I think its just modern culture.

* Many want to be landlords and leech off others, not providing any real value other than buying up a house and renting it out that someone else could of bought.

* The ladder is being pulled up from older generations that benefited from low cost college (that was financed by higher state taxes - which no longer exists) and now dont want to pay taxes to fund the younger generation.

* No one links to other sites, because we see everyone as competition.

* We don't trust each other or even like each other for the most part in the US.

* Hell even the pandemic proved that really one's freedom comes before the idea of even giving a damn if someone else got sick that might of had preexisting conditions.

I'm not sure if its hyper-capitalism or hyper-individualism.

Maybe its all related to knowing that our government isn't going to help you and is working on ways to make things harder unless you are one of the elites.

That being said, many people on youtube create channels full of information, sure many end up promoting garbage and some are loaded with worthless filter or clickbait titles/images, but the amount of things you can learn today for free is quite amazing, topics that just weren't covered before.
Using an iPhone is exactly the same as a builtin Android rom, it's all powers to the manufacturer and you are just giving up on privacy and control on your phone.

If you switch because you like the design better than the other one why not but otherwise I don't see much compromise here.

I'm aware that the solutions with better privacy aren't exactly simple yeah.

Private property has never really been exclusive. This isn't a new line that is being crossed.

"Owning" land gives you some rights over it, but not exclusive ones. It doesn't even give you exclusive right to access the land. People can temporarily access the land for a variety of legal and valid reasons like utility work, police investigations, sales, surveys, etc. They can even permanently access the land through easements.

Right to Roam isn't saying that you don't have property rights, it is just providing another limited exception to an already long list. It is saying that people have the right to enter your unimproved land for the purpose of crossing it in a way that does not interfere with the property owner's other rights. In some places it also includes the right to temporarily sleep on the land.

There is no 'material requirement' to being a human that requires that if you own a large piece of unimproved land, people cannot peacefully walk across the parts you aren't using.
I have some questions:

1. When they say "70% of the universe is made up of dark energy, the rest is matter and dark matter", in what sense is the universe "made up" of those things? Or, perhaps, what is the "universe" that is made up of those things? If dark energy is this cosmological constant, in what sense does it "make up" 70% of the universe?

2. If the value of w is changing, and w is this cosmological constant that is dark energy (I'm probably not using the right words here), and dark energy is part of what makes up the sum total of the universe, did the decrease in dark energy go somewhere? Did it show up as an increase of something else? If so, what?

3. If w is changing over time, even if very slowly, should we suspect that other things might also be changing? The speed of light? The fine structure constant? For that matter, if w changes, does that require something else to change as a cause?

4. How did w change? Was it a step function, a corner (discontinuous first derivative), or a smooth change? Is it now constant, or is it continuing to decrease? (Yeah, I know - we just discovered this at all, I'm almost certainly asking for more precision than we have data for yet...)

No such claim was reported in this article.

I suspect no such claim was made.
Soviet citizens were always at the mercy of central planners deciding if they got to enjoy any innovations (mostly aped from the west). Toasters only started production in 1967 and were mostly unobtanium for the next 25 years.
The enshittification of the Internet? Search results overrun with SEO, internet-connected dishwashers, toxic social media full of dark patterns, discarded Juuls littering the streets, ads on paid streaming services that cut half their content because of mergers, meanwhile the planet is burning.

Yes, there's a burgeoning middle class of engineers who design those Juul pods and build those ad networks, but imagine if all those people were hard at work engineering desalination plants and better batteries. Imagine if that paid better.
Not a lawyer, but an important part of why those lawsuits can happen is under the idea that you invited someone onto your property, therefore, you have a duty to ensure they're safe when they accept that invitation. Places open to anyone, like a restaurant or grocery store, have an implied invitation because they want everyone to come inside and spend money.

So if someone jumps your fence and breaks their leg walking through your property, you didn't invite them there, you aren't intending your land to be open to the public, so the onus would theoretically be on the traveler to cover their own bills.

They could sue anyway, sure. But they can do that right now without any legal changes anyway, it would just be under well established law and they likely wouldn't win.

Thanks for sharing. I completely disagree with their rationale and decision but it’s good to know about the precedent here. I’d be completely on Ford’s side here too!

I would not be surprised to see that precedent overturned at some point because its outcome seems to deny individuals the right to profit from their own abilities, just because they happen to sound like a famous person.
In general there are far more restrictions in National Parks than in national forests than on BLM land.

There are some restrictions but really very few in the latter two categories.

The old phones won't work because they cannot connect to modern networks. The hardware of the phone itself is the issue.

