Those are political outcomes. They're the result of deliberate choices by people and enacted by policies.

Slavery didn't ended in Rome or Europe because of Christianization. Some 5%-25% of inhabitants surveyed during the Domesday Book census of 1086 were slaves in the thoroughly Christianized British Isles. It took a Pope to mostly end Ch

Liberty is freedom with responsibilty, not free from responsibility. There's definitely a middle ground between "You can only license one house from Great Society, comrade" and letting America become a rent-extraction exerci

You're comparing a democratic government's lawful actions to your silly demands on the internet?

Ok but I have to fear that, what's the purpose for different privileges? My info is publicly available.

Perhaps it was both tongue-in-cheek and not. But if they're not doing anything "wrong" then what is there to fear? Nothing. What will really happen is that we find out that there are millions of LLCs owned by a few corporate

If they have nothing to hide they have nothing to fear. I would take the hypothetical fear and pushback by these "types" as a strong positive signal that this is an effort that is vitally worth doing for society.

You can but the reason it sticks with Musk is that he is a con-artist and engages in con-artistry, the most important indicator.

It's even worse that LLMs don't have a concept of lying: they are asked to generate text and they generate it, even if it means making things up or 'lying' as we generally call it. The real issue is the human people tre

The economy of Wall Streeters is divorced from many natural economies these days. Perhaps they have already rendered their desires irrelevant and countervailing to mine and those of others.

Everything is a risk, at least in terms of probabilities. Is it a reasonable risk is a more interesting and open-ended consideration. A solo day-hike is a reasonable risk in my estimation, but not when you add the issue of inclement weath

>US trademark law demands that one vigorously defend their trademark, lest they lose it I don't mean this as a criticism of your post and it's more of a launchpad for my own, but this always comes up as "the defense"

This all seems like one big sunk cost fallacy in post form.

My Aunt was killed by the flu. She had a pre-existing unknown heart-condition and despite her healthy lifestyle the flu weakened her heart enough that she needed a heart-transplant in her early 20s. She died at age 27. I tell this story w

Definitely an urban legend. Heat and narcotic substances do not mix very well beyond the barest threshold of baking temperatures.

Oxo is one of the finest examples of mass-market consumer industrial design and quality I've ever seen. Every product of theirs I've purchased has been exemplary, even years later after heavy and extensive use.

Do you think I used the terminology "24/7 party house" to cover properties that are not a nuisance. You're on the list of unserious people as well now.

You can't even imagine buying a house in a neighborhood in your city and then having some dentist from Ohio buying the house next to yours and operating it as a 24/7 party house and you have the audacity to question the morality o

They decided to forgo LIDAR specifically though, it's not that it hasn't been out very long and they haven't adopted it yet. Other car makers have been using it for a while, just as long as Tesla could have if they truly wan

Cheating might be tolerated more in the US if the student is wealthy, which might be a US student or far more likely the scion of some family in a foreign country. It has not been tolerated anywhere I've attended though.

I'd only roast you for misunderstanding the "problem" to be solved. It's not that the societies are "low-trust" but that the cost of being caught for cheating is that you continue with the life already availabl

At least in crop agriculture the work tends to be concentrated during planting and harvest so there is a big period in between with nothing to do for most of the people involved in planting and harvest. The labor for at least some of the E
