Because nearly all warm weather is objectively livable, whereas cold weather is actively dangerous. If you're using AC to be able to survive then you aren't the target. The target is the Walmarts that cool the building to 68 degre

An advertising executive probably makes more than enough to not be an advertising executive if they so choose. You don't find it ironic that an advertising executive goes to Burning Man? Advertising, a cornerstone of late-stage capital

Maybe I'm wrong about this, but I have a feeling it's because the primary demographic of music listener is getting younger and younger. With streaming platforms like Spotify and Youtube, I imagine that teenagers and even young chi

I don't think you want to go down this rabbit hole. Free time and relaxing is important investment IMO. My own experience with this philosophy was that it results in heavy burnout. And besides, you never know what you'll get out o

It is false advertising, simple as that. Nobody is going to do anything about it though, because our politicians are bought. Best thing you can do is boycott and hope they will change.

I do have stuff I want hidden. Why is that such a damn crime?

Yes, I'm always amazed at people who use pot to sleep. If I smoke I will be up for hours.

I'd rather not lend my money to evil people.

No, but I'm sure many of the people working on it will continue to deny that they are simply building tools of control. That, or they don't care, or think it's a good thing.

New information is always being obtained, and abstract frameworks are not always logically consistent.

How much can you condense a city if you have no roads at all? What I mean is that walking/biking/scootering in a city with no roads is probably twice, if not more, times more efficient.

Nice, now it needs some armor casing and it will be just like a cockroach. My pocket surveillance device will now be impossible to destroy!

Isn't it a stereotype that poor people are the ones taking the bus/train?

I use Venmo and immediately set my preferences to private. Admittedly though, I will browse through the public transactions of my friends out of interest in what they are up to.

Wow. Where is the government oversight here?

One thing I've never understood is how computers using one ISP connect with computers using another ISP. Is there some sort of law that requires that one ISP's cable must be able to interact with another ISP's cable? What inc

Here's a thought experiment. Satoshi (who we'll pretend is Hal Finney) owns 10% of Bitcoin, we assume he's lost the keys. Bitcoin becomes a global, and universal currency as we slowly colonize the entire galaxy. Satoshi has b

Why doesn't she try empathizing with men before basically telling us that it's our problem and that we need to change? If women are so much more "pro-social" than men, maybe they need to use their skills to fix the probl

Maybe, but there is selection bias when looking at just girls who go to all-girls schools. Assuming they are mostly private, this would likely select for wealthier families, which may have a correlation with STEM careers. Furthermore, girls
