Renewables are very cheap if you want to improve your clean energy portion from let us say 11.2% to 12.9%. You don’t have to think about storage and it’s good enough for the next election. But what if we want go full carbon neutral by 2050?

Global warming effects are global, non-linear and there are still many unknowns, which makes it more riskier. Nuclear waste is only local and the harm is much better known. Also nuclear energy is anti-fragile (more disasters means saver pla

If we compare nuclear risk with global warming, then nuclear is local and anti-fragile, i.e. more nuclear disasters increases the safety of all other plants. Global warming is global, non-linear and has lots of unknown effects. The characte

Let’s say resources are allocated first come first served. What if I could pay someone to camp in front of the store and wait in line for me?

Banning is fine but doxxing can destroy an innocent person’s reputation, which can lead to physical harm in their personal lives. We have law enforcement and court systems for that. I don’t believe tech companies should pass these kind of

Also check le coq sportif. They have made in France canvas shoes for 105 euros. Very reasonably priced and they look great.

New Balance still makes shoes in the US. Check for their made in the US line. They are round 180 USD per pair. Not cheap, but I think it is a fair price.

In many Asian countries you can just buy a townhouse, break it down and built a flat. Something like that would be unthinkable in the West.

Are there any specific points in the video you disagree with? Just saying something is biased does not make you correct. It is just very elaborate way to say “oh no it isn’t!”.

Reminds me of the time China gave a tour to international journalists of their reeducation camps: https://youtu.be/WmId2ZP3h0c It looks creepy as hell from a western perspective.

Why should guarding your money be free? The concept of negative interest is very natural. Banks have found ways to reinvest your deposits. If the earnings there are higher than the storage costs they can share some of the earnings with you.

Nerds can also be influenced by by one upping your competitor’s specs sheet with gimmicks. Features that look good on paper, but are badly implemented and have limited usefulness in practice.

The EU looks at the health of the market and there is plenty of competition and Apple only controls a small fraction of it. Windows on the other hand was installed on like >90% of computers.

Im from the Netherlands and US education seems to be worst of both socialism and capitalism: lack of choice and sky high prices. In the Netherlands we have: Free choice of high school. I grew up in the poorest neighbourhood of the city and

Yeah it is not about truth but about cost and the cost can sometimes be catastrophic (death). For example it is better to mistake a rock for a bear than a bear for a rock.

I’m sceptical about UBI, but I am willing to change my mind if it works (on a large scale) in practice. The only thing is that I do not want to be part of the experiment. Since I am from the EU this initiative concerns me, but I would fully
