Rampant alcoholism.

I’m in tech and It’s literally not falling.

People are still hiring, just the bar is no longer absurdly low.

During the pandemic, everyone was hiring like crazy, and people coming out of boot camps were instantly hired even when they didn’t understand algorithms, didn’t understand system design, and didn’t understand engineering principles.

Now, you actually need to have a brain to be hired.

Tech is also not a bubble, because tech is in every single industry now. You might get froth in certain segments of tech (crypto, AI, whatever is the current “hot thing”), the market fundamentals are absurdly good. Operating margins of mature software companies are consistently in the mid 20s to 30s.

Raise the property tax, exemption for owner occupied, then tax the rest.

Degrowth is a dangerous ideology. For those living in rich countries, degrowth might just mean austerity, for those living in middle and lower income countries, degrowth is going to mean destitution and certain death for x percentage of the population.

You mean x football fields.

Coincidentally both “football fields” are pretty close in length.

Just switched to them. Would recommend so far.

I’m not convinced by any mass society that is altruistic, but it’s very simple to see that the natural state of human small groups is quite communal.

What mother has a ledger for the child’s share of food?

We have an entire feeling brain that’s dedicated to relationship building that’s very much the core of most small group relationships.

I’m also very convinced that this model does not work past Dunbar’s Number (~100-150 individuals), and most attempts at building communal society outside of that without some cohersion and some better way of organizing incentives is not possible.

Assuming x percentage of legally acquired guns can be diverted to illicit means.

Less overall Availability of guns means less overall availability of guns in the illicit market.

Disenfranchised minorities. I mean the Panthers literally started California gun control.

Though I think more gun control is no doubt better for society.

You can also copyright the original character and make AI generate all the motions of that character. Since the originals was (human) created and copyrighted, it doesn’t matter that AI created art derived from that character isn’t copyrightable in of itself.

Plus there is also trademarks for character likeness.

All in all, I agree with you, this is a non issue for Hollywood studios.

To be fair CDC recommends 7 days after onset of symptoms.

At least 7 days have passed since symptoms first appeared if a negative viral test* is obtained within 48 hours prior to returning to work (or 10 days if testing is not performed or if a positive test at day 5-7)

It does seem a bit rushed to me

That talk was quite nice, I really enjoyed it, thank you
