I am going to have to borrow this comment.

Will China side with Russia or the US?

China will use this opportunity to take back Taiwan. The US cannot fight two wars vs Russia and China.

China knows that if they let Russia be defeated, then they are next.

I agree with peepeepoopoo

This is a bit embarassing, but that was actually my balloon. Sorry guys

Movie should have been named CATTAGA

Yes. As long as it works. Insurance should be cheaper as well. And if something happens to it, I won't feel too bad about it.

> When you buy a car, what is your first filter to narrow the market?

Price

> It means no private ownership of the means of production, which another can of worms.

Coincidentally, worms are an excellent source of protein in this communist, Marxist society. By eating worms instead of beef, it will also help to stop climate change by eliminating the greenhouse gases from cows, thus saving the planet. You will eat ze bugs!

If you want your children to be free, then the solution is to eliminate direct taxation. "No taxation without representation" was one of the slogans of the American Revolution.

The problem is taxation. A digital currency allows the government to tax everything you do. Government will simply confiscate any digital currency that competes with theirs.

Ok, so Jordan got lucky a couple times to get out of the first round. Also 1990 is not the 80's. He was pretty happy to hit that shot against Cleveland in the first round though, which shows how much of a struggle it was to get out of the first round.

> He joined a horrendous team when he was drafted.

So did Isiah Thomas. But Isiah Thomas won a championship in the 80's. Jordan was not someone Isiah worried about, his competition was Magic and Bird. Isiah also beat North Carolina in college in his sophomore year to win the NCAA (against Worthy and Perkins, Jordan wasn't on that team)

> Also, Pistons played as a team, and then Jordan took over and ended that era.

Actually the expansion of the NBA ended that era, because the Pistons were not able to keep Mahorn. If they kept that team together, Bulls don't win in 1991. If Worthy is healthy in 1991, Bulls don't win either. If Michael Cooper stayed with the Lakers that year, Bulls definitely don't win in 1991.

> Jordan was the leader of the best team of all time. The 95-96 Bulls. Any talk about "team game" in 80s and before doesn't change that.

Every team that won in the early 80's would have beat the 95-96 Bulls EASILY. This includes the 76ers. Magic won it in his first year in the league. Bird won it in his second year. Andrew Toney is one of the most underrated players ever. Jordan didn't win until everybody else got old.

> I like ownership because that's how we handle things in the real world.

Not if you live in a communist society.

I think it would be better if there was no ownership, because everybody would be happy.

You are a fool if you think the government will allow any other cryptocurrency that they do not control.

Have you ever seen a grown man naked?

Jordan never won in the 80s against real competition. He only won after the NBA expanded and watered down the talent.

Jordan might be the best 1-on-5 basketball player, but in the 80s and prior it was a team game and you had to play great as a team to win. In the 80s, Jordan was out in the first round.

I love using regexes whenever I need a way to parse HTML. Also whenever I parse nested parentheses, brackets, or braces.

> a) I don't understand the relevance at all to Hacker News. There are plenty of interesting things going on in the tech world that aren't making the front page.

It's possible the tech stack for the detonator was written in Rust.

> Quick note that regular money works like this, although you might not realize this if you grew up in the USA since afaik it has never happened here.

This is one of the main reasons why the US dollar has been the de facto reserve currency.

At which point they ask you where you got the money in the first place, prove where you got it from, and then make you pay taxes on that money.

I wonder if an AI would become obsessed with creating Human Intelligence (HI)

> You obviously believe the human brain is something supernatural which I do not (in fact, the past 10 years of AI boosts kind of convinced me our brain mechanism is vastly simpler than we thought

It's entirely possible that this statement applies to your brain specifically, but not necessarily to all brains

Not supporting Unicode is a feature for me. I have absolutely no use for Unicode, but it is a constant source of security vulnerabilities.

How well would ChatGPT perform if it played the final round of Jeopardy?

In theory, yes. However, I have never actually seen this mythical magnificent software written in Python.

My impression is that dumb people (for lack of a better term) find ChatGPT useful, while smart people (again, for lack of a better term) don't.

It's kind of like how a jazz musician doesn't like for example Ed Sheeran, but the average person does.

Yes, it goes without saying that Lisp and mold go hand in hand. I find that Lisp is very organic, kind of like fungus.

To be fair, the unvaxxed are superior to the vaxxed in many ways.

I'd say back then it was just an information superhighway.
