Social and governance are both factors that are going to be more political than results based. Getting a biased third party to evaluate companies on those two factors might as well be a game of darts, because what's considered actual

Something you want to consider is language. If I open up Youtube without being logged in 6 of the 10 recommended videos at the top are in a language I cannot understand. I don't see how untargeted ads would be much different in that re

No it hasn't. All I've noticed is that I get more pop-ups than ever before and some of the sites I would like to visit block me with a 451 error code. Phone browsing is a nightmare these days.

You're right, permission was given. Your browser also gave all of that data to the webserver and happily shows you that ad. Both sides were voluntary.

How many videos on vine do you watch these days? How the companies, where you consume content, monetize is very much relevant to you. You have a choice though - you can choose to not watch the content and you won't get advertised to.

I think even component-wise it wouldn't work well. These components are turned into metrics that can then be gamed. They obviously are gamed: the US corporate world seems to be chock full of token efforts like this. But if ESG did foll

When I first read about it I thought someone was playing an elaborate joke. It makes no sense why such ephemeral concepts should somehow lead to better investments. If anything, the entire ESG score thing seems like a scam to get people to

That's my point: these kinds of practices in software updates is why people don't want to update. Look at the people that kept running Windows XP or 7 after eol. When companies create a culture that updating is harmful to the user

If it belongs to them, then they assume legal liability for everything my browser does, right?

This sounds like a great way to get lots of people to run old software. I'm sure most people wouldn't even bat an eyelid when they go on to install an out of date browser to make sure a website they want to visit works. Security p

You have to go really overboard with vitamin D3 to take too much of it. The daily recommendations so far are underestimating it. 4000 IU should be fine for adults. There are people that take 6000-10000 IU, but it's hard to say whethe

Make sure it's vitamin K2 and not K1. Vitamin K2 is what essentially takes calcium out of your blood and puts it in your bones (and teeth). It's something that's rather lacking in western diets and could be a big reason why p

The EU did implement snooping on every European's internet history in the past: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_Retention_Directive But you could make the argument that it was largely due to Britain.

I haven't found any shoes that address my foot issues. Even if I did I'm sure they would cost 5x the price of regular shoes and would provide almost no improvement. Are there some kind of objective metrics on how modern shoes are

But Apple, Google and co do the same thing themselves. Here's an example from Android: Mom gets a new Android phone. The phone asks if she wants to back up pictures she takes (it even used a weird word in my native language that I had

That wouldn't work. It would put a heavy burden on imported products. If you're from a large country you might not really care about this, but companies are most definitely willing to just ignore certain markets that are difficult

You're right that most smart people behave this way, but there's no guarantee that all of them will. The existential risk is still there (psychopathy is a real thing too). But something else to consider is that so far biological

Why isn't there some kind of requirement on the packaging that tells the consumer which type of waste management system it should go to? It might not be feasible in the US, but what about smaller countries with a unified recycling syst

I think the most interesting part of AI doomsaying is that almost all of these risks apply to biological 'systems' too. There's no reason why a human can't be born that somehow has superhuman intelligence and does all of

What banks really care about is ticking a liability box. If it screws over a bunch of users then they won't care, because every other bank will be doing the same. Or in other words: phone banking in western countries is a joke, because
