In fact, it would have been hard to provide a better proof of your point!

How do you know that was an unanticipated effect? Also, what about all other cases where interventionism didn't work, that is, made things worse? How can you tell a priori wether intervening will have good results? Moreover, if you&#x2

Intervention wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't so hard to roll back on interventions set in motion that turned out to be a failure. When dealing with complex systems specially, our attempts to make things "better" often do

We’d need to collect tons of taxes just to pay for the bureaucracy needed to not tax anything considered essential to human life.

I find this highly unlikely, but then again I'm not a "researcher", so what do I know?

Why do we keep referring to engineers as full stack, frontend, or backend? I guess this is a relic from times when the predominant software architecture was tier-based. Does this distinction still apply? Why?

To me a telltale sign is we you just don’t give a fuck about your work anymore, even though you previously cared and maybe even enjoyed it.

You say that a country such as Germany taking in skilled workers from European countries and other places in the world don’t make a big difference?

I don't think those things necessarily answer the question. Also, how long has China been at extending their influence abroad? How long does these processes take? Obviously, in the case of Europe, this has been going on for centuries.

How do you know China isn’t being influenced?

I think that's the correct term. I don't think there's such a thing as cultural homogeneity. If ethnic japanese start doing weird stuff as judged by "japanese culture", this weird stuff will immediately be considere

While people try to figure out how to feed themselves, it'd be a good opportunity to blame you for their problems and get some political capital :)

As penitence, they could use the profits to open a fund that rewards people who achieved great things in fields on human endeavor. Let’s say chemistry, physics, literature, activism, etc. A committee would get together on an annual basis to

I think that the widespread implementation of crypto would immediately make the world more complex and thus less susceptible to centralizing forces. This means that in order to get things done, society will have to rely more on self-organiz

Just here to say that besides the good points that the author makes in defense of Crypto, I also support wholeheartedly its right-libertarian roots, despite the negative connotation it receives in the article.
