debt doesn't harm you until the carrying costs become to high v profits. Just have to hit that point (if is exists, maybe growth accelerates forever if you are optimistic).

The third worldization of the USA continues at pace. Expensive reasonable enclaves for the rich, nothing for the rest.

Scalia wrote some really interesting opinions for sure. Feel like the arguments are only going to get worse :(

Hasn't this already been observed with not too stable individuals? remember some story about kid asking ai if his parents/government etcs were spying on him.

The complete failure of the brand initiative cannot be overstated.

Oh god, was working within seller central when brand registry was being spun up. Id rather not relive some of those experiences (or use them).

CTO at a successfull cybersecurity startup I worked at long ago was exempt from critical security updates. She refused to restart her computer out of fear for her Excel state.

I mean those stats arent good...

always has been

"Liberal Democracy" is such a charged word.

its pretty clear, even from the journalist's quote, that some of the things they informed her about was not done legally (classified information).

Now is overclassification a problem too, yes but that's bureaucracy.

population dynamics

Yeah I am suprised everyone thinks this is necessarily internal. Could equally be related to IL/USA incoming aggression.

I'd at least keep an open mind for a while.

Bluffing and theater are not reality and should not be confused for it.

>If might makes right, you've already accepted that the world belongs to China.

So what, you should just keep your head in the sand instead? Not that I accept that claim anyways (quitter talk).

Are they limited by medical loss ratios, or does that just inflate costs to get more profit?

There's a bunch of milestones, for me the standout one was managers starting to abuse marking tickets for large events as "secret" to stop people from reading their screwups. Someone leaked that the cause for some large AWS outage was someone oopsing some CLI command, and it seemed to trigger a pretty large shift.

hello fellow sociopath

no, taste is ability to evaluate. You can still consume trash even if you have taste.

so you're confirming that what he said is correct

works well enough for me!

paying money for a service and gambling are not totally different, especially if you more or less know your odds before entering. ./when I play blackjack (rarely) I understand I am more or less paying to play a game for enjoyment.

and everyone's favorite example of killing a democracy/republic to avoid prosecution, Julius Cesar.

you can pretty easily carry around a small form factor PC at that point. even a tower, where my LAN guys at.

By tier 1, we refer to commiesubs right?

While in Europe earlier I learned that BYD had to make hybrids for the European market since their charging infastructure isn't quite there.

Chinese and Indian kids being above is outweighed in this case by others. Look at the volume of immigrants and whatever countries they come from. The east asians are the exception not the norm.

It does. I went down a rabbit hole for this once and yes children of immigrants underperform for math and reading testing v immigrant groups. Can go dig up the .gov links assuming they didnt go away

Like with choosing to live anywhere you shouldn't be looking at state level education for your child's education. That would be stupid.

Except then religion became responsible for philosophy's return and preservation.
