so you have, let's say the cap is at 100B, 8% chance to be alive in the past 22 years

vs a 92% chance to be alive between 200000BCE and 1999AD, a span that encompasses roughly twenty five hundred human lifetimes

the gap in this logic is that you are only considering the % through now - and based on the history of human growth “now” is almost always be the most likely time to be alive but quickly becomes eclipsed by the future

considering we don’t know what the future looks like, this percentage may remain high OR it may become a lot smaller

I spend a frankly inordinate amount of time on these same thoughts, OP.

Could have been born in Merv, just in time for the mongols to slaughter the entire city and raze it.

Could have lived a million lives of casual tribal subsistence in South America or the Pacific, generations never "knowing" more than was necessary to survive.

Could have seen the peak of Byzantium or its utter fall, or whatever unimaginable world exists a century or a millennium from now.

Instead, I'm here, in the dying light of capitalism, reading Zen Buddhism and watching things unfold.

Pity the fool who cannot, or will not, comprehend their place in history, IMO. :cheers:

Cool to think that we're living in one of the eras that other people have dreamed about in this exact way in the past, and likely will in the future.

I always thought these huge pipelines would have valves every so often to stop the flow if there was a blowout.

I guess they don't.

they probably lose more money stopping the throughput of fuel entirely than losing some out of holes over some period of time, so why would they bother

god hole didn't take their phone to the store, that was the whole point of the story. so it's not lightbulbs or gps or whatever.

anyway between the app developers, the hardware manufacturers, and the intelligence agencies with chip-level backdoors, anything connected to the internet is absolutely spying on you all the time. the "good" news is that 99.99% of it is just being done to sell you poo poo more effectively.

there's zero regulation on this, and it's not just some nebulous "they" doing it - detailed worldwide gps data can be bought on the commercial market from a dozen different vendors. i've worked with this data at an unremarkable mid-level consultancy. it's "anonymized" in that the deviceid is hashed, and the terms & conditions ask you pretty please not to de-anonymize it, but it's trivial to do once you have it.

so theres not really that much stopping a bunch of individuals from just buying the gps data of [demographic] and then de-anonymize and release day by day goings of said demographic?

sounds like a project
