Re:Neuralink's First Patient: 'It Blows My Mind So Much' on Saturday May 18, 2024 @11:47AM (#40399949)
It's easy to be queasy about brain implants but the promise is so vast. I ride motorcycles and my wife rides horses, we're both relatively at risk of becoming paraplegic. In the past, that seemed like a death sentence. Now, if I could just pipe my brain into my dev environment, getting paralyzed and getting a neuralink just seems like another phase of life.

There's a song about this already: https://music.apple.com/us/album/powered-by-renewables-ep/17...

"time to terraform" by Big Bear and the Sierra Serenaders

It just seems to be so brutal to be poor.

After years of living in San Mateo county, I moved across the bay to a reasonably nice apartment complex in Hayward. Within a week, I noticed pro-nazi messages in Spanish carved into the picnic tables at the local park. Within a few months, my car had been broken into twice, my garage had been broken in 4 times, and someone set a bush on fire next to my car and it melted some of the plastic on the front driver's quarter panel. I moved away but not everyone has the option.

I get why people work so hard to avoid being poor!

no one's trying to compare across different traditions and your story is uncharitably critical of Europeans, could you pleases use a more ethnically neutral example in the future?
If journalists were capable of logical reasoning, they wouldn't be journalists.

It's natural that universities will experience political accountability as they become more politically active. Education consumes a lot of resources, it's only natural that it's the subject of a lot of scrutiny.
