How so? Couldn't they ignore the insurrection bit and rule that colorado runs its own elections?

Well if you live in a democracy you should. It's not about your data alone, its everyone else's. It's social media company XYZ determining how each individual is going to vote, then, on election day sending all people on one side get out and vote messages, and sending people on the other side a tsunami of unrelated bs to make sure they don't know about the election. Or push a bunch of fakenews to make them feel both sides are the same and why even vote?

Do this in a couple key areas and you only need to hit a few tens of thousands of people to turn a presidential race.

We know it can be done because it already has been. If you live in a democracy you should care a good deal about privacy, even if you somehow have nothing to hide

This reads as very out of touch. I grew up with conservatives and am now very liberal. I am not an asshole to them but they will find anyway they can to be assholes to me. Questioning everything about me. My faith, my friends, my diet, my lifestyle, everything. They get mad when I don't laugh at their gay joke. They get mad when I choose not to eat meat. They get mad when I choose to walk instead of drive somewhere. I've never spoken a word of judgement but they take my lifestyle choices as judgment of them and create strawmen in their heads that I am criticising everything they do. These are not 'good people'. These are people that actively support a self professed aspiring dictator. They take me not eating meat as talking down to them and are willing to retaliate with fascism - this isn't rational decision making. We need to dismantle corporate run media and the role of money in politics. Stop blaming people that are making good decisions for the problems creates by those making bad ones

Also (in theory) paying to educate those that will be voting for your government. And like, a thousand other reasons. Public school is good for society regardless of if you have kids

Yeah the further north you get the less this works on both sides of the sleep unfortunately

Yeah when I've managed more junior teams I didn't have an official morning meeting but I would make a point to do 3 rounds a day. One in the morning, one before lunch, and one before leaving. People could obviously ask questions any time but you'd be shocked at the number of 'well while you're here' questions you get that they never would have walked over with. Once they gained more experience half the time they wouldn't even take headphones out, just give a thumbs up. Cost me maybe an hour or two a day but def made the team more efficient

Yeah but the power going out is what is supposed to happen. Its a good thing. It means the fault was cleared and the area made safe. The issue with one of these events is were not currently protecting against it in a lot of places. So real bad things have the potential of happening WITHOUT the power going out. No breakers tripping (or not tripping fast enough) means more equipment damage. It currently takes over a year to build a HV transformer, and that's with power. What happens when 500 all explode at the same time (cause the power didn't go out fast enough) and we need to replace them all at once? Without power?

One of the reasons some inflation is 'good' is that it drives investment. People are discouraged from saving their money since it will slowly devalue. Rather, those with capital are incentived to invest it in other areas of the economy.

Wait. The singular of cattle is cattle? I think that's the part that confuses me. Or is there no singular and you must use cow/bull? Either way I've never really thought about it and now I can't not

Yeah I feel like he was one of the first ones doing those long form interviews which was great. He had Sean Carroll on and told him to start his own - which he then did, and it's awesome. As soon as others started doing those kinds of podcasts (and Rogan got more insane) I stopped listening to joe. I don't think that makes me the crazy one but wtf do I know

I think there's an argument to be .ade for it being a positive feedback loop

So there isn't anything spooky going on there it's just that viewing particles involves bouncing photons which of course impacts the particles you're viewing. Measuring is changing. It's like if in order to measure mass you had to burn a thing (kind of like how we measure calories), in that case measuring it changes it. Nothing spooky, just an inherently destructive measurement process
