The most disappointing part of Elon Musk's turn as a full-on mud-wrestling Culture Warrior is that he's turned himself from something our society desperately needs more of into something our society desperately needs less of.

L take. Copyright is the main thing that gives individual artists a fighting chance to profit from their work. AI+no copyright equals a world where Google, Meta et al control culture same way Walmart+China hollowed out US mfg and Main Street retailers.

If you itemize deductions you can write off losses due to theft.

My theory is that in the actually real rapid SHTF collapse scenario, 95%+ are dead within months and the 5% who survive are almost a random drawing, and definitely don’t favor the conspicuously rich.

I had a very mild-mannered JFK-liberal Asian affairs prof in college who rarely got wound up about anything partisan, until somebody in class said "but Noam Chomsky says X" and Prof. replied "that man denies the Cambodian genocide" with such moral disgust that the walls shook.

For 4 centuries, whatever the critical natural resource has been, the US seems to be covered with the stuff: 18th: Timber everywhere 19th: Coal, iron, and gold/silver deposits all over the place 20th: Oil bubbling out of the ground in PA 21st: Hey, what's all this white stuff?

I've always said that the difference between developers and salesmen was that on weekends developers would write code and salespeople would play golf.

Surprised to not hear mention of 2c-b. Supposedly it was Shulgin’s favorite of everything he invented/tested.

From what I’ve seen online, the angriest GC/terf types seem mostly like very damaged people lashing out, while the TRAs are more focused on a few clear goals. Also, GCs have had much less institutional power.

And yet, divorce rates tend to go down as income goes up (plateau around 30%/200K). This despite the fact that divorce is usually a financial disaster when you're below like 80th percentile income.

Actual neutrality would be leaving the choice to the user.

Gonna be funny when it turns out to be 1000 scrolls about some offshoot branch of Epicurean philosophy, basically a giant Reddit thread arguing about something nobody else cares about when they could have given us all the works of Sappho.

You're getting dragged for this but I agree. First 39 seconds it's typical Trumpian rambling on things we all agree on and then he switches register and GRABS YOU BY THE THROAT for the polarizing conclusion. A stylistic school unto himself, arresting and inimitable.

If you ever care to, the best book on the subject is Langewiesche's "Stick and Rudder," written back in the 40s, and still in print AFAIK. Written for student pilots rather than engineers, it makes all the counter- things much more intuitive. Not much help w poly r'ships though.
