You are thinking in the realm of theory. None of that works in the realm of reality. Creating a fake ID = super illegal. Credit cards: prepaid can be detected and blocked, same as …

This works. And I do it. Too many unhinged people out there. Here in the US, I've found things in restaurants a couple of times and pointed it to the staff. It clears the liability…

The funny thing is, the most up voted comments on this topic don't even seem to be about the FA. They are mostly just 'generic advertising is bad comment/anecdote related to the ti…

Having read the article, it seems they are concluding a causality that isn't necessarily there. The whole study is based on: there's a correlation between advertising spend per cap…

> Do you really want to spend your time writing to Congress to have them pass a law making smoking a protected class? No, but I do like writing about restricting employers ability …

I agree with healthcare insurance being changed. I will say, just because it costs them more money doesn't mean they should legally be able to act on that. Many times someone from …

You're also confusing something: that plenty of legal things are not socially tolerated. If a company came out saying 'sorry, we don't hire feminists'... they might... face consequ…

Great. Personally, I've changed my mind on some very serious topics: death penalty, addiction, government regulations, capitalism, etc. In each case, it took someone patiently goin…

I clicked through. Source material is about 200 pages. Linking to a news article is one thing. Linking to basically a book, without so much as saying why the book is good, is anoth…

There's over 100 pages of material here. Why has this been submitted? What's interesting in it? These type of submissions attract the worst commentators; people who will talk about…

Satire definition: "the use of humor, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule to expose and criticize people's stupidity or vices, particularly in the context of contemporary politics and…

Good satire is entertaining. It does not help build bridges of communication between people who think differently. That's why I think it's looked down upon here. You are right on t…

It has to do with the concept of government transparency. In the US, from what I understand, the founders of the country feared secret courts issuing secret sentences for secret re…

I didn't read it. But for some of us, silly inane comments that don't add to the conversation can detract from it. If that's what you are looking for, may I suggest reddit? On ther…

The FA we are talking about is related to the completion of the construction of the first Fusion reactor by the end of this year. Also, fusion has only really been seriously consid…

I said the greater freedom in America helped it win the cold war. Of course it is more nuanced than that. But that can literally be applied to everything and anything ever said - i…

Yeah, that's not a concrete example of the SPECIFIC cutting edge area of AI that china dominates development of. At least I couldn't find it. I gave one for the US. I've yet to rec…

If ... if ... if ... might 3 ifs and one might. Let's see: If my grandmother was male and if she was catholic, she might be the pope. I only had to use two ifs to get to that one. …

Because it hasn't historically worked that way. This isn't a first to market huge advantage. Developing the plants is slow (many years) and the lag between super powers in cracking…

Wind and solar don't deal with peak energy use. See Germany vs France as an example.

I'm curious, when you say AI, what do you mean? To me AI is machine learning. And the US is leading in that area, the forefront of which seems to be self driving technology. Are th…

I hope they succeed. We desperately need to adopt nuclear energy world wide. The success of such a project would pressure western governments into adopting the technology to stay c…

I think furthermore, not only is it fearmongering, it's actually wrong. What the article calls AI is just machine learning. And America leads the way on this when it comes to cutti…
