I do not agree with you that they have good intention or have good goals. They know what they are doing, and they are doing it to gain control. I think by saying they have good goals, but they don't know better, we are down playing the danger. They know what they are doing, and they are doing it to have more power over people.

You are correct, but a country like Iran doesn't have any trade partner other than China, so if China wants it can put enough pressure on them to stop. I.e., Iran will be forced to listen to China, not that it likes.

It doesn't always work smoothly, sometimes players can corner the market, or become too big and own both side of development, and rental. That is why we need an agency to look at price fixing, monopoly and stuff like that.

In a good system, government doesn't subsidize cost. It just enters whenever the system is broken to work based on supply and demand of market.

The company that fails in even a simple good faith gesture in their employee aggreement, claims it is the only one who can handle AGI while government creating regulation to lock out open source.

#3 is impossible because you are talking about lot of value and lot of motivations. If we stop, as example, China is not going to stop, etc. This is like the arm race, no one will stop developing and whoever limit itself, will lose big at the end #1 is tough one. Two issues, human need to be busy with something. While not needing to work seems great, but long term it makes us depressed, drug addict, and we lose our skill and become weaker and dumb. Second issue is whoever pays you, can tell you what to do or not. A huge wellfare system moves power from people to state, and can kill democracy. However,in limited version is generally better than starving people. #2 seems to be a decent option

So some version of #1 and #2?

I think it completely make sense. Google is private company and it was private event. No matter how important your message, you cannot go to any event stop people from doing business.

I bet if you got that city to get a permit to build a new condo, you need to spend shit ton of money and worst wait 6 months to get a permit, and at some point a neighbor blocks you because you are blocking a view or something. The problem is building, and in USA we have tons of land, we just some how don't let people to build homes

I haven't tried to avoid MAX, but I have two friends who tried very hard to change flights or only get flights that are not MAX. So you are not alone. You just need to spend more money and time

If this performs, and it is a big if, it can make life a lot easier for people with stateful services. You just push the service back to the browers and you are done. It can be a lot cheaper and lot faster, and also reduce complexity of making a stateful service scalable and reliable.

This statement is very uninformed. Isreal left Gaza very logn time ago. They had an election and Hamas came to power, and they never hold an election after. There is no land dispute between Isreal and Gaza (Unlike Westbank where there are serious disputes). The main problem is that Hamas and its supporter Iran consistentnly in word and in practice declared that want to wipe out and destroy Isreal. It is not about some land disupte. They want the whole Isreal gone. Now, the question is would it be wise to let this group of people with clear intention to completely destroy Israel have open borders? They make missles even without open borders.

If you want to be really honest here. The issue is that Hamas need to agree that Israel has the right to exist. Period. As far as they don't, I see this war very well justified similar to the War with Japanese Empire or Nazi Germany.

I would say software is very important. We already have tons of different models, standards, library, etc. I usually have smooth experience if I am using NVDA, but any other variation, I have to spend some times to get things started.

Supporting the common librarires that I use is very important for me to chose the cloud platform.

There is also a chance at play here. Many people are trying to find a hole, some are more lucky than the other. Google has a great team, so they get lucky more, that is why these things are not too common, but at some point a bad guy gets lucky too, even though he is not the smartest in the room.

probably lot of money went to stupid gym, sport teams, and fancy buildings for cover of a brochure, while all is needed for these folks and their students to perform is a classroom with a blackboard, some desk, laptop, internet connection, and a place to hangout. That is all needed for 90% of education.

Everyone says SVB had bad investment and they deserv it etc. However, I am worried about this being the first of many similar financial instutation failing. After all, bonds are supposed to be safe on paper. Increasintg interest rate fast can break many people who are not able to adjust.

I don’t know about Wikipedia, but many none for profit organization have strict guidelines about investment.they usually can either spend the money on operation, capex, or if they have to keep some reserve they need to use very safe investment like government bonds.

Saying that most likely Wikipedia has to convert the bitcoin to cash before the end of the year. They cannot keep crypto as reserve or investment

I haven't work for google, but other cloud provider I worked has very strict production access policy. You cannot just access prod, or run script. Even in cases that you must access prod, it needs special temporary access. (Just in Time Tokens), which is audited, and linked to a case. Few people in management line have to approve the access, and it expires once used. I would say the chance that some random engineer does this is very very low. Unless Google actually does something like that as a product for law enforcment. I have heard few cases of these scripts for things like child abuse images. I have never seen one though in action.

Activist investors don’t always invest based on projected revenue. They consider it just to make sure the company is not a fraud. However, they don’t care about huge revenue. They care about goals like green energy, new technological frontier. Number of companies that have decent products in these spaces are not many, so supply and demand pushed their price to huge valuations that doesn’t make sense for other companies.

Freedom is extremly important. The point here is not that Video game is good or bad or how many hours of it is OKay. The point is this is something that must be enforced at family level, or at most at school level. Government forcing this for more than a billion people is just wrong and most likely hurt them in the long run. For example, Who said those days are okay, maybe someone has to work on Weekend. Maybe some kid function better if she plays an hour of game at lunch time. Everyone is different. China has done similar things few decades ago in other industries (e.g., enforcing farming policies). The result was millions of people starve to death.

I don't buy this. Lets assume in city X investors start buying houses for Airbnb in a scale that moves the market. Now, you have tons of open Airbnb houses in that area. Also, since investors has to pay more to buy property, they also need to rent it for more. However, with too much competition prices are going to fall, and it would no longer make sense to Airbnb a house. I think in medium term this problem will resolve by itself.

There is another issue in US, not related to the Airbnb, which is zoning law that makes houses artificially low inventory. With or without Airbnb, investors and funds are going to buy those houses becuase long term the price is going up as long as zoning law is in effect.
