Of course, we could hand all 8 billion people on the planet a thousand /48’s each and still have trillions and trillions to spare.

Of course which is why I said average. And farmers (and everyone else) would not be paying taxes on income, payroll taxes for field hands, gas taxes, import/export taxes, and so on…

If I could wave a magic wand and get the policies I want, I would abolish essentially all taxes except a Land Value Tax. At an average of $10,000 per acre and a roughly 1.4 Billion…

The classic.

ELIZA could pass the Turing Test and is over 50 years older than GPT2. You are claiming we have had AGI available since before the first version of Unix came out?

.zip was especially egregious. No one should have allowed that to happen.

Wow I thought the line numbers were the number. That makes way more sense. Clearly need to slow down when I am reading.

The example output is not correct at all. I am not familiar with Smalltalk’s syntax to say the code is wrong but it looks like Fizzbuzz so why is the output wrong? Skimming back ov…

I also only learned about Zero-Knowledge Proofs from links to articles, blogs, and discussions here so someone has to bring it up.

I live in rural Ohio and there is like 6? Colo places within an hour’s drive. When I lived outside of Orlando there was like a dozen in Orlando alone. If you look up Colo options i…

I remember having to spend 3 days to get games to work on Linux and then something like sound or a texture would be completely broken still. In many cases performance would be wors…

I think the major argument against MMT is that no one has the stomach to actually implement the level of taxation necessary to counteract inflation when it starts to rise too quick…

I feel like this fails to address my point. In 2008 there was a subprime mortgage crisis that caused the housing market to crash. Nearly all banks who participated in this survived…

Is the internet bigger or smaller than it was in 1998 compared to today? Demand for internet and web services is significantly higher today than in 2000 but a bubble still popped. …

This is the sk-ed25519 kind of keys correct? These work flawlessly with the KeepassXC ssh-agent integration. My private keys are password protected, saved securely inside my passwo…

Does the person prompting the AI work for free?

I thought there was a Mac Performa or Quadra (like 2 or 3 very specific models only) that supported both Apple DOS and ][e cards. And I get that the Apple DOS and Apple U/X perform…

Whatever model Classic Mac that supported the Apple ][e expansion card, Apple DOS expansion card, and Apple Unix install (getting you System 7? 8?, DOS, original Apple, and a comme…

The FCC seems to count some level of assembly and packaging as qualifying as “Made in the US” so as long as it’s not a complete sham it should count. Of course, getting a router SO…

Does anyone even have a list of US produced routers? Like does installing OpenWRT or OPNSense or VyOS matter? I can’t think of a complete start to finish, OS to mosfets, computer t…

Is it possible to calculate how much free at time of use roads are? How much of the tax bill goes towards that? If we are going to talk about how much the cost of public transporta…

A quick search shows that it’s more like 50 tons of meteorites entering the atmosphere per day. Or over 18,000 tons per year. If Starlink’s are about 2 tons each (the v3’s are goin…

I have over a dozen ssh keys (one for each service and duplicates for each yubikey) and other than the 1 time I setup .ssh/config it just works. I have the setting to only send tha…

Billions. Facebook has spent billions and billions over the past decade in VR. Starting with the Oculus merger and then in 2021 with the rebrand. 10 billion a year supposedly for t…
