Well population dynamics are pretty predictable for the next ~40 years or so.

The inputs are the number of people of childbearing age over that time period and the number of births per adult. We know the maximum number of people (since new people don't get born at ages above zero). The number of births per adult tends to change very very slowly and pretty predictably.

A population collapse would be caused by one or both of these things changing dramatically.

There's no evidence of this. Instead there is evidence of a slow decline in population as the birthrate (especially in Africa) slowly decreases.

> What evidence would you consider sufficient, besides globally falling birthrates?

Something that indicates that the current models showing a slow decline are wrong.
> Marxist terms like “redistribution in this context is giving value back to the workers who created that value”

The notion that created wealth is made by workers is not one that Marx credits to himself, but to another revolutionary - Benjamin Franklin.
You're using definitions of words that nobody else uses.
> If one of them is rude to me, then the quintessentially British approach of a faint frown and a tone of mild reproof (or its email analogue) generally gets good results – probably a lot better than mouthing off like a sweary 13-year-old in return.

You should understand that there's a hard limit of how much of it is usable. Get too much in, something will never again wake up. You can't be all-around immune, that's not how it works. Unless you alter how it works, you won't ever be.
This is exactly what NFT sellers do. Hyping their investments up to make as if it is 'one of a kind' and scarce. I think lots of other people had Musk reply to them as well at some point.

I don't know who would own this since normally, users on OpenSea buy NFTs from 'verified' users or groups.

If Musk was verified on OpenSea and started selling NFTs then that would be a different story; OpenSea would probably crash with high demand and bidding wars skyrocketing.

He probably knows that it would happen, hence why he is not there.
This is one of those weird little details that pretty much doesn't matter, because you just try both, and you do that every time, and it's fine. Maybe knowing the difference saves you 15 seconds.

I had an aha moment a little while ago when I realized "justify-content" works like the "justify" buttons in Google Docs/other word processors -- left/center/right. It's not a perfect parallel, since justify-content changes its meaning if the flex-direction changes, but it matches with the default behavior.
If decay has already set in the threat has likely either passed or isn’t something worth having a fight or flight reflex over (like toxic food or vapors).

It’s likely just a natural process that’s useful in specific contexts (caretaking for babies) and doesn’t really affect fitness in other contexts enough to get selected out.
Sure sure, but my point was really that all nitpicking aside, Open Source is everywhere. Given the opportunity, engineers everywhere will share their work with others and build on that shared work to do more stuff, then share it.

An argument from a frame of "Open Source only succeeded because ..." just seems obviously wrong to me. If not ITS then Unix. If not BSD then Linux. If not Mosaic then Chrome. If not gcc then clang. On and on. Opportunities for success are everywhere, nowhere is a critical path. Take any hero out of equation and there's someone else standing behind her to repeat the work.

They are an underdog in some respects, but data center and cloud computing is not one of them.
I recently rented a car from a similarly well-known company. When I went to return it, the location was completely abandoned. No attendant in the lot, no staff in the office. I waited with other customers for 30 minutes before I finally found a staff member walking through the parking lot, who said I could just leave the keys on the dashboard and go. I had assumed there’d be some sort of more official checkout process, but was tired enough after driving all day to just accept it.

Sure enough, I got an email two days later saying the car had never been returned. I explained the situation to customer service on the phone, who mostly chided me on not getting a receipt after returning (difficult to do when no one is working there).

At the time I joked with friends that the rental company was going to have me arrested for car theft. Luckily I just got an email receipt from them over a week later without comment. Guess it could have gone a lot worse.

The point of #5 is that in a number of other countries, people believe that taxes should pay for the social services required by the unfortunate, the sick, the indigent, and so forth. Charity plays a minor role, because it is the job of the state to take care of its citizens.

But that's just it - Riot's anti-cheat gets far fewer warnings than FOSS software, because MS has tilted the system to favor corporate entities willing to pay MS for certificates.

If a "trusted developer" is one of the heuristics, then any kind of honest anti-virus should trust major free software developers/apps to at least the same degree as someone like Adobe or Riot.

The audacity of saying this:

You may have heard that it’s no big deal to port your code from one architecture to another. However, porting takes time and money. It’s a complicated, intense process. Plus, ARM doesn’t run every software program out there, so when you’re ready to add new functionality from Intel, you’ll be stuck with the limitation of ARM and the long-term cost and hassle of managing multiple code bases.

Then turning around and fabbing riscv cores is pretty sickening. If I was at SiFive I would be unenthusiastic about having Intel as a partner.

I've always thought the Internet Archive should evolve into a streaming service, available through Roku/Amazon Prime/etc. (If they had the same interface as Netflix, with curated movies hyped at the top of the menus...it might attract an audience, especially if it was free.)

If Mark Cuban sent me a text saying "hey", I'm not going to list it at Sotheby's and claim that it's some meta-statement on venture capitalism and humanity. I think Jack Dorsey selling his first tweet is also dumb, but comparing it to artwork? It's ridiculous. Art has aesthetic value. A hash of a screenshot of a random tweet is nothing, it's the equivalent of picking up a piece of shattered pavement and trying to derive higher meaning to the highest bidder.

