We can simplify the situation quite well and avoid the projection. It's too late to do anything about the acquisition, but Google is too powerful and too shady to begin with, and should be vigorously opposed in anything it does or trie

There's something inherently contradictory about needing a blog post that itself needs the approval of long-dead Frenchmen to justify wandering. The irony is that they are assigning a purpose to this activity without realizing it: that

I understand your frustration. On the other hand, this reachability seems to be a form of spontaneity. Isn't a text from a friend with an imminent plan pretty spontaneous?

There's a meta effect where commiseration around narcissism and being a victim of it is its own form of self-indulgent thinking

A good approach is to continually ask yourself: "Am I wasting the reader's time?" In your initial request, there are disjointed references that go nowhere and don't actually form a coherent flow of thought towards an org

Amassing a ton of money can make sense if for instance we develop immortality in the next few decades. Having enough money to secure the treatment at the right time could be the difference yielding centuries of extra lifetime

The internet is already useful in the way you are imagining it to be. The educational and practical resources are there, and are not that hard to find assuming you have gained minimal technological literacy and a certain understanding of in

I am sympathetic to your ideological worldview, but simply claiming that something is common knowledge and being unable to come up with sources is concerning, even in the context of an SEO war.

Livestock takes up nearly 80% of global agricultural land, yet produces less than 20% of the world’s supply of calories. See the source for a list of nations with globally unsustainable diets in terms of land. https://ourworldind

A country with a constitution that is geared like this is still using violence or the implied threat of it to guarantee these rights or even private property in general.

You don't even need to tax meat in most situations. Just remove subsidies.

People belittle Firefox and its parent company out of both love and fear because it's one of the few bastions remaining in a sea of botnets and data siphons. And no, le shill lion doesn't count.

This sounds very reasonable on paper. The elephant in the room, however, is that most people and even those who claim to want to move past ads don't want to pay that much for what they consume. The barrier between consuming something

There's kind of a bias in that hiring decisions based on social connections have a bad reputation by default. This bias is of course based on experience and natural intuition about how corruption sets in. However, when you hire someone

Ideologically, I am inclined to agree. I have an epidermic reaction to advertising in general. However, these extensions exist in a context where they depend on the majority of users not using them. If every browser had them, the economy of

I see what you mean. This would indeed be most useful with an accomplice, and a lot dicier and ambiguous without.

Where are you getting that first part about freedom? Maybe it's a generational thing but I can't seem to visualize them as anything but constrained from the outset. The Witness is maybe the 'freest' example I can think o

It's not impossible, technically. But it would contradict more than a decade of behavior and performance along with having no circumstantial or hard evidence to back it up.

I don't entirely disagree but consider the following: 1) To be useless to a top player, the decision tree needs to have only long term gains and be barren in terms of short term human-readable profits. 2) In the same vein, the metagami

It's still widely talked about. It's just that the total amount of drama is overpowering.

At their level of play, a single one-bit message can tip the scales in dramatic fashion. All you have to know is that there is a great move to be found in a particular position, without even knowing what the move is.

The most convincing theory around this drama is that Magnus employed just such a honeypot by playing an obscure move Niemann responded perfectly to but was unable to later explain.

I think we get that "goddamn years are going by" feeling with movies especially because they are connected to a specific year yet are disconnected from other memories (unless you brought your crush to one of them maybe)

I don't think this condescension is warranted. The functional differences make all the difference. The key part is not the physical limitations of radio but the content that can be played. You can aim content at a niche audience instea
