Smoking wasn't banned. It went away through awareness campaigns, higher taxes and banning it in restaurants. Things like that. Smokers didn't go to jail for smoking. Selling cigarettes wasn't banned.

Well, the first step would be to get both men and women disconnected from virtual stimuli like porn and social media. Satisfying ones sexual and emotional needs through the screen doesn't seem like a good thing if the goal is to make y

Just like chasing money will never bring true happiness, but the lack of money will definitely bring true misery.

US federal historical government spending is an exponential growth graph. As are unfunded liabilities that politicians at some point promised to pay people. EU seems pretty much the same. More gov spending, more social spending. Repeat ad i

Liquidity coverage ratios EU vs. US: US has been stagnant for a decade, while EU has almost doubled. (Lobbyist casts money against government. It's very effective.)

I tried it. It's good for editing system configs on a Linux system through SSH. That's about it. A lot of people are trying to fit a square peg into a round hole. People also want to appear hip and cool, "hackery". Borin

I don't really agree. Femshep is way overhyped and maleshep is just fine, if not even more iconic. Femshep sounds like trying too hard to come across as gruff and experienced military veteran and it just doesn't work for me. Comes

The bro addition is mostly sexist anti-male anti-community terminology designed to boost social signaling and communicate the orthodoxy's disapproval. Also holier-than-thou social psychology. Kind of serious, kind of joking here. Also

From an outsider perspective the obvious goals to fix is health care, homelessness and housing. For some reason people jump into completely tangential things like UBI. America has both the strength and intelligence. Does it have the will? I

This seems to be the real issue. Not that if the judgement is incorrect or correct, but there is no real effort to even make judgements that aren't just generated by some simple script.

The true test would be if propagating a culture of hatred against men, heterosexuals or white people would be penalized equally.

I have learned Vim and tried it out. Still using Vscode. Don't understand the appeal. As long as you make some additional keyboard shortcuts for movement in Vscode, I really doubt you can go much faster with Vim. Plus I'm using ab

This will improve democracy and freedom, how? Values both US and EU supposedly stand for. Bad practices and horrible incentives happen throughout society. It's not just money laundering that's the problem. It's much easier to

I have done non-trivial things both in Rust and Nim. For big projects Rust seems a little more robust, but for medium and small projects Nim is an order of magnitude faster to develop for. There are still many rough edges, but it's exa

Orders of magnitude more compared to 2008. Only one person went to prison after that farce. At least with crypto there's some form of public ledger.

Bitcoin is neither banking or investing. It's a decentralized ledger. I for one am not very excited to continue using the legacy systems with countless of middle men and entrenched rent seekers to extract the maximum they can out of th

Money is just a form of accounting for value creation. Should people stop creating value to each other? I do not think so. People who only want to extract value of course do not want any credible accounting because then they would lose.

GDP is still very much almost exactly correlated to energy consumed. Current inflation is also almost directly caused by energy loss. At this point people should not read any narratives. Look at direct physical evidence and do the math.

So many negative comments here. I for one think this is absolutely fantastic tool to calibrate cheap television and computer speakers so they don't sound like complete crap. We're talking about almost 20dB variations on the spectr

It's just alternating between sharpen and smoothen. Sharpen hallucinates new information. Smoothen diffuses and erases information. Thus there is this interplay with constant hallucinations that take place over previous ones. Mathemati
