A much better solution is something like the hire act.

Something like the hire act bill is the only solution: https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/senate-bill/297...

What if we learned that brains reduce to the same basic mechanics?

Allergy shots work very well.

Too bad they are in EU which seems to not value free speech legally or culturally.

That is in large part to our nightmare immigration system.

It has nothing to do with what trump wants. If public opinion changes he will be voted out it’s that simple.

“Manufacturing consent” should be required reading for all Americans.

These economists expressed the correct viewpoint that benefits the capital class so their viewpoint and credentials are validated and legitimized. “Right-thinking economists” are promoted while economists that have views that dont benefit multinational corporate interest are pushed to the fringes.

This is extremely well documented and when you see it spelled out in the book you will not be able to see the world in the same way.

Lex Friedman was nobody until he published a study that self driving cars were safe while Elon musk was in the midst of legal battles for his cars killing people. Lex Friedman is a “right thinking” academic so next thing you know Elon musk is talking on his podcast calling Lex “the smartest person in the world” despite having almost no credentials.

Maybe it is? The US has ample land and money to build out clean energy, there’s zero excuse not to be adding capacity.

It’s literally the governments job to build out the infrastructure for society to thrive. Don’t blame technology for getting better, blame the government for not doing their job.

I feel like the solution is for the state owned power company to add capacity to scoop up the additional revenue. This is quite literally an opportunity to advance society while generating more tax revenue and *improving* public services.

Blaming tech for using power is regressive, the real issue here is bad energy policy.

Hep C is already curable with antivirals, wouldn’t we notice this with existing treatments if this theory was correct?

I think you are confusing “security through obscurity” and “defense in depth”.

You can add layers of high quality simple systems to increase your overall security exponentially, think using a VPN behind TOR etc.

There’s another side to this. They place a large burden on the people taking care of them. Many parents also report that they regret conceiving children with Down syndrome.

Your system of drawing lines and forming “tribes” within social classes reminds me of the caste system.

> It would be strange if our brains had "one weird trick" to perform a lot better with no downsides, since if it existed evolution should've found it

It would not be strange at all. We are constantly evolving and so is our environment. This argument is very similar to the "efficient market fallacy", if the market was perfectly efficient there would be no opportunity to create value, but in reality it is highly imperfect.

Iran is the aggressor here. Iran has been funding and arming multiple proxies to fire missles into Israel for the past 50 years

Iran has been attacking Israel for 50 years through proxies. I don’t think it’s a clear “attack vs defense”. Also now is the time to deal with Iran and restore a sane government before they have a chance to add nukes to the equation.

Selling negative convenience very succinctly describes the issue.

You already have to spend time researching airlines, buying tickets in advance, etc. but now in addition to that there is a completely contrived layer of bullshit I need to know about.

You can extend this concept even further and imagine literal series of hoops that you must jump through to earn “cash back” on your ticket at the end of the flight.

Same with points systems. Why am I forced to understand your made up currency and status system to get the full value of my money.

There might be some benefits to price discrimination (which is in effect what a point systems achieves) but the collective time wasted dicking around with points isn’t worth it. Make all point systems illegal.

Can you explain why this is associated with fascism specifically, and not any other form of government which has high levels of oligarchical corruption (like North Korea, Soviet Russia, etc).

I am not saying you’re wrong, but please educate me why is this form of corruption/cronyism is unique to fascism?

> The FAA later allowed lower-ranking tower employees such as supervisors to make that call so long as they considered factors like traffic levels, weather and VIP moments.

What is a VIP moment? Does this mean they care more about safety when there is a VIP flying?

> (talking about gates and Epstein) …This is extremely significant because it substantially increases the amount of specific, known meetings between the two, and shows that they were meeting on specific dates late into 2014—after, in fact, the relationship had caused conflict between Gates and his then wife, Melinda French Gates, which would ultimately end in their divorce.

Agreed. If you take it to the extreme, money is a tool that reduces your life-energy to a numerical value which is anti-human.

I agree but condemning government budget cuts because USAID seems reactionary. I think the spirit of cutting budget is still overall popular, and is impossible to do painlessly.

Also in the context of federal budget, 1% is a huge number since most of the budget (like social security, interest payments, and Medicaid) is non negotiable.

~30B a year (USAID budget) is enough to make improvements domestically, e.g free college for 10% of students, transportation, housing, etc.

Even the various single payer models in Europe and asia still have insurance companies.

The difference is that in these systems the government has some stake — whether it’s providing the public insurance fund, or owning the company itself — so that the government is financially incentivized to reduce costs.

In the US case everything is private so all parties are incentivized to increase costs as much as possible.

We really should to copy the Bismarck model. Public owned “public fund”, heavily regulated private insurance and care.

The way he rolls his eyes and facial expression suggests MDMA or possibly adderall.

AI = aggressively offshoring jobs as fast as humanly possible.

This theory feels like it’s making tons of assumptions and leans heavily on semantics.

In a factory you have many components operating near or at capacity. In a high growth environment you want all of your components working at capacity to explore the problem space and optimize.

Almost all GCP services have quota by default that you need to manually increase.
