The intent is there.

It's an incredibly complex distributed system with millions of actors and interactions, entrenched powers, regulatory capture, Citizens United, etc. It has to be defended and garbage collected.

I don't want to fight against decades of State propaganda and indoctrination, but do you realise that by "men" they were not referring to black slaves or Mexicans in Texas or California or native Americans(the best Indian in the dead Indian).

I like them, for whatever reason icons are a good thing for me.

I believe different people literally see the world different and there should be an option to remove icons if they prefer this way. It used to be this option at least in some programs.

But of course this person doesn't like it, and it wants everyone to follow his taste.

It is not a good idea listening to experts tell you what can't be done. Science and technology progresses one funeral at at time. Einstein's ideas were crazy for classical scientists and Heisenberg's for Einstein.

The most important thing is making space access ten to one hundred times cheaper with reusable rockets. Then a lot of the problems in the article will not be problems at all.

E.g ISS was designed and created when access to space was extremely expensive. Solar technology and batteries was extremely bad but also super expensive.

You can not use convention but radiation works incredibly well and you can also use the thermal technology of mobile devices.

The most important thing being cheap is that access to the Space become possible for way more people with creativity. Not just a few people with academic titles but people with practical engineering and scientific mastery (that certainly run circles around them on real projects).

There are so many opportunities to use creativity in space, with possibilities that do not exist on earth. For example you can spin or rotate things super fast and so you could have convention inside the machines that rotate.

Don’t you need that sort of paranoia to go out and create a privacy focused mobile OS?

It is not called "paranoia" if it is real that they are coming after you.

Have you not seen what happened to Telegram CEO?

This is a great way to spy on all your company data and give it freely to three letter agencies.

Marxist politicians in companies like France or Spain will demand access to it just like with private messengers for fighting tax fraud, child abuse or whatever pretext they can manufacture to get access to this succulent information they can privately manipulate for making themselves rich, destroying the opposition...

Power concentration is very dangerous. Absolute power corrupts.

Oh yeah. Replace the stainless steel by carbon fibre, give it to your pals of Boing and instead of being ready in 2030 for 2.3 billion it will be ready in 2050 for 50 billion.

Much better for making your friends rich.

We all want to uphold a system that limits medical school seats and won't create reliable immigration pathways for doctors to arrive here with just so doctors can maintain a specific salary. Then we'll go blame PE and consolidation and insurance or whatever.

If doctors don't have enough time, then there aren't enough doctors. Our population is aging rapidly and the need is increasing despite population growth metrics. If there are more doctors, they will need to need to spread further into regions where they're in demand.

This is a problem that we as voters should start to act upon.

Well, in the US doctors are rich. Something completely different to most of the rest of the world.

US doctors are not that good compared with a German or French doctor, they could be as bad as bad doctors in other countries.

"During bubbles, every experiment or idea gets funded, the good ideas and the bad ideas. And investors have a hard time in the middle of this excitement, distinguishing between the good ideas and the bad ideas. ... But that doesn't mean anything that is happening isn't real."

Remind me again why we need investors to fund bad ideas? The whole premise of western capitalism is that investors can better align with the needs of the society and the current technological reality.

If the investors aren't the gurus we make them to be, we might as well do with a planning committee. We could actually end up with more diversified research.

"Under socialism, a lot of experimental ideas get funded, the good ideas and the bad ideas. And the planning committee have a hard time in the middle of this excitement, distinguishing between the good ideas and the bad ideas. ... But that doesn't mean anything that is happening isn't real."

There is a very important difference: real investors risk their own money, the money they saved over their entire life making decisions.

Under socialism bureaucrats risk someone else's money.

We are not in a pure capitalistic society, we also have States, central Banks with central planning expending over half the money in Europe and USA and more than half in Asia.

As a European myself that see the public money being wasted by incompetent people and filling the pockets of politicians, specially marxist ones. For example, the money Spain received after COVID filled so many socialist pockets and has not given information back to Europe as of how it was spent(it was spent on their own companies of friend and family).

Is there some reason Europeans should go to war to satisfy the desires of American organizations?

Is there some reason European citizens should go to war to satisfy the desires of _political_ scientists - a dubious category at best?

Or to put it another way - why don't the political scientists at these American organizations put on their fighting gear and go fight in Ukraine?

>Is there some reason Europeans should go to war to satisfy the desires of American organizations?

That is the wrong question. The question is:

Is there some reason Europeans should go to war when Russia invades a European country in order to annex it by force?

The answer is yes. The reason is not letting force impose over things like democracy or rights. If Europeans do we(I am European) will become slaves.

It happened multiple times: The Ottoman Empire, Napoleon or Hitler and Stalin.

You don't have to explain that to a Polish person: They lived the occupation of Russia and Germany and all of them have family members that were exterminated by the germans first and then by the communists. Let alone they were subjugated over decades making then a puppet state of Russia making Russia richer and Poland poorer.

If Europeans do not oppose the dictator Putin controlling Russia, next time we will have to fight against Russia, Ukraine(occupied by Russia) and Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan and all the new conquests(of the new Russian Empire) in the same way if you do not oppose the ottomans taking Constantinople, you will have to oppose them in Vienna, when they have become much stronger.
