Reminds me a bit of how everybody was cool with pirating software and media back in the day. To help the bad conscience there was a handy narrative of how the record companies were making a killing off of everybody so it was cool not to pay. But in reality it was just technically feasible. That's what enabled the behavior, not a few million Robin hoods coming together to do the right thing.

Similarly I feel creators need to make it impossible to have their work stolen for AI if possible. It will be tough though. They have half the world against them it seems.

Nijmegen!

Monkey see Monkey do though

Cars are the least interesting machines to benefit from a hydrogen economy IMO

It's quoting several researchers verbatim which gives a clear picture of the compound in question. At this point it would be a scandal if the quotes were made up or taken out of context. I don't see what is sad about people believing it. Do you go back to the source on every article you read online or in print?

Now if we also get back some drug manufacturing we might even be ready for the 21st century

So "fab" is short for microchip factory? TIL

Oh wow. That's bad.

I think i'd prefer a world where there are no landmines in Ukraine. I would even sacrifice the ability to regrow a limb of it helped us get there.

Same reasons any company open sources their software

Depends on your definition of "doing those things". He led the companies that achieved those things. Tesla's case is more complicated than SpaceX's but in both cases he was at the top in a crucial moment.

Interesting usecase. The "git bad for everything else" commenter was probably unaware of it. That said, it's not very representative of what git is mostly used for and where there comparison with fossil is least favorable.

As someone suffering from intrusive thoughts I do not look forward to a future where other people can see what I sometimes see in my head.

Damage control and intimidating researchers, it seems.

I've always been critical of the US, especially their foreign policy but if I had to make a choice I also would prefer that they be in charge rather than either of the other two. Or rather that would have been my answer before trump came along and the country entered into a state of hyperpolarization. How would I now wish for times like the G.W. Bush era where one would rightly get upset about things like the Iraqi war, US policing the world etc. As Europeans we were rarely a target of these things. The stakes were ultimately low for us. But now it's not clear anymore what will become of that country. And if the US ends up collapsing under its own weight, then I don't think we're headed for a bright future. And the stakes have never been higher.

Norway's suicide rate is average. That's Finland you're thinking of.

I'm content with a tiny service called posteo from Berlin, Germany. It's a euro per month and it offers email and calendars with a lot of focus on security.

Not every intelligent life form out there will have the same homicidal baggage in their genes as the homo sapiens

In Homo Deus, Harari mentions research by DARPA (?) on a focus-enhancing helmet. This was reported some years ago already and the journalist who wrote the piece had experienced the effects first have in a sniping simulation. So to some degree the tech is already here.

Ah yes, the Australian solution to every pest problem.

Worked out great! /s

They also work well for dumping used glass bottles etc. since they reduce the noise you hear when the class breaks inside

And what was the thing you thought you were buying?

I would pay Google 30 just for search+maps of it came without tracking and ads

Because for this the stores and consumers gave do change their ways. Biodegradable plastic alternatives are compatible with the present convenience-centered consumer behavior.

Let me guess, he got concerned about job security when all those monotheistic religions and their high horse morals developed and so he decided to actively prop up the supply side?

It's not weird that you like the taste of meat. But being unable to empathize with the sentient animals that we kill so thoughtlessly, and at such a scale, even when you're confronted with that fact in this poetic yet concise fashion is more than a little callous.

Might be a trade-off between propping up trust in the bonds market and safeguarding trust in democracy.

Depends what you spend the money on. If it's infrastructure then it's likely a wise investment.

The last sentence is crucial and probably what will get SBF in trouble.

Sorry to hear. It sucks being injured and taking out of the routine. Can you at least take walks?
