Whether you think it's a good thing or a bad thing, I think eventually sites will look at their viewership from specific countries with additional regulations and simply geoblock them if the economic cost of compliance is more than the

Not all tobacco products are equal because not all tobacco products are intended to be inhaled. Cigars and Pipe tobacco aren't intended to be inhaled and most people will not find them addictive. But there's no nuance regarding th

I doubt it. If that's where they wanted to go, they've missed the window for it already. There's already too many streaming services like Netflix and consumers are already annoyed navigating them all. Plus they don't hav

I doubt Youtube/Google cares that much. It's not really youtubes core business, more of a side gig for a set of products (cable channels) which frankly are in the process of dying.

Reddit was never and has never been about balanced information, I think the entire purpose of the site was never balanced information it was what was most popular with a particular subs hive mind, 10 years ago we just had different echo cha

Nope, any competitor just becomes a dumping ground for all the nasty shit that reddit has banned. If it were that simple, it would've been done by now, it certainly has been tried multiple times.

Facebook gets attacked because politicians believe it can be used to nudge peoples opinions en mass but in a way that's hard to detect. Reddit doesn't because everyone can see what's going on. You might not like it, but you c

Nobody is thinking about it that hard. Half the sites don't need it but they don't know for certain they don't need it, so they stick it in to be on the safe side because throwing a plugin on that adds it is about a 2 minute

yeah, those currencies are freely tradable though, CNY is not, it's pegged. No political way Fed will do that.

This is true, but I don't know to what extent Chinese businesses can purchase USD assets? My assumption is it's probably harder (you need Chinese government permission) to do so? Certainly chinese retail investors can't do it

The vast majority of evergrandes debt is denominated in CNY not USD I think. Bear in mind how tightly china controls access to its markets and its currency isn't easily convertible. In other words, there's probably far less spillo

In England it was optional to wear masks during the summer, I would estimate about 75% of people I saw in places like supermarkets chose not to wear them. So society, in England at least has already decided that if it's their choice, t

I wear masks when my country mandates that I should. But I think the issue is this... Covid is here to stay, many countries have very high vaccination rates at this point, so effectively if we continue to wear masks even in very high vaccin

I suppose I should clarify what I mean. I mean crypto is maybe the most interesting new "protocol" type thing to use the internet in a new and different way. We used to have lots of protocols that did different things but nowadays

I'm not involved in nor have I ever bought anything crypto related. But I'll say this for it, it's the most interesting new tech to hit the internet in the past couple decades. Everything else has been pretty incremental over

It struck me that NFT's in the context of art are basically autographs. People will pay far more than the standard value of a hardback for a hardback autographed by the author and even more for a first edition of a hardback autographed

What's not being spoken about in the article is interest rate increases. They're as low as they can go, the only way is up at some point. If rates increase, servicing current debts maybe impossible forcing people to sell and finan

I'm still yet to understand how a lot of relatively poorly paid work that probably still needs to be done, gets done under UBI. UBI leads to people not doing particular jobs because sitting at home on UBI with less but enough money is

Interesting post, it inspired me to think about why I do similar. Conclusion I came to, is that my brain doesn't want to expend a lot of effort and energy on optional things. If I've got a deadline coming up on something that&#x27

China doesn't have a convertible currency, it might cause turmoil in China but I don't see how it can effect the rest of the world much.

I think a lot of them do. It's not uncommon to hear of devs removing DRM after a certain number of months. Especially nowadays where after a certain point they just want people to play the game ready for when the sequel comes out.

It's really only to protect the launch window. Most games will be discounted later on to the point where they're more or less affordable to everyone. But if someone pirates on release they'll never be inclined to buy at that

It's the nature of the internet as an environment, things iterate exponentially faster than in the real world.

Yes the alternative was paid expansions for new maps and weapons, which people also didn't like because it split the player base.

Fun is subjective. People actively complain when games don't have grindy tedious elements.

There's no lack of VC spending on startups in this world, some of them are quite ridiculous. I'm not sure what you would propose would make any difference to anything.
