yeah and its sorta silly to even pretend that there is private ownership of land given property tax and regulations. The truth is the state owns the land that it holds by military might and the citizens rent portions for their needs.

yeah its the same with patent. I often think both should only be given to individuals and entities should not be able to have them.

Thing is that copywrite did serve a purpose and was for like 20 years before disney got it extended to the nth degree. The idea was the authors had a chance to make money but were expected to be prolific enough to have more writings by the time 20 years was over. I would like to see with patents that once you get one you have a limited time to go to market. Maybe 10 years and if you product is ever not available for purchase (at a cost equivalent to the average cost accounted for inflation or something) you lose the patent so others can produce it. So like stop making an attachment for a product and now anyone can.

good. none of these people should be able to go anywhere in public without being booed. Typical conversations should be: Hey your one of the assholes fucking everything up.

Piers anthony wrote a fantasy series with the idea of it being somewhat educational. It has this thing where the stories take place in different points in history and its like the characters are reincarnated but its not even quite like that. It is that everything that happened in the story has happened to the characters but the time period changes but at any particular point in the stories the characters would remember all the events as taking place in the time period they are currently in. Its hard to describe but I really liked it but I now notice there are five books and I only read the first three.

yes. yes elon. your companies are not doing well because your not spending enough time running them with your great ideas. Except spaceX. It does not need any help, but the rest of your companies yearn for your micromanagement to make them great again.

shes from the us. Dragoncon appeared quite prominently in her pre kids days which was also pre-covid. Not sure how much of either might have effected the con going outside of pure age stuff. Maybe the rave it prep to do a con since a con is like an all weekend rave.

interesting. its not just about the moon:

"LuGRE’s groundbreaking success opens the door for future NASA Artemis missions and other space explorations to use GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) signals. This means they can accurately figure out their position, speed, and time without human help. It’s a huge leap forward for navigation systems on the Moon and Mars!"

this should be pretty huge. think about the various failed landings and such you have seen in the news.:

"Traditionally, NASA engineers use a combination of onboard sensors and Earth-based tracking signals to track spacecraft. LuGRE’s demonstration shows that GNSS signals can autonomously aid navigation, even at the Moon’s distance."

so this really changes space exploration as or more significant to the reusable rocket stages.

"Trump said that January Littlejohn, a mother from Tallahassee, Florida, had discovered that her 13-year-old child’s middle school had secretly socially transitioned her from female to non-binary without notifying the parents.

While Littlejohn made that case in a lawsuit, the suit was dismissed by a federal judge, and emails obtained by the Tallahassee Democrat newspaper showed that Littlejohn had written to the school in 2020 to notify a teacher that her child wanted to change pronouns.

The emails showed that Littlejohn worked with a teacher to determine how best to navigate the situation, and thanked the teacher for their help.":

wait. was she in the audience? I swear the camera went to what appeared to be the "concerned" mother in the audience during that part.

I sorta wonder how any of musks companies can retain good people now. they required some really talented people and I keep on thinking how I would want to run from there. I mean facebook, amazon, microsoft, apple, google, sure there is the corpo evil do I want to work here still but it would make me physically ill to work for musk now.

I was thinking that. If it was remote during meetings you could alternate being face or listening lying on a couch.
