If I understand correctly, the conference "de-platformed" Douglas Crockford because at some point in the past he made a joke about the internet being promiscuous? How utterly absurd. One should question the competence of these peo

Everything the government provides causes lots of inefficiencies and waste, and unintended consequences to boot. That said, some things may be worth the sacrifice, healthcare may be one of those things. One question to ask, will the quality

Yes, but twice? The whole drive train. Maybe it's simpler to replace it and refurbish it later, so they just take out the old and give you a new one.

Is that sustainable? For Tesla I mean. They can't keep changing drive trains for everybody at no cost.

by 3princip 10y ago
Two engine replacements, in a little over two years? Yikes. How expensive is the drive train compared to a combustion engine? maybe I'm missing something.

Info from last year, based on hearsay: average rate in a poor-ish country in South Eastern Europe was $27/hour. I've heard of people who make twice that, which is probably the around the maximum for this region. Since region matte

Tough and long interview process (like others have noted). The good part is that clients will later be less likely to ask you much, they usually take for granted that you have already been vetted. Lot's of jobs available, mostly seriou

A tax that will be passed on to the consumer which will disproportionately affect the poor? It won't be people in Switzerland or Silicon Valley that will be materially affected by such a scheme. Taxes are not the solution to every prob

Unless this world government is going to organize the biggest genocide in history (as the conspiracy goes), or implement (energy) austerity on a massive scale, I don't see what such an institution will do for climate change. All it wil

Do you believe that this man, sitting in his Swiss chateau lamenting the lack of world government, is not part of the globalist elite?

Good. This top-down world governance project needs to be abandoned. It's hegemony wrapped in a nice package of development aid (and military interventionism under the surface) >there is a gap at the global governance level. Who&#x27

Great video, thanks for sharing! A bit embarrassing that Professor Bob Spence teaches at my/our alma mater and I didn't realize it was him until checking out the description at the end. Wish I had used my time at University more p

Sure. I'm not arguing for flat-earth, but I've never called someone to check if the sun has set for the purpose of satisfying my curiosity about the shape of the Earth. It is, however, implied in the conversations we have every da

I am not a "flat earther", just setting context to avoid confusion. There are everyday observations which will reinforce the fact that the Earth is not flat. Tides? Movement of Sun/Moon/Planets/Stars across the sky?

Ones career being affected by a political opinion is very dangerous, especially since the goal-posts are constantly being moved by the thought-police. It's understandable how political opinions can affect how we view our peers, sometim

I like this idea, for example the author will, upon submit, be presented with a secret code (link) that they can use to remove the content if they wish. Will be added soon.

That was my main concern when creating it, that link length would be a turn-off. It's understandable and I am considering shortening the hash in the next iteration. The idea is that the link is actually a sha224 hash of the content its

That's high praise, thank you. It was an interesting hobby project, it reminded me just how much knowledge and work is required for the simplest of projects.

I'd be much more worried about stopping Hillary if I were American. I cannot imagine a greater catastrophe for the world than her presidency. Guess that just shows how the bubbles are diverging rapidly.

Fair enough on unix philosophy, I'm not a purist, compromise is understandable. Still, an expectation that lower level tools be more in line with it than, say, LibreOffice doesn't seem that crazy to me. So, what is the advantage s

I have used Linux (mainly Ubuntu) exclusively for years and love it. I do some devops when needed, run a few websites etc. Granted, I'm not a full-time sysadmin but I do plenty of work with Linux. I don't understand why systemd is
