Can anyone provide a link to the paper? I've googled and haven't been able to find anything.

Considering there's a finite punt of resources on this planet, disposable things really rub me the wrong way. I love the price point but the irresponsibility of marketing things like this as disposable irks me.

Also, Adam Neumann walks away with $1.2 billion for selling $1 for $0.50 while a third of the workforce gets pink slips. I mean, they were obviously way over-staffed so this day was coming no matter what but it just sucks to see Neumann wal

What is your definition of a free market? I see this so often but few people seem to understand the inherent contradiction. If a market is truly free it will naturally tend toward monopoly thereby extinguishing itself. If it is regulated t

Use the official desktop client for windows. The Linux version has to be run using wine, but there's a snap that makes the install a one-clicker. Use keepass2android for mobile. Use a keyfile and password just in case your password is

Use keepass. It's an encrypted db with great mobile and desktop clients. Problem solved.

Im sorry to hear about your situation. I asked the question because I have a family member who was in a similar situation to you and rather than make prudent choices, he made decisions based on pride and not wanting hand outs. Years later

Can someone cc the Sanders or Warren campaign. This is ripe for national debate. Hard to imagine this isnt a good wedge issue.

Im confused as to why you don't just walk away. After 7 years it will fall off your credit report and u can start over.

I have to agree. Php is probably the easiest and moat productive languages I ever learned. The docs were great and the error messages always pointed me im the right direction very quickly. It's no surprise that the language caught on

Can we just say it? Reddit's redesigne has made it measurably less performant and harder to us. Nothing happens when u press a link for about half a second. They clearly switched to some kind of spa but I don't understand why.

I switched (back) to firefox after the quantum update and havent looked back. I haven't used chrome in years so im not able to compare performance but I've had nice issues in that department with ff. I use brave for mobile.

I should've been more clear. I don't host the clients; rather, I host the databases. That's why I prefer keepass - it's just an encrypted db which is lightweight and the clients tend to be lightweight as well.

Given the requirements of self hosting, ill just stick with keepass. The desktop and mobile clients are great and I can host them on my nextcloud and grab them over WebDAV.

Not to be too cute but by relying on corporations you're trading one dictatorship for another. Im not saying an oppressive government is the same as Comcast. Im just making the point that neither entity is accountabile to the people th

But here's the thing: the reality of current power in western countries is that it has been completely captured by large corporations and capital. Anything that causes disruption to the flow if money and growth will not be considered.

I find it hard to take news outlets seriously on this subject when they keep the kid gloves on concerning the current president of Brazil. The reticence to call his "victory" what it really was: a coup. The intercept [0] laid out

You're not wrong in that both things can be true at the same time. I think the wording that more accurately describes my thoughts would be "... legitimately surprised."

I think it's important to not gloss over what the markets are looking for in companies they want to grow as fast as possible: monopoly. IMO, the shift to "show me profits" could be as much about the growing societal and regul

I've been reading zerohedge since 2008. I've not really liked the turn it took around 2015-2016 but it seems to have come back around and become a bit more balanced than it was in those early days of flirting with being a full on
