Fortunately I store all my knowledge offline in my brain

Unfortunately its capacity is not very big

In China, I would see kids who must have been 7 years old running around the streets or on public transit without adult supervision.

It seems like a much healthier way to live than in constant fear.

I agree. I "revived" the comment by clicking on the timestamp ("33 minutes ago") and then clicking "vouch". I believe only users with a score of 200+ (points? karma?) can do so.

Many countries have far better service without tipping, China and Japan come to mind.

"There’s nothing magic about the $40 trillion number, and we can grow our way out of that" - Bessent

He also claims the number is temporary because of tariff refunds, and that they will reduce the debt with more tariffs.

New comment by CamelCaseName in "AI companies destroy physical books – let's scan rare books before it's too late"

CamelCaseName — Fri, 21 Aug 2026 12:25:24 +0000

You ask "Why destroy physical books?"

I ask "Why save physical books?"

If they are truly rare, then they are likely not valuable, otherwise there would be more copies or their contents could be found elsewhere.

Owning and storing physical books is not free, there is a real cost. Even owning and storing the scans is not free, especially when IP rights and challenges get involved, since a scanned book with no distribution is worthless.

I disagree with putting books on a pedestal and saying they must be protected. If they were any good, they would stand on their own, but if we have to run a moral crusade to save them, perhaps we are all better off if they're destroyed.

Sorry, what was the problem we were originally trying to solve again?

Except in extreme cases of fraud or negligence, you won't win a suit against your accountant or lawyer.

Isn't that directionally what OpenAI's core message was for a while?

A large amount of people building their own customized apps for themselves.

Similarily, everyone becoming their own accountant / lawyer / other professional services.

I have found Chinese quality control to be quite good in my daily life here.

Or was that your point?

Wait, no way!

Someone posted a zoomed up photo of a US official (can't recall who) of a notepad a few days ago saying "To do: Buy Yen 5Y - 10Y" or something similar

New comment by CamelCaseName in "Canadians are leaving the country at record levels. Can anyone solve this?"

CamelCaseName — Sun, 02 Aug 2026 05:59:29 +0000

Bad faith article that makes no mention of the TFWP and LMIA changes which is at least 20,000 individuals

Edit: Also, the population of Canada has grown significantly (see: Century Initiative)

As a percentage of total population, net migration is the same today as it was in 2011, and lower than it was 1991-2011.

Your example contradicts you.

2K, 4K, and 8K+ TVs have been around forever, and although 4K has become the norm, it's widely accepted that there isn't much benefit for most people above 1080p

Please never check your phone while the film is playing. Major faux pas.

This is pretty cool, but seems like a massive waste of time for Tesla.

The impact of this is that countless trips will be significantly longer, costing citizens time and gas, and pollute the atmosphere.

Remember to turn your AC down for the good of the planet!

There are people who do this at scale, often reselling online. It's definitely for those who are truly passionate about it, and enjoy discovering new things.

I gave it a shot, and while profitable, just not for me at all.

This is so par for the course for Elon's companies.

He will extract as much as possible, whenever possible.
