I think the fundamental component is house prices. Our ancestors had much cheaper housing as a multiple of the median wage, and could mostly afford to buy based on the paid labor of the father alone. Those same ancestors are still sticking

Not having children - and not curating a presumably well-mannered and intelligent next-generation - leaves our civilization worse off and large problems that much harder to solve. Human intellect is rare, and partly hereditary. Please pass

EVs will crush revenues on maintenance, servicing, and spares, since there are fewer and simpler parts. These revenue lines are very high-margin. Its probable that one major global auto company will fail in the next decade.

I think the potential for 'bad actors' on the roads is significantly reduced just by eliminating the human driver!

We might have to contemplate that we need to change our roads if we want automomous cars. We have lanes for carpooling - why not lanes for autonomous vehicles? The road surface could have special markers to centre the vehicle, and to positi

At what point does China just develop its own mobile OS? There seems value in just taking the reigns, and making whatever you create open-source, so that ZTE and all the other Chinese manufacturers can use it as well. Its certainly a major

If you want to build your own SFF PC, using more powerful and widely available components, there is a good guide here from the SFFPC subreddit: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1bzVdvmb4jCohQz0xPN1_...

Why? Take the weight and heat out of the device, and put the PSU on the ground out of sight. I wish I could use an external PSU for my desktop!

Outside you get to enjoy low-CO2 air of 415ppm. Inside, in an 'insulated' and sealed apartment, CO2 levels will exceed 1000ppm in a few hours, which has negative consequences for human cognition and sleep quality. I'd recomme

Its time to buck up and make some sacrifices for the sake of our health and our planet. All of these problems can be overcome with a little bit of effort. Are we that collectively lazy?

The technology is ready - EVs - but the ramp up is taking too long. States and cities need to ban the sale of new non-hybrid ICE vehicles starting now - there are already options at all price points.

More that the hyper-efficient food supply chains of modern supermarkets demand rigourous reliability, which industrialised growing and slaughtering of cows, pigs and chickens can provide, but hunting kangaroos cannot. I also suspect that wh

Gigabit is basically the default capability of fiber to the home. If you're going to basically relay and reinstall your communications infrastructure, it would be dumb to do it with copper. And Gigabit is certainly not overkill when vi

If those companies are based in the US, EU, or China, sure. The whole GDPR, Content Filtering thing seems like a massive opportunity for a savvy, unregulated South American, African or Asian company to take advantage of.

I've bought a few games on Epic, and had no problems. The lack of junkware like on Steam is great – I can honestly browse the store knowing that every game is high quality (even if not necessarily in the genre I enjoy). Achieveemnts no

What do you mean 'will cause' - it has already happened. Almost all children learn English in Government primary school in Europe, and quite a lot study at private schools with the entire curriculum in that language. The legacy lo

Its really time for Steam to respond. Eventually the Epic store will match the features of Steam, and open more broadly to upper-tier Indie games. What will be left on Steam? There has already been a notable lack of launches this year. Stea

And most of those other sites charged high commissions, lacked region locking, and also meant you would get less visibility on Steam due to lower sales on that platform.

For Academia, yes. All of the scientific articles are written in that language. The youngest generations are hugely influenced by Youtube and the internet, and many speak English more fluently than their own legacy local language. This is a
