Nice army of straw men. You're trying to redefine literally existing in public as recklessness.

Self-centered? The people demanding the nonvaccinated cease existing in society because of their fears are the selfish ones. I'm saying nothing about anyone else's choices or activities whatsoever. Restricting someone else's behavior and bodily autonomy is the selfish act.

100 people forcibly removing 1 person from society who has done nothing wrong? That's a concentration camp. This is mob rule, you're just okay with it because you're part of the mob.

It's not deadly to the vaccinated. That's the whole point of the vaccines.

Or are you arguing that the vaccines don't work?

No, once everyone who wants it is vaccinated, their health is their problem not mine. If anyone is still scared of unvaccinated people, they can keep themselves at home forever, they don't get to force medical choices and restrictions on others.

Nuclear is more expensive per KWH basically entirely because of the regulatory environment. Not because of anything physical about the method or its fuel; it's not more expensive in France, for example. Get the costs of regulatory compliance down and nuclear becomes the cheapest power source for both capital and ongoing costs.

> Or maybe they just recognize that their AI is causing more harm than good.

Google recognizes that these flaws in their AI aren't worth caring about. Google doesn't have any mission or obligation to help the world share videos. Google cares about Google's profits. And they've found that the expedient way to do that is just let the AI be overzealous with rejecting, because the cost of a false positive is infinitesimally tiny and the cost of a false negative (real copyright violation) is so much higher.

How do we fix this? Competition. We need a Google/Youtube competitor so that users will choose the platform that does copyright recognition better.

My guess would be that there must be something to do from an investing angle -- but also that industry insiders and specialists who look at such things dedicatedly and professionally would have already priced in or arbitraged anything far ahead of a layman's understanding and participation.

Note that New York to Chicago by Amtrak is so slow largely because there's no direct route. You either take the Great Lakes route going through Albany, Buffalo, and Cleveland, or the northeast corridor route to Washington DC and then another line to Chicago. The more direct Keystone line through Pennsylvania only goes as far as Harrisburg.

Sure it does. They want to amplify that opinion. They think that calling out Reddit is worth the negative of paying money to Reddit.

Right. And one way to combat that is IP geolocation, show your ads only to a first world audience. Of course, then a VPN or other IP spoofing techniques will combat that.

Not quite, because in this case the 50,000 listeners do exist. It's just that 45,000 of them are shills paid by the radio station. But if the advertising contracts didn't exclude for that, then there's no grounds to complain.

Yes, it does. I think most of the various silly awards they have nowadays don't do it, but at least the original Reddit Gold award before all that other stuff does elevate a post or comment.

Reddit gold makes tons of sense. People can pay money to amplify the opinions they want amplified. Reddit actually monetized internet arguing.

And a similar data point: I read GEB around age 30 and liked it but didn't love it.

About the first third of the book was interesting in new ways of thinking about symbols and self-reference. After that it kept looping back around the same topics without really adding anything more. The dialogues were somewhat entertaining but I found myself wishing to cut past the rhetorical fluff and get to the point.
