Everyone! Calm down! The neural chips that ended up killing the recipients were put into the brains of TERMINALLY ILL monkeys! So all the monkeys that the neural chips killed were gonna die anyway! See? Totally normal stuff.

On the subject of snark again - when it goes wrong for you it goes really wrong in a way that earnest comment doesn’t. Then you end up pretending to be “winning” by saying you are muting “Elon fan boys” when in fact it’s a bunch of grizzled developers trying to educate you on…

Controversial take before I get down to work: "Food Waste" is a white guilt non-issue and campaigning against it makes people fat. People aren't food insecure in the developing world because Doris in Bedfordshire let a salad go off in her fridge or because your kids won't eat…

@DaniLissie During the Cuban Missile Crisis there was a 2-1 vote aboard a Soviet submarine against using a nuclear torpedo on the American fleet. Yes, the world is a lot safer now.

I'm a housing accelerationist. We need to simultaneously repeal the Town and Country Planning Act, have the government build a million or so houses and sell them at below market rate, and shift taxes from income to land with LVT. Forget 'soft landings' and just destroy the…

This seems to be part of a general pattern in the west. Obey the rules - government is increasingly overbearing and intrusive in your life. Ignore the rules - get soft touch treatment and sympathy. This is unbelievably toxic for trust in society.

Yeah, US immigration is completely backwards: trivial to enter illegally and nightmarishly difficult to enter legally! I strongly support increasing and expediting legal immigration.
