@robert_zubrin Reason doesn't matter. The deniers are hypofrontal. Only emotion will convince them.

Why haven’t more companies adopted the Uber/Lyft/DoorDash model?

Give employees insight into the supply/demand curve. Let them come in when they want, incentivized according to need.

[David J. Garrett @akaDJG]

You know... I'm going to take issue with the idea that "anyone can come up with a good idea."

Ideas that are actually good don't come along every day. It's even rarer for people to actually act on them.

So if you're ripping on someone that's doing that, shame on you.

@lovelacecoding Well...

There are real advantages to working on a UNIX system.

@DoctorVive So unless you have a developed angel helping out… that will be tough. Fossil fuels have been the spark that have kickstarted this phase in humanity’s development

[David J. Garrett @akaDJG]

@DoctorVive Maybe they can, but creation of robust renewable infrastructure seems to require existing industrial infrastructure. It’s not easy to make solar panels and wind turbines. The manufacturing process benefits greatly from economies of scale

Maybe people aren't going back to work because they don't want to fill out intake paperwork

@space_stations Teach her to Google things she doesn’t know? Or nah? Lol

@PeterDiamandis It's called a tree.

Elon Musk is giving $100 million to anyone who can find a way to pull carbon dioxide directly from the atmosphere or oceans and sequester it durably and sustainably.

Personally, I think $100 million is a bargain.

[David J. Garrett @akaDJG]

It’s not either/or here. AI has some benefits, such as arbitrary scaling choice and “embeddability”. But a “security guard” or “air traffic controller” paradigm may be applicable in more scenarios than we now realize.

[David J. Garrett @akaDJG]

Remote control as a service will be more important than AI.

If you actually run the numbers on efficiency and computation power, the human brain is immensely more efficient than computers and will be for the foreseeable future.

@Apple : can we have an auto sort homescreen function for iPhone that gives us our most frequently used apps first? iPhone X user here

[David J. Garrett @akaDJG]

@RaleighC Lol

[David J. Garrett @akaDJG]

@max_hodak Argument could be made that they're both.

[David J. Garrett @akaDJG]

@msuster Uber treats its drivers poorly. Furthermore, many people are aware of self-driving tech on the rise, and don't want to sail on a burning ship.

@Suhail Yay, let’s reintroduce scarcity
