What do you mean people were not allowed to have material things? Joining the party and becoming a part of nomenklatura so you can get western stuff and a Volga was a dream of Soviet citizens. Getting anything, often even food in USSR requi

You’ll need a construction cooperative. IDK if those can compete with large construction companies due to the economy of scale. The construction cooperatives were a staple of late Soviet and post-Soviet Russia, but were essentially outlawed

How much time do we have till Apple blocks addresses of services that provide web apps instead of iOS apps or just crippling web apps altogether even more than they are now?

I thought that tech companies working in Europe take advantage of Irish/Dutch laws and skip taxes almost entirely. Is that outdated?

Oil export just prolonged the agony. Soviets could not reform without touching the institutions and could not survive without keeping the institutions intact. Gorbachev was not geriatric, but he was not a right caliber for that job, Soviet

I can’t help but to read this as “we need a life-long dictator so we will not have to deal with the results of the elections”

11PM to 6AM is very different from 1AM to 5AM. Parents of little children who need you to wake up multiple times per night have it worse, IMO. And they often report memory problems and overall mental decline.

Yes, that sawmill incident was with 16-year-old, but there are more at other industries. E.g. WI regulations were relaxed to allow 14-years-old work 40 hour weeks as well part of the year. If there is not enough pushback fatalities are a ma

Why? Do you experience memory issues? If you can do that for years and not go insane or break down you must be built different. I know people like that and envy them, but this is not typical.

You need to fight for keeping any accomplishments you’ve got. US rolled back many child labor regulations, so we have 14 years old killed by sawmills again. It’s not like the US banned children from mines because it was economically more pr

It took a decade and it’s still not 100% accurate. By now PS5 is powerful enough, but Sony would rather sell you a remaster or remake.

You forget that it was normal before. PS2 had many separate chips you need to program and balance throughout and latencies to make the most of hardware. PS2 was able to achieve 60 fps in many impressive games. Console hardware was very spec

I wonder if there is a need for wall-piercing search now. That might be against user agreement, but when that had stopped anyone motivated?

Boeing used to mean quality. Now it means cutting corners for the sake of stock price and dividends.

Has anyone actually changed positions on global warming since 2008? The same people who called it a communist hoax back then call it a communist hoax now.

Redfall was the only outright bad one. And it was pretty obvious the specification for the game was bad already.

You don’t need to imagine. Just look at some other countries. Look at Russia, for example, it’s even the worst one. Americans are so spoiled by their state, it can be better, but it can be so much worse.

Imagine if China starts with blowing up TSMC with long-range weapons. How will the West react if Taiwan no longer has that leverage? Before Russia actually invaded Ukraine I was more optimistic about this.

Russia did not stop after 3 days, didn’t it? And there is no indication it will stop any time soon. Russia is also old and broke, but it had enough to keep going. And Russia needs to spend a much higher percentage of the GDP on war than Chi

Take losses, unseat the current monopolist, take their place.

I’m talking about someone like a big venture capital fund or a big bank. Or someone like Saudis. That’s a lucrative field. Ironically, any company doing this will want to take the place of monopoly, not increase competition in the long run.

Potentially, a big player with money to burn can undercut them, but it does not look like that’s going to happen.

Boeing is not the only airplane manufacturer in US. If you look how it operates, it runs the government’s civil aviation, not the other way around. FAA has basically trusted Boeing to self-certify everything. It looks like without governmen
