I bet, with such qualities he is VP by now.

That’s the only book you need to read, really. All modern books on this topic are derivatives of it.

It is a great book. I disagree though that all modern books on this are derivatives. I haven’t read many, but The Charisma Myth is a great book on human interactions, that I believe is very novel in its content and approach

Maybe a lot of the books do cover some of the same content, but that’s probably because human nature hasn’t changed much since the 30s, when Carnegie published his book

Fascinating! Thanks for breaking it down.

Not that I fan of CCP, nor I know details of this situation, but isn’t barring people under investigation from leaving the country a pretty normal legal practice?

Down with all nation-states!

Not the rallying call I expected but I'm here for it

A nation state is a corporation with a monopoly on violence

and also that initially took power through violence.

I'm not sure why you specified nation-states when this is just as likely to happen in any state.

Like me they probably assumed nation-state was just another word for state.

I wasn't actually trying to distinguish away from states but rather from nations. I understand "nation" to have a specific meaning centered around sovereignty within indigenous scholarship. I should've just used "state" but I didn't think it'd sound as edgy

But they are not suspected of any crime.

Isn't violating export controls a crime?

(Also in the US you can still be prevented from leaving the country for a tort (civil matter))

Apple innovate in hardware.

What Google innovated during the last decade?

Interestingly enough, Tailscale, that is build on top of Wireguard, work flawlessly on Mac.

Not really, I always have to choose an exit node for Tailscale to allow me internet access on Mac while connected to a Tailnet on cellular.

neovim or eMacs are the best text editors as up today.

The idea of blaming something you can choice not to do is quite strange.

You can choose for attackers not to use AI?

Why just don’t send books on the email associated with your kindle?

Even tho I probably never will get paid for writing Rust, I have zero regrets about learning it - it tough me really think about data ownership in programs.
