshell.

I directionally agree, but i suspect your 95th-percentile anchoring is wildly optimistic. Embarrassing admission: I'm probably much closer to the middle of the open-mindedness chart than i pretend. (I wish i was Bertrand Russell.) Indi

Welcome to HN. This comment is so unwelcome here it's ridiculous. Before you barge in, have the courtesy to synchronise with the ethos. If you are a sockpuppet account, then why do you feel the need? If you want to insult people, you c

No, that's not present in my comment, or in my value system. It is not the specifics of your beliefs, or my attitude to them, that has earned my scorn. I could have guessed your beliefs... but i didn't. I used "laissez faire&
