The best and the brightest know what a woman is. Those universities that don't know can be refunded with no loss. Ukraine, the most corrupt country in Europe with Nazis? Hard pass. We gave them so much and they still lost. Losers. Antisemitic bastards.

I actually think the difference between 51% and 65% is surprisingly small.

The online music streaming market doesn't seem to have become fragmented like the video market has. Everybody has everything. You don't have to sign up for 10 different music streaming services to find what you want. I don't actually have spotify, it seems like everything is on Youtube anyways?

Would you call China invading Taiwan defense? That is the issue. Neither China nor the USA will be invading the other anytime in the foreseeable future.

"TDS" is simply the reflexive response when you can't defend him.

And the tragic thing about this is that the possibility isn't really that far-fetched, and indeed is precisely the type of thing the climate deniers would do to thwart climate science.

Nah, actually religion gives our lives meaning and gives us a greater understanding of the world and our place in it.

The Church Fathers were men of exceptional wisdom and their writings are still relevant today.

Thomas Aquinas would take any fedora-tipping breadtube atheist debater to the woodshed.

USA innovates.

China duplicates.

Europe regulates.

Since when were the fascist AmerIKKKans not a lost cause? This didn't start with Trump. Jim Crow, Slavery, genocide, it goes way back.

Going out of business, it ain't pretty. You take measures to increase revenue, but it inevitably makes the product worse or more expensive.

Actual slavery involves forcing people to work, and your comparison depends largely on pretending you don't understand this.

I agree it won't last long, but there is a "magical" or "high priesthood" aspect to it for now (or put more pragmatically - trade secrets). If it were just a matter of going through some set of well-defined steps, even hard ones like getting a PhD from Stanford, way too many people have done that for $10M pay packages to happen.

I guarantee you that a mid-level research scientist in AI from non-distinguished company is not making $500k per year in flat salary.

I actually think that's the way to go. There needs to be a law about whether AI is allowed to learn from content on the same terms as a living individual, or not. Then there also need to be technical means to enact whatever policy is legislated, which is here this Cloudflare technology could fit in.

I wouldn't say "from scratch." The Germans made a very significant investment in rocketry, and it's hard to argue we didn't exploit it, when Werner von Braun (a Nazi, and in fact officer in the SS) was the chief architect of the Saturn V.

China is making progress. Between 2013 and 2022, particulate pollution in China declined by 41 percent. That is huge.

Nobody else but the prison system can set the price of calls to the prison system, so they're milking it. (Oddly this was also true when I lived in the dorms at college, before cellphones).

I don't think its' a matter of taking it easy on the prisoners, it's mostly a matter of not highway robbing their loved ones, who haven't done anything wrong.
