I think that since you are making the claim that generative AI is propping up stocks, that the burden of proof is on you to explain why it is so useful. Right now you are just repe…

If you'd read what I said, you'd understand why this doesn't apply.

This is not "my system" just poking holes in the argument I was responding to. Let's say you don't get taxed in this manner until after $1B net worth.

The US gov does a lot of unconstitutional things. I am just saying it's a lack of political will.

This argument is so lazy. Simply levy a tax on them each year that is their net worth multiplied by the risk-free rate. That takes care of most people with money in publicly traded…

I was not even alive during the Eternal September, but the way I feel now feels like how Usenet old-timers describe it.

Maybe my feelings are a bit hyperbolic, but 2023 really feels like the year that the internet "died". That plus heatwaves, price increases, etc, it really feels like the death thro…

The real answer is that there is no actual way to win. You are at their mercy and it is really 100% up to what they choose to do.

Yeah the Gantt chart almost feels amateurish with how simple and optimistic it is. I would love to know how development actually went. I can't imagine building an entire game from …

I am implementing Monocular vSLAM as a side project right now. I am working with some optimization libraries like GTSAM but having some issues. Do you know any good resources for t…

I am just a hobbyist but I can answer some of these. > Whats the difference between a “binocular” camera and two “monocular” cameras? For the camera itself, nothing. They are proba…

The answer is "it depends" First, liberal doesn't really mean much in America. Liberal for a lot of people just means "those people I disagree with". For others it means people who…

Funny, my grandfather worked in agriculture since he was 5 by his own account. He is the hardest working man I know, but I never heard him say anything about the value of a hard da…

Couldn't have said it better.

> It's hard to pass a law that protects these people because they are outside of the legal system by being undocumented It's really not. Don't deport people who file labor complain…

Because the article is about the exploitation of migrant children in dangerous industries and people are commenting with pro child-labor takes citing their summer job in high schoo…

> Keep reading. I did. > The problem seems to be driven by undocumented workers crossing the border. There are a lot of dangerous second order effects from having a porous border a…

I have felt that way for a while. It seems like a place where propaganda would have a very good ROI. I see fewer and fewer tech articles on here and more and more "culture war" stu…

What an argument in bad faith. You are being extremely reductive in order to glaze over the litany of other issues here. Minors should not be cleaning dangerous equipment in slaugh…

That already exists in the form you describe.

It is clear that many aren't reading the article. This is not about kids working at McDonald's for a summer job: "In February, the Labor Department announced that it had found more…

Ah yes the classic conservative trope of using blue collar aesthetics to undermine labor protections. Glad to see people in this comment section are smart enough not to fall for it…

You are describing how the should operate given the current situation and assuming it doesn't change. I am saying the current situation is bad and needs to change. I think that wha…

I never understood this kind of thinking. When 50-60% of humanity live in urban areas why is this an argument that people use? Should people live in cities and then move out to the…

I think it's easy to poo-poo people spending their income on a bunch of material stuff, especially as someone who hardly consumes and saves my money neurotically. But in the US we …
