Stop producing meat, stop international flights, stop selling cars, stop producing clothes. That's the only way people will abide these policies. What's the point of saving the planet if you destroy your life?

Telling people to rile up against climate change let's industrialism get away with it. If I'm to downgrade my life, it better be from trickle down ecology rather than frugality.

Another alarmist article. Can we please get concrete, non-negotiable deadlines with clear goals? E.g. by 2030 - only electric cars, by 2040 - only recyclable materials, by 2050... Statistics and expert warnings are nothing new and the vast

Those who need garbage propaganda and are trained to handle it without manipulation, can use a VPN. Most people don't give 2 thoughts.

What? You don't have to 'learn' any bosses. You can beat all bosses by just striking a few times and rolling away. You don't have to learn any patterns or cheeses or weaknesses. IMO that's not a fun way to play. You

Again you assume I'm talking about "any industry". I am talking about the software industry, which makes the world run without licenses. I'm glad you know outliers and I'm glad you know about normal distributions.

Have you tried getting a serious job without a degree? Education is used as a de facto license. One exception is education cannot be revoked, but then again people who write buggy, leaky code don't get fired let alone forbidden from pr

We aren't slowing down, we are going back to normal levels of development. For the last 20 years we've been rushing and agiling everything for the sake of money, sacrificing backwards compatibility and maintainability. Reusing old

We already have licenses, they're called university degrees. You can get certifications, e.g. Cisco, but those are overpriced. We should be avoiding centralized authority, the profession allows it. We are knowledge workers and it so ha

You mean intent? Planning? Having pictures of disabled people with darts on them? Or do you mean dismissive emotions like racism? Bigotry is passive, behavior is active. Courts judge your intent to repeatedly break the law, not your whims a

Last week on hacker news we had a headline stating young people are having less sex than ever. And people were right, a lot of youngsters are afraid of all the overblown drama. Is kissing sexual harassment? Sexting? Having sex without writt

What's a bigot? What's a law? What's happening is the average person's quality of legal life is falling. Most people are not terrorists, they are spied on as such. Most people are not abusive partners, they are taught wi

Exercise doesn't have to be at the gym. You can do fairly high level calisthenics with a weighed bag and/or Olympic rings Excellent books on the topic like Your Body is Your Gym, Overcoming Gravity, and Paul Wade's ultimate i

Humans and animals are inherently fallacious in judgment. We can no more trust a flawed machine.

That's overly complicated. You can't look at someone and say "Yep, he watches porn." It's more likely people satiate their primitive needs with porn, and realise they don't need all the emotional extras/bu

Sure, their job is non-grinding and non-STEM so they have tons of leeway in "corporate relations". They can afford to ride the wide margins of behavior their position provides, and game the system. Meanwhile sociopath engineer mea
