The U.S. government is also “Secular.” Religious beliefs should generally be respected as all successful civilizations have been built upon them, but when it comes to scientific knowledge or historical events, we shouldn’t grant serious relevance to the supernatural.

I’ll “follow the money,” I donated $10 out of every paycheck to the Guardian Angels throughout the 90s. Curtis Sliwa or bust. He’s not dropping out. PS. I heard a rumor. According my source, he turned down your offer of millions to drop out of the race. I know it’s hearsay but…

Biased against woo-woo in the outcome to scientific experiments? Yes. Do you feel that divine intervention should be framed as a factor in the outcome of historic events? How so? …and whose religion? In what way do you feel the supernatural should factor into historic events?

My gut instinct? I highly suspect that they were looking for a reason to terminate this person anyway, but needed a “cause” and legal approved this one.

Really disappointed to say this @OpenAI but, having used ChatGPT 5 for 10 days now (paid account), I'm crushingly disappointed. In almost every way, it feels like a downgrade from ChatGPT-4o. Thank god you've restored access to 4o (I just noticed it has reappeared under a "Legacy models" submenu) …and got rid of that horrendous color gradient home page. a.) 5 is persnickety—I must be far more explicit with mundane things, and it forces execution into more steps. b.) It lost its entire personality. ChatGPT 4o was the perfect balance of professional clarity, yet casually conversational. ChatGPT 5 feels like, well… like a robot. It feels like it was given a lobotomy. …and weirdly, like it lost self confidence: It's constantly asking me if it should proceed. After I tell it what to do it repeats it back to me, "so what you're saying is, you would like to do X, Y, Z?" And I'm constantly just replying, "Yes."

Just sayin’…

Over the last few years of inflation, in a clear response to government money printing, a certain group of my friends kept assuring me that the economy was great, just look at the stock market! I would tell them, stocks aren’t going up, the value of the dollar is going down. They couldn’t seem to get—or didn’t want to get—what I was saying. “The stock market is ‘going up’ the same way that the price of eggs is ‘going up.’” …was the only analogy that seemed to work. If your portfolio is up 165% and your grocery bill is also up 165%, those aren’t market gains, that’s just inflation.

Patently Apple has revealed new IP: Apple advances their Future Biomedical Smartglasses and VR Headset that is Mind Boggling in Scope. SEE: patentlyapple.com/patently-a… at @PatentlyApple | #SmartGlasses #AR #AugmentedReality $AAPL Patent PDF: freepatentsonline.com/202100…

Rulings possibly relevant to you: 1. @ACLUofIL v. Alvarez (2012): the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit ruled that it is not illegal to document police while carrying out their duties (in that case it was audio, but ruling used as precedent for photos & video)—this ruling may be important to you because it took place in the state of Illinois. 2. Fields v. City of Philadelphia (2017): The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit ruled that recording police activity (again, recording is audio, video, photography, etc.) in public is protected by the First Amendment. This ruling may also be important because the City of Philadelphia tried to appeal it to SCOTUS, and the Supreme Court declined to review it, leaving the Third Circuit ruling in place. 3. Fordyce v. Seattle (1995): The U.S. Ninth Circuit held that recording matters of public interest, such as police conduct, is protected by the First Amendment. This ruling is important, given it is one of the older precedents on documenting police behavior. Some other precedents include. 4. Turner v. Driver (2017): The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit recognized a First Amendment right to record the police, subject to reasonable time, place, and manner restrictions. 5. Glik v. Cunniffe (2011): The U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit ruled that the First Amendment protects the right to record public officials, including police officers, in public spaces.

That’s because “black panther” is a misnomer. A so called black panther is really a melanistic leopard, which is to say, a leopard with a recessive gene for increased melanin causing their fur to be dark. Up close you can even see their leopard spots through their dark fur.

So, $20k worth of $100 bills for a run of 200, plus packaging, bottle, actual hot sauce, front label, shipping cost… maybe ~$35 each? Let’s just high-ball it and go with $50. So $150 each for a 200 limited production run, for a materials budget of ~$30k. Let’s double that, another $30k billed for creative concepting, ideation, design, copywriting, etc. You’re now at $60k invested. A typical return-on-investment for a tech PR campaign is expected to generate $5.78 in earned-media for every dollar spent. So if you generate $346.8k in earned media exposure it would be considered a good return on your marketing dollar. Just spitballing here, but I’m betting this clever publicity stunt generates $5M or more in earned media… maybe much more. Well played, Siqi.

