As someone who enjoys riding their own bike, but uses their car for needs that cannot be met by bikes, I don't think this is just grievance. You can be sour about reality. SF in particular can be a pain in the butt. There are scearios

Can you expound a bit? Opportunity for what, and who? Are they the same Sams and Elons who talk up "abundance"?

That sounds sideways or wrong. Poor people don't necessarily have debts. They don't have income or assets. Indebted people like inflation because their debt is worth less _if they can find increased income to pay it down_. Inflati

The "abundance means money is meaningless" is obviously complete BS. If that was true, AI would not be seen as a path to vast individual or institutional wealth.

Growing up in the environment we've made for them, I'm hardly surprised. But, let's see more peer-reviewed work on this.

I've spent my years trying to think productively. You've got one good idea, I'm confident that there are many more.

You can't rule out some accounting fraud.

Your take is a little sour, but I agree with the direction. If your children (or nephews/nieces) matter as your bodily protection and old-age assistance, you want to raise grownups. Children are indeed a burden, they're cute and f

There's an archive link in the comments now, but the whole thing seems petty and boring.

Exporting luxury goods is fine for socialists. They are clear about who's in the in-group and who isn't, the out-group must fend for themselves. Socialism isn't against private property, it's about production means and t

Love the idea of earthmoving on an uncleaned Superfund site.

It's a little easier to think about when you ignore people's addictive tendencies in the large. It also takes a blind spot re the forces that will influence events based on betting. I don't care about point-shaving in college

There was evidence. Just not pointing to him.

It would take anyone reviewing the evidence noticing the double underscore. Part of what makes this infuriating is that it's the type of error we as individuals are prone to making or not noticing on some days. As the defendant, I&#x27

That chain of events assumes that course correction loops don't occur. Producers won't overproduce for more than a fiscal quarter, maybe two. It'll be messier than that. And investors will pull their money out of anything unp

That's the argument, but everyone who runs a factory knows not to run it so hard that profits dip. No one will allow their profits to dip. As costs for some tbings decline, prices might decline or might not, depends on the mood. Eventu

Which he isn't. I will bet $1000 against him, choosing 10 years as my number for "few". Gains accrue to owners, and relatively few own things. By the same token, UBI is a non-starting concept, a government choked for funds by

Leadership of the country, corresponding to many but perhaps not a majority of citizens to say nothing of inhabitants. That's all pedantic, of course. The "we" you are referring to isn't the "we" pretending tho

Brand new problem, not part of prior partisan or religious divisions. Maybe other environmental issues will become non-partisan.

Which one? There are third rails aplenty when dealing with Israel. The "secret cabal running everything" runs into how obvious the political and technical-military influences are.

Probably cuts back on some of the epic waste on the consumer side. Hope that ripples to cutting down waste throughout the system. Paying for stuff that isn't consumed is by definition waste.

And, let's face it: keys give good feedback. If you fumble getting in and fumble starting, you are too drunk to drive. The right friction is good.

They want to surveil widely though. Witness Ring and Amazon. Little Brothers more than Big Brother. Beware the Ellisons, they're on record for Big Brother.

IF valid, there could be evolutionary advantage to those capable of calm and rational action in these conditions and, if they formed enough of a tribe, they could flourish.

Nothing to do with copyright, I bet. There is no SLA in transmitting info. I think the problem started in Trump I when people accepted tweets as formal public statements rather than requiring a government channel.
