I agree, gotta end local control though

I can’t if it’s serious but it the article they say it would have blocked access to art, which is really just a few holes in the ground

I dunno, the appeal of localism is that getting angry and showing up to meetings actually works, unlike other politics

Not ruling this out, but you may be underestimating true nimbyism

I like it. A critique might be it doesn't apply to renters. Just mailing checks is dumber, but it may have a more direct psychological influence.

I love this idea. just give locals an appropriate financial benefit, plenty of stuff will get built

Weirdly one of the biggest roadblocks is overcoming nimbyism and local control. Look at why the potentially biggest solar far was cancelled.

Dropping and adding a phosphate is not the same a recycling a whole molecule

would have been nice to have this during the wow! signal

I can resurrect Martha's Vineyard

Did you throw the fackin lobstahpot off the friggen ferry at Aquidneck agen?

about halfway there

UBI generally addresses this but the issue may be how to fund it.

It makes sense to tax something if it creates a negative externalty, or a cost on society outside the market transaction. So if you buy a gallon of oil, theres a societal cost of burning it, which makes sense to tax.

So whats the cost of automation, maybe a general sense of dread, lack of job security, maybe security concerns. If there is something there, then I'd favor a tax, otherwise UBI ftw

I’d love to watch a huge ground sloth just nomming down like cados like blueberries

I think the word is racist, no?

pretty interesting looking when flying in

not sure about that, but could test it by telling chatgpt to convince a new user that they are a human in a closed off room communicating by text. I think it would convince a lot of unsuspecting people

I actually have no idea if its still a thing, but yea I agree, mostly an issue of dermal-actuator interfacing

It’s very hard to loop in one person into bad outcomes in a hospital system with team based care. These systems are very good at obscuring and limiting liability. I personally am not thrilled about people faking credentials who are direct responsibility for others health.

Why is that your conclusion? Don’t you want your relatives cared for by someone who is educated in the field?

There’s an in person component to step 2 which I doubt it can pass without a physical form

It’s only popular because it’s free now. If they paywall it people will move elsewhere. Every major tech company is working on something similar, it’s it not there now, they will catch up in a few months / years

The US military is the world's number one polluter as a single organization and has more pollution than several first world countries. Not sure this will help. Oh well

Actually? Cause that’s almost creepier

That's good. Its also just you have to have it Rx'd very early on in flu symptoms, when most people think its just a cold or haven't got to the doctor yet

And it’s still impossible to get Tamiflu

I was listening to Boston Public Radio and there was someone telling the hosts how to address them, ‘you can them ‘your royal highness or [blah, blah]” I was thinking we won the dang revolutionary war we don’t have to call them anything special
