Ok that makes sense to me, so you do this once or twice per year? I used to buy a lot of olive oil in canisters in Italy when on vacation. Just can’t match the quality with what you get on the open market here.
The reality is that it’s not as clear cut like “X is bad/Y is good” as laypeople in this thread assume
As someone who finds ordering groceries obscene what kind of heavy stuff do you get that you need to order in?
Completely inverse to my lived experience. I have always used this method and my managers love me because they know I get important shit done without much supervision or needing dozens of planning meetings. It doesn’t…
People take horse dewormer against COVID so yes they will do all kinds of irrational things
Every authentication system i ever implemented (and I worked on many) needed some way to invalidate sessions regardless whether it’s self service for the user or not. And once you do you need some state and then JWTs…
Fwiw the pocketbook has the same kind of feature. The question is I guess if you trust pocketbook or Amazon more. I tend towards the former since that is their main business and not one of 1000 things they do. My last…
Doesn't it kind of work itself out? If it’s unsustainable population growth there will eventually be some catastrophic environmental effects and the population will be reduced to a sustainable level. Of course living…

I recently was in the market for a new e-reader and steered away from Kobo and Kindle because of their non-free ecosystem. I don’t know how exactly it would negatively impact me but I didn’t want to find out. Got a…
Her books are mostly about genius caring people being held back from their plan of helping humanity into a golden age by more stupid evil people and regulation and so on.
It’s based on a retelling of the story that isn’t as black and white and more based around the idea that technology and progress are good. I haven’t read it but the premise is quite cool. Of course having Thiel as a fan…
That’s a good way to frame it. It might be different for US Americans themselves and a lot of other countries as well; but for a large part of the west this was/is true
This kind of sums up my sentiment. All throughout my adult life the US (for all its apparent faults) was to me a shining example of progress and humanity. It was the best large scale implementation of human rights,…
I think they weigh the benefits and risks but then completely discard the risks, because humans are bad at evaluating risks. More than a million people die each year on the road but for some reason terrorism and cancer…
