Most of you don’t remember, but way back when, ad money was crazy when no one knew how to advertise online. Banner ads could get $2 a click. It collapsed around mid year 2000. I see the same happening here.

A lot of this stuff is shielded. Their biggest weakness is command takeover, where some form of injection attack can give you the unit, especially when they’re AI-based. I’m sure there’s plenty of research on this and the money won’t be considered necessary to plug the holes making impossible.

- Comment on Texas Attracted California Techies. Now It’s Losing Thousands of Them. 3 weeks ago:
I feel part of the confusion may be thinking california has a flat tax? It has tax brackets, which increase the percent as you make more.
- Comment on Texas Attracted California Techies. Now It’s Losing Thousands of Them. 3 weeks ago:
Texas has a base sales tax of 6.25, which can be raised by local taxes up to 2%. So it is effectively 8.25% everywhere.
- Comment on Texas Attracted California Techies. Now It’s Losing Thousands of Them. 3 weeks ago:
It’s an odd argument, but I think it comes down to sales tax and property tax. Property tax is high in texas, and sales tax is 7% (not the highest in the nation, but high, and local sales tax can also run 1-2%). I think the theory is that you only pay so much sales tax in goods for one person, so it balances out california’s higher property taxes.
- Comment on If a universal basic income started today with the stipulation that you had to put 40 hrs/wk towards making the world a better place or solving societal problems, how would you spend your time? 3 weeks ago:
With proper filtration, it’s a good choice. It can keep us from burning more fossil fuels, and also keeps the land fills from producing methane (which is worse than co2).

Honestly I make well above what the UBI would pay, so I’d keep doing what I do. But I have dreams of investing in garbage-burning power plants in the US, and having some of you able to help with this makes it much more obtainable.

When they openly provide support to this unit from other funding, will you wag a finger once, or are we going for the extreme two wags of the finger?

- Comment on Guess I'll die 4 weeks ago:
I saw some rules like 30 years ago on survivor chances based on their behavior, I have trouble finding them but roughly it was:
Half of those who go unconscious but then wake up within an hour will survive
75% of those who vomit but stop within an hour will live, but 25% of those who cannot stop vomiting will live.
It went on into burn patients as well - it was data from the nuclear blasts in WW2. I remember it because years later when I did some medicine I realized the first one was brain injury and the second was intestinal radiation injury. If your intestines were sterilized you won’t be here much longer.

I agree with your statement, but I feel the intersection of this technology and capitalism is GATTACA. It simply makes sense to begin selecting the “good” genes, not only select against the bad ones. And what’s another $500 for blue eyes at that point?

It was pretty cool. I went with friends, and we got very drunk on a drink called a Warp Core Breach and then did the experience. I remember being impressed at the pacing and the acting of the members running the ride.
