I’ve never understood this infinite loop thinking. Why is it meaning to create new people who in turn will have to create new people to derive meaning for themselves?

Can’t you say this for every activity that humans undertake? As a cleaner, you have a very clear purpose: to clean toilets so that you can make money to provide for your family. Pe…

Did you feel like this before having kids as well? I am vehemently against the concept of getting kids (that is, when it comes to myself; you do you) and sometimes hear people say …

Exactly this. I’m of the option that you have to spend at least a couple of hours in deep conversation with most people in order to even think about calling them an asshole, despit…

Musk has contributed towards a more sustainable future with electric cars, fueled the dream of being an interplanetary species with reusable rockets, and defended free speech in th…

What point does it defeat and why? I’m assuming that you’re talking about evolution here, where having your own kids rather than taking care of someone else’s have been adaptive, b…

I have a better solution: Just lie. Nobody is going to conduct a deep investigation. > Oh yeah, for who? Microsoft.

It does? What happens if you don’t show up for a month? Or just keep it open once a week? As long as you remember to clear out the fridge every now and then, you should be fine :)

When saying “it’s profitable to lay someone off”, isn’t it implied that it’s profitable in a long-term perspective? Otherwise, it would according to the definition to be profitable…

God dammit! I thought Valve had released a stationary computer. I was ready to open my wallet even before clicking the link ;(

If you feel like this, you shouldn’t take a job that can’t guarantee in writing that they will keep you for X number of years. If you took a calculated risk and took the job anyway…

Those things are nice, but individually they each only have an expected value of maybe a couple of extra years of living time. Contrast that to curing ageing that would put that nu…

So the solution is to have the equivalent of a mass genocide in old people? I would much, much, much rather be alive in a fucked up world than dead in a nice world.

Most people writing in this comment section at the time of writing didn't have all the facts. It would have been much better if they held off commenting until today when we know mu…

That's great that it was clearified. _Now_ we can actually have a discussion about it rather than reacting based on assumptions and guesses, which was taking place when I wrote my …

Did I express an opition on Elon Musik? I was just urging people to wait for the facts before getting all hyped up. Is that too much to ask for? If all the news here would be poste…

Everybody here seems to be jumping to conclusions immediately, which frankly seems intellectually dishonest. Take a breath, wait for a while, see if the ban stands (or if it was so…

But you don’t know what happened in this instance. Wait for a while to see if the van stands and/or Twitter makes a statement regarding this. As of now, it just seems that everybod…

Who said it was a business decision on his part? If Elon Musk just tried to make money, do you think this is the way he would behave?

It might have lost short-term gamblers a lot of money, yes. But if you lose money through gambling, the only person you should blame is yourself. If you’re an investor who’s in it …

This doesn't seem right. Are you proposing that humans would be erradicted from climate changes? How would that happen?

> He failed at Full Self Driving His time plan might have failed, but that doesn’t mean that full self driving has failed. That’s like if I said: “I’m going to make 10 million doll…

That’s a really strange definition of “scam”. I would simply define a scam as something where you’re promised to receive something (a certain token, a token that is backed up by so…

Yes, when you add a token manually, you’re warned that anyone can add a token and that you should exercise caution.
