I didn't make the original analogy. I was just explaining part of the point.

I disagree with the number 100. It is not a reasonable number with respect to current AI capabilities.

If the cost of digging ditches goes down, companies will be apt to dig more ditches. I've seen many projects worth $100k-$500k but they weren't pursued because the cost in salaries was higher.

I don't think companies are generally well run to let go of unnecessary people efficiently. At least one place I've worked at had, by my estimates, $100m salary of unnecessary people employed. It didn't matter, the business has revenues of $100b yearly, so it's a drop in the bucket.
He actually provides the solution quite explicitly in several of his videos: Tax non-moveable assets of the ultra-rich, i.e. real estate.

His theory (which sounds plausible to me) is that a lot of the wealth of the ultra rich is actually bound up or linked to immovable assets. At the same time, investments in these assets is what makes them unaffordable for everyone else (i.e. your kids won't be able to buy a house anywhere in the country, despite them earning more after adjusting for consumer goods inflation).

By taxing large real estate wealth accumulation (think personal wealth in the tens or hundreds of millions and up), you get the best of both worlds: The (ultra) rich who want to stay invested have to pay your taxes (they can't move real estate to a tax haven) and thus transfer part of their wealth back to society. And if they divest from real estate, it puts downward pressure on real estate prices, thus making it more affordable for the rest of us. Win-win, from a society's perspective.

> Whoever has billions does not affect me having running water in faucets and me enjoying life.

Whether or not people are in subsistence poverty is not the only measure of a functioning society. It's great that extreme poverty is going down, but let's not declare Mission Accomplished just yet. The existence of billionaires might not affect your running water, but it does distort the market and negatively affect how much everything around you costs, from housing to healthcare to groceries. The existence of billionaires also affects your share of power in democracy. A billionaire is right now, running amok, griefing workers and tearing down institutions. All because his billions bought him the power to do that.

He's acting like this because he campaigned on "government bad". Not any specific bit of it: all of it.

It is often theorized that he's doing this on behalf of some foreign power. That seems unlikely, and more to the point, uninformative. He was democratically elected: a plurality of voters wanted this outcome. He still has wide support among them.

It is true that foreign powers have been spreading propaganda in his favor, and the result is a weakening of the country. But that's not the result of one person betraying the nation. It's the result of American beliefs about what their nation is and should be.

This is what would happen if the Horse Carriage producers had lobbies with enough power and money back when automobiles were invented. They would illegitimately push rules, regulations and coerce the public to cripple cars for their profit and fight against change. Like how the real estate lobbies are doing at this moment. They are akin to horse carriage lobbies and they should be treated as the parasitic, unproductive, reactionary influence that they are on society - without even getting into the bloat in the real estate sector and how it cripples housing.

>The same argument often comes up in "Being vegetarian": my personal choice won't solve animal welfare or carbon emissions of food production. But all the vegetarians in the world do make a large difference.

Here's how I think about it.

You reducing carbon emissions by reducing your agri footprint by going vegan is an improvement over the alternative even if I wouldn't.
Everyone doing this is a major improvement over the alternative.

Me not using tarps, pesticides, not using synthetic fertilizers and caring about runoff, etc and being a backyard farmer rather than having a lawn in this endless suburb like i'm already doing is an improvement over the alternative. (even tho i need more time and land to cover most of my carbs and a bit more than some quail too)

But spreading out 8 billion people and making everyone backyard farmers is probably an ecological disaster.

Ah, ok, I was trying to figure out what the difference is between this case and the thousands of lies that other right-wing figures tell every day, and maybe it's this: never admit that you lied! Or of course it could be that the others have better lawyers, deeper pockets, better connections etc. etc.

OTOH of course, you can't be sued just for lying. For instance, who is going to sue Trump for lying about the amount of US aid for Ukraine (it's not 300 or 350 billion, "just" 119 billion), about it being "given away", and about the US being the biggest donor (the EU has spent 138 billion)? Maybe Joe Biden?

>That's the kind of damage one could expect from the responsible of the school shooting itself.

I don't know, ginning up mobs to harass the families who just lost their kids is probably the next worst thing. Moral responsibility involves a combination of harm and awareness of what one is doing. I would be profoundly disappointed if someone could go this far and still not qualify for maximum punitive damages.
Sure, it was a civil trial - but a judge signed off on the amount, and the jury’s decision, even though historically in any other case, such an amount would have been overruled.

In which case, the closest equivalent would be if a civilian claimed they inhaled Marijuana smoke, therefore, $20 million. With the judge adding $10 million as a deterrent.

Also, the judge imposed $473 million of it. That’s entirely on the court.

Punitive damages are hardly overreach. Here's some light reading:

TL;DR:
Punitive damages are used as a supplementary sanction in exceptional cases where
compensatory damages do not provide sufficient levels of deterrence and
retribution.

