   Questions, as the article is paywalled and I don't know: * what in Earth is a "wellbeing expert". This title sounds entirely made up, and I doubt there is such a degree. If there is no degree, what were they basing their reco

   Not even remotely true. This is an urban myth.

   I generally agree, and also that it's impossible to take a book to video without change. I tend to try to think of it like this, imagine Bob and Jim watched a battle scene, but one from the west, the other from the east side. Bob wro

   How is this even upvoted. It's the most offensive website since ICQ. Music blaring, things bouncing in front of text, and the link goes a page that says nothing about OpenAI.

   Not in Spain. I can access my bank's website but I can't do anything without their bank app. Even sometimes they require to confirm my identity using their app in order to access their website. I've seen this elsewhere, and

   We might presume that was the goal, yet it wasn't explicitly stated. And many have a goal of generic wealth redistribution, and will inject such into any conversation about large companies. One might note the unrestrained concern abou

   That's too arbitrary, and you say that as if a billion dollars is a lot of money. It's not. There was a time when millionaires were considered 'rich'. Now that's just a retiree, in most housing markets, who's

    We had web browsers, kinda, in that we'd call up BBSes, and use ansi for menus and such. My Vic20 could do this, and a C64 easily, really it was just graphics that were wanting. I was sending electronic messages around the world via Fi

    OK Bob, we'll roll out this ridiculously silly "shorts" thing of yours, but only if we auto bail for users who stop engaging. True or not, tis funny to me.

    Plus was an abysmal failure though. Had it succeeded even somewhat, it would have taken some or much of FB's ad coin, and added it to itself. EG, their massive failure is why it meant nothing. The potential market was huge.

    Viewing this thread, and the back and forth of it, I need to say something. Advertising sucks in this thread too. By that I mean, people are not speaking plainly, and it is almost ingrained into our societies now. We "sell" our p

    I watch it every few years. I read the books a while back, I should probably re-read. I sadly feel that its premise becomes more real yearly.

    I think you should look into common-law marriage. At least in Canada, living together for 2 years, means you are much closer to being married than not. It's even applicable for taxes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki&#x2F

    This is an insane perspective. I just gave them life, vs death. I just gave a little of myself, so they don't starve, aren't going to freeze to death, and are safe. Yes, I don't want them comfortable. You think this means

    What on earth are you even talking about? The person in my description would be housed, fed, safe. To this you say, we're well beyond the scarcity that would require this. Believe it or not, people still work to produce almost everyth

    All form of welfare should keep a person alive, but never comfortable. Living in a one room dwelling, with a shared bathroom is unpleasant, but safe, warm, and has a bed. Having enough for basic food, but no luxuries. My point is, welfare(

    So it will enslave us in tricky ways? Like maybe using ways to make technology super addictive, so our entire society changes, and writing algos to control our global discourse on important topics, and, uh, never mind. Already been done.
