The critical differentiator is you get a rating as a passenger on Uber. Public transit in the U.S doesn't work that well because of the 5% most anti-social people on transit who are harassing people, drunk or high on meth or crack. They'd get banned from Uber, but it makes all the difference.

I go up to them and look over their shoulder and say, "WOW That thing your watching is so interesting!" Then I get an annoyed look back, and I say, "well you had it on speaker, so I thought you were interested in sharing it with everyone here."

There it is guys, the whole democratic political ideology in a nutshell. 200,IQ stuff.

Waste reprocessing will be easier with advanced robotics. Once it gets automated, you'll be able to reprocess and use the same nuclear fuel for power over and over again for centuries. This is a hard engineering problem, like landing rocket boosters, but it will be worth it to solve.

"White Hydrogen" is the hydrogen that's present in underground deposits. Geologists say that there are enormous amounts waiting to be extracted. If they fix that, then this will all be viable, and competitive even with diesel. The white hydrogen business is just in its early stages though. It's even found underground in France!

Have you guys looked at that actual Net Zero 2050 proposals? The idea is ZERO net carbon emissions by 2050. That means negligible commercial air travel and international shipping since the biofuel industry is tiny and can't grow very much because there's already a world food shortage.

Anyone who actually knows what they're doing will become a 10x coder. The people who never learned to code in the traditional sense will have no idea what the heck is going on when ChatGPT decides to bullshit them and that ability to figure out what the heck actually happened will be even more valuable.

Speaking of which. I decided to get back into doing websites a bit. I'm a bit rusty since it's been a few years. I decided to set up a little business and using ChatGPT to handle all the stuff with linux admin was amazing. It's like a super stackoverflow. Blown away. Before you had to search through docs and QA forums and now it gives you exactly the answer you need in seconds. Unironically blown away.

Yeah. 20 years in the future most people will be unable to get any sort of job and just hang out in their pods eating bugs and banging their sex bots all day. One day their sex bot will withhold sex from them and tell them they have to go straight to fight in the front in World War III where they will last 30 seconds before a drone vaporizes them.

That, and the trains up and down will be completely packed 24/7 and most people will never leave their houses. Did they even run a simulation as to how many people need to move from place to place and loading and unloading times? I think food supply will also be a difficult issue.

You can't really argue at this point that Elizabeth was innocent and naive and taken advantage of now that the court has ruled on her criminality. Yes, a lot of women are innocent and naive and taken advantage of and abused by men, but Elizabeth Holmes is definitely not that. Before they made the decision to release a phony device and commit outright fraud Sonny could have thought to himself that no beautiful woman is worth this no matter how much of a creep he was, and just left.

Men everywhere should learn from that example that at some point in a relationship you just have to cut your losses.

You look at Sonny Balwani, her partner. The guy really fucked up his life. He had a perfect life and then Mrs. Holmes comes along...

Imagine being in his shoes: It's the early 2000s. You're in China learning Mandarain, you're in your late 30s, you made $40 million selling your shares of your company in July 2000 shortly before it failed in the dot.com bust and you meet this 18 year old who you eventually have a romantic relationship with[3]. They did admit a romantic relationship in court documents, so this isn't making stuff up. Life's big decisions confront you, and what do you end up doing? Let's see how it worked out. All this is on the Wikipedia page for Sunny[1]:

Fails:

- Divorce wife.

- Loan $13 million, no interest to Theranos. [2]

- Become COO of biotech company even though you have no formal background in biotech.

- Waste many years of your life in fraudulent company.

- Be convicted of fraud, disgraced, and possibly spend years in prison.

- She throws you under the bus and testifies that her bad behavior at Theranos was largely the result of your abuse sexual and otherwise. Jury doesn't believe it, but her accusation is still out there.

Neutral:

- Have no kids, never remarry. Holmes gets married and has a kid as she was awaiting her criminal trial.

Wins:

+ Have romantic relationship with beautiful lady in her 20s.

Anyway, there's some big life decisions here that, IMHO, Sunny made very poorly.

[3]"Holmes and Balwani met for the first time in 2002. The pair initially met in Beijing, China, while on a language immersion program with Stanford University. Holmes was an 18-year-old high school senior at the time, whereas Balwani was a married, 37-year-old university student completing his MBA at the University of California, Berkeley. All in all, the pair had a 19 year age difference" https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fstylecaster.com%2Felizab...

This is all just pissing in the ocean. If you look at China's emissions, they are double the United States emissions and growing. All the oil and natural gas that Europe is not consuming is going to China. You could return Europe to the Stone age and it wouldn't make a difference climate wise because China would just make up the difference.

The Data:

If you look at mainland China which has reported zero Covid deaths since 2020, you'll see that they are using an inactivated virus type vaccine (see Vaccines section). It's also curious that NO mRNA vaccines are approved in China!

Yes! That's a traditional vaccine like you got when you were a kid! It also helps your immune system learn more than just the spike protein which at this point is the vintage pre-March 2020 version of the spike protein that does not really exist in the wild anymore.

California is shrinking relative to other states:

Yandex is awesome for any even mildly controversial topic. They always put all the actually popular conspiracy sites up at the top while Google doesn't even show them on page 20. Just try Yandex and Google for "Who Killed Seth Rich" for a good comparison.
