It is something I have never thought to question.
A citizen in a democracy has a right to all information, and to decide for themselves. Any other system seems in conflict with “ignorance is not an excuse.”
How can I know what I am not allowed, or think your proper thoughts before they cross your mind to inform my ignorance.
It is a duplicated repeating error because this clownshow of a website is managed by squirrels and ducks. 1-800-273-8255 would be a valid US number. Doubling 273-8255 is not, but probably vibe coded under management that should be purged by these results.
Dropping news of hot action in your pants, what a power move!
I do not care to argue with you like this. I come here to hang out with digital neighbors, not to have some angry debate. I get nothing out of this, and for a disabled guy in social isolation, these have a disproportionate negative impact. On my original LW account I just blocked everyone that argues or down votes as such toxic negativity is unwelcome, unnecessary, and mildly harmful to everyone. Perhaps stating the effects plainly will have different results. The trials of physical disability may include a much reduced margin for adversarial encounters and contention. It is a subtle prejudice that is impossible to avoid.
I disagree with you, but this is fine, and I still respect you as a human. I do not wish to pick apart a dichotomy when dichotomous logic is always insufficient to define reality. I want to argue, but must stop to avoid a spiral. Have a great day.

I do not care for the terminology either. I care about a meritocratic system ruled by something like the principal of the Hippocratic altruism “first do no harm.” Trust is vulnerability that leads to harm despite the best of intentions. Trust leads to authoritarianism which is a failure of the present world dystopia. Systematic trust leads to sectarianism and conflict over the margins where the most vulnerable are harmed. It also steals things like your fundamental right to own property, meaning all of your purchases, and allows extortion into a fair market forum where the even value of money itself is negotiable with hidden middle persons skimming every transaction as normal and ameliorating their extortion across all citizens, (credit cards/money processors).
Semantics do not create meaning, they describe it, poorly in most cases as vernacular evolves.
According to the people involved at the heads of the businesses in the industry. There has been a large effort by the computer history museum to interview these people and record their verbal histories. Most of the people that worked for William Shockley have been interviewed and recorded, along with their protégés. Bo Lojek of Motorola also wrote History of Semiconductor Engineering (Springer).
Look at the process nodes involved and their cost to create the fabs. Late 1990’s CMOS was still in the hundreds of millions for a fab node and the surrounding technology was many many orders of magnitude cheaper than what it takes to make the phones of today. People just do not realize how fabs are the single most expensive endeavor is all of human history. This is absolutely what has shaped the world from 1960 to today. Prior economies were driven by militaries as their principal means of economic growth. The exponential growth of silicon has been that principal driver since the 1980s when it surpassed military spending.
I’ve done this job of Buying for a commercial retail chain. I was the bureaucracy like system. I was deeply conservative. People like that are never willing to stand in the present and spend two orders of magnitude more to take the next step blindly into the future at the behest of a few brilliant people. Their rivals will tear them apart without insulation between such decisions and politics.
So you still get to the stage where silicon fabs are as big as other large industries in an economy, but they never eclipse all other industries and even militaries.
I play in the biggest of pictures. In that picture, you have beepers at best.
Lemonade stands do not create silicon, or the equivalent of inventing the lemon. The vendor is irrelevant to the product itself.
You’d still have tech up until around 1996 CMOS technology. That is when things got stupid expensive beyond what bureaucratic nonsense would invest in. Neither the Soviets or Chinese were capable of recognising the implications of silicon and competing. It made the Soviet Union obsolete from an outdated military driven economy. Watch the computer history museum’s interviews of the people that were involved at the top of semiconductors and you will clearly see how this is what won the cold war and why.
William Shockley was the principal person that first understood how, for the first time in human history, a commercial endeavor would have exponential growth potential so strong that no military could afford to fund it by itself.
That era is over now BTW. We are less than 10 years out from the final fab node, and the real world hardware cycle is actually 10 years. Perhaps it is a coincidence, but that is likely the reason politics are shifting to a posture similar to the era of William Shockley, and the global trade required to support that exponential growth is no longer as relevant.
Authoritarian and bureaucratic systems never manage to lead in such unprecedented endeavors. At best, all they do is follow.
Capitalism is the lesser (but still quite) evil system. The only thing that actually matters is meritocracy. Bureaucracy lacks the meritocratic impetus to filter and motivate real leaders free from cronyism. In the present world, places like China have far better capitalism for the average person that cares about lemonade stands. But I don’t want to live in 1996, or 1896, or 1696 with people that plow with oxen and 15 kids running a lemonade stand, like would be the case without evil capitalism. The problem in the present is the lack of real capitalism. People do not take responsibility for their purchase vote, and governments are corrupted by an oligarchy.
When a real AGI exists and is capable of persistence and omnipresence, then we have solved the succession crisis to finally have a benevolent altruistic system capable of wielding trust. Humans are incapable of wielding trust in politics. The occasional ultra rare exception of incorruptible leadership that is altruistic, benevolent, and self deprecating is always followed by a succession crisis.
Trust is surrender of democracy to fascists and authoritarians. Skepticism, free information, and the right to error with full nonviolent autonomy are the antitheses of anyone peddling the fallacy of trust.
Purchase of the device is Capitalism, because your money IS your vote, and YOU are the Capital of Capitalism!
In a planned economy, there are beepers and payphones. No one builds the most expensive commercial endeavor in all of human history – advanced silicon fab nodes.

We been trying to go backwards ever since the first life form split. Some are more motivated than others. The hive mind explores every potential ctrl+z for mitosis… Put it back! Stop! No, go away!.. Lone star the barbarian just wanna get merged n go home.
We’re all just animals under the surface. Human exceptionalism is a fallacy. The hormones are just as much a part of you as any conscious thought.
The stranger thing to me is why this type of performance is a thing people watch in the first place. I do not mean that in a judgemental way at all. I am more interested in what it says about the nature of entertainment and human social behavior. This seems like a glitch in the meaning and value of tribalism. The potential benefit is very limited. The person performing has obvious returns on investment. It is the others that I question.
Valid, but the leaded gasoline argument greatly invalidates geriatrics and the old guard to undermine everything they have to say or have ever said.

I barely knew him as the guy that said fuck the kids and let them die when school shootings happened. Picked that up randomly in the periphery. I think he’s from the Fox News idiocy, echo chamber space.
Guys, my new monitor is blindingly bright after pulling the protective film off.
French people are the greatest kind of weird. I can’t imagine a world where people are so well informed without cringe reality TV toxic rot.
Tell my family they have a new problem to deal with.
Maybe walk down to the pier and play a guitar with an open case. I could probably get more than $40 from scrap copper. I could maybe talk a used car lot into letting me clear some headlights for twice that much. Hawking some expensive junk on Craig’s list might also work. Pawn some tools.
Call it dogma and tribalism. Religious nutjob is a compliment to those that value piety. Calling it words they must look up and ponder in dumbfounded stupidity has a sliver of potential to motivate curiosity and self reflection… I’m speaking from empirical heuristics here.
AI is the new McCarthyism. I don’t see many bots at all. I see a lot of fuckwits though. Maybe I just block the bots I don’t want to see. The FWs are hopeless though. My main account has blocked hundreds but they are like the heads of the Lernaean Hydra 🐲 🐲 🐲 👀
