It is a really interesting, very scary technology that requires a solid institutional foundation to provide trust. Musk degrades trust, he doesn’t build it.

“…they [Infowars] strive to make life both scarier and longer for everyone, a commendable goal.”

What a fantastic read.

…because he dodges bullets, Avi…

I’ve changed my mind and I’d like to disagree with my previous statement. You can’t pay people to care.

Very good point. I worked for an employee owned company and I hated the work, but loved the atmosphere. There really was this sense of everyone there working together to make everyone better. I don’t think stock options can provide the same atmosphere, the employees need to have agency around leadership choices as well as the compensation that comes with it.

I disagree, I think if you provide ownership of the company as part of compensation you can pay people to care. No big companies do this, but I think they could!

Okay, then what is the process for creating good policy?

Building a broad coalition without policy concessions was a waste of time? You’re going to have a tough time convincing me of that point.

If this is true, that is astonishing.

Holy shit! Me too, except I’ve decided I like it. It is a compelling story. It goes a bit hard on the scientific accuracy which can kind of interrupt the flow, though.

I find the most interesting part is the insight of modern Chinese commentary of recent Chinese history. I wasn’t sure what popular sentiment was, or what criticism / critiques would be allowed to be published by the party.

That doesn’t really have the same rigidity. There would be no guarantee for others that it would remain available to them as long as they adhere to those principles.

Said another way, a bad faith actor could create a patent and make it available to FOS developers, but then turn around and sell that patent to someone who will charge those same developers.

I suppose you could have a third legally binding document that stipulates the terms of use, but kinda wish it was just handled under the patent.

Might be a stupid question, but I’d there a GNU license equivalent to patents? Could you patent something that could be used for free, but not used by a company in a for-profit matter?

I usually do quad stretches, forward bend, downward dog, childs pose, pretzel, and figure 4. I think the figure 4 has had the largest impact loosening up the glute to knee connection.

Do leg stretches every day. Most knee pain is associated with certain muscles overpowering others in rest state. Stretch them out to reset that balance. It’s worked wonders for me, started seeing results in ~2weeks.

I love how he’s the only one not called Dr. On this chart.

I think both of those have rigid scientific definitions.

TIL that trees are the same as vegetables and weeds, arbitrary cultural groupings. We should make an arbitrary cultural group name for arbitrary cultural grouped things!

So far the group is: -Trees -Vegetables -Weeds -Pets -Continents -The culinary use of fruit

You didn’t even use the template!!! A gorgeous masterpiece is sitting there and you just gave us text. I feel robbed.

Just ignore this. It’s not time to wake up from the simulation yet.

Thanks for the explanation. I’ve only played one game like that, but it is super fun; Neptune’s Pride. It’s free and web based, id highly recommend it.

What is an example of an async game mech?
