If it succeeds, we will have to admit that everything we knew about human society, was wrong. I just can't see it happening. People don't like living in dictatorship and will instinctively refused to reproduce as long as they have

Well... if we had a constant stream of inventions so that people will always have things they'd love to have but struggle to afford, then there won't be a need to induce demand. But we don't have nearly enough: people have mo

Isn't artificially delaying "normal" orders same thing as speeding up priority ones? I mean, it means executing priority ones out of queue. Unless they just force the deliverymen sit and do nothing for extra 5-10 minutes, whi

Less consumer-oriented culture demands brainwashing, totalitarianism and terror, to force people to not do things they naturally want to, when there is a capability for doing that (if there's no capability, a nation will be physically

Just like in Soviet Union's case, trick isn't how to topple a regime, a sufficiently rotten one will fall by itself, but how to make sure the country that remains is sufficiently neutered to not become a menace again. It was simpl

History teaches that genocide, ethnocide or ethnic cleansing is the only way ethnic conflicts truly end. For Israel/Hamas conflict, genocide of either party is the only way. So hopefully, there will never be a solution and they will ju

In the fall of USSR, no one was "afraid to shoot". No one was motivated to do so. Or do anything for the completely failed system that no longer worked for anyone, inside or outside it. By 1991, no one cared for good ol' Unio

If course, majoring in computer science is now misguided. Because even as the art isn't obsolete, and developers will not disappear, there will be persistently more supply than demand just because of how much did the productivity incre

Those who claim that recent years brought nothing but bigotry, division, and slop, should consider lives of those people. For the first time ever, nearly all of them can live a normal life today thanks to GLP-1.

Labor disputes are always a good sign; shows people aren't afraid of being fired meaning at least that particular corner of labor market is in good shape.

That's quite natural, any wordle trick that decreases chances of losing, increases your averages, it's a tradeoff.

Upwork, majority of them (i'm top ~40 freelancer there and at one point was top ~10). The rest, non-repeatable, non-systematic randos.

Why can't it be the actual tiktok? By simply winning competition with humans i.e. whereas vast majority of humans see their pay go too low to bother to continue?

Somehow, word of mouth never worked for me. I only ever got one repeat customer (he was really really good first time, but second time, mediocre), and one customer through a referral (very good, but just once). Out of 170+ over 25 years. I

In wartime, drones shouldn't be a concern at all. They are a thing in Russo-Ukrainian war only because neither side has a viable air force. Theatre isolation facilitated by air superiority on either side makes a conflict like that much

The article predates latest batch of news and things appear to be a lot better than it assumes. With latest nowcasts of Atlanta Fed, it seems like overall GDP growth will be at around 2.5% this year, and given mass deportations that resulte

Caviar is now cheap to grow and is grown on a mass scale everywhere. Best caviar i got to eat is grown in Belarus. Got to say, quality problems with caviar has indeed been fixed everywhere - even buying in questionable/untested stores

But this isn't how the pill works. It doesn't "let you eat whatever you want and still lose weight". It makes you stop craving shit.

Fair observation - everything after late 2015 MacBook Pro and before M1, was shit in one way or the other. The 2019 butterfly model was good if you replace keyboards once every 3 months or so, Apple service kindly did it for me for free abo

That was the case in 2023. Not anymore. Simplest builds still use Chinese parts, but many producers are using all-Ukrainian electronics, designed and produced within Ukraine (GALYCHYNA FC, FRANKIVSK ESC etc. - all clones of SpeedyBee, of co

That's a much smaller issue than it sounds, Ukraine produces millions of drones without any Chinese components at all except magnets for electric motors, and li-poly cells. Certainly no Chinese electronics. Even lenses for thermal opti
