Also true

The fact that the President when asked does not seem to know who he pardoned seems sus…

Nonsense. Most people Don’t understand most technologies. We learn and adapt.

If the Act was named properly would it garner so much popular support?

Imaginary wealth tax Unrealized capital gains tax Stocks now houses later tax

Economics is not zero-sum so the ratio is irrelevant

No. Musk’s money affects me no more than yours or anyone else’s. Creating something that people want is giving back to society, in a mutually-beneficial way.

“The Admin” this and “The Admin” that. The Admin giveth, The Admin taketh away. Orwell in King James English?

"This is not an effective way to influence corporations to act in the public interest. In fact, it makes corporate influence on the government more likely."

Bingo. The US government should not own stocks, and AFAIK has no authority to demand or buy stocks. A Sovereign Fund can be built via taxes, which the US government is actually authorized to do.

"Hundreds of Kenyans have marched through the streets to oppose a quarantine facility that would be reserved exclusively for American patients."

"The police have used tear gas to disperse crowds, and at least three protesters have been shot and killed"

"Others have asked why Kenya, which has never recorded an Ebola case, would agree to host the unit when U.S. government officials say Kenyans would be excluded from receiving treatment there."

No

Welcome to micromanagement

Very cool sim!

“MAHA supporters had been 'treated by MAGA like a convenient group of useful idiots ever since Kennedy joined Trump on the campaign trail.'”

They’re all useful idiots, surprise!

Looks great but on mobile the popover covers a quarter of the screen, obscuring the sun

How about a pale blue dot on a black background

The USA consumes 2 trillion gallons per year in lawn irrigation so what?

“There were already talks about the US and Rusisa splitting up the Donbas resources as part of a deal”

The USA is not, nor should it be, an Imperialist conquerer, nor should we collaborate with one.

“Bold moves” my ass

Cargo yes, that would make sense - in peacetime with rational allies

We have and are none of these at present

I’m happy you shared that moment with us all, so brave!

Why? Not a great place to live or drive, do we do significant trade or will it make the odd invasions easier?

If they were peacefully handing out copies of an article, the conference runners should get their free-speech suppressing asses sued off

Thanks for this - holography as a theory strikes me as an absurd math trick - if a 3d world is really just a 2d surface, would it not logically follow that said 2d surface is itself merely a projection from 1d, and perhaps that is a projection from 0d?

Obviously I don’t understand this, and probably won’t but what limits the dimension reduction?

Going the other way, would our 3d space not be the “surface” of a deeper 4d space, and that of a 5d space, etc?

Well, I read it, but none of it made any sense, so ok gravity is “magic”

“These new protocols ensure that scientists maintain the highest standards of evidence before making announcements to the world.”

That would be great but apparently it doesn’t work like that here (except Alaska)

It’s kinda worse than that - an Orthodox Jew would, by long-standing traditions and teachings, not be expected to touch pork. The same beliefs that make this person object to using AI could easily apply to any cloud-scale service dependent on data centers.

Like say… Google search (the old non-AI one)
