I'll give you examples:

Weren't the 19th century coal miners coerced by economic necessity to accept life threateningly bad working conditions?

Weren't the parents of the child laborers coerced by economic necessity?

How is this in any way shape or form even hard to understand and admit to?

> When, in your view, are people not coerced?

When one's general well being and access to necessities are not dependent on accepting the terms of the agreement.

It's gauche to send one's mom flowers once a year, because this implies one only thinks of her once a year. The answer is, of course, to pay for a service that sends her flowers once a month.
Comparing it now, it looks like it's only competitive if your time is completely worthless. A nonstop flight from Seattle to SFO or SJC is $50, and is ~2 hours plus whatever time it takes to go through security. Via Amtrak, it looks like the best case scenario is $57 for a ride that takes longer than 24 hours?!

> It takes 11 hours to take the train.

How's that even possible? Looking at GMaps, there's roughly 650km of tracks between the two, so that's an average of 60km/h.

Even regular speed trains in Europe easily average 100 to 120km/h.

Are the tracks in terrible shape? Or are they stuck behind freight trains?

The headline was not "Everything is perfectly sustainable in Sweden" so I don't understand your criticism here. The world starting to produce steel with hydrogen is a great step. It is not necessary that everything is sustainable already to celebrate or at least posivitely acknowledge this news.
Have you read the New York Times or watched CNN or MSNBC in the last five years? Rural and working class white people ("deplorables") have replaced Wall Street as the enemy.

It's of course in-character for the New York Times to punch down. That's the same thing they did when Wall Street was full of Rockefeller Republicans while rural and working class white people voted Democrat. The only thing that's changed is the moral failings assigned to them.

What year did audio cards start to get integrated into motherboards? I remember having to install a sound blaster card and having to configure each game’s audio back in about the late DOS to Early Windows days. I think a shift then happened and this was fully integrated into motherboards. It seems like this integrated audio with few ports and options is more than good enough for 99.99999% of people.

A paycheck is not a credit card payment. The value is on the books as soon as the work is completed.

If you don't intend to pay debt when you acquire it, that is fraud. But your equivalence ignores the counterparty: a worker is not loaning out their time to a company contingent on a loan agreement, they are making value as soon as the work is made, a fraction of which they own at that point. The terms are legally very different; one is a credit agreement and the other is a wage, because the counterparties are different.

In an ideal world, the wage agreement is far stricter than the credit agreement -- hence, it is called "theft" when it is violated. Unfortunately, as stated in the article, we do not live in an ideal world.
What's wasteful about that?

Yes, absolutely, but Ferrari is simply a part of the Agnelli empire and the other brands are going to have to follow suit anyway. So Ferrari may just as well accept the inevitable, Italy certainly isn't going to drop out of the union on account of a couple of thousand of vehicles, besides, at some point the stigma of buying a new ICE car will be such that it may well be that nobody wants them except for collectors who just want to own the cars and not drive them (which isn't rare with Ferrari's to begin with).

The problem with an exemption from a ban is that once you go down that road there will be plenty of others that will want an exemption as well, so best to leave that door closed. Because all those little exceptions in the end do add up. Why exempt say Ferrari but not MB/AMG or Maybach or Rolls Royce, or even the (currently dormant I believe) Phaeton line.
The quakers are today so small as to be completely irrelevant. And the existence of the quakers proves the commenters points that right wing groups tend to be right wing only incidentally. They have another main purpose. He gives churches as an example. People go to church for religion. Coincidentally, many of them also happen to be conservative. That there are churches where this is not true only emphasizes this point that right wing groups tend to form incidentally.
Well they should since they invented, and were first to market, for most of the innovations in the first place. They didn’t bother selling to startups like Google back when, and folks decided to recreate most of it on a cheaper basis, from what I understand.

> Are you arguing in good faith?

Yes? Kind of insulting that you ask, but thanks for at least asking instead of just accusing.

> It is clear that the employer owes a debt to the employee as soon as the labor is performed per the labor agreement. The employee owns the debt.

The employee owns the debt, not the funds. That's precisely the reason the employee needs to sue: he doesn't own the money yet. Otherwise he wouldn't need to sue; it would already be his and he could take possession of it.

Consider this: if the employee went into the employer's drawer and took out cash to get his pay without authorization, is that legal? I'm pretty sure that's theft, despite him legally owning the debt. Which I think is why you don't see e.g. underpaid cashiers going around removing cash from registers to repay stolen wages.

If it helps, you can also look at this from another angle: stolen goods can in general be returned directly to their owners. And stolen goods are in general illegal to possess knowingly. Now what would happen if that money was subsequently paid to another employee? Could the first one claw it back on the basis that it was theirs? No, I'm pretty sure he'd get to keep it because the money never actually "belonged" to the first employee. Or if the second employee was already aware of the wage having been "stolen" from the first one, is he now also a criminal for receiving stolen goods? I'm pretty sure the answer is no, but you're welcome to fact-check me on all these; I'm happy to learn more.

Having a food journal, i.e writing down what food you’re about to eat before you eat it. For me it helped me understand the difference between a craving and legitimate hunger, which decreased my daily calories.

It’s a simple habit, but it has had a dramatic effect on my weight loss journey. Level 2 of this habit is to check out the nutritional information of everything before you eat it, but that’s a discussion for another day.

I can answer that in the abstract. I don't think that's what's happening, I don't have any reason to think that. Just answering in a vacuum.

Imagine you sell widgets for $200 a pop. Widgets are hard to manufacture, production is limited.
Someone else has 10k widgets that they want to sell for $75 per.

If you buy all the stock, people will be forced to buy yours, because of supply constraint.

200-75 = 125 is more income than if you price-matched and sold at 75.

