I wonder what Musk would say about the idea of limiting Tweets instead of banning them. Oh, wait! New Twitter policy is freedom of speech, but not freedom of reach. Negative/hate t…

Yea, „those people“ making provincial governments go into debt for… toy-based theme parks? Musk be terrible.

> has this happened with blockchain yet? I'm not seeing it. It's a unique situation in that hype is easily and definitely measurable: market cap. You would arguably need to subtrac…

I am thinking about wearing a Dutch flag when abroad to avoid being considered a German. And I am German.

People spend more than 23 hours per day in RL, making me doubt the blame that "cyberspace dwarfs" it.

That was always stupid and there were always demonstrations of said stupidity. It’s one of those snarky contrarian takes people repeat ad nauseam. See also: correlation and causati…

This excellent comeback currently being downvoted is quite a testament to this weird turn against California in the tech community. It seems too sudden and drastic to be just the r…

So… A recession may turn out to be bad for an economy? I know economics is called the “dismal science” but this seems to undercut even low standards. More specifically on the artic…

For Saudi Arabia, it seems they didn’t nationalize anything but demanded 50 % of profits, which is not too far off from being considered a tax. They then bought the other 50 % deca…

You could try adding an elaborate backstory and run it as a cult. Traditionally, violence was also useful to get people to work for free. If you’re really good, the first round of …

Being triggered by the use of the word "dirty" for fission reactors, in comparison with fusion reactors no less, is far more telling than the use of the word. It creates radioactiv…

We have an unbroken timeline of tree rings that goes back a few millennia.

It doesn't require anal sex, it requires prolonged skin-on-skin contact. The factor that makes gay men overrepresented among the current cases is likely to be the number of differe…

I say this is the most deranged take on this possible, but then again, humanity tends to surprise me. Who is "the government" in this case? What power do they have over this person…

Survivorship bias is less of a factor than commonly assumed. If you check, for example, this map showing the age of buildings in Berlin ( https://interaktiv.morgenpost.de/so-alt-wo…

Great recommendation, indeed. There are quite a few misspellings, but more often than not, it feels like a running record of humanity. „petrosexual“ is certainly a Word I didn’t kn…

The difference is marginal at best. Most of the requirements are obvious and never/rarely change, like your address or the date. And adding a an incrementing number to a set of doc…

I was in student accommodation recently and noticed that it didn't have any reading lights at either desks or beds, neither as part of the standard finishing nor added by the stude…

A common definition, which happens to better capture my idea of what tether is doing (wrong), is that a bank transforms short-term deposits into long(er)-term loans.

I hate the whole cryptocurrency thing more than most people, but tether may just not be a scam, at least in the legal sense. Holding their reserves in something other than cash is …

Indeed; darkness means dilated pupils means shallow depth-of-field means your eyes need to work a lot more to keep text in focus.

What kind of illoyal loser would denounce their wife in public, offer to “trade” her like some property, all over some completely meaningless bullshit cliché complaint about their …

I don't quite understand how these traders are "making matters worse" by using the defining characteristic of a "stablecoin". If anything is making matters worse, it would seem to …
