I would like to see them try so Musk's army of lawyers can dad-dick whatever 23-year-old sociopath they put on the case and it puts them off ever trying again.

I expect them to suddenly realize they're non-political.

I'm getting the play by play just fine right here.

I confess I was beginning to question my own judgment, the inevitable took slightly longer to manifest than I thought.
But I guess it's also only been, what, five months since the Nazi salute?

The pithy shorthand is that scientists want to understand reality and engineers want to enslave it.

Biden literally went to Israel and gave a press conference basically begging Bibi not to do a massive land invasion. Memory holed of course.

Even if somehow they got away with this it it wouldn't change the fact that Columbia is Columbia. Accreditation is a reflection of status, not the arbitrator of it.

It's like the ivy league school dynamic but 100x worse.

Foreign capital still needs a next best option, and where's that? European unions will just turn the money into extra vacation days.

American constitutional law makes much more sense when you understand what it was replacing. British law, especially speech law, is just a cavalcade of bumblefuckery.

I had a taxi driver in Rome last year who was old school and used paper maps. Charming!
We watched on Google maps as he drove ten minutes in the wrong direction before we told him; he was going to the wrong street address.

Engineering vs. science. The antipathy very much goes both ways.

I am betting that this isn't true and I have several reasons for thinking so: network effects of US capital markets, the tendency for high-quality US businesses to go public rather than stay closely held, and the tendency in the American system to let gains flow to shareholders instead of employees.

The average person will spend about two weeks listening to your problems before they get sick of it and cut you out. Exceptions are for if they stand to inherit a bunch of money from you, or you just pay them directly (this is called "therapy").

Google Docs has some sort of AI-powered spellcheck which is very good but I don't think that really counts.

I know lots of people that use AI for lots of things and get incredible use out of it.
The problem is, none of those are things I need or want to do.
Every time I've ever tried AI for something I want or need, it's been pretty much dogshit.

If you want to know what degrowth would be like, have a look at the academic job market in the humanities.

EVs trigger some anticar people in the way that social democratic mixed economies trigger hardcore communists: a much improved alternative might diminish the appetite for their utopian ideology.

I'm with Will B., stigma is a Chesterton's Fence and should mostly be left alone.

I'm also going to bet that, steeped as it is in utter ignorance of culture outside of the US context, it is unlikely to succeed.

Drugs absolutely do cause bad behavior, what the fuck is this dude talking about, disinhibition is like number one on the list of risks of drugs. Helen Hunt jumped through a plate glass window because of PCP, were you even IN health class?