Now why destroy them, and not just sell them back?
Well, they're not necessarily identical to the widgets you make. Maybe they have the other brand's logo stamped on them. Maybe the datasheet doesn't quite match.

Either way, your customers might notice. If you just buy and burn, no one downstream of you sees anything, except for higher prices

Note also that the above sounds immoral enough to be illegal in a whole lot of countries, so I would advise you not do that, though I'm neither lawyer nor spiritual advisor.
No, I'm just saying that shipping things globaly became a thing, and people started taking advantage of those abilities.

It's always relevant to ask: what problem are we trying to solve?

The ban is meant to bring EU closer to the 2050 zero-CO2 emission goal. This will be achieved by shrinking current emissions while increasing CO2 removal ( see https://assets.weforum.org/editor/responsive_large_webp_XR_q... ).

If someone brings in the discussion the ability to have 10'000 extra for the co2-net-zero goal, let's think -- it is helping the goal? Can we remove with this money more CO2 than the super-car would be producing over its lifetime?

Bringing out the stick to keep the discussion on topic must be traded-off carefully against the danger of killing relevant novel ideas and different ways to look at the problem.

There are a number of people who are "originalists" on the court. People who believe that they have a special understanding of the founders. A belief that they, at a minimum, channel the ideals through some kind of unknowable means.

To me, this is a combination of religious belief in some kind of righteousness of the founders, which is easily challengeable. Or it is some kind of belief that a person's internal thought process matches that of these mythical founders. I don't know the series of beliefs that is necessary for someone to hold the belief that they have this insight that other members of the court don't, but I assure you that the process that gets you to this belief is almost certainly emotional, not logical. It is not possible to read the mind of someone 200 years past, or how they would respond to modern society and scientific understanding. I do assure you that the belief that thinking one has the power to make that guess accurately is false.

How many people on the bench hold this set of religious beliefs? And if one holds this set of beliefs, then do the amendments to the constitution that follow retain validity? Do they then have the ability to discern the mental patterns of the people who wrote those amendments too?

With this and the shadow dockets, I strongly believe that the sense of validity of the courts will soon falter, and the societal costs will be great.

I think that many rights encoded in the amendments will soon be gutted.
> Native Americans of the Pacific coast who saw bountiful years more often than not also engaged in rituals of conspicuous consumption, typically by burning the excess.

Burning Man definitely feels like white people 'discovering' potlatch. The actual burning of the man is mostly a hood ornament for the event. The festival itself and its culture revolve around creating a community and your rank in that community mainly comes from how much you give away. That's really the thing that keeps people coming back, not the fancy bonfire.
Ok, so there's a lot of tension here:

1. A lot of people want these systems to be open, and don't want the power that comes along with them to be locked up in the hands of a few rich people.

2. But some people also think these systems are powerful and don't want them in the hands of bad-faith actors (spammers, scammers, propagandists).

3. A lot of people also want these systems to be weakly safe and not have negative externalities when used in good faith (avoid spitting out racism when prompted with innocent questions). This is already hard.

4. Even better would be for the system to be strongly safe and be really hard to use for bad-faith purposes, but this seems unreasonably hard.

5. It's often easier to develop the "unsafe" version of something first and then figure out the details of safety once it's actually able to do something. This is basically where OpenAI is now.

6. The details around liability for the harms caused by this kind of thing are not clear at all.

So OpenAI is in this position where it has built this thing that is not yet weakly safe. People have very different ideas about how potentially harmful this could be, ranging from very dismissive ("there's tons of racism on the internet already, who cares?") to the very not dismissive ("rich white tech people are exacerbating inequities by subjecting us to their evil racist AI systems!").

What should OpenAI do with this thing? Keep it locked up so that it doesn't hurt anybody? Release it to the world and push accountability onto the end users? Brush aside the ethical questions and use the hype generated by the above tensions to get as rich as possible? So far their answer seems to be somewhere cautiously in the middle.

My personal opinion is that these questions will be very important for real AGI, but this ain't it, so the issues may not be as bad as they seem. On the other hand, maybe this is a useful test case for how to deal with these problems for when we do actually get there? Also from past experience, it's probably not a good idea for them to allow open access to something that spits out unprompted racism. I would like to see OpenAI more open, but I also realize that it's very hard for them to make any decision in this space without making people unhappy and generating a lot of bad press and accusations.

They don't think they can make electric super cars in 14 years? They have plenty of notice. On a side note, John Carmack was on Joe Rogan's podcast and talked about supercharging his Ferraris. In the same podcast, Carmack said he actually prefers his Tesla over the Ferrari. The supercar companies may be in trouble, and extending the life of combustion engines is unlikely to help.

Around 11:56 he talks about why his Tesla wins in many ways over his Ferraris.

I have no hard stats on who buys supercars but I have a feeling a significant number of them don't like the idea of cars not running on oil.
Lamborghini already makes an SUV and Ferrari is working on one. The only reason Porsche still exists today is because the Cayenne was/is such a profitable car that it carried them through a rough financial patch.

SUVs make money so that they can spend that on developing other cars (in the case of Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche, etc it will go towards developing supercars). It's an economic reality in the automotive industry.

EDIT: Originally OP made a comment about not caring about car companies that make SUVs, but he since removed that from his comment.
They do make masks that can significantly filter an airborne virus out of the air you breathe, but they aren't cloth, and they have to be fitted tightly to your face so air cannot leak in and out around the sides of the mask.

>Studies that have been done show that if an individual might get infected within 15 minutes in a room, by time and concentration of the virus in the room, add a face cloth covering you only get about five more minutes of protection.

On the other hand if you use the n95 respirators and fit them tight to your face, you can actually spend 25 hours in that same room and still be protected.
