Luckily there are democracies who are fianlly not ok with 1.5c and significant climate change long term. Time will tell who wins out.

When you say "metaverse", what do you mean? I'm not interested in the trade itself, I just don't see the metaverse as really properly established yet so where is this taking place? Maybe I'm out of touch.

And ... this is why I've always said it's either all or nothing and why FSD and similar are pointless until in, who knows, 10 years time(if that) it becomes ready for prime time. Sure, youtubers can video it for fun and drink the

If you think Spacex isn't in bed with the US military, and won't be increasingly so in future for the usual reasons, you're living in cloud cuckoo land.

Shocking.

That's totally going to have an impact.

There can never be a free market solution as long as there is a need allocate resources between those who have and those who do not have, without letting the latter not die on the street. I'd be interested in how the free market develo

Ok, I'll take all of that at face value and as given. It just sounds completely broken over there and I'm not sure I will manage to wrap my head around it. All I know is simpler systems around the world exist and work such that th

Cool story. So what you're saying is there is an horrendous creeping bueaucracy cost here. Funny, because that's exactly what free market proponents argue is the cause of inefficiency in publicly managed healthcare systems, and th

Owners, private equity firms, VC's ... whoever is the ultimate lever in this arena. It's not hard.

No, not really. I mean, I'll use lane-assist and cruise control for very simple situations on a motorway. That's it. I know what the car is going to do, but I'm still driving and that's fine. It would drive me nuts to ha

I do sometimes like to be called a flaneur. Thanks.

Personally couldn't disagree more. "High mental activity guided by will power" sounds like a fantastic foundation for any role and my ideal. There is a place for manual labour (been there, done that), and both can work. Peopl

And there we have it. Proof that there is a market for lemons.

The bottom line is that FSD as sold is nowhere near ready for prime time, still. As in, you always have to supervise it. Who's wants to be their cars supervisor? For me, it's either fully drive and enjoy your driving ... or full F

Non restrictive. I definitely enjoy all manner of food, sometimes even fast food. Though I'm 95% vegetarian and very occasionaly eat fish, which I love. Have to admit, I'm quite carb-dominant at the moment, potato, bread, pasta, b

Colitis - I haven't read the article but will soon. But here is a data point for anyone with Colitis, if it helps. I started IF in July as a means to lose a bit of lockdown weight. No breakfast, no lunch, only a substantial dinner. 4-5

No. I've not read tfa but being stopped under suspicion of carrying drugs at an aiport because a sniffer-dog got a bit too excited about a humous sandwich I'd just bought tells me answer to this question. Also raising the question

Nah, I'm talking about the rest of us dossers ... who spent years creating on the early internet for absolutely no reward. Creativity was its own reward. Just need the AI robots to feed us and we can stop worrying about the monetisatio

I have Roku spread across our entire renovated house including an outbuilding. Rock solid. 4 devices. Teamed up with Plex, and has been a fantastic experience so far (1 year and counting). Simple. Solid. Works. Nothing but praise from my si

The entire early stage internet raises its hands and says "w'oah there!!! we could have been paid for all that?"
