It is just hard for me to believe the Russian economy can collapse in 2022 without causing a global financial contagion. We are probably already beyond the 1998 Russian financial c…

Gazprom is down 50% in London https://www.londonstockexchange.com/stock/OGZD/pjsc-gazprom/... Ruble chart is just incredible with rates hiked to 20% in one day. https://www.trading…

I really think you underestimate what we just did to their financial system. Everyone's savings have been destroyed and they had to hike rates to 20%. Russia didn't even open the s…

We have known this for so long now. The problem is that is not the answer people want. People want the holy grail, literally. Eat pizza, drink beer while sitting playing video game…

I love listening to him but the problem is I know calorie restriction and time restricted eating is smart but I love good food more. People don't just want to live longer. They wan…

IMO there is no solution that is so much better than MIDI CC to give up the backward compatibility and universality of MIDI.

The whole idea is so absurd. The longest stay in space currently is 14 months and Mars is nearly two years away. Going to Mars is just a super charging station for Musk's narcissis…

Looking at the chart of USD RUB this is going to have massive consequences. IMO we have probably just got rid of Putin and brought back Russian Communism. Then you will have a Comm…

To me, he does a great job of letting the ideas of the guest be the main focus. I don't want to hear him tell jokes or try to be a comedian.

Not Plasma? https://i0.wp.com/9to5linux.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/k... The idea of using Windows 95 instead of Plasma is just absurd to me. Windows 95 Explorer vs Dolphin? Wha…

There has to be so many questions in so many of the Russian boots on the grounds minds about this. That matters more IMO than what the military brass thinks.

This is a video game view of war though. As if the authoritarian has a video game controller that lets the video game characters do as the authoritarian pleases. This has nothing t…

Generative music is absolutely nothing new either. I have listened to so much generative music the last 25 years and there was one piano piece that was really good and something th…

This is all nonsense. The division is because we haven't had anything to unite over since 9/11. The Iraq war was divisive. At this point it is half the country living in one media …

Totally agree. I even go with three. One work gave me, one for my own hard mental work and one for everything else. For me, I am just not going to play on my personal work computer…

I don't think this is even the problem though. We have amazing physical modeling synths but the problem is it is not "playable" with a keyboard in the sense of being able to contro…

Honestly, I think if you had resources you would eventually run into someone who would use violence to take those resources and the last line in your post is exactly what would hap…

Totally agree. Nuclear war is something completely different. There is nothing to come back to. Resource scarcity would turn things violent really quickly for the survivors.

No idea what you are talking about. They jumped on electronic warfare as a new type of weapon. It costs practically nothing to get a huge effect if successful. If I was a country w…

For sure. $100 dollar oil makes a ton of supply profitable. It just won't be here tomorrow though.

Yea of a 140 million people they all agree with Putin. 0% disagree with Putin and even if they did 0% would use Reddit to communicate with people outside of Russia. Come on.

Russia has a population of a 140 million people. It is utterly preposterous to believe not a single one uses Reddit AND doesn't agree with their government. Not to mention, where d…

"The government has also proposed measures that would force companies to filter out "legal but harmful" material" This isn't government censorship though. It is just a private comp…

Sergey Brin was born in Moscow though so who is to say when it comes to war. I do agree though, this is most likely just the nature of the problem of trying to moderate such a mass…
