You are filtering out politically engaged people who have assesed the current mechanisms of state to be too flawed to be worth continued interaction. This is likely quite a large g…

Nuclear without greed is fine. Its only where shortcuts have been taken with cooling that there will be issues.

It's because ignoring rights happens faster than they can be protected. Move fast enough with sufficent scale and you can eliminate peoples ability to protect their own rights befo…

I would say they create more addictive content than people with lives away from social media. But that doesnt help with building 1:1 connections.

Why instead of? Do both.

Not even close chief. Earth has been a rich, life sustaining planet in far hotter conditions then anything we are projected to take it to. We can kill billions of ourselves, but sh…

At one point we considered adding artifical delay to responses because irrational users dont trust something that finishes fast, even if its the same quality. How empirical are you…

Users dont understand the externalised cost of free services. Worse than that, they feel entitled to them, to the point that the actual expectation of having to pay for something t…

Because i would rather solve the problems close to home, the problems involving those billionaires. Im not going to put effort into turning those other people in another country in…

Their needs are met. They are turning to racism because of their wants and fears.

And if you are any kind of strategic thinker when faced with that problem, you will do two things 1. Invest in propaganda to ensure the US becomes hostile to immigrants. 2. Invest …

Or a life where everyone operates in absolutes, with no shades of grey allowed. Zero reflection and total constant analysis paralysis are both non viable.

Or the value of everything non ai drops to zero, which makes the value of ai infinite by comparison.

It's not about blindly accepting autogenerated code. Its using them for tooling integration. Its like terminal autocomplete on steroids. Everything around the code is blazing fast.…

The majority of obese people want to be thin, but will die obese anyway. Just wanting something that requires a significant overhaul of how you do things, is not enough.

If this reduces error rates to below those of a human, then that's an acceptable approach. Unless you think humans code reviewing humans is pointless because errors sometimes still…

Pass. Im glad not to be confined by historical rules invented by people who could not hope to predict the future, and would not choose to put that kind of burden on my descendents.…

The libertarian fantasy where its possible to exist without the choices of others impacting you, doesn't work in the real world.

They voted against it because they thought it didn't go far enough.

Those three things are just part of point 4 in the article. An authoritarian leader will tell you those things are under threat and that only they can protect them, to create a fee…

I'm one of those people who is happier when spending some time in the office each week and have said that when surveyed. Don't assume survey results that run counter to your anecdo…

This is overblown. The police are responsible for deciding how to classify a report. Their decisions need to be audited to avoid corruption. Ergo they have to maintain a record of …
