This whole explanation smells of "late capitalism". But even so, we have to judge companies ethically, because how else would new regulation be conceived of?

Uber says the majority of drivers don't want this, which I'd call bs on, but has anyone heard from actual drivers what they want?

There is no need for comparison when there is no need for improvement. He is content, he doesn't need anything else. I wish I was that content.

I had such trouble getting Ubuntu to run in 1920x1080 in my VM, which I found absolutely puzzling, but maybe this is because linux people find 16:9 passé.

The best we can do is to do everything we can. It might also be interesting to start burning biomass and capturing the CO2, which would be net negative. Maybe it's viable for cemen…

I guess the low hanging fruit is to attach this to a power plant or some other CO2 emitting process.

I first thought they tested live sharks, which would mean they came from above, abducted them, probed ther eyes before releasing them.

Cool, I saw your site in the new page. Do you have an example of what a "next action" could be?

I never learned it properly so I'm looking for any and all tips.

That is, we trust institutions because we trust that the government has our backs if they screw us.

I see what you mean, and when it comes to institutions and government, we are also very trusting.

This rings extremely true for me. I live in Norway, which in my experience is significantly more trusting than most other places, and it's wonderful. We do have other transaction c…

I guess it means less work for lawyers. The sarcastic reply is that lawyers don't need more money. The more serious reply is that the work a lawyer does doesn't increase the "value…

From the title, I was hoping for more "tangible" reasons. Most of the reasons given have to do with mitigating potential problems. Bad privacy, single point of failure, closed, cen…

Group A fails to address the fact that emotionally loaded speech severely dulls the rationality of most listeners. Group B requires someone to take a stand on what the different ty…
