Correct. Companies are not monolithic. How many people do you need to know about it, in order to hide something from the monitoring systems and management alike? 10? 2?

No, that's till present. The announcement was a year ago, when revenue spiked.

Like San Francisco?

Well, I guess I have some terrible flavor of social anxiety or something, because it often takes me half an hour or more of ugh to compose even a short reply if I'm introduced to someone, so this ends up being a huge boulder in my todo list. I suppose if people take this attitude in response the situation will simply resolve itself.

So... by that logic, risk and adventure is great, as long as the risk is not actually risky for you as an individual. Which rules out any meaningful risk whatsoever for 95% of americans.

The principle is sound but the analogy is flawed:

In this case the bucket's main contribution would be to collect the water, not carry it. If soup were indeed raining from the sky, a bowl or small cup would suffice.

Similarly, the YUGO (825kg curb weight) contains about 7.4e19 joules of energy, when converted purely.

Which comes out to 17.7 billion tons of tnt, or 1.1 million times the force unleashed on Hiroshima.

If we're being pedantic.

Perhaps names for one's negotiation of:

- scarcity of imagination and desire

- scarcity of attention and perspective

- scarcity of social context

Even in a post-singularity post-material-scarcity society, under the assumption that all direct desires are met, these tensions remain.

Sure, for now. Be aware, though, that this is not true in the steady state -- only so long as one defines their environment via social relativity.

Variable simulation speeds can universally resolve this for actors who are willing to recant social influence. cf `Uploads Economics 101`, Robin Hanson

That's a lot of significant figures for a round number...

You can optimize based on the expected rate of conversion.

Yes. They've helped us find that: no, once we have a reputation economy, we don't need the government to tell us who we can safely get in a car with.

Why not? That's clearly the point, and that's why it's relevant to this community. I suppose it should probably be in the passive voice, but that's a nit.

They're not referring to a drivers license here, which would be eminently sane. They're referring to taxi licenses, which are artificially restricted.

40-1-193. (a) No transportation referral service provider subject to this part shall contract with, utilize, or refer individuals or entities to limousine carriers or taxi services that are not properly licensed by the state or a political subdivision of this state, are not properly insured under state or local law, or which use drivers that are not properly licensed under state and local law to carry passengers for hire.

The premise of these companies is essentially that one doesn't need licensing for drivers if the system keeps a reputation history. This bill makes that explicitly illegal. The companies will no longer be able to serve that jurisdiction.

Why would the agent hate you for labeling the printer with its IP address? I'm confused.

Even still, phrasing the advice as a reference rather than a moral imperative can be productive. (Avoiding the word 'should', for example...)

This may be accurate, for the most part, at least until voice recognition passes the turing test. Depending on when that happens, it's not clear whether we'll have input devices close enough to children's brains to bypass decorated-glass entirely.

Back to torrents, anyone?

That does indeed sound like it solves the problem. Bravo, can't wait!

'productive' parsed for me as 'beneficial to the project'; OSM doesn't have to do anything. Notably, they don't have to garner any usage or mindshare.

I would LOVE to use mercurial. If the concept of a backup bundle was completely removed. When I amend a commit with git, I don't put myself 20 minutes away from recovering that pre-amend commit. If hg comes up with some way to have a flat namespace like git, (ideally with a reflog) I'll be back.

Better still would be to incorporate the expectations of people who interacted with the person; unfortunately even the conscious memories of living beings are currently rather hard to access.

You do have that option. Unfortunately, this is the best we can offer to people who have already died.
