  • What about user-shareable block lists, similar to those used by ad-blockers? For example, there could be a user-maintained, dynamically updating, shared keyword filter for US politics so that the current hot topics are quickly blocked. This would be more scaleable than the devs making new content filters for everyone that has a specific request.

  • Looks ok to me using Voyager.

  • Sure - they're claiming to do two very difficult things simultaneously (net positive fusion and transmute mercury to gold at scale) which makes me even more skeptical. It's like saying "Not only can pigs fly, but we've taught them to simultaneously do calculus."

  • This article says (5 tonnes/yr) per GW produced. It's a fusion reactor, so it's making electricity, not consuming it.

    At $0.05/kWh, 1 GWh of electricity is $438 million. At $3400/troy ounce, 5 tonnes of gold is $545 million. So that jives with the company's estimate on the article that the sale of gold could double their revenue.

    All bunk, of course

  • Also the one where he was shopping at the supermarket (complaining about the number of options) and the one where he was looking for Hobbes in the woods in the "Yukon Ho!" storyline.

  • Without fail with posts like these, the recent history of the poster contains someone lightly critizing a hot take of theirs. Let's see if the pattern holds this time...

    I'm still batting one thousand

  • The job posting uses the word "obsess" twice - no frigging thank you

  • Unless I've misunderstood, what OP proposed is just increasing the tax rate of the existing system.

    A progressive tax doesn't result in earning less for working harder; it's only the marginal income that's taxed at the higher rate. So a worker who goes from making $50,000 to $60,0000 only pays 15% tax on $10,000 and has a net take home increase of $8,500.

  • To you, what is the difference between the moon being turned into a black hole and being replaced by a black hole with the same mass?

  • I don't disagree with your sentiment. I also don't know where you live. To clarify though, this story is from the UK.
