Did someone need to downvote me to disagree with my opinion? What kind of person are they? Now, some points. what economics is a science now Are you kidding? 3D-animation is not a science but you still can understand how it is done a

morally ambiguous act of consuming What? I mean, you can argue that it’s “morally ambiguous” in the same sense that almost everything is ambiguous, for example being happy and enjoying an evening with your friends while some people

I don’t know, I don’t buy the “let’s make people suffer so that they’ll revolt” logic. I don’t think that EU should make Belarus citizens suffer. And ideally there should be better internationally-sanctioned ways to replace disfunctional go

Absolutely! I remember asking to export my data from one of the services and the support pretty much ignored me (they replied in general but “forgot” to mention anything related to that question).

It feels like the ban hits ordinary citizens more. The rich and the powerful (including politicians) won’t be affected as much. :(

You could, you are right! :) I still think that batteries are a slower, more complicated (and therefore expensive), heavier and less environmentally friendly tech. Hydrogen just seems more “elegant” somehow. Again, offering potential for mu

Hydrogen is the future of electric transportation! Imagine you are driving and you have several cartridges of magnesium hydride and when you pass by a refueling station a drone catches up with you and swaps nearly-depleted cartridges one by

Interesting! At some point on harder levels I started forcing myself to select the example which looks worse to me and thus I started getting more of the questions “correctly”! I suppose some people find things beautiful that are slightly i

Why wouldn’t people just switch to something else?

Not as decentralized as one is expected to believe indeed.

Yes, you could probably use something like this: https://www.line-us.com/shop.html Or any plotter for that matter. Your progress bar in general will only be able to go forward unless the plotter is able to erase. You could

I like that they didn’t go all out on those dark patterns and created a rather user-friendly and straightforward version of how that experience feels in real life.

I wish they now added a subscription plan or a pricing model for people who use the software several hours per month.

I would like to add that not all people see it as that bad. On some Android phones these apps are already pre-installed and you can’t even delete them. You have to disable them one by one. On Apple you’ll be able to simply click “No” and

The code quality is one thing but its longevity doesn’t seem to me like a problem in itself.

Does it feel like it took surprisingly long to port it?

“Interesting” logic. “We eradicate HIV. So what? Malaria will occupy it’s place in the list of deadly diseases. We stop serial killer A. So what? Serial killer B will become number 1. We stopped all burglars. So what? Cyber-crime becomes th

I am wondering a bit what is meant here by “disruption”. As I see the situation, some people seem to believe that as professionals we don’t necessarily have to use “the best tools available” and if you can save a little by getting “almost a

That’s a timely article and it has some good points. I myself would say instead of “you should quit social media”, you should quit particular platforms that have too many toxic users (trolls and just rude people) and you should quit platfor

Thanks! That looks good! Thought on the second thought, I’ll continue to use the more “manual” method for now. As it gives me more control and it would be easier to switch off when touch ID sudo will be supported more officially.

I was kind of guessing that that might be the future actually, not battery-powered EVs. Simply because of the large installed base (and affordability especially considering the secondary market). And then of course hydrogen for more hight t

What’s so hard about meat? Just stope eating it! :D Quite a few people are saying that they are not going vegan because not enough medical professionals are saying that it is safe. Solution: sponsor more research that tries to find out whet

Really exciting news! I am a big believer in both small electric vehicles as the future of urban transportation and hydrogen as a better energy storage mechanism than lithium batteries. :)

Good point. But the healthcare situation is a different topic.

Immigrants everywhere are brought in to work for smaller wages than locals. What’s so new or unusual about this? The situation is unfortunate, of course. But the U.S. is not much different here. However, doing the same thing as everyone wit
