I've worked with dozens of businesses over the years and you can't even get businesses with real money and consequences on the line to follow basic security practices. My current project is updating dozens of windows domain contro

You're describing most people. Most people (99.9%) can't come up with novel ideas either. They just follow the latest trend. Art, marketing, music, etc. If you've spent any time in the creative spaces, you'll realize mos

Yeah, we all know what fractional reserve banking is. But a debt exists at the same time and the idea is the money that was lent builds something, creating value. Let me borrow some gold so I can use my herbalism expertise to make some poti

Yes, dense cities are more efficient in every way compared to sprawl. Can you articulate what is confusing about this?

What's ironic is that was all in his head. They were very normal looking games. We didn't get alien chess until Stockfish level bots.

I haven't had a CD or DVD drive on any of my devices for 15 years now. They are obsolete. I have 2 TB on a NAS. How many DVDs is that?

It's just a general "thing I don't want to do" not the thing that takes the most time. Could be taking out the garbage. It's just an example menial task.
