I had my phone going through DC collecting pings off everyone's android devices. Maybe I killed it who knows 🤷♂️

I forget the name now, years ago, but it was a browser api that could detect nearby iot devices. It was super cool, probably about to be too spammy or whatever. They never really announced it though, just let it starve until a few developers did their own thing.

I think it will play out the same way across all areas: the good and the smart adapt and evolve to make something greater than we've ever seen, while a bunch of lazy mofos make everyone look bad.

That is the way, yes. I once imagined starting a business around one of their experiments, very glad I didn't.

Innovation is usually the first to go, but for Google it's a surprising move.

There's too many possibilities in what he said to assume what you mean. I'll say though, tech interviews and recruiting in general is broken. I say this as a senior engineer, that generally we are not selecting properly for appropriate skills.

Ok I'm no physicist but why do we think space itself is fully contained within a bubble of what we can see? Isn't it silly to assume there's nothing outside our visible bubble when we always see more the further we look? How do we know it's space itself contracting and not just our portion of some much larger explosion?
I feel like maybe that's all explained well enough, but I also know scientists love to smell their own farts and word conjecture as fact.

Infinite age is implied, space, time.. spacetime.

We're like those people in the far future who can't see any stars after they all move so far apart. We just don't have the required information available to us. At this point I see no reason to accept either as truth, so I'll just assume it's infinite. An infinite universe is insanely exciting to contemplate.

Yeah, I live in an idyllic neighborhood of friendly families and decorated yards. I have to drive a bit before I hit ugly, but its there in strip malls etc.
Would be very interesting to see cities put money into architecture and measure change. That would be very hard to prove to the public though, as these types of benefits take multiple cycles to be measured.

Totally, many of the poor parts of cities were built for efficiency. How many Laundromats per block of tenement buildings, efficiency like you said. I agree.
I'd just add that it's pretty clearly split by household income. Like everything else in America it boils down to class warfare. Like Maslow's pyramid, basics first pretty last. The rich get pretty, the poor live in a factory.

You posted links with no commentary because the links don't really prove much, I assume.

Yeah sure, all made up. The military budget is not well documented enough for you to make those claims. Just makes you anti-education, odd in a space sub..

I think it's an amazing idea.
Imagine the first real accounting for military spending in history. Seems like a really smart fking idea, tbh.

Man you're a prime example. It makes your country better at defending itself and it's values, with less collateral damage, creating less terrorists. Idk why it's not obvious that most of the damage is ignorance and fear compounded into rage.

You gotta start somewhere, and the extreme lack of proper education makes having this powerful military an existential crisis for humanity.

Why not? Over time a good education reduces the need for military.

If you fix all that itll just come back in a generation. School funding should be equal to military spending.

I've worked at the same top 500 company for many years, 3 different ceos. The first was worshipped and the next two spent their time fixing the culture. Leader worship ruins culture so fast.
