I wasn't referring to climate change, etc. when I replied to the nice Danish fellow. I was mostly referring to his note regarding the sense of community and equality in Denmark. My point is that cultural dissimilarity creates a lot of

Like dtwest says, you have embraced the local culture. If someone from let's say, a rural village in central Asia, will immigrate to Sweden and will hold on to their original culture, I doubt the average Swedish guy will be as happy to

I think one should not forget that Denmark's society is mostly homogenous. When you have a vastly dominant, culturally homogenous group, it's relatively easy to trust and support one another. In a highly diverse country like the U

Looks like a great tool for finding hiking partners if you're able to build a large enough network. I'd probably not use it because I'd feel too many things could go wrong with strangers who are not committed to me like a tou

I found out that competitive sports are great to eliminate the boredom. I'm taking weekly tennis lessons with my girlfriend and casual basketball matches with friends and neighbors. It's good cardio while you also catch up with fr

You're probably right. Though I played it originally on a 286 with a simple internal speaker and it sounded a lot more basic.

Yes. There are laws in some countries for example that make the advertising of Tobacco illegal. That's a form of censorship people can say is reasonable, but it can also be a slippery slope towards harsher censorship around other thing

I think there's never an end to it. A paleo fan will think the same about a vegan/carbs ad, and so would an anti-vaxxer about a conventional health poster. Harmful ideas can, and will reach those who are susceptible to it. I think

It brings up an interesting question. I live in Israel where there are constant conflicts about what is OK to be shown in public, especially between the religious and non-religious. In Jerusalem for example, some ultra-orthodox often vandal

I don't know what's the quantitative trend. I do know of several founders whose first company was a nasty ad-tech company (spyware), and after making their millions, their second company is a much more honorable digital health com

I think you could also say the same about gambling, porn and other questionable industries. The thing is, it's usually much easier making money off these things then making money from solving impactful problems. If you're a regula

This has been like that with many multiplayer games to some extent before the age of matchmaking. Someone sets up a dedicated server with certain mods/game configuration, and that would be yours and other randoms favorite server. Over

Sometimes teachers have a negative net value huh? Brings up the point that if the education system can't properly teach a subject, maybe we're all better better off with it just not teaching the subject.

Thanks! It seems extracting a 3d model to be easily integrated with a program like Unity from the BDS files will not be trivial, and the 3d model as asteroidmission.org is relatively low-poly. Nevertheless, it's pretty nice of them to

It would have been cool if they'd release the 3d model, and then it could be put in some sort of an interactive demo.

There's also the other option similar to what happened after the New York Elevator Operator Strike in 1945 -- the total elimination of a profession. https://www.inc.com/thomas-koulopoulos/100-years-ago-we-fear...

There's truth to that, a lot of it depends on that developer's language skills and business network. If you're a developer in the Ukraine with great English and reasonable business skills, you should be able to land a pretty

A more recent similar case would be Starlink. Fast forward a few years and the night sky will be filled with satellites disturbing astronomers. It would be interesting to see how that one ends up. My bet, more outer-space telescopes to comp

I think what happens is that overtime certain groups have taken "ownership" over the word by using it as a racial slur but originally it just means "someone from Kush". In Hebrew if you take a location and add "I&qu

One way technology can really decrease consumption is by turning humans to machines. If you are essentially a CPU, your energy consumption would likely be very low yet your computational power and lifespan could be much higher. This way ear
