"I am frequently asked for my PowerPoint slides, which basically function for me as lecture notes.'
What is this guy's problem. I frequently present to my companies C suite and I've never considered not sending them my unredacted presenters notes...If there's value in them for me why wouldn't their be value in them for others trying to learn about my topic.

Usually adults both work together and play by the same rules, no? Is China working together in cases outside of this?
In prisoners dilemma tit for tat is a winning strategy for a reason.

on: The correct amount of ads is zero
Because if they did the 9$ ads would plummet in price paid to the platform because it implies to the advertisers the consumers have no purchasing capability and may be price sensitive or else they would shell out the extra dollar. If they don't offer it and still sell adds they can demand advertisers pay the premium as the consumer has disposable income to buy the service and is likely price insensitive since they are now paying for something that was free.

on: Voyager 1 breaks its silence with NASA via radio transmitter not used since 1981
TIL. I had thought a computer reboot was snappy compared to filling those fuel tanks, that's so counterintuitive to me. That does make it more of an issue then.

Why? You increase cost for what?
The Boeing example I believe related to this defect which occurs after 51 days of operation:
https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.theregister.com/AMP/2020/04...This seems sane given that the planes don't operate for 51 days constantly (I'm not in aerospace so please correct me, it seems a reboot could occur with refueling without issue)

What's wrong with the Boeing case on needing to be rebooted.
It doesn't seem much worse then memory leaks in missle guidance tracking systems that exceed flight time. We have finite resources, if the effort to correct is minimal what's the harm?

on: Australia's 3G Shutdown – Why your 4G/5G Phone is now Blocked
Do the Australian citizens not vote their politicians into the role? It hardly seems the fault of the companies to not exploit the politicians weakness. Surely such weakness would allow a more capable candidate to campaign on such a platform.

on: A new book shows how the power of companies is destabilizing governance
I think you hit my points nail on the head. Automation is the upper bound, I'm not convinced on your latter point because market forces typically act before minimum wage, which I think a different comment or brought up in relation to McDonalds.
Just so it's clear I think if there is a legal solution to this it's on taxing the high end of incomes, inheritances, and capital gains, not the low end.

on: A new book shows how the power of companies is destabilizing governance
"What is the federal minimum wage? Who benefits from it being $7.25 an hour? Not the common people"
Can you give a source on this one, you state it like it's something obvious and studied but I don't follow? I'm curious how this policy doesn't result in increased off shoring in a world where USA doesn't control 100% of resources, and a theoretical world this would result in inflation normalizing against the increased monetary supply.

on: Students Add Face Recognition to Meta's Glasses to Dox Strangers in Real Time
For the hacker news crowd I agree, but for the average public and law I feel this at least warrants thinking about if we need additional protections as I feel the surveillance we have today and what we had when the laws were written and what the general public expects mismatch drastically.
If I get a password prompt in public am I expected to run into the nearest private property because legally I could be recorded and my input recorded and extracted ?

on: Why Americans Stopped Moving
Quite literally no. the whole argument is they were well overqualified. A women teacher of today is qualified with high likelihood a genius women of today is working in a field that suits her genius. A genius women of that time could rarely work elsewhere.