However, there are still phones that are just for texting and calling, previously these were referred to as feature phones or basic phones. For example, the Orbic Journey or TCL Flip. As far as I know these all run Android now but lack the ability to install apps and have small screens.
That actually blows my mind of stereotypes. The germans are memed to be very rigid and mechanical while the french are memed to have a pliable relationship with time. So putting the french in charge of the memed concept of trains must run on time is just wrecking everything for me.
TL;DR:
It’s fun—a macabre sort of fun—this parlor game of “Who Goes Nazi?” And it simplifies things—asking the question in regard to specific personalities.

Kind, good, happy, gentlemanly, secure people never go Nazi. They may be the gentle philosopher whose name is in the Blue Book, or Bill from City College to whom democracy gave a chance to design airplanes—you’ll never make Nazis out of them. But the frustrated and humiliated intellectual, the rich and scared speculator, the spoiled son, the labor tyrant, the fellow who has achieved success by smelling out the wind of success—they would all go Nazi in a crisis.

Believe me, nice people don’t go Nazi. Their race, color, creed, or social condition is not the criterion. It is something in them.

Those who haven’t anything in them to tell them what they like and what they don’t—whether it is breeding, or happiness, or wisdom, or a code, however old-fashioned or however modern, go Nazi. It’s an amusing game. Try it at the next big party you go to.
This sounds like the Norwegian right to roam (allemannsretten) with a few modifications.

You can camp/roam in non farm/garden land, but not closer than 150 meters to a house/cabin.

Time limit pr spot is 2 days.

Some areas are restricted for environmental reasons like restriction on camp fires certain times in the year.

You can harvest wild berries and fish.

You are expected to be considerate to the environment and people.

I always figured it was Bari Weiss. Still do. She released an interview with Altman in May of 2023 and Sky was released in September 2023 as far as I know.

Given that connection, I think it's plausible. They have a similar voice and given Bari's experience in podcasting could be a sensible choice if OpenAI wanted Scarlett but couldn't make it happen.
> Anything that requires an ongoing subscription fee is dead in the water. The only reason those stupid smartboards took off is because they make school boards look cool, they are a one time cost, and can be paid for with bonds (because they are a one time cost).

Bonds take a one-time cost and turn it into a recurring cost (like a subscription) that is paid in installments over time. It's baffling that that it's easier to do that than just having a subscription in the first place.
I held this view for a while after growing up in Illinois.

But I think Americans are a bit different in the scales and the distances that they deal with compared to other countries. And those differences lead to cultural isolation depending on where you draw "culture" lines. I think you find a similar inward facing mindset everywhere, but not every geography is as connected as the countries Americans gets contrasted with.

Some cultures are closer together, temporally and geographically, than others.

America is huge and young. In Europe, for example, you can drive for a few hours and end up in another culture with deep history. Those countries are also connected by land routes to world powers.

The first time I left the U.S., I was ~20. I traveled with an international team. My coworker was German and he couldn't wrap his head around the fact that I'd never left the U.S. He shared a story about his childhood where they all hopped in the station wagon and drove to France. I said: "Yeah, my family did the same thing. But we went to Missouri."

By road, Berlin to Moscow is closer than Denver to NYC.

The Americans in the Midwest often know a bit of Spanish, are somewhat familiar with major events in Mexico and Canada, etc. And they are super in-tune with the cultures and politics of other states in the U.S.

Like-for-like, I'd compare American cultural knowledge of other states in the union (i.e. Louisiana, Kentucky, New Jersey, etc.) to the knowledge of other countries for someone living in Europe.

I agree with you that the American Government is not benign. I think Americans solving the American Government is one of the most pressing issues of our generation, not just from an inwardly facing American perspective but because of the outward damage this country is actively doing around the world. I have a lot of thoughts there that I'd dig deeper into in another context. In my opinion the state of the U.S. Government has more to do with the rise of crony capitalism and the failings of first-past-the-post voting than the conversation we are having here.
This kind of comparison always neglects to consider the fact that any given European country is much smaller and much more homogeneous than the US. Which US state are you comparing to?

Using the Human Development Index (HDI) as a passable proxy for standard of living:

Mississippi has an HDI of 0.866, about the same as Portugal and somewhat higher than Bulgaria (the lowest HDI in the EU) at 0.799.

Massachusetts has an HDI of 0.949, which is about the same as Germany and only a tiny bit lower than #1 Switzerland's 0.967.

In other words: both Europe and the US span a wide range of HDI scores, but the European Union has a wider range in both directions. Europe is both better and worse than the US, depending on where in Europe and where in the US you're talking about.

