My bad. It's a federal law derived from the Constitution that forbids such registries: The Firearm Owners' Protection Act of 1986.

When Kim Chen Ir's wife gets half of the NK army via divorce, I'll believe that JB is comparable to NK.

1. Why did he do that? 2. Wait. What registrations? The Constitution clearly forbids any kind of gun registries.

CCP is more like USSR v2: patched and improved. Still based on the same ideas and IIRC, Mao was inspired by Lenin. The gov control is also based on fear and cruelty. If this analogy is correct, it may be interesting to recall what crushed USSR: it was McDonalds. That's right. People were upset that on the west life is so obviously better, so they collectively and subconsciously sabotaged the gov. Offer the key people in CCP a better life and safety and they will happily dump Xi.

And thus PR strategy may work. To give this truck's toughness credibility, they need to "leak" a few videos how this electric truck easily outperforms military Hummers in Utah mountains. In addition to that, they can shoot this truck with ak47 and say that thanks to its steel frame, none of the bullets went thru, while the supposedly tough Hummers and died pickups look like a cardboard target now. After this, the cybertrucks toughness will be undisputable.

Great article. Regarding the wealth accumulation, there is an interesting parallel with black holes: a single blob of wealth absorbs other wealth at the exponential rate: dw/dt=k*w, where k is the population growth dp/dt. The same blob of wealth has a Hawking radiation that evaporates this wealth, but at a constant rate: dw/dt=-e, where e is expenses to support ones lifestyle. Big blobs of wealth have about the same rate of evaporation, but absorb surrounding wealth much faster. Add to that the constraint: the total wealth is fixed and generally grows with the population size. In practice, all the small wealth bubbles (workers) evaporate quickly and the radiation gets absorbed by the big black holes. Eventually they become too big for this planet and collide: US vs China. This boom cycle of the wealth bubbles universe is always followed by the bust cycle: a war. The big bubbles explode and firm many small bubbles, that evaporate and so on. Nothing new here. In the black holes world, the force distributing the matter is gravity. In our world of wealth bubbles, this force is called greed. It is the driving force of the boom and bust cycle. Greed is one the few fundamental imperfections of the human mind and it takes eons fir the human mind to change. The previous driving force was cruelty, and it still is in some places. The next driving force will be

First they get fired J.D. (he who must not be named, or you would get banned by the mods if you dare to) by leaking internal docs and celebrate that like a new year. Now they leak other people's calendars, get fired for that and cry for help. I don't understand who they have as their allies.

Right. And I don't get what their plan is. In academia they may leverage external support, e.g. someone outside makes generous donations to a university on monthly basis and then hints that if that wrong white male isn't fired or expelled, the donations might stop. Google can't be manipulated this way and obviously, these activists will be lucky to get any support outside their circles.

IMHO, a flat membership fee with manual verification would work better. Why do rich folks pay 200k/year for a golf club membership? Becayse they want access to a high quality crowd of their peers.

This is what you should say as an investor.

Google isn't evil. I think it's just the Google founders have finally decided to step back, because they are getting old, cash out their shares and let other investors do whatever they want.

There is an interesting idea about adtech. Instead of search being reactive, it needs to actively look for information you care about and every morning give you the top 10 most important news. Why do we go to HN every morning? Why do others go to their FB page every day? We try to find new valuable information. This is a form of addiction, but a useful one. In other words, there are users on the left, with their preferences. There are various domains of information and news on the right. The job of Google v2 is to connect the two. In fact, I'd pay 150/month for such a service because it's this valuable. Obviously, I don't really believe that Google can do this, as it's become riddled with greed and its management doesnt look further than the next quarterly profits.

If you get drivers info by hacking a DMV database, it's prison. If you got the same details by paying a few millions for FOIA requests, you're a good citizen and a model tax payer.

So is leaking PII? ToS isn't a legal contract: it's not signed by anyone and it's changed every other week without consent of users. ToS is just a formal excuse why someone's account may be suspended.
