Re: Silicon Valley Disrupts Its Own Ass
I was hoping the plan was going to be re-fueling *while driving*, a la in-flight airplane fuel tankers. My other dream is to be able to order McDonalds from the freeway, and have the delivery car drive up alongside, everyone rolls down their windows, and they hand it over at speed, won't need to exit.

Re: Silicon Valley Disrupts Its Own Ass
Peter Thiel makes zero sense. Also, I love how he gets on his high horse about interesting technology (and how social media isn't it) and furrows his brow about state surveillance while he's made the bulk of his money from Facebook and Palantir.

I like how all these libertarians have gotten on board with, "Actually, free trade is really bad," once Trump won.

Well they're something alright. But I was more curious about specific authors and intellectuals. Has there been a philosophical change I hadn't noticed.

Re: Silicon Valley Disrupts Its Own Ass
Obvs the OG quote was WRT Peter Theil*, money quote:
*Who had that sort of 'people assume SV types are libertarian unless they come out as leftists' thing going, but was never formally a libertarian big- or small-L.
I haven't seen anything out of the Reasonoids or Cato types.China has been stealing our intellectual property and conducting cyber-warfare, and China is an unusually dirty country dirtying up the planet. Trump’s 25% tariffs on China should be reframed as a carbon tax.

Re: Silicon Valley Disrupts Its Own Ass
Reason has been calling him a libertarian since they started talking about him, including when he was pimping Trump. I guess because he hates college and was into seasteading.lunchstealer wrote:Obvs the OG quote was WRT Peter Theil*, money quote:

Re: Silicon Valley Disrupts Its Own Ass
Fair enough. Although Reason does tend to call anyone who is mildly anti-government a libertarian. How else are you going to have a "libertarian moment?"Mo wrote: ↑15 Jul 2019, 14:40Reason has been calling him a libertarian since they started talking about him, including when he was pimping Trump.
