It doesn't really matter what is being done, what matters is the trend that countries are moving in. The UK started on a more authoritarian baseline than the US, so their laws are …

This is just crowdsourcing a surveillance state. For now, people can still record everyone passing by their property (not even through!), although there's an argument for changing …

Of course, not being exposed to negativity will make you more positive. But this advice strikes me as a request to plug my ears and close my eyes. Doing these things will not stop …

> So you think that your doctor should be able to order you any imaginable treatment that they think is medically necessary, and someone else will have to pay for it? Yes. It's the…

Don't forget: Kill thousands for profit -> no need to care, move along, no one is at fault and nothing of importance really happened Kill one that is responsible for the former -> …

> I think the US should be punishing consumers much, much, much more. It's scary to think what you could possibly mean by this. The US is already one of the most ruthless Western c…

> When you think about it many of the ones who are downvoting this post are the children and grandchildren of old dopeheads who created the market that the cartels eventually began…

The best thing is that the dog's actions are taken seriously from a judicial standpoint, yet the dog obviously can't be held responsible, so if there's wrongful action, no one is e…

> Instead of devices it manages interfacing with external services (Gatekeepers are like drivers). This required stretching the terminology so much that now, by your definition, an…

Aesthetics and societal factors probably factor into this because I find that Americans in particular are absolutely obsessed with height. Yes, it's a factor in the beauty standard…

I don't think they're talking about the debate itself, but maybe about the software job market of the 2010s. Back then, software engineers were more scarce and valuable than today,…

In the real 2026, the automated firefighting system wouldn't work - it would lose connection to the internet and fail to verify whether the customer is still enrolled in the Max Pr…

If you're talking about employer retirement savings, even then not everyone has them, and the young people who do will only have an insignificant amount of assets invested into the…

I know, that's what the second paragraph of my comment says.

I looked into it and apparently just the launcher itself is 16GB because it's filled to the brim with extremely oversized videos and sound files, on top of an already overweight ba…

You can just not have investments, which is more common than you think. Being young, lots of people I know don't even have enough of a cushion to invest, and others want to avoid a…

The US is moving in the same general direction, even if they take slightly different measures. The universal tracking of everyone is something all these governments can suddenly ag…

> If it's for reading the newspaper, you don't ever need to know "bathroom", but you sure do need to know words like "congressman". Unless you're reading a newspaper from the last …

I disagree with the way the author describes nerds. What makes something nerdy isn't inherent to the work. There's nothing about Star Wars that would always be 'weird'. Nerdiness i…

You don't need a big bad government or other outside entity to have non-consensual treatments. Just make it available to parents, who can make decisions for their children regardle…

Even if they didn't, they have a very long way to fall. It seems almost impossible for any already established major tech companies today to actually fail.

Strict search - perfect, simple, boring. Gets you where you want. Easy to understand. Serves the user, but doesn't create value outside of making your website better (this is compl…

> It's really only been 20 to 15 years since the "average person" even knew what that "Internet thing" was. It was the early 2000s, and later where it really took off for Average J…

The low interest rate doesn't help, but I'm wondering if it could be possible that, against the ideological need to pretend otherwise, we've also hit the saturation point in a lot …

Talking in past tense implies that it has ended and that now is a big turning point. From what I see, this will likely continue for the foreseeable future. It's easier to imagine t…
