Basically a deer with a human face. Despite probably being some sort of magical nature spirit, his interests are primarily in technology and politics and science fiction.
Spent many years on Reddit before joining the Threadiverse as well.

The companies that continue with human staff where others are replacing theirs, for example. Outsourcers providing those staff.


Oh, certainly. I would never say she was a good pick for the Supreme Court. She’s a monster who has turned on her creator, as so many of them ultimately do.


No, we fight to ensure that the rules are followed. In this case they are, the judge has discretion here.
Would you rather there were “mandatory minimum” laws when it came to this as well?


Whereas I prefer an organized rules-based justice system over anarchy and vigilantism. Because who knows when you or I might end up being in the “disliked” category?


I must admit I’ve been surprised by how independent of Trump Amy Coney Barrett has wound up being. She’s ruled against him a few times now.


He’s spamming this identical comment to every thread he can find.


But don’t you see? We don’t like these particular people, so they should suffer the maximum possible penalties under every circumstance.
If we liked them then punishing them for wearing glasses would of course be a travesty.


Depends entirely on the circumstances of where it does end up being built. I’m not sure what “gotcha” you think you’re making here? That Reddit comment is just me pointing out that when a business uses electricity they pay for it.


So it’ll be built somewhere else. Data moves around quite easily.


It’s still a step in the right direction compared to how the UK has enabled American misbehaviour in the past.


But he wants Obama in prison now! What does the future have to do with that?


Oh well I guess we’d best all surrender then.


That’s not how bankruptcy works. The investors don’t get their money back.


The original comment that this subthread descends from was about the profitability of AI companies.


And the type of RAM and “GPU”'s being manufactured are not ones that normal consumers will use.
They’re using the same foundries that would make those things. I’m not saying that there’ll be a flood of “used” equipment (though there would indeed be some of that too, other companies could set up data centers much more cheaply), I’m saying that the foundries will switch back to consumer products.
The stock is worth a lot because it can be sold for a lot. If the manufacturers don’t think the AI companies will stick around they should be selling the stock they’re receiving from them. It’s money either way. What do you think they’re doing with that money?


People have different opinions.
You literally just said you held both.


Thus, by a continuous shifting of rhetorical focus, the enemies are at the same time too strong and too weak.


Where’s this infinite well of investment money coming from? “Economic magic” is pretty vague.
Are you aware that there’s more to the court system than juries? And that those juries, too, operate under a strict set of rules about what they can and can’t rule on?
