They absolutely should. They won't, but they should. A lot of the modern megacorps basically made their money by ignoring laws that were put in place to prevent farming the younger generation, and yet here we are.

I'm well aware, and it's purposefully ignoring that the video is not bringing up anything new, nor were the authors beliefs new. It's implying that they would not have come to the same conclusions when it's just not tru

I find it amusing how many people like you didn't notice the large amount of people bringing up all the points that this video made on the first day, as justification for why they doubted the hell out of this claim.

We had similar nonsense with r the EM Drive and cold fusion so this isn’t that new. Either way the best video I’ve seen on this whole thing, Abe why it’s endlessly frustrating, is this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zl-Agm

Which was back when you had a bunch of options. If firefox goes under and chromium throws up, it's not like there's a large field of choices.

I'm honestly not sure if you're joking but in case you're not, the "minimum viable size" is hardly the largest issue with what you're proposing and it sounds like you're not getting what the key issues are

Eh. It's more a correction caused by over globalization. Too many theorists decided to claim that "no one would ever risk their economy!" and since it made lines go up globally everyone bought in. Then Russia invaded Ukrain

This is such a weird example to me, mostly because I've yet to come across a language that doesn't have awkward gotchas, and that one is one of the easiest ("ah yeah...= is only assignment in a let..weird"). The article

It's because people aren't excited about the science. They're excited about the speculation, the gossip, and the potential result. That is literally antithetical to the entire process of proper science, and the exact kind o

The responses to this comment illustrate how badly such things are needed. What's so frustrating about all of it, is I agree heavily with the sentiment, but it's like saying a house is badly built because the sky is too heavy. No
