There was absolutely no need to include the stupid fake feminist take. Plenty of women and plenty of feminists also oppose porn. The problem with onlyfans and chaturbate and others is that there are a lot of serious…
I don't like the Dutch system, having experienced it personally, but it is worth pointing out that the wealth tax exists in place of a capital gains tax.
Yes. It goes to show how much they care about safety.
When I was a kid (some 15 years ago), I remember people like you would wait till early 30s and then setup a software house, which is basically a small contracting firm, where you use your accumulated contacts to get…
You are confounding two things. The impact of research and the impact of the researcher. Increasingly more research is done in publicly funded academia, not the opposite at you claim. OTOH the relative impact of…
I am happy that AR and IOT are getting delayed so much. I hope these stupid gimmicks never make it.
An ML PhD will not help you pass leetcode tests. Completely different knowledge base.
> That's probably because you have not suffered to be the only people of your country/race/culture in a company. A whole lot of immigrants have gone through this. None of them are represented by the usual minority…
I don't think that you can stick to philosophical principles because those tend to be too simplistic and real life is messy. Twitter as a private entity should in theory have the right to do whatever they want. OTOH,…
From what I read it seems people who are young and not otherwise at risk don't really need to take the vaccine as it doesn't inhibit transmission (results not concluded but very likely it does not). In any case it is…
Those claims are bullshit. The people most likely to travel are last in line to receive the vaccine and supply is limited so you cannot just go to your GP and get the shots.
It is not small. It is just that other tech companies you are comparing to are relatively overvalued, because branding and speculation inflate their worth. I like to think of it like this: if magically the whole…
The free market does not care about EU sovereignty and such geopolitical issues, so the EU cannot rely on the free market to make the EU competitive in tech. Also in any case no private entity has been banned from…
Beat me to it. Also Sweden is leading in tech, how exactly?
Tesla is trying to be the Apple of cars. The market opportunity is more or less the same: a sort of default luxury brand for people who do not particularly care about cars but just want to own "the best one" without…
No I agree with you on that but I think my definition of what is a luxury is quite well defined. All these fake greenies flying to India to find themselves are still going to burn in hell though.
I understand what you are saying, but you can make the same argument for why littering should be allowed. Banning littering is also sacrifice. Very likely technical solutions alone won't cut it. My issue with sacrifices…
It happens outside of your bubble. It's not about being dumb. It's about having a certain way of life that values frugality and simple living. But you need land to live on. Go tell the Amish to sell their land and move…
Yes but it is like a complete rewrite of the tax code if you are American. In my country we just don't have municipal taxes. Municipalities have reduced responsibility. All the important services are funded directly…
I am talking from experience. You are wrong on both counts. What makes you think that poor people don't inherit property? There are lots of people with very low incomes but who own a house. And no they don't just sell…
I detest property taxes. What ends up happening is that people who are on the brink of poverty keep losing their (inherited) land because the government deems it an income generating asset, even though it is not (it's…
Germany was supposed to be running on natural gas imported from Russia, but then the Ukraine conveniently happened while the US was trying very hard to convince Germany to buy natural gas from them instead. Germany is…
That would be cruel and unethical because it would be very regressive.
Yes I noticed that too. Have you also noticed that BTC itself also sort of tracks general market sentiment (irl I mean). Lots of dumb money around.
Yes but Hawala it is the anti-thesis of crypto. Crypto is born out of the dream of cyberpunks to have a trustless society.
