The post really covering the important topics as per usual

I'm going to ahead and ignore this, although I appreciate the post and fully appreciate the magnitude of the climate-based disaster we are steaming into. It's just too much to get bad news on a weekly scale now.

Reading this is so bizarre - take on China? The US is so fractured we couldn’t take on Zimbabwe right now. Remember “rather be a Russian than a democrat”? The post- cold-war era of dominance is way in the rear view mirror.

I would love to know as well, although I think the answer will paint a terrifying/depressing picture of how most people view this existential threat

> How can we reduce emissions from the rich?

How can we reduce the hunger of the spider? - the fly

How is it looking for the climate-specific portions of the bill

That's a good point. My counter to this (not saying I endorse this) is that Tesla has redefined what people's expectations of a SDC are, both in terms of safety and capability (neither in a positive sense IMO). So "self-driving" has become more of a fluid concept than maybe you/I would envision.

Technology probably, but product I would say no. I prefer the cautious option, but the general perception (dangerous word to use in this context) of an autonomy product is driven by Tesla, not Waymo.

Total supply is like 40B, so this wallet owns 12%?? Also this was back in April - the google-trend search is interesting:

In a perverse way, I wonder if there is a first-mover disadvantage for Tesla. Wonder if someone could draft in the wake of their approach, and come out without so many scars.

I enjoy Lex, although I have been listening less over time. However, the Wolfram/fridman combination makes me envy the deaf.

I think it’s probably more that Facebook is an insatiable force that will end up bringing an end to western liberal democracy. That and the “smoking meats” video.

> "He kept telling me, 'Don't take it. Don't take it.' And I said, 'Really?' And I kept questioning it, and He kept coming back with, 'Yeah, don't take it,'" she says.

Not at all how I pictured God sounding, but there you go

> It is impossible to test all hardware configs in all conditions with internal QA, hence public beta.

10k to be a beta tester

This was surprising to me, in that SF is such a large participant.

Just such a unique, rare name though.

Admirable, and about 40years too late

What are the chances of finding someone with the name Brandon though??

This article is fascinating, and surprising:

> Ms. Hart said she gets the flu shot every year and is up-to-date on all her other vaccines.

This is why you cannot argue with/convince these people. Logic is not required, and hypocrisy actively encouraged.

> She submitted what she called a “very half-assed religious exemption” to keep her job.

Buffoonery.

This was actually illuminating

Ok - can someone explain to me how this is funny? Use small words please, I want to understand

That’s a pretty good line IMO

anyone who thinks this is planned can never have been involved in any form of government

Where is law/government involved here?

Not sure about you, but I definitely have morals

Consider yourself lucky, soon they will be charging for pop ups

Emphasis here on “bit”

Um, not just heroin, also digital ownership of URLs as well

I wouldn’t classify floating point computation as deterministic
