The world is so fucked that much of what seemed unthinkable just short ago is now commonplace. Nazis are somehow OK now to the White House, just to mention one example.

Not internally in China, but abroad. Kinda like how Russia benefits from sowing divide in other countries. After a certain point, world powers tend to try to export their models throughout the globe to make it more like their own ideals — it’s not like the US hasn’t ever officially sold The American Way of Life…

Sure, you are free to be willfully wrong at any time. I hope that works out for you.

How about future solar-powered rovers to Mars have an extra articulated appendage with a rotating feather duster or something with reserve power that can clean the solar panels after the storm has passed? A friggin’ squeegee, ffs!

Does Tencent gain deciding stake at Reddit at any capacity from that investment? Buying out major online freedom of speech outlets so they can be gradually skewed towards more Chinese values might be a quite effective strategy to achieve proper censorship at the root.

I was thinking more like eyeballs vs. urethra, but that’s interesting too.

As long as dashcam footage can be cross-posted to regular internet, we’ll be fine. 

I’d risk saying it’s not the mass phenomenon per se he’s pointing out as the problem, but rather what it entails in terms of who it’s controlled by and how — not to mention the demented masses that find harbor no matter how wacky their ideas, but now I’m just extrapolating.

Can we already say the internet as we saw it in the 90s has failed completely?

So, basically, because yes.

Goyal’s 54, so I’d hazard saying he’s not naturally tech savvy. That could justify his “innocence” in assuming nobody could ever tell regular video from one sped up to 2x and it’s likely he couldn’t tell the difference himself. However, as I’m pretty sure he didn’t personally alter the video, someone in his staff…

If someone says they have a plan to go to Mars, but, when asked when, they tell you, “Don’t hold your breath,” that could be quite literal.

So you’re saying all these crowdfunding campaigns that present a crazy dream and hope to raise enough cash to pay someone to develop what equates to thermodynamics mortal sins without ever having as much as a practical proof of concept (self-filling water bottle, laser razor, WaterSeer, or solar roadways, anyone?),…

Still, it’s useless.

Still, it’s useless.

I guess for this question in particular, there was no sense in providing links since the matter is elementary-school basic reasoning and has been discussed so very much elsewhere that there’s nothing to add other than repeating for the n-th time that it’s not about speed, but acceleration.

Tell my shrink that. 

So those in the space around you would be turned to pulp. Got it.

Came here to see bloggers get schooled on the difference between speed and acceleration and was not disappointed.