It can clear the bar for exceptional without falling into the equivalent of “infinite damages”. $100 million is substantially less deterring than $1 billion?

I'm not sure it's exactly a legal exploit. As I understand it, part of the purpose of this sort of suit is to prevent the person being sued from continuing to defame the victims. Therefore, the penalty is set at what is likely to accomplish that. However, in this case, the only penalty likely to stop Jones is one large enough to put him out of business.

We do not know if spacetime is quantized or not, and there are theories claiming that it is (LQG etc). And sure, we don't have a coherent "theory of everything" that includes quantized spacetime, and the models that we do have are contradictory if spacetime is quantized. But we already know that those models are deficient.
I just had a look at the trailer, and I'm trying not to poo on it's parade, but this thing looks... disappointing - worse than most in-game cut-scenes these days. It doesn't even feel "Artistic", and I'm definitely not a snob for "hyper realistic" types of looks.

The distant and "landscape" views look very nice, and in stark contrast to the game-like and amateur rendering of close up scenes with the animals. They don't even have anti-aliasing and the things look "blocky".

I hope this thing won because of the story and characters, and not its visuals.
I am not implying in any way that Ukrainians are brainwashed. The main weapon that the US uses against geopolitical adversaries is to take some organic issue, the sort which exist in every single country (including the US), and exploit it as much as possible to try to turn a small spark into a blazing inferno. If we didn't need to have McCain go speak in Ukraine to keep that fire burning - we wouldn't have. The optics are bad, it makes a mockery of any notion of not meddling in other democracies, and you can no longer dismiss direct involvement as just some conspiracy, as you initially tried to.

The reasons countries don't want geopolitical adversaries on their doorstep is because superpowers have an unspoken (well.. sometimes spoken [1]) 'sphere of influence' that is not to be touched. If Mexico signed a military agreement with Russia that involved them establishing forces there - we would be invading imminently. In fact this is exactly what the Cuban Missile Crisis [2] was about. Ukraine (and Taiwan) are not even just proxy wars between the US and Russia/China, but rather they're a proxy war against hegemony. Does the US have the right to setup right on Russia's front door? How about China's?

So the one thing I would agree with you is that indeed - the world remains one of the strong picking on the weak. And the last place you ever want to be is caught in the middle of a turf war between two giants. The world would be vastly better for everybody if those giants instead existed in collaboration, or at least healthy competition. One trying to dominate the other is only likely to hurt those caught in the middle. Because if the two giants ever came to unrestrained blows, the entire world would burn.

I went to a CeX recently and they have a bunch of Xbox 360 Kinects laying around for 8 euros. Even my hometown which doesn't have a lot of tech stores, has Xbox 360 Kinects laying around at some mall shops for pretty cheap. I can go out and buy one today for cheaper than a meal out, and make use of the wide software made for it by the Kinect community, and I know exactly what to expect in terms of its capabilities. Same can't be said for any of the other sensors, which are also low enough volume that if they get discontinued you'll probably have an even harder time sourcing them than a 360 Kinect discontinued 10 years ago

Fracking has nothing to do with horizontal drilling. Fracking is used to increase the connectivity of the reservoir to the wellbore, in the case of low permeability reservoir. For geothermal applications there is no reason to pick the low perm and increase the cost of well completion.

Horizontal directional drilling is a very established field, which is very technologically intensive and some of the things we can do in this area are nothing short of amazing. Basically any trajectory can be executed, including some smart things like underground loops. Couple this with electric submersible pumps (ESP), which help to increase the flow and potentially run water through several cycles to maximize the contact with hot payzone before getting it to surface and you can do many interesting things.

> I've seen this case a bunch of times but I can never wrap my head around how the judge arrived at the 1.5 Billion dollars, because Alex Jones falsely claimed the school shooting was staged. How did that claim cause 1.5 Billion, with a B, in damages to the victims?

The nearly $1.5 billion consists of nearly $1 billion in actual damages found by the jury, which you can look up the amounts and kinds of actual damages they found for each individual plaintiff in the case relatively easily, plus $473 million in punitive damages assigned by the judge (punitive damages are not compensation for harms caused to the victims.)

It sounds like you’ve seen the headline of the approximate damage award many times, but never even read any of the information about it.
The problem with the v2, from someone who had a boss that loved the kinect and used it in retail environments experimentally wasn't the new tech. The new tech was/is amazing. The level of detail you can get from the v2 dwarfs the v1 on every axis.

The problem was that it ONLY had a windows SDK and most of the people who did amazing work outside of games and the xbox with the kinect v1 were using it with macs and linux in tools like openframeworks and processing. The v1 was developed outside microsoft and primesense and there were SDKs that were compatible cross platform. Tons of artists dove right in.

The KinectV2 only offered a windows sdk, and that's what killed it in the 'secondary market'.
