There is no downside to taking any vaccine. I've taken 4 different covid vaccines alongside all their associated boosters when they were available for free. For anyone that isn't afraid of needles and a little arm pain, it's

I can't wait until every car on the road is required by law to be self driving. You could have cars with no adults in them just driving puppers around, and it can tell the other cars hey watch out I've got a couple of good pupperi

The desire to "make money" is generally a proxy for the desire to provide value for others. It is easier to justify the investment of labor and resources that went into the production a camera if you can reciprocate the value for

only because the jobs of our time are fake. Playing football or lacrosse is more "real" than working a desk job. For thousands of years, humans had to hunt and make tools and relied on their wits and strength to survive. Survival

you know what grinds my gears? The fact that it takes 2 seconds for the android camera app to open, even when I use the shortcut on the lock screen. It's a step backwards from point-and-shoot cameras. I was trying to take a picture of

No. If you play 1000 hours of a sport, you will at least be stronger, more coordinated, more agile. But the downsides are more about repetitive strain injury and the possibility of screwing up your joints. Different benefits and downsides.

this is what I think. The change is that 10 of the highest-level weapon textures can be traded for a knife texture: the result is that the supply of knife textures goes up, but the supply of high-level weapon textures goes down significantl

I don't know, reading? Building something? Exploring the natural world? Sports? Not to say that all video games are unsubstantive. But the substance in exploring virtual world comes from its uniqueness, not playing de_dust2 for 1000 ho

they can buy pokemon cards. To be honest, I don't think CS:GO or TF2 or the like are pro-gambling. You learn pretty quickly as a kid that the best way to get good items is through trading, not gambling.

It is. It's not something you can wave away with some new political system. Automation results in centralization of power. It transforms labor-intensive work to capital-intensive work and reduces the leverage of the working class. You

I don't mean the quality is bad, it's just that most jobs in the first world seem to be redundant or abstracted from the keys of power. I think David Graeber wrote a book about it. Here is a guy talking about it: https:/&#x2

It is not a bug, it is a law of nature. The world has limited resources, time and labor being one of them. The technology proposes a source of labor for the elites so abundant that they will not need to trade their wealth with the eaters. H

You're correct that it is not new. Most people outside of hacker news are opposed to being cuckolded in their romantic relationships and automated out of their jobs.

I think you overstate the profundity. And like business it is a market and much of the same rules apply. If you disagree, feel free to argue your point instead of just scoffing at the idea.
