Things that are worse than war, a wildly incomplete list, in no particular order:
Pogroms; slavery; totalitarian dictatorship; theocracy; intentional mass starvation; mass organ harvesting; mass forced relocation; anarchy; failing to respond to unprovoked violence; restricting freedom instead of defeating the adversary.
It’s potentially a gross misallocation of capital.
Right now, the 5 and 10 year US treasury rates are 4.2% and 4.47%. The 30 year is 4.99%.
A business with a return on invested capital less than that is in fact operating at a loss. Unless there is reason to believe the situation will change in the near-to-mid future, such a business would literally be better off liquidating everything and just investing in treasuries.
You would need access to internal data to figure out their ROIC, but a 3% margin is not promising.
This likely represents increased freedom and faster decision making for Mojang and King.
Moving up the org reporting chain lets you do more, because you have fewer people to convince.
It’s not as good as being fully independent, but that will never be an option for Minecraft again. Actually being spun off might even be worse, because any new owner will be even more fixated on just the numbers.
If one of your goals is to get others to adopt the software, I recommend you redo the marketing page and readme from scratch. Delete them without looking at them again, then hand write the content for them. Once you have the content, you call tell an LLM to format it into a nice landing page, but strictly keep your wording without changes.
I wrote an early version of the Cylance AV desktop client. The UI side was a web app that talked to its windows service backend using HTTP over windows pipes. This was surprisingly easy to do using WCF.
Those claims are extremely suspect and completely support the current rationing and power structure of healthcare.
But, even granting they could be true, they would be true under the status quo.
Sure, a one off full body scan might be scary and lead to unnecessary action. But if a technology of the sort being described here were to exist, you would just get daily (or more frequent) scans to monitor the situation. Is that tumor actually growing or is it just a transient thing your immune system is dealing with? Way easier to tell if imaging is cheap, fast, and frequent.
And then there is the data.
No one knows what is actually going on in our bodies. If we had the ability to do billions of scans, imagine the longitudinal studies that could be performed.
Someone ought to build a browser that is designed from the ground up to treat the web for what it is: the most hostile ecosystem on the planet.
uBlock/uMatrix functionality should be built into the core. Every domain and PSF should be sandboxed to its own profile. User agents and many js queries should return standard responses. Forcing display of video controls should be trivial. Manipulating pages to show/hide elements and customize feeds should be trivial. Right clicking to download any asset should just work.
> Please provide an evidentiary basis for human consciousness.
Direct experience. No further justification is necessary.
All arguments against consciousness presuppose the existence of consciousness (the so-called stolen concept fallacy). Any attempt to refute it necessarily relies on it.
You can’t even have a coherent concept of “knowledge” without it, let alone knowledge of specific things like 3D graphics, algorithms, and synapses.
