I think this misses the point that net worth is not connected to the liquidity of one's wealth. For all intents and purposes, his net worth is a number followed by zeros in a ledger. To actually get cash to pay for things, he may well have to sell assets which could reduce the number of zeros in...

Isn't this the embodiment of Pascal's Wager?

It must be exhausting being this obtuse. I mean this is basically the thread in a nutshell: comparing the number of posts in this thread to the entirety of the posts someone has made in the time they've had an Ars account. Kinda like comparing peak ridership with an average over a year. Edit...

"The concentration of power in AI is bad for us all . . . I decided to step down to fix this at Stability & elsewhere,” This statement seems to sum up a big social problem that we currently face. One chances into success and somehow believes that they can solve all of societies problems. I...

Usually it's the responsibility of the person making the argument to defend their position, the onus is on them to provide sources. Telling people that they should "just Google it" is intellectually lazy. Second, you've used the term "eq" a number of times. The first time I have ever personally...

Not disagreeing with the overall point, but the implication here is that capitalist markets can exist without regulation which is false.

I don't think we should call them natural market forces since the market is not really a natural thin; it's rather created by governments. But the ability to raise prices arbitrarily to maximize margins without much in the way of consequence seems to arise due to the inequality between the...

This is a rather silly assertion to make. To strongly believe that you are safer in a Tesla than any other car you have ever owned is one thing, but to affirm that this is more than just a belief does nothing more than make you seem like a cultish crackpot who draws conclusions from a sample...

You seem to be conflating hypothesis and theory.

Can we get to the ponies already?

What about the free square?

I have to admit to being a bit sad about that; I came here for the ponies.

You mean he throws out the sink?

I also find this claim dubious unless they are referring to the transport of the empty containers from the factory to bottlers (for example).

My hypothesis is that these components might frequently fail (relatively). Building it into the dash would make it much more expensive to swap in a new display when the existing one fails. (NOTE: This might not be a well thought out hypothesis, I'm only two sips into my morning coffee).

In ASCII yes, in hex A is 1010. It was meant more as an observation that using this sequence of bits makes it easier to find where the payload resides in memory because you can reject bytes with consecutive 1s and 0s; which would make sense in a proof of concept. The actual string seems to have...

Using the sequence AAAA... makes it a bit easier to identify the buffer boundaries and alignment. In binary, A is 1010, therefore finding two consecutive 1 or 0 bits excludes this from the payload.

Since there's a Bluetooth logo on Mario's back, I'm betting on Bluetooth. edit: Never mind, not enough coffee to grok the discussion.

I wonder if this technique could be used to bypass Privacy Badger as well. I only have a superficial understanding of how Privacy Badger works, but it must keep whitelist and/or blacklist of sites to block cookies. Presumably the same technique could be used to determine whether or not your...

Android Auto is mostly an integration point in the vehicle. The feature is not particularly useful without the Android Auto application on your mobile device which has all of the smarts. So unless you have an android device, there's not much information about you that will be delivered to...
