Its not totally fair to put this all on Chinese manipulation.

Western politicians and many "tech elite" all love the concept of CCP-style 'social credit systems' being instituted.

This is ultimately what vaxpass is all about.

Can't even sign up. Gives generic error about "payment / registration failed" - its a regular credit card that I use everywhere. Oh well...kinda glad to be honest.

Knowing Oracle it will eventually become a nightmare anyway (whoops, we accidentally billed you $70 for the free-tier, but you need to manually call this long-distance number between the hours of 9am-4pm to reverse the charge and this also happens to be our sales dept)

Imagine needing to get boosters every 3 months and being so insane you think its working....

You will never be fully vaccinated.

>In Derek's example the switch and the bulb are 1 meter away from each other and therefore the time is 1/c seconds, i.e the time light takes to travel 1 meter.

Perhaps I didn't make my example clear. Imagine loop with 2 switches...one switch 1 LY away...another switch 1 meter away.

Derek flips the 1m switch and light instantly turns on: What does that tell you? Derek flips the 1m switch and light doesn't turn on: What does that tell you?

How were you able to find out that information before waiting 1 yr?

Can someone answer the General Relativity concerns regarding this?

Imagine the same loop as Derek setup in the video, but where it extended into next galaxy (say 1 light year away). In next galaxy there is another switch - we don't know if the position of that switch is open or closed...

Now when Derek connects his switch and light nearly instantly turns on...this is obviously telling us information regarding the switch 1 Light Year away. How does this not violate General Relativity since seemingly that information is traveling faster than speed of light?

> As long as we ban IQ tests for employment employers are going to keep using this as the best practical proxy. I

Thats probably true to a degree, however I think the system will breakdown this decade. Given current inflation rates, anyone with an IQ >120 will soon see that the debt/benefit ratio is becoming unworkable.

The last 2 employees my company hired actually game via github - we were using an open-source repo that someone had made and eventually reached out and asked him if he wanted to consult for us and add some features to his code...that lead to an ongoing basic permanent consulting gig.

Its pretty otherworldly, I was an active member of a top 25 sub. Although the sub is decidedly non-political, the mod recently decided to post a politic-specific sticky as first post.

I commented in that thread "this sub is probably not the place for these overtly political posts"...the mod responded to me by banning me for "advocating politics / agenda pushing"...its literally orwellian newspeak site.

Munger is a real proponent of Chinese-style capitalism and generally praises the idea of social-credit systems.

It only makes sense that his architecture style would also favor brutalism. He probably repurposed some of the designs of the old commie-blocks from eastern europe.
