These aren't the same rationalists. This is about LessWrong-style Bayesian rationalism from ~2009 or so. The name is pretty unfortunate, though.

While I don't know the specifics here, my understanding from being there a few years ago was that most lower-income workers in Singapore commute in from Malaysia.

I'm not saying you're wrong, but a conspiracy theory about a conspiracy to spread conspiracy theories is extremely meta and wonderfully ironic.

If that's the use case, then it would probably be cheaper and easier to put solar panels on your boathouse, and still keep it plugged in. Then you wouldn't lose range to the weight of the panels, either.

I think the phrasing is hiding the logic. All-time high doesn't mean the peak. Quite often, all-time highs are followed by more all-time highs. Things can run quite a bit before a correction.

It's still a supersonic jet, just not the one you want. What is essentially a privately-built supersonic fighter jet is still impressive, but how much more investment will they need for the full size passenger version?

Generally, flashing that sign below the waist is a juvenile game where if one's friend sees the sign, one is entitled to punch them in the genitals (or something to that effect). That would be my first assumption before any kind of racism.

While I'm not comfortable with the implications of killpolice.com, I'm also surprised it's not already a thing.

That's most Saturday nights in VRChat, even before COVID-19.

If they don't make enough in tips to reach minimum wage, the employer still needs to close that gap. It's not as exploitative as we're led to believe, or at least no more so than working a minimum wage job is normally.

I've thought something similar for a while, and it's been long enough that I think the problem is the failure mode. It might be that getting a car to recognize when it's encountered an edge case and needs to kick it to a human is about as challenging as just getting the car to come to the right conclusion and drive itself anyway. Intuitively we think of the problem as what the car needs to do, but the main problem is ascertaining the state of the road accurately. In the autonomous crashes we've seen from Tesla and Uber, it looks like the cars never even noticed enough to have an ambiguous condition they could deactivate autopilot from. They just had a completely erroneous perception of the outside world.

I wonder if you could get the same result by throwing it in a woodchipper and bagging the mattress-mulch.

I'm skeptical of that claim without some good supporting evidence. Submarines tend to maintain CO2 concentrations 10x higher than atmospheric, and they have a better reactor safety record than civilian power plants.

I don't think that's a problem in their scenario, since the situation is leveraging life extension to work past retirement age. Working until age 80 and living out retirement until 120 would mean a vastly expanded labor pool, unless you're assuming everyone stops having kids.

Even if the subject weren't publicly owned land, the implication would be the opposite, that landowners should control their own land and not everything around it that doesn't belong to them.
