Which isn't ideal, but easily better than the pentagon that has literally never passed a full audit since they started auditing them in 2018. I'm a huge fan of musk's company's, but I don't want my public tax dollar

copy-left is referred to as open source and some even claim it's _more_ open source, but thanks for the information, I wasn't aware of the that detail. edit: oh it's not copyleft, but specifically quid pro quo so tesla gives

you hate the company or the product? How does someone hate a company the open sourced all of their patents which resulted in creating a ton of competition in a previously dominated market?

I just don't believe this, not because I have hard data, but it just doesn't make any sense. Sure, the central banks will do everything they can to ignite the economy and everyone will be generally working their hardest to recover

people don't demand wealth equality after a war, they just create massive inflation during the war and solve it by taking everyone's savings after the war...half the countries in europe post ww2 did something akin to replacing the

being unlawful is a vital tool for people to keep tyranny in check, I would hope that most people are incredibly strong supporters of lawlessness when the laws are wrong. To give an extreme example, I imagine you supported the hiding of jew

Ironically, it's often attributed to religion that they claim settled truths that can't be proven.

There's no such thing as "settled science". You can not prove that any scientific consensus has no flaws in the same way you can't prove the absence of bugs in any software. It's unproductive to treat science as an

Can we give this fear-mongering a rest? This is his second term, he didn't topple democracy in his first term and everyone made the same arguments back then. If anything the democrats were the party to get rid of some of their democrat

Seems like the news headlines should read "President makes a mistake that benefits crypto grifters, but luckily for the grifters the only blame seems to be attributed to the president because of a single tweet." I imagine taking t

yeah, that's a reasonable take for sure, but probably worthy of a call out that there are a lot of metrics that go into defining freedom.

Every job in the world is discriminatory if you take the less potent definition of the word. That's why we have job interviews, to explicitly discriminate. I presume you mean "discriminate in a bad way" but given the context

Australians, for example, don't want guns relative to Americans. It's not hard to ban things people don't want. Prior to 1996 gun laws in Australia, home ownership was like 15%. In the US it's been as high as 45% in rec

If you think proper gun laws would keep guns away from evil people in the US, please explain to me why the war against illegal drugs in the US has been losing since the day it started. Sure, some places in the world can successfully limit g

it's interesting to me how easily you can fact check the statement: > Everyone has a gun on their person with no licensing requirements. Yet at the NRA conference they ban guns. yet, you claim that it's the late night TV that d

To play devil's advocate: That's quite the claim and a bit misleading. Successful businesses have been firing customers forever. I think they intend on insulting users they want to fire. I don't fully disagree with you, but I

Ethics aren't objective anyway, so it's not useful to rely on them. The US prides itself on being a melting pot full of diverse entrepreneurs. Diversity means different sets of ethics, sometimes varying greatly. I'm hopeful

I think it's far more fair to say that developers have agreed to let them use their data (that they will use to reduce dev jobs) in exchange for a service that can almost entirely be easily migrated elsewhere. If you think MS using git

I think you're over-representing just how well opinion surveys can represent the actual will of the people. To put this in a less politicized analogy, everyone will tell you they want to be rich, but how many people are willing to make

As far as marketing goes, I'm not so sure that bankers hold more public trust than techies. It's basically every day a big bank is getting fined as the "cost of doing business" and often for things like laundering money

I would say it's most people. Just look at how many genuine comments (of course I've seen non-genuine comments as well) getting downvoted here. There are far too many people who deem it unacceptable to state certain opinions and I

I think you may be romanticizing the past a bit here. I got a Nintendo when it came out too and I never did any of the things you've done. You may have just imagined everyone was behaving in the same way you were, when it's proba
