Im sure some people might say that, but no thats not what I mean when I see free market. A free market is a market not under control of any of the players in said market. AS in it is a neutral and equal territory. That means the things I said, it doesnt mean "do nothing of anykind" thats not what free means (though again im sure some people share your opinion).
@wjmaggos Free market means a market where prices are adjusted freely due to their natural supply/demand.. In other words, a market where all players are on equal footing.
So that would mean the sort of things intervention is ok for:
1) Stopping monopolies from controlling the market
2) Prevent price fixing of markets by collaborating groups (aggregate monopolies basically)
3) Addressing the fact the medicare by its nature has a broken supply-demand curve, so things that fix that curve.
etc
Now id also be ok with the market spending taxes in general on anything that has a ROI on that money. So for example things like free education, I'd be fine with that because its a wise ROI.
@wjmaggos Any intervantions needed to ensure a free market.
Not if my company has anything to do with it. Ethics is a focus we put right on our front page. We even spun out a nonprofit whose whole job is to address ethics with regard to the evolution of AGI
@stux Well consiodering my company is already benefiting from this I dont mind **that much**... But i still dont like the orange one :)
Ya know, im not sure how many R leaders actually know he is wrong... I mean **I** know he is wrong, and I am sure **you** know he is wrong... But im honestly not so sure if the R leaders are aware of this. I think their just all on board and ready to go with a smile on their face for most of this.
The last thing I want in my mind is another bear. There are enough of those in there already!
Oh and if you always seem to get the main default in git on mac thats cause at one point you or something added it to your config
git config --list
@manlycoffee if you create the repo on github itself and ask it to create the intial commit it will use main. If you use gitlab it will use master, if you create it with `git init` on mac or linux or windows it will be master.
GitHub is the only one who changes it to main and really in my expiernce no one every starts the repo on github itself unless they are a amateur without much programming expiernce. Most use the git client and it still uses master. So the vast majority of repos i see are still on master, even new ones.
I myself always go with master because its the git default therefore the closest thing I can see to a standard, so i will make sure as a rule all repos in my org must be "master" until git changes it as the standard and then we will follow whatever the industry standard is according to git tool.

@chris Its hard.. i have a dev team and we talked about that and at least from what im told its non-trivial if you want to keep all your followers, im not even sure if its possible without coding.
I do agree with your conclusion, that what Trump did is against my own personal interpretation of the constitution. But one must admit there is nuance and an interpretation where it is entirely in line with the constitution.
It has long been held that children of "alien enemies" are not allowed citizenship due to the wording in the constitution that says "subject to the jurisdiction there of".
Now the reason I agree with you is I think it would be a huge leap, and factually incorrect, to try to label all illegal immigrants as "enemies". in fact making such a statement is laughable to me. But no doubt that is the angle being taken here and it does have some basis in reality, albeit absurdly.
Why is this guy using a 24 year old source and talking about it like its something happening now?
I think the problem with calling the #J6 prisoners "hostages" is that with hostages there's the presumption that they're being held for some form of ransom. The clear intent of jailing the J6ers was to put them under the jail for what they had done, not to use them as a bargaining chip.
Do you really think people use loaded language in an attempt to be objective and honest? OF course they are prisoners and not hostages by any objective reading. But not a single person who used the word "hostage" did so because they that that was the most honest word to use, they did it because its the word that sells their agenda the best, thats it, thats all it ever is.
I do not, but as a leading expert in this field I'd be happy to give you speculative comments if you'd like.
@stux Is this a game you did?
