  • If I were justifying my account name, I’d suppose, for the purpose of future appearing interesting, this might be a coverup.

    Such a structure is useful for many things, and while a DC doesn’t have to be that big, a factory producing real things on scale or mass housing or a prepared company town all benefit from being in one place.

    So perhaps it’s being built as a DC, but in fact is going to be like a drone factory, or something equally dystopian-futuristic.

    Or a humongous supercomputer, whatever.

    I’m starting to think along plot lines of science fiction and space operas I’ve seen and read before, they were saying it’s harmful for my development, I didn’t believe them.

    Another option - it’s, yes, a scheme and it won’t get built. Just pump and dump.


  • If that’s going to be one humongous superstructure, zoned inside, then if this fails, they might get a new city. Superstructures like this are nice, just nobody usually builds them (after 50s and 60s, I suppose) for residential areas.

    One can repurpose the space for multi-story apartments (I suppose ceilings will be much higher than needed), or malls, or literally everything.

    Or factories, if there are problems with exporting orders to southeast Asia.

    If this even gets built.

    Or if it doesn’t fail, then heat and noise pollution, I suppose. And grid load. Not nice.


  • If you’d seen the original statement in Russian, you’d realize this person has no idea what they are talking about at all, and with their job title, the purpose of it is just to present some kinda more liberal viewpoint for appearance.

    And yes, it’s possible, Iran and North Korea are doing it, and there are plenty of countries with heavy censorship and regulation, and there’s a piece of good engineering advice I once got - “you get to your goal faster if you don’t pick up boss fights”, meaning that while it’s cool for a commenter on the Web to imagine them taking the hardest and most expensive path to solving the problem of censorship and control, they have different choices.


  • Some people might think it’s nonsense to pay more to reach some group than it gives directly, but there might be a degree of diffusion such that it’s not.

    Suppose, that computer-savvy woman is the source of advice for her many friends after trying some things out or whatever.

    Suppose, that professional man uses occasionally a free tool for their task, that seems to be “first page in Google”, but is in fact the most familiar from 8 things listed on that first page.

    Then they use it again or their coworkers or friends know that the tool exists. Then eventually they might buy it.

    It’s all probabilities, but those that spread.

    Why did I even write this, it’s obvious.

    I’ve just realized that this is much like having multiple identities.

    A way to deceive market reputation mechanisms.

    Should be made illegal, there should be one main brand seen on everything, then whatever secondary brand they want is possible, but you should clearly see that those 3 niche-optimized goods are from one corp.

    So that the choice were, eh, real.
