The question that must be asked, why with the stagnant population, cities need to keep expanding? Maybe it's unwise to move young, rich and actively working people to city centers with no shelters and no chance to escape? Maybe this is

I never understood how "rise of cloud computing" could help anyone. Clouds are overpriced and useless. Only thing they did was to obscure the very existence of dedicated servers from the average person so they feel compelled to us

It's not like they will make money by selling their services. They will make money by being everything else. Like, "replace newspapers and news sites by AI content they generate, putting everyone in the news and media out of job

People only mean that AI companies themselves (which are huge by necessity because of immense scale of compute required, and limited hyper-expensive, unique talent they use, although that is secondary). They are supposed to grab all the val

The safest are the licensed professions because numbers of new entrants are regulated by cartel and people won't be able to let go of the demand because again, regulations. Simply put, safest jobs will be red-taped sinecures.

How long it will be until there will be nothing left to scrape and this activity ends? I mean, at some point payback from it will become less than 0 because they will be consuming more AI generated stuff than real (even adjusted for their a

This is the stance i take with all digital content: selling it is a good thing to do. Buying it isn't.

It's laughable how young leftists manage to put every single thing that happens, in a negative way. Truly a generation of naggers. I can see only one negative explanation to it - "people drink less because drinking is a social thi

I only found out that homeless was not a crime, around 10 years ago - i always assumed that it was and have always been a crime, just the police was too busy with more serious stuff/won't prosecute it for some subjective reasons l

Why don't people see the obvious? Jobs (those making any significant money, thus of any economic consequence like "if these people have no income to spend, economy will talk") are mostly bullshit jobs. They don't create

One weak point here is that US is intrinsically interested in fossil fuels, because it has a lot of them and it's natural to use them as a control tool. US is a major fossil energy exporter. There's nothing pro-Russian in any US f

My assertion is that this is mainly because of Communism and the Atheism it brought in. Surely it won't happen because of historical/cultural Atheism e.g. in China. Communism has destroyed the very idea of "society" as w

Well, in fact part of the reason why they left Russia is to be freer from threat of law enforcement. Ukraine is a more corrupt country and also doing shady things is more socially acceptable there. Don't get me wrong, i am a big suppor

It's a dangerous precedent. Ending legacy and donor admissions and other forms of preference to elites' kids will inevitably lead to loss of value of higher education on one side, and elites being uneducated and Trump-style dumb,

Of course, if you don't speak English, you are pretty much at the mercy of whatever your government throws at you. It's not the government's fault. See, it's pretty natural for any government to desire to enslave, brainw

Non-overweight people of course think this way, who will deny oneself a virtue?

by anovikov 1y ago
Sadly it seems to have very little effect in these domains on non-overweight people. In studies, on large groups, Ozempic helps people quit drinking a lot better than it helps quitting smoking - because alcoholics tend to be overweight but

by anovikov 1y ago
I know why people hate Ozempic. It is because it devaluates struggle and voids moral superiority of those who did keep themselves from becoming obese by self-restriction before: now these people feel like fools because all of a sudden, ever

What could be the threat of any sort of nationalism or racism within the EU where there are no borders and governments are strictly limited in what they can do? We clearly see it on the example of Hungary: not much.

4x4 Bentleys (the Bentayga) is a famous failure of a luxury car, they lose their values almost instantly once bought and people who buy them are not oligarchs but those who try to look rich on a budget. You can easily buy an almost new one

Why would rich parents be against this? Also, why are rich kids in same schools as poor ones? That would be unimaginable in "socialist, equitable" EU and makes no sense to me overall.

Maybe the idea is that limited teaching is better done to people who are more likely to be able to make usage of that knowledge in life?

Another side of it is that they do indeed spend a bigger fraction of their incomes on both housing and gas. Because they have the biggest houses on biggest plots, plus not just the elite owns separate houses, but most of population - which

Isn't housing exactly the most accessible of all the world save for 2-3 totalitarian countries like Oman, in the United States? According to the Numbeo data exactly. It also has nothing to do with labor vs capital. Billionaires don&#x2

I worked for a YC founder (won't name it ofc) on a project that went through its pipeline with a big success around 10 years ago, although for me it was evident that the idea was unworkable and i wondered how could they raise funding.

I never understood the "minimising consumption" thing. It's some form of Luddism. After all, the Left comes from original Socialists of the XIXth century and (proper, not Stalin type) Communists of the XXth. And these were no
