I just googled and in 2024 there >200k approvals for Indian nationals. That’s one year, one source country. And I believe that’s capped. Over time, it must be millions.

Also have fewer qualms killing other people. Young people are more idealistic/poltical/murderous on average.

Amputees have phantom limb sensations including pain. I believe this is more than theory.

Import/export mute lists would be an amazing feature but why would x allow that? Shareable mute lists would turn the place into mastodon or something non-monitizeable due to low enragement.

I’m not so sure that’s a valid dichotomy. The cypherpunks were heavily anti-government libertarians and probably overlap a lot with the local VC crowd over a certain age. The cypherpunk I remember best was a horrible person who used to rant incessantly about gassing Jews on ba.foods and other usenet groups.

“ review tasks in minutes that used to take three days,” said Jinzhong (Jin) Liu,”

Sounds like the FDA budget is about to get a drastic cut. A clever bureaucrat never confesses that they are spending days doing what could be done in minutes.

“And soon”

Base rate is soon never comes.

And soon flying cars, but now Facebook glasses.
