Back in the day, I bought an office software and I owned it. Now, I rent it and over years, it costs me 5* more. Back in the day, computer games were paid once. Or if you had a pac…

This sounds a lot like... when you move into a property, and you don't maintain it like your own, less than 2 years, things start to break. My wife or I clean all bathrooms with st…

I don't think it is true. There are massive communities around tools far more simple than Ableton was even a decade ago, like SP404, Akai MPCs, Elektron Digitakt. Many musicians tr…

Most of the attacks on Rust, I have seen, have nothing in common what people are implementing Rust. It has a lot in common with the fact Rust is very low level language, a direct C…

Oh yes, absolutely. For hundreds of thousands of years, every elderly person had something like 8 children, 40 grandchildren and was busy with them. Now, people fill this time with…

"The average person gets no benefit from this" this is a very bad take. In Europe, innovation in the end help everyone. Better healthcare starts with the rich, and ends distributed…

I think you oversimplify things a bit. Are those names erased during compilation? It has a massive impact. If you have indirect calls, how are those resolved? That matters a lot. W…

I don't want to be overly negative, but it seems to me that author considers just different flavours of C. There is a massive difference between Clojure, Prolog, and Forth. The who…

I guess, these things are long somewhere in the mind, before people execute. People change countries, partners, careers not because of one book. This is usually the last drop. They…

As always, it takes into account only a subset of what constitutes wealth. The state owns national parks, army equipment, buildings... Also, the state owns an impact on regulated c…

Oh yes, this is 100% accurate. Very often, when designing ERP, or other system, people think: "This is easy, I just this XYZ I am done." Then, you find that there are many corner u…

Even browse-wrap is legally binding, if visible enough (and it is visible just under the confirmation button on that massive Cookie Acceptance modal dialog when you come to YouTube…

It is legally binding. By accepting ToS, or using service with ToS, you are entering a legal contract. And as long as ToS isn't breaking laws (like Digital Services Act in EU, or O…

If you look for examples of something good, or something bad, you will always find them. I think, when we look at all social phenomenons, we need to look on the whole system. What …

Sorry for a super late answer. The reason those studies are just correlational, is because in social sciences, you don't really have many other tools. There are no axioms, deductio…

Religion is a major factor, that impacts your lifestyle, community, happiness and longevity. In most cases, positively. There are studies proving it. So yes, most religions if not …

If this happens, everyone is his personal CEO from that moment on. Yes, I want it. It would 100* our GDP, and make people significantly more independent. Mix it with open source un…

I have answered that already. Either lose funding, or comparable other universities should be funded so all relevant spectrum is covered. Federally funded institutions should cater…

If they receive federal funding, they should represent Americans. If 100% of Americans will be Democrats, then it can be this monoculture. If more people shift to Green politics, o…

If the university was founded by the government, it should represent Americans. All of them. Half of Americans are conservative. Approx. half of academia should be conservative. Ha…

The demands are simple and not confusing at all. - Stop promoting Democrats' agendas as the ultimate truth; stop bullying people for non-Democratic views - Allow Republicans' agend…

You assume EU united would act strongly in favour of Ukraine. But there's no guarantee of that. There are significant differences in how for example, Poland approaches Ukraine with…

I wonder, what are the alternatives now? Tresorit? Self-hosted Nextcloud?