He’s principled—a near non-existent quality in Washington. He doesn’t kowtow to either the GOP establishment, nor to the whims of the administration. He’s libertarian-light.

Why “anymore”? Assumes one was ever interested in the first place. gimmick

I’m neither a “leftist” nor a “progressive,” so save your copy & and paste rebuts. Much as deists wish to believe that their god’s favorites get through the gates into a magical, but untestable “afterlife”—so “progressives” believe history bends towards justice. Both kinds of thinking make the painful reality of the human condition more bearable. Instead, history shows a circular atrocities exhibition, where we should all be so lucky to live in a time-and-place where history’s grinding wheel of human suffering gives momentary respite… before we all die dust to dust. By all means, worship whatever deity provides you small comfort in this brief dance of life (I even encourage it), but anything that you cannot measure, or in anyway document in this material plane has no place in the encyclopedic records of this very material world, save as “an object of naturalistic study,” to use Sanger’s choice of words. “…religious people are the majority,” while true (~88% allege* that they believe in some kind of god), the “majority” do not believe in YOUR god. Between all major religions, only 30% of all people are Christians (12% admit* to being non-believers). You don’t care about the other 58% of people who are neither Christians nor atheists, and their many-many other gods (which, like myself, you do not believe in either) anymore than you care about atheists. You only want to impose YOUR god, and his magic beliefs on the other 70%. 88% of people may believe in A god (or gods), but 70% of people do not believe in YOUR god (nor do you believe in theirs). So where is your “majority”? ——— *Given that 40% of the population of the world lives where being a non-believer is a crime and/or even punishable by death—and given that in the 60% of the world where being a non-believer is not persecuted, the number of non-believers instantly jumps from 12% to 23%—it is safe to say that for 40% of the world, there are many non-believers who false-signal, wildly skewing down the global number of non-believers as doing otherwise may get their head chopped off. So there’s that.

We must ensure America’s meritocracy is such that all the best members of China’s math team, want to be American, too.

As I've said…

While true, let’s get some perspective… The human population is the highest it has ever been (by a very long shot): World: 1700: ~610 M 1800: ~1 B 1900: ~ 1.65 B 2025: ~ 8.2 B 2050 Projected: ~9.7 B Japan: 1700: ~29 M 1800: ~28 M 1900: ~44 M 2025: ~123 M 2050 Projected: ~104.7 M So, the world population is still expected to increase, but the demographics will be very different (for instance, Africa is experiencing a population explosion). Modern, first world countries across both Europe, and Asia, however, are experiencing “below replacement level” birthrates. Historically this would be no big deal, as they will still have some of their highest historic populations, but because all ‘global north’ countries established social programs (pensions, healthcare, etc.) based on pyramid schemes, they decided that mass immigration was the only way to create enough tax revenue to keep these programs solvent. No, there’s not an overpopulation problem… but there’s not an under-population problem either.

