Have you heard the line about markets staying irrational longer than you can stay solvent?

The CIA can't just make arrests on US soil. They actually do need the FBI to do that. That's another form of oversight.

Why didn't you read the actual textbooks before making guesses based on your mood?

Up till now when you built commercial aircraft wings, did you really on fundamental principles that it should be smooth?

"bird feathers are highly effective at promoting and maintaining laminar flow over wings, particularly during gliding, despite their complex, textured, and often "rough" appearance. The microstructure of feathers helps manage the boundary layer, keeping air flowing smoothly to reduce drag."

What did textbooks call it?

I have no idea what your point is at all. Seriously, are you OK? Just to make it clear - I am against governments, I am against governments using any technology to make it easier for government to oppress people and this is one instrument of oppression.

""The only way to pay for UBI is to massively tax those enormously rich people who own the UBI machines," said Jesse Rothstein, a professor"

What about a sovereign wealth fund?

As for hyperinflation parties, if you index everything why should you care except out of nostalgia for obsolete times?

So how can this be allowed if there is so much graft around this technology that is flowing through thousands of hands in the government offices?

This entire thing is premised on the idea that there will be *more* information available to the federal government to work with, not less. They are fully committed to using these ALPR cameras that are everywhere now to track everything all the time and to put every truck driver out of service for any inconsistency in their visual data and thus hand out more fines, more court time, more oppression.

This is just one single program, one example, there are so much more, there is so much money at stake, never mind the actual flock graft itself.

There was no way to know it was a grift. Unless of course you saw every other obvious grift he had run on his followers for years before.

"I am surprised that a site suppsedly full of computer scientists is the least bit surprised that AI can be good at mathematical proofs."

"You're fighting a strawman."

Are you saying Gweihir is made of straw?

"Nothing can be fixed while people continue to believe there's a difference between Team Red and Team Blue when the same people own both Team Red and Team Blue"

Yeah, people have been spouting that off for decades. The funny thing is, whenever Team Red or Team Blue is in charge you see a real difference.

I've also never heard the dorm room philosophers who think both parties are the same ever explain exactly why if the same people own both Team Red and Team Blue why the billionaires spend so much time, money, and energy trying to get Team Red into office. Shouldn't they just relax?

It's all a small price to pay for Eat Your Veggies.

Duke 3D's soundtrack was not exclusively the work of Bobby Prince; Lee Jackson, Apogee's go-to music guy, also did some of the tracks, including the title theme, Grabbag.

Prince used not only his MIDI skills but also his experience as a lawyer to ensure his 'inspired' derivatives were as close as legally possible to the originals. The relationship between individual tracks is often very clear and sometimes even hinted in the metadata of the source files.
