We need a diverse set of online communities again.

Doubtful. More likely that there will be robocops to stop you from loitering in the scenic places.

How do you propose that should happen? Seems impossible to me.

They are stuck in the bubble. They too will come out.

Be careful, you can mess up your kidneys.

This is not a “left” vs “right” issue. The world is more complex than that.

You are making your argument based solely on what will or will not work in the USA. - I am not American; I’m from Sweden but live in Switzerland. Generally people are healthy in both countries and have a social democratic slant; Sweden more

So your counter argument is that the “poor” person will simply sell it because they are immediately cash strapped. That may very well be true. But first of all, I am not arguing that _poor_ people get ownership shares in the economy, but ev

Why is negotiating with Netanyahu acceptable? After all, he has more blood on his hands than Hamas combined. Of course the answer is that without negotiations there is only one path forward - hostile action.

I’m not arguing for state ownership. I am arguing for ownership redistribution.

Why would it "not work"? The whole point of my idea is the wealth redistribution. Taxing the rich does not have the same effect as redistributing shares in the economy, from the generational wealthy to everyone else. If the "

Yes, it will devalue existing shares, which are mostly owned by a small part of the population. It’s not “everybody else’s”. I am not saying the value of the shares will increase, I am saying the value will be redistributed.

My pet solution to wealth inequality is to distribute the wealth by printing shares in public and large private corporations and handing them out to the general population when the individual is born, but full control handed over gradually

I don’t remember that at all. Maybe in some circles.

Who will lose? People who are attempting to build a bright utopia?

Holy shit this is the ycombinator CEO? If you the reader are working on these technologies, I encourage you take a good look at yourself in the mirror. You are building a surveillance state for the rich to use against yourself, me and every

No, Sweden did the same mistake. We shut down ~50% of our reactors and are now paying high prices. Completely unnecessary.

Yes, large scale infrastructure projects takes time. 15 years is not really that long. I would rather we started rebuilding our energy infrastructure today than later…

Our electricity was a lot cheaper when we had more nuclear. It doesn’t take a genius to figure out that dismantling functional nuclear power plants, like they did in Germany and Sweden, has been detrimental for Europe. Now the same people w

I work for an American mega corporation that you’ve definitely heard of - my department relies heavily on a couple of spread sheets. They have survived 3 times of corporate buy out of my factory. The spreadsheets looked dated when I starte

Why would I want to watch any of this?

Perhaps if they had remained true to their original mission, they would have been able to recruit the genius required.

Why would that be better?

No, but the core software may very will be written.

No.

No it wasn’t. The internet peaked in 2005, or whatever year Firefox had the most popularity. It’s only been downhill from there. The internet was a lot better place before American mega corporations took total control. It was mostly neighbo

Why didn’t they just change the rules? “Having a supervisor around” isn’t necessarily a requirement from the union.

Maybe for a short period. Honestly Firefox(phoenix) was my browser of choice. Internet explorer became the dominant browser for one reason only: it came by default.
