@distantpathos It's a hotel so you can just go there, it's on my bucket list https://t.co/99AqOKMBs6

@arcticinstincts Seems like Taiwan is a pretty strong counterexample no

@Chris_Said @navtechai I read this several times and I'm pretty sure it makes no sense. Corporations aren't people so the "value" doesn't accrue to them. Typically the value of technology accrues to the human consumers of the technology, with a small portion captured by the creator.

@koenfucius People seem very confused about the difference between separability on a single feature vs separability of a maximally separating hyperplane

@SandyofCthulhu @robinhanson That's a vote for B

[John McDonnell @johnvmcdonnell]

@mattyglesias I used to live there, enjoyed it, would have worked with kids, lots of outdoor space, transit access, big units. What's not to love?

@mnolangray It's better to have multiple competing entities than one mono-entity. Pluralism enables experimentation and also allows people to vote with their feet for better governance.

@Noahpinion What's confusing is that more educated people also go to church more https://t.co/NkHTNu2KnN

[Clint Teeples @TeeplesCY]

It’s a myth that less educated people are more religious.

The opposite is true.

Higher education is linked to higher rates of weekly church attendance in the United States.

@robinhanson @william_lpp If those things are actually bad (bracketing the question of whether they are) then clearly intensification would be bad no?

@LinchZhang Alternate explanation, it was drafted in Italian and the people in charge of the English translation used AI

@mattyglesias @dwarkesh_sp If you can't get him maybe some of the clergy that contributed to the constitution

@NilsHeadley @timurkuran If I upload my homework to a temporary chat to get help even if I'm accused there's no evidence to be found. They'll only catch cheaters who are sloppy.

@YIMBYLAND Idk man palm springs has a nice airport

@StatisticUrban Touché! Looks like even in just raw GDP growth they were second only to Utah

@AlexEpstein Nuclear solves baseload, batteries solve peaking. If we were 100% nuclear we would still need batteries or natural gas peakers to handle peak use (unless we have dormant nukes that we only turn on once a day for peaking which is silly)

@DanielDiMartino Fairly proud of this alignment although of course America is my actual favorite country 🇺🇸

e.g. Singapore is indeed too authoritarian

[John McDonnell @johnvmcdonnell]

@DaHistories @razibkhan Two of the candidates will advance

[John McDonnell @johnvmcdonnell]

@maxdubler I was talking to a contractor who was involved in Coast Ranch Inn. He said "I hear CCC we switch to charging by the hour right away".

But they did get it built and they were proud of it.
