The real difference is that having running water for washing things is a necessity, and can be also provided in an ecologically sensible way. Manufacturing trillions of plastic spoons is insanity, but that's the free market for you. We

Ironically though you would be able to stand out just by being decent, genuine human being, but that's hard for most people trying to make it in the attention economy.

Substack makes a lot of money from promoting misinformation on vaccines, climate change and other issues, harming a lot of people. I rarely click on Substack links, they managed to attract all the propagandists and cultists other platforms

300 million laptops are sold each year, less than 30 million of those are made by Apple, and they start at $1200. I'm just guessing but I would expect a good 70 million of those 270 million laptops to be sold at premium between the ult

They are completely different markets, the M1 and M2 are part of Apple's consumer devices, mostly premium notebooks running macOS. That's a niche market even compared to premium notebooks running Windows.

They are homeless not Amish. People can have jobs too while being homeless, since you often can't afford rent in many parts of the world with just a single income. You have to choose between a roof over your head, or eating and having

Obviously a world governance system that works is the solution, how else would you even solve problems like climate change that don't stop at the borders. The problem is the incentives, and of course the root of the problem is the lack

They are actually calling themselves incels, they are not shameful of it. I wasn't being snarky, they are really digging the identity and the subculture, along with the rape and the mass murder. Every other post on incel forums is some

I'm pretty sure the entire point of them is using them for military purposes, but things will get exciting when the police gets their hand on them, and even more exciting when the criminals do. The future is way too exciting if you ask

Also because of a lack of imagination. Imagine using these puppies in large cities. The world lacks a better class of terrorists. Saudi Arabia used to do some wild stuff with planes back in 2001, prompting the United States to kill a millio

Wind turbines shouldn't be audible from the distances showed in the video. The noise falls sharply after 300 meters. The shadow flicker can reach up to 1500 meters for the largest rotors, but in the video it affects what looks like a b

Exactly my point, and I'm working on a complicated web app on top of Pages Functions and Durable Objects. The idea is that you can provide dynamic functionality without or with less client-side JavaScript, which is what SSR is about, a

As far as I know Cloudflare Pages Functions with Durable Objects or D1 is the only edge infrastructure that can do this currently. D1 uses SQL as it is built on SQLite, and Durable Objects is used for coordination, but also has a transactio

Checks and balances are about the concentration of power, it's not just an American thing. The separation of powers is a closely related concept. Never said that the United States was a democracy, although it is both a democracy and a

Literally every organized society does this. A policeman or a tax auditor literally have power over you right now. The devil however is in the balances. The difference between the commies and their oligarchic hellscape and a democracy is th

All kinds of unfettered, capitalist, libertarian networks whether they are centralized or decentralized sooner or later end up being owned and controlled by a handful of oligarchs. The solution to empowering individuals is accountability. W

This is hard to believe since there were conflicts between the protesters and the residents, who didn't feel safe. There was a heightened lack of security, a sense of lawlessness during this time. The Ottawa Police Service was unprepar

There is such a thing as facts and truth. Yes, the partisanship is unfortunate, but it happens. It happened back in 1939 too, and there was a right side back then too. It wasn't flawless by any measure, it was just better than the othe

To be fair most of us feels that way. Take a peek at Fox News, or Truth Social and Parler, or just look up what Trump, DeSantis or Abbott is doing these days. You tell me if it's a parody or not.

The difference is that radical left-wingers usually want better wages, free, universal health care, free education, a solution to climate change, gun control, equal chances. Some of them also advocate for a societal transition to veganism,

The Canada convoy protest was peaceful, except for the bribery, threats, assault, dangerous driving and setting a building on fire. That and the $6 billion economic loss, or the fact that nobody wanted them there, or that the protesters wer

These alternatives are not very popular, and once they try to scale they face the same problems their popular brethren does. PayPal sucks, but it's also somewhat works for half a billion people.