I suspect several of your examples are very likely the result of I18N considerations. Some alphabets/ideographic languages are denser than others. So text areas are set for the compact-est common denominator, and icons are unlabeled for similar reasons.

> If we're constructing hypotheticals around potential bad behavior by unknown actors, spice it up a bit!

> I've gotten belligerent with folks crossing my yard to get to the municipal bus stop on my property

So you want people to come up with unlikely reasons, then immediately turn around and deliver your own "dull beyond belief" example? Have you considered that other people's "hypotheticals" are also "boring" because those are the things they're actually worried about?
> I tend to think the punitive impulse typically doesn't do that

Well when it comes to companies the punishment and deterrent should be monetary damages that will effectively make the undesirable behavior unprofitable and thus discourage it in the future.

But we're not doing that, setting the standard that antisocial behavior is acceptable (and rewarded by the market by being more profitable than acting honestly), thus it is no surprise that the little guys have a go at it (and guess what, since we're not punishing that either, there is no downside to doing it repeatedly).
Is their cloaking policy still active? Felt like they enforced it at the beginning, but when big sites started using the same dark patterns, they stopped? If it’s an official policy still, would love to hear why they selectively enforce it.
He also lies and gives wrong information on twitter about other companies. So not a honest or good person. No point listening to whatever he say.
> So saying property rights are bogus, but body autonomy rights are ok seems like an arbitrary line to draw that makes society worse.

That seems obviously wrong to me. I can imagine a world without private land ownership that still grants people rights to privacy and autonomy in their home, even grants the privilege of open space around some of their homes (but since this is my imaginary world, ugly monocultured lawns aren't allowed).

The benefits of such a world are that wealth is less arbitrarily concentrated, that municipalities can own the land they govern, that cities and states have the ability to adapt to changing populations without running into private land barriers at every turn. Like in all things, it would be a balance, just as today we have a balance (albeit an extremely lopsided one) between individual rights and governments rights. Eminent domain exists, so the right of an individual person to permanently own a slice of the Earth and keep or grow or ruin it for future generations is already not absolute.

Sadly, "it successfully flies" is quite different from "it is a reliable second source, over time".
To use an analogy: In the US there are fair use exemptions to intellectual property rights. That doesn't mean there's no such thing as intellectual property, or that it's meaningless.

The right to roam in some other countries is a fair use exemption to land ownership rights. That doesn't mean there's no such thing as land ownership, or that it's meaningless.
I frankly don't even know what Twitter is for anymore, if not abusing the augur of public consciousness.

If you are a notable person and I have video of you kicking a puppy, and I publish it because you are a notable person and kicking a puppy is wrong, what would damage your reputation is kicking a puppy. Not me publishing it.

This act of expanding the definition of propaganda to include the simple publication of harsh critical journalism is unbecoming.

> If you weaken respect and protection for land ownership then, rationally, you weaken the recognition of all property rights from food to clothing to musical instruments to your tech devices.

there's a fallacy of scale here, in the same way a handgun isn't the same as a nuclear weapon, and so should probably have different provisions applied to it. land is vastly more useful, and usable, than someone's shirt or ipad. multiple people can enjoy a stream, or a forest, or even a singular tree on a piece of land at the same time, and in a multitude of ways. that's not true of an ipad or shirt. this diversity and simultaneity of use puts land in a different class. severing tight coupling of personal property(like shirts and ipads) with private property(land, generally structures on land, though the latter is admittedly more contestable), is pretty useful and seems totally rational to me. it seems less rational to think weakening one would weaken the other. If anything, the distinction between personal and private property opens up new ways of thinking about property that can lead to agreeable outcomes. more generally, see also the benefits of the commons - https://www.nature.com/articles/340091a0

that said i'm with you in certain respects, i generally like solitude personally, but though i dream of having ten or so acres myself, i don't want to deprive anyone else of thoughtfully, carefully, and temporarily enjoying it either.
And in addition, the Kodak DCS was the first digital SLR. (Basically a Nikon with a digital sensor strapped on). But, it was insanely expensive, adopted for limited applications.

It is true that Kodak lost an opportunity to be a 'first mover' in consumer digital cameras. Would it have made much difference in the long run? probably not.
The law could easily include a liability disclaimer. People just don't like other people, want their privacy, and want their "I got mine" land locked public lands.
I have some land in SE Oklahoma the going rule that I’ve been told is if you cross an open gate leave it open and if you cross a closed gate close it behind you. However, I still make it a point to meet and shake hands with the owners of the land I cross. I live in Texas and, especially near the border with Mexico, you’re putting your life in danger trespassing on land, no matter how remote, without permission.
