The sun is a physical body, so a physical explanation makes sense. The problem is, our subjective experience isn't actually physical. It has no mass, no shape, no size. It may corr…

I'd like to put up my own spy satellite. It would be nice to be able to look instantly wherever I want. Probably some rich person will do it one day.

I would say that the title "it's slow" is ridiculous because 1/30th of the fastest possible speed in the universe is insanely fast. Better to say "it's fast, but I think we can mak…

This is totally amazing. Thank you for posting this.

I think the biggest reason is that the USA is a melting pot from people all over the world. The culture clashes in this country are way bigger than you would see in such a small ho…

McDonalds has been saying for years that higher minimum wage will drive only them to technology and automation faster. I guess they finally did it.

I'm not sure that anyone can, but just that certain large entities can, and it is apparently profitable for them to do so, so they have incentive to keep it in line. If it's sellin…

Not really the ETFs are generally backed by the actual securities they represent. They may deviate from market value a bit intraday, but those deviations are picked up by special a…

Vultr is at $2.50 a month for 512mb ram which is plenty for a side project. As for your tech stack you'd use Linux of course but as for programming language it's your preference. I…

The prison system isn't the only thing at fault though. The courts are horribly rigged as well and it looks like that was why this man spent so much time behind bars. It's a terrib…

This guy is crazy. Maybe a ubi is good for some time to help people get on their feet but a lifetime entitlement to huge amounts of other people's money is beyond belief. The taxes…

What about the criminal issue? I think if he has criminal stuff against him he has plenty to lose.

I agree 100%. Google has done so much good for the world by creating not only the best search engine, but also the best browser, the best maps, the best free email, an amazing mobi…

When social security started, they promised it would never take up more than 3% income tax. Today it is 15%. That is a 500% increase in taxes to support it, and it's only getting w…

Hopefully this is the start of artificial, government imposed barriers being torn down. Hopefully someday anybody will be able to be a lawyer or plumber, or anything else they want…

Hi Orange County. Life after death is very real. People try to explain away our consciousness, how it "arises" mystically out of our brains. However, the reality is our souls are i…

You don't need lidar for autonomous driving. Musk has made this clear, as does the fact that we drive fine with just 2 cameras in our heads. Once you can solve the computer vision …

It's like any new technology. More expensive than you think. But to give up now after so much spent?

People shouldn't use hackintoshes. In addition to being buggy and illegal, it's also disrespectful. They put a ton of work into their os and their right to sell it how they please …

For everybody who seems baffled by this decision, it's about finances. He believes a private organization, which doesn't have the infinite pockets of the government is a better way…

The Consolation of Philosophy by Boethius. Actually I read this in school, but most schools don't teach it. It's a brilliant book written by a man who was thrown in a dungeon in th…

Because life is fundamentally good . People spend a lot of time talking about how there is no such thing as good or evil, but when it comes down to it, no rational person would bel…

It may be financial. I wouldn't buy anything you can't afford in cash. Keeping up with joneses is very real and the banks want you to keep up with them so that they can make a ton …

First, the market is 0 sum only in the very short term. But over the long term it always goes up, even when accounting for inflation. Secondly, you can still use this because there…
