  • Brits are really weird in the sense they think everything about technology should be controlled to some terrorist and shit. They have no worry about what that level of informational control could do.

    1984 should be read in school.

    There are only 2 things British people care about 1 is GPS tracking on cars. People hate hate hate the idea that they cannot speed, doesn’t matter how many lives it saves they are a good driver and they are always late. Second is ID cards for some really weird reason, passports are find but having an optional ID card is a massive no. I even spoke to people about it and said okay how would it work in practise, what are you scared of? “Well the corrupt police could arrest me and make me show them ID and I couldn’t refuse.” “So let’s say a corrupt police office just came in now arrested you and took you wallet. Are you telling me they couldn’t work out who you are from what’s in you wallet right now?” “Well they could but I don’t NEED all that, I could just be carrying cash” “But you aren’t and you never are”

    People hate the idea of it. But government want to spy on your conversations, images, location, contacts, what you read, porn. Oh yea go ahead if it means people don’t have to turn on the adult filter on the WiFi or on the phone data which come as standard then go ahead. Easy.






  • It seems to me we agree on everything except scale.

    You don’t see humanoid robots being good enough and cheap enough to replace humans in any job. I do. I think it will start slow and progress overtime. Same how robotic arms started slow and then reaching more factories and more types of work.

    The price people are saying these robots will cost is way less that what it costs to keep humans around.

    The reason a humanoid robot will be used over a robotic arm is the same reason humans are used over a robotic arm that’s flexibility. The reason a humanoid robot will be used over a human is cost.




  • Wind power is paid for if it is used or not.

    It could be a lot cheaper up in Scotland where it is often wasted. If it’s cheaper up there more industry will move up there and use more of that cheap electricity and it will mean less is wasted.

    But this would benefit Scotland at the expense of England so it’s not going to happen. As such electrical prices are same around country which keeps jobs down south and electricity expensive.


  • You know why right?

    The grid is constraint and because of this it makes prices really high where the congestion is. Now the logical thing is to allow a different price where there is free energy like in Scotland verse where it is constraint.

    But! The issue is where it is constraint and that’s south east England. And as everyone in the country knows no one gets anything in the UK unless south east England has more of it for less.

    So higher prices in SE England is not going to happen. If it was the other way around I’m certain the government would say fuck the Scots they should have more wind power if they wanted cheap electricity.

    OMG in still confused at this.

    “I don’t eat animals”

    “Do you eat fish?” (My thinking people say they are vegetarian but are actually pescaterian but don’t like saying it for some reason)

    “Yea but thats not an animal”

    “Hahaha yea it is”

    “No it isnt”

    “Wait what? … If its not an animal what is it? A tree? Haha”

    “It’s a fish!”

    “Which is an animal”

    “No! An animal is an animal, and a fish is a fish!”

    “Fish are animals. Look, we can look it up to check if you want”

    “I’m not going to look it up because I know a fish isn’t an animal. I don’t need to look it up!”

    “… … I guess I can’t argue with that”

    This all took place during pre drinks which is why I thought I was getting fucked with at the start. But I never realised how so many people are walking around blindingly, confidently, unshakeably wrong. She got mad.
