Unpopular opinion for sure... But I think you're right, in that, nobody is considering other costs of lockdown.

Well, I only left high school last year... I don't think it's impossible to at least guess this. I think I got very lucky in realising that the school's goals (push me to university) were not aligned with my own.

> Seriously. I don't understand why there isn't a movement to regulate ISP's like utilities at this point. Why aren't mayors and governors running on this as a major plank? Who do you think gave them these monopolies

Sure, and more to the point, currencies tend to be bootstrapped by some value that backs it (gold, oil or even just faith).

This seems like a horrible idea. How does nobody realize that you can't just "will" a currency into having value? A piece of paper won't produce value... At least bitcoin gains it's value from traders buying USD wit

I think you touched on a great point here. Thinking a lot about this lately and I'm convinced the authority figures don't just don't understand why people have stopped trusting them. Trump's election was a perfect sympto

For most people they're personally investing their energy in what they consider more important issues. We all only have so much energy to go around, and this obviously comes low on GP's list. This is in the same vain as online adv

The stalking thing seems hyperbolic. In my experience as both shopper and employee, many seek to have as few conversations as possible.

It's not about large competitors with deep pockets, but that network effects mean a shitty FB clone can be worth more than entire businesses designed around specific concepts.

Just having the mindset of "we need to validate this" isn't enough. Having the mindset of trying to disprove a theory encourages people to look in new areas. Diversity of thought is important because a monoculture stalls inno

Eh?? Brexit was fiercely decried by the ruling class. The only reason the vote happened was because it threatened to break up the conservative party. Nobody expected the result we got. The media doesn't cancel people directly but they

These values matter, but nobody is willing to defend them. In fact, things have been getting worse for years now (e.g. cancel culture)

Performance per dollar, and usually more energy efficient. NVIDIA coasts on their proprietary extensions imo.

Agree in theory, but alas, not in practice. Nobody's going to get funding for disproving/attacking climate theories.

If someone in academia spent serious time and money trying to disprove climate change, they would be laughed out of their job. But this is a horrible culture because we won't learn anything by publishing the same dogma over and over. E
