Nice....another piece of shit I can sell....
Yes on all accounts.
My grandfather was born in a house where the doctor came to his house to deliver him. That type of healthcare used to be routine, then gov mandated insurance brought in "medical warehouses" (ie. hospitals) as desperate attempt to control price increases. That worked for awhile but stopped working about 20 years ago....and now if you go to a hospital for something routine the price starts at $15-20k and goes up to bankruptcy.
it's all a lot more complicated and damage caused by rising water levels, droughts or too wet seasons is felt much more then back then, hence why it's a big deal.
Fair point. However, if its naturally caused what are we going to do? If its human caused, who is going to take the haircut?
Are you going to go without electricity so mega-wealthy home owners get their beachside resort?
That extreme example expands outwards... if the US / Europe "do without electricity" what does it matter if China + rest of world ignore it?
In July 2024, a study published in the journal JAMA Ophthalmology found a potential link between semaglutide — the active ingredient in Wegovy and Ozempic — and a rare eye condition called nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION).
shrugs.... the vast majority of earths history there was no ice on the poles. As recent as 5000 years ago there was no summer Arctic sea ice.....for nearly 35% of the earth's history there was no ice anywhere on earth.
What does "AGW" even mean in that context?
I understand not having ice on poles for 85% of the earths history doesn't itself disprove AGW, but its going to be impossible to determine given the large variations in climate that are naturally occurring.
The AGW...sorry...Climate Change debates are one of the worlds great psyops. Take the shrug pill. Let the commies turn off their electricity and dismantle their factories.
Almost every country founded after 1800 (ie. most countries in western hemisphere), used the US Constitution as a template. Some are remarkably similar (Mexico's constitution is almost of cut and paste of the original US Articles of Confederation)
Look at the state of most of those countries....latin america as a whole is very lacking in freedom metrics.
Point being, is Constitution's are only words on a paper. The only thing that matters is "a people", this is one of the reasons why the powers that be wanted mass migration so badly, because they know with enough demographic change they can produce the political change they desire.

I think this is what a Ron Paul victory looks like.
Agreed. If you look historically, Barry Goldwater was the Ron Paul of the 60s....that Goldwater movement had die hard supporters, but the public at-large was easily swayed against Goldwaters positions....about 15 years later a charismatic politician came along who rebranded lots of the essential ideas, his name was Ronald Reagan.
There are lots of similarities between the Goldwater -> Reagan and Paul -> Trump evolution. Its probably just the way the revolutionary changes happen that the messenger seldom is the one who implements the message.
The game play and discovery is pretty clunky
No one seems to realize that you actually have to "enter the game" to pick heads or tails....just starting the game is not enough
I find AI pretty bad at writing in general. Most of the output sounds weird and stilted. Like its simultaneously trying to lecture me and be my friend. Its a fine writing style for "search results" or "wikipedia", but generally is not something I would want to call my own.
...however AI is useful as a search engine.
I love that tweet from Vijay! It sums of my feeling perfectly about Brian.
In 100 years people will look at him as one of the dumbest people on the planet. He really is stupider than a no-coiner....
I suspect that Coinbase is going to get bought out once the SAB-121 repeal kicks in, but I honestly wish someone like Fidelity would drive them into bankruptcy.
Close to my thesis, but mine is the front-ends like Perplexity / SimTheory / openrouter are going to win.
They are going to win for the following reasons:
- Model leadership changes often
- Model will specialize in task or domains (code creation, image creation, music creation, etc)
This is perfect situation for front-ends to flourish. They can intelligently route you to the correct model for the task you are doing
