Reply to comment by speedywilfork in More Water Found on Moon, Locked in Tiny Glass Beads by Gari_305
Lol you can't say the moon collided with earth, get told that actually, something hit earth to form the moon, and then say "exactly" haha
And the Theia collision may be a significant source of the water on earth, but it's definitely not certain. Some people think that comet and asteroids had already contributed most of the water on earth before that happened, but that also isn't too certain.

Good, put me to sleep and wake me up in 200 years once society has sorted itself out a little more.

AI development can't be stopped. Just like weed selling, but the government can decide to be annoying about it.

I wonder if this company realizes that at 40 plus kilometers in altitude if there is a cabin depressurization, every single person on that plane would die almost instantly?

Yes it does. Automation doesn't make things easier, it just increases the expected productivity of the worker.

Yes! Exactly! And their economic philosophy was catalyzed by this dickwad: https://www.reddit.com/r/interestingasfuck/comments/11wxlq4/the_powell_memo/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf, which created ReaganFuckingNomics. And here we are.

>ancient rome etc had free markets, did they not? And the SU was a dictatorship.
So you don't know what capitalism is. Capitalism started in late 19th century in Europe.
​
>they had to assume that “they have WMD’s“ was true. Would you risk
getting nuked? The coups were against dictatorships / authoritarian
regimes.
You can't be serious or that naive. US never cared about WMD, they cared about oil. And even if they did. If the CIA create a false claim again saying Mexico have WMD hey have the right to invade? If someone claim your country holds something dangerous they have the right to invade and destroy it and kills its people? I truly cannot believe you are covering-up US in this matter. It was no Iraq, Saudi Arabia or NK who launched two nuclear bombs against civilians.
No man, one of the coups happened in my country and destroyed democracy and installed a military dictatorship that killed and tortured their political adversaries.
And who the fuck US think they are they can get in other country and change it's government? Everything you saying can be used the other way around and would you accept it? If China rehearse a coup in US using the same excuse, would you be cool with it? This thinking disgust me. Americans think they are the chosen one to bring peace and democracy in the world. Guess what? They bring only pain and suffering.
​
>the british empire overall improved living standards and gave them
proper houses, buildings, medicine etc. the slavery part was terrible,
il give you that.
So it's ok to invade and kill the native to give the illusion of a better place? China suffered for decades with opium addicted citizens because of England and saw no improvments. India was a colony who's only purpose was to explore, sell goods from their factories and steal resources, everything bad or good was done to achieve this purpose. Africa was looted and left to rot, they are only now starting to recover. Imperialism is a cancer to those who suffered it and a blessing for those who do it. I think France and other Europe nations didn't liked it when Hitler did to them what they had done to others.
​
>of course they were bombed, ever heard of the cold war? They were / are
hostile to the US and their allies. Did you expect the west to just roll
over and die? And the embargo is because those countries are enemies of
the US and want to destroy the west.
Laos wasn't in the war, their frontier was being used to transport goods to the front line and Vietnam was a french colony fighting for independence just like US did against Britain.
​
>”hunger, extreme poverty, and unemployment” are the lowest they have ever been globally.
Not because of capitalism, China alone raised 800 million people out of extreme poverty.
I'm glad US is losing it's power to a nation that don't need to bomb the shit out of their "enemies" or conquer other to extract their resources to be the biggest economy worldwide. A multipolar world where US can't humiliate other just for the sake of profit is the world I want to live in.

Reply to comment by ItsAConspiracy in What science and technology should be here already (2023) but isn’t? by InfinityScientist
If you think we will have viable working fusion for the masses in 10 years, you’re delusional. They haven’t even broken Q>1 yet and to make it vaiable the need far far greater than that and far more frequent than the 1 or so reactions a day they’ve been able to achieve. Not to downplay the advancements that we have had in the last decade - they are huge - but the cost of getting that Q up to the needed 5-10 will be astronomical then actually getting reactors up and running will take a lot least a decade alone if you compare them to current nuclear reactors from scratch to energy production. You’re looking at…………30 years. Minimum. Lmao.

The day where raceways are common because human operation on the road is prohibited can't come soon enough.
People can get their driving fix off of public roads, and roads would be fantastically more efficient and far less lethal thanks to autonomous driving.

Yes. Nick Bostrom's book SuperIntelligence. He gets into the potential avenues AI could and likely will go wrong unless we do some things about it well in advance.

Of course not. Maybe the better question is how much the states will intervene and regulate facing heavy turbulence moving forward. If we were to extrapolate recent time the simple answer is: A lot.

Bruh. I don't even.. Take China in the 70's and take China now. Did they stagnate? This is myopic, because clearly the author isn't stupid. It is beyond me how he cannot understand the wider context that brought the staled productivity in the US.

I dont worry about all this shit related to ICE ban. I guess that somehow we get "eco" fuel, use some creative maths like "car produces 100 co2, plant consume 100 co2 while growing therefore this e fuel is eco friendly ". Not to mention electric cars are a fucjing joke in terms of range and price.
