Simple desktop that works and isn't crazy: Linux mint with cinnamon desktop. Just use it, I promise you won't regret it. I don't use that, because I don't need the simplest thing, …

If he could get the small kinks out of the design and modify it for a manufacturing process these things would sell like hot cakes. They'd be expensive but worth it to a lot of peo…

It's not the christian right. It's everybody. I don't know a single american who thinks our public school system is functioning adequately. Not a student, not a teacher, not a cong…

I'm curious how you get an AI to give you the code you want rather than the code it thinks you want.

The fact that he campaigned on it, brought Musk along and put him on stage to make speeches about it, and even named the "department" before the election and then won seems pretty …

Don't listen and keep losing and pontificating as to why seems to be the chosen path for many people right now.

> the liberals were ruining our country I think their grievances are more detailed than that. They didn't pretend not to listen. They genuinely want what is currently happening and…

I read this here a few weeks ago https://aeon.co/essays/a-new-field-theory-reveals-the-hidden... It seems to imply that living systems (and possibly not simply limited to living sy…

Not much substance in the interview, I'd like to actually understand his reasoning. He's right about the simple concept, if nobody buys the bonds, the government eventually default…

It's obviously exactly that. Of course, it's not well thought out, its 100% legal from the language in the bill to jerk off with a condom, or pull out. Wouldn't want to tempt your …

Well that's good to know, I was unaware.

This is a paid propaganda article. There are people that are "anti science." These are people that say the earth is flat, that say the earth is 6000 years old or whatever else. Try…

The government doesn't get to dictate what the word "engineer" means. An engineer does engineering. Some software developers carefully design very complex systems. That's engineeri…

You create a better world by creating better people. My spawn will inherit the earth.

What a wonderful article, well worth the long read, that's an understatement.

Bitcoin has become harder to change the more people use it. This is true of all decentralized consensus systems that require consensus to modify. The only way this happens is if th…

100%. And to hear it from you. I was just talking to someone yesterday about this and telling them about linear continuous debasement, mimblewimble and grin. Capped supply in PoW e…

Bitcoin will fail because of it's capped supply. Holders are free riders, spenders subsidize the security benefit hilders get, and are therefore incentivized to also free ride. Ult…

I'm not a high earner by any means, but I'll say that I've caught the underconsumption bug. I've always been of the mindset that I need less than I think I do, but I really took it…

*learned Add that to your list.