The United States has MASSIVE deposits of rare earth elements. A combination of regulatory environment, higher extraction costs, and public/cultural resistance to mining causes us to buy from afar, rather than extract at home. It is really that simply. Cited examples: 1. California: Mountain Pass is the only active rare earth mine in the U.S., operated by MP Materials. 2. Texas: Round Top Mountain in Hudspeth County, Texas, is renowned for containing the largest deposit of heavy rare earth elements (HREEs) in the United States. The site hosts 16 of the 17 rare earth elements, along with other critical minerals like lithium, beryllium, and uranium. Plans are drawn by The Round Top Project, managed by USA Rare Earth and Texas Mineral Resources Corporation, plans to utilize heap leach extraction methods to process the minerals. The project's estimated capital cost is approximately $350 million, with a projected revenue of $8 billion over a 20-year mining period. 3. Wyoming: Halleck Creek Project, located near Wheatland, Wyoming, is one of the largest known REE deposits in the U.S. Discovered by American Rare Earths, the site is estimated to contain approximately 4.34 billion metric tons of rare earth minerals. This substantial deposit positions the U.S. as a potential leader in the global rare earth market. The project has garnered support from state entities, including the Wyoming Energy Authority and the University of Wyoming Energy Resources Council, which provided a $7.1 million grant to advance development . Notably, the project is situated entirely on state land, streamlining the permitting process and expediting progress. 4. Montana: Lemhi Pass District, straddles the border between Montana and Idaho. The Lemhi Pass district is notable for its rich deposits of thorium and rare earth elements, particularly neodymium. The REEs in this area are primarily found within quartz veins containing minerals like monazite and thorite. Studies have indicated that monazite samples from Lemhi Pass can contain up to 35% neodymium by weight. 5. Texas: Barringer Hill, was once a significant source of gadolinite and other rare earth minerals, but is now submerged beneath Lake Buchanan. Economic and geostrategic realities could make conditions viable to extract below the lake. 6. Nebraska: Elk Creek, is a carbonatite complex rich in niobium, scandium, and REEs. NioCorp is advancing the Elk Creek Project towards extraction. 7. Alaska: Bokan Mountain, has heavy REEs mineralization within peralkaline granite. Ucore Rare Metals is developing the Bokan-Dotson Ridge project. 8. Montana: Sheep Creek, US Critical Materials Corp. last year claim to have bested Round Top, Texas, and alleges their discovery last year is the largest REE deposit in the United States, with confirmation analyses from independent Activation Labs, of Canada. There are also the Upper Ordovician phosphorites across Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri, and Wisconsin; and heavy-mineral sands across the Atlantic Coastal Plain in Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, and Alabama containing known deposits of Monazite-Xenotime. Honorable mentions: • Missouri: Pea Ridge is a former / retired iron ore mine where preliminary studies found REE traces, that may contain substantial deposits and and is currently undergoing research by the USGS. • Colorado: Wet Mountains are the exploration phase. • Virginia: Stewartsville Pluton has been found to contain Light REE concentrations, and is scheduled for further studies for extraction viability. Alternate Methods: Coal Ash REE Recovery: New research from the University of Texas at Austin reveals that this vast supply of coal ash from spent fuel coal contains enough rare earth elements to significantly strengthen the nation’s reserves without the need for additional mining. The United States has MASSIVE domestic deposits of REEs. They're just currently cheaper to buy from abroad, than the combination of local resistance, regulatory environment, and higher extraction costs. Nobody over-regulates like the US, and the NiMBYs are powerful local lobbies. But if REEs from abroad are suddenly out of reach, these recreational activists will blow to the winds. Though there will be development time and costs, domestic supply will meet any domestic need ten-fold, for centuries.

On the positive side, if you’re a mediocre coder (👋 at best), you can prompt ChatGPT (or whatever platform), to “heavily over-comment everything in the code, in plain English, with the assumption that I’m a novice… a mediocre novice,” and ChatGPT will explain what it is doing, in each step, in detail… also, it is my experience that when you force ChatGPT to explain what it is doing, step by step (i.e.: you’re forcing it to be accountable out loud, so to speak), for every decision, it actually writes better code.

If the largest oil producer agreed accept only US$ for oil sales then any country who needed to buy oil (everyone) would keep their reserves in US$ of necessity, and by extension every other oil producer would accept US$ by default, creating a virtuous cycle, propping up the US$.

Temporary structures, indeed, from contract to completion was 24 months. The “White City” fairgrounds for the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair used temporary construction methods built to be torn down. The lead architect for the master plan was Chicago-based Burnham & Root (designer of NYC’s Flatiron building), who brought in almost entirely New York City based firms to design each building, possibly the most notable being McKim, Mead & White—known for more permanent structures like Penn Station, and the Columbia University campus. Burnham even brought in Fredrick Olmsted to design the landscaping (renowned designer of NYC’s Central Park, St. Louis’ Washington Park, and the Capitol grounds in DC). The Beaux-Arts buildings of the fairgrounds were constructed using Staff—a mixture of plaster, cement, and jute fibers, that could be molded into complex shapes. Then everything was painted white to give the appearance of being stone (i.e.: they were designed like a temporary movie set). They look amazing in postcard photos, but the construction was as cheap and flimsy as could be built. There was neither the time nor budget to build them otherwise. While many books have been written about the Chicago World’s Fair, the one I recommend is The Devil in the White City, by Erik Larson. It turns out the 1893 World’s Fair also had a serial killer problem, and his non-fiction book weaves the story of the manhunt for the Chicago serial killer, Henry Holmes, through the story of the architects planning out the fair.
