Absolutely. The public doesn’t care what word games you play or what rights you allocate yourself in a terms of service if you pull off something shady you deserve all the bad publicity you get

I think we basically agree on the need for long-term positions and cultures to develop things like CRISPR and Quantum. What my original post refers to is that the average FAANG employee stays at the company for a little over a year these are the free agency moves that hurt technology in innovations like the ones you mentioned..

That’s the point

I appreciate your response, but I just don’t think any of the technologies you cite come close to the foundational technologies they rely upon like information theory or wire message transmission. Foundational technologies require time, culture and investment not just an influx of VC cash, and a few months of clever experimentation

Street fight videos, where the guy recording is Hooting and egging people on are disgusting

Good call!

Tech companies have the same problems as the NBA. there used to be career stars like Claude Shannon developing cultures of excellence out of teams like IBM, but just like Larry Bird and the Celtics, the free agent market and stars chasing the dollar has diminished the culture and thus the product.

America is the land of stand your ground laws in which a citizen may legally take a life if they feel endangered. Let's not forget the 1000 or so police kill every year.

We amateur criminologist assume intent in every clue. But Luigi, just like Roskalnikov, probably was a mixture of guilt, incompetence, and mental breakdown, as the reality of his situation and its hopelessness took over his thoughts.

Not what I’m reading. People on my timeline are asking why we’re forced to pay into a feudal system in which health coverage is not guaranteed leaving them with hospital bills in the tens of thousands of dollars for minor procedures after their claim was arbitrarily denied. Others are asking how in the wealthiest nation on earth 1 million people go bankrupt from medical bills when guys like this CEO are making $56 million a year

Yes! This is the nuance I’m looking for. There are issues with corporations exploiting our private lives and data but if one were to find someone’s family photo album left sitting around it doesn’t seem horrible to me to take a look.

I don’t know if you intentionally take my point out of context, but the man was arguing that it ruined his day because there were such things as sex in these random clips.

If your issue is the unwitting use of people’s images for corporate profit I think we can agree that especially irksome when it’s children. But does it ruin your day or seeing especially exploitative to see a child at a petting zoo or celebrating their birthday like maybe one in a dozen clip show or is there room for nuance?

Are we watching the same YouTube clips?

Ruined your day? Although it is undoubtedly tech voyeurism the fact that these observations occur in every day life and don’t violate people’s privacy I would just like to invite you to get out more.

Common sense is overrated. Shakespeare, Neumann, Da Vinci… great thinkers didn’t think common common sense caught up with them

The web in general sucks for quickly finding information. from the essays that proceed a recipe or a news site which autoplays an irrelevant video on every story. It not only wastes time it waste your phone data. The ChatGPT search feature has eliminated the junk and gives me the info I’m looking for.

Begs the question, innit?

Tied with Coq for best name

Get real dude. You try getting out of work and then driving to a library for internet to do some work. Now have someone drive you to the library and pick you up cuz you don't have a driver's license. And pack yourself a snack because you're going to be hungry and after school. Cancel all engagements with your friends. Your library closes at 6:00. But you need to finish this report and it's going to take all night... Should I go on?

Homework? Have you tried using a Google Chromebook without the internet?

Most low income people can't afford rent. You should spend no more than 30% of your income on it and yet the majority of low income people do. So how do they 'afford' it? Mountains of debt. The better question to be asking is how do we lift low income kids out of poverty if we're cutting them off from the information they need to get an education?

With class curriculums increasingly going digital, our most at risk students are given Chromebooks but are cut off at home because of the 'wasteful' internet. Suppose you're a teacher, already tight on time, and your lowest performing students say they can't get on to Google classroom because their internet was cut off: do you have to create a separate lesson plan or cut Chromebooks out of your lessons entirely?

What if we could just put these displays were our windows are?

You've never seen aggressively dangerous driving? Must be nice living there.

"While Waits’ attorneys weren’t able to argue for copyright infringement (he didn’t own the rights to’ Step Right Up’), they were able to evoke the recent Midler v. Ford Motor case. When Bette Midler refused to appear in one of the car manufacturer’s adverts, they decided to license her 1972 track ‘Do You Want to Dance’ and hire a Bette-Milder lookalike instead. The singer sued Ford and won the case, with the court deciding that a singer with a “distinct” and “well known” voice also owned its likeness. To begin with, Frito-Lay argued that Waits wasn’t nearly famous enough for the precedent to apply. The court, on the other hand, disagreed and awarded Waits $2.6 million in damages."

I'm guessing your tent is slightly under 3K?

Reading The Four by Scott Galloway, Apple, Facebook, Google, and Amazon were dominating the market 7 years ago generating 2.3 trillion in wealth. They're worth double that now.

The Four, especially with its AI, is going to control the market in ways that will have a deep impact on government and society.

Kinda fits in with the remote, underground theme of the property, no?