One thing that got a bit lost in all of this is that "BLM" stands for two things...

1. A literal phrase that's not very controversial on its own, which many automatically agreed with and stood by.

2. An organization with its own motives and agenda, which enjoyed a period of automatic support as a side-effect.

Most of the outpouring of support was likely for the phrase, whereas much of the pushback was likely against the organization. Not sure where all of this stands now, since its left the news cycle.

Couldn't there be 1:1 replacement of pretty much everything in the human body? Organs, bad/old cells for good/new ones...etc?

Nanobots at some point may be able to essentially destroy bad/old cells, and maybe feed/nourish good cells we want to keep, and when cells can't divide anymore, could those be replaced with ones that could ?

I think back to the movie Bicentennial man, where he made completely real working human / robot interchangeable parts that basically allow for increased life and better health. Sure it's a movie, but we can 3d print organs and things, so it's not outside the realm of possibility...
This kind of complaint is usually made by people who haven't lived in other, more socialist first world countries, for example in Europe. If you would have the chance to do so, you would realize how bad it is in Europe when you're stocking shelves or driving a taxi.
What happens if your parents are first cousins? You don’t have as many ancestors as the article assumes. And it’s only now that people are so connected that such a situation can arise, but earlier people used to marry mostly within their local communities, so each spouse would share many of the same ancestors as the other.
I'm not sure I understand all of your response. I'm not saying that UN link is some kind of perfect thing, just a place to start. For example, what that UN link shows as Article 1:
All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood.

Is that really something conflicts with a lot of cultures and religions?

If we do not have some basis by which we act toward each other as humans then anything goes, and you can justify that anything with culture or religion or aliens or whatever it doesn't really matter. On some level we as humans all have the same basic needs like food, water, and shelter, independent of culture and religion.

> No, I'm saying that there's always going to be some level of wealth that's difficult to achieve.

Social mobility isn’t really about the “difficulty” of achieving any particular level of wealth. It’s about how many people who start at some lower level of wealth achieve some higher level of wealth. Income inequality is also not really about the “difficulty” of something. It’s not exactly “difficult” to inherit the wealth of the wealthiest person in the world, either, but it obviously can only happen to a very small number of people in the world.

I grew up in country that spent 40 years ravaged by socialism, so capitalism certainly feels like an upgrade.

We as a society, have yet to figure out how to work around human greed and a need for status. Capitalism offers transparent and relatively productive ways of pursuing them.

I often talk about systems for persons and systems for people. Capitalism is a good system for people. Individual persons should find individual goals separate from the capitalistic system at large. If not capitalism, then what....is a common retort, but it makes sense.

Capitalism is the current of the river. While it incentivizes you to row downstream, you are also free to row where you see fit. Albeit with varying levels of difficulty.
This is described in the article, see “pedigree collapse” therein.
One reason is because it's almost impossible to prevent extremely wealthy people from having undue influence on politics. Another reason would be that most rich people don't allocate capital in a way that's good for society. Some do, most don't. We tend to hear about the ones that do.

Successfully failed? How is this any different except that there is no auction involved?

> In the extremely unlikely scenario this project fails, all the money will be reinvested into the Earth's economy in some way.

Basically a Rug pull.

I think I will just burst out laughing if someone got scammed over this joke DAO which is DOA at first sight.
Because if Amazon had adopted Cavium or Ampere, it wouldn't have fundamentally changed their strategic outlook. Different, cheaper supplier, but still a supplier.

The Dark Side of 15-Minute Grocery Delivery
The trades are oversold in the US. Many of them are physically demanding if not dangerous. Many of them are dominated by smaller businesses that are practically exempt from labor law enforcement. Many are strongly dependent on the housing cycle. Since many of those businesses are also family-owned, a person without the right connections can face an uphill battle getting a decent job.

I believe that the opioid epidemic started out as a pain epidemic, with a population of people suffering chronic pain that they acquired from their jobs. I've hired people to work at my house, and the ones who are my age tend to be hobbling and broken.

I'd be more enthusiastic about the trades if I lived in a country with better unions, labor laws, health care, and safety net.

Now, some of the better trades are medicine and nursing related. Those tend to be indoors, in a better regulated workplace. Or computer programming.

What do you think about mega corps in Europe? VW, Siemens, etc?

I was just trying to get some perspective, so thanks! I’d like US to adopt some of the EU bits but without losing the entrepreneural drive and atmosphere. I believe some of them are mutually-exclusive.

Also worth noting corporate policies in EU:

> Sometimes European integration is a byproduct of American policy. Stubbornly national elements of policymaking, such as corporation tax, are slowly being mangled into EU matters thanks to American action. A recent American-led push to set a global minimum tax rate for big business has done more to shunt the EU towards a common tax policy than years of nagging and legal tricks by Brussels. Within the EU, low-tax countries such as Ireland and Hungary wield a veto on its tax affairs. Diplomatic force majeure by America overcame that.
