Sadly the dystopia in that story is already partway there, and the utopia is too unreal, just some techno-futurist idealism.

You guys seem to underestimate how much traditional industry is tied in with offshoring. From retail to traditional banking to insurance, there are a shit ton of industries whose jobs are now in India and the Phillipines and not in the US o

It said world. The US isn't the world. And even in the developed world, without including oil rich Middle Eastern countries, the study is flawed. Heck, for all we know, the lowest risk might be in the theocratic monarchic state of Brun

Then the title of the article ought to be "Where in the developed world are babies at the lowest risk of death?". Straight up ignoring more than 50% of the world's population in one go, lmao. For the record, I'm pretty s

What's the point of using OECD data anymore when countries like India, China, MENAPT and Indonesia are excluded? Any study that uses OECD data should be disqualified as a shit study outright.

Why is everyone so obtusely harping on the Sundays point? Sunday is one of the days of the week with the highest sales. Chick-fil-A manages to make significantly more revenue in spite of their closure on Sundays. And what could be driving t

Nope. I meant that in spite of being closed on Sundays, they managed to do higher revenue numbers. I really don't know how anyone could infer otherwise. It's not the result of being closed on Sundays. The entire discussion was abo

But there might also be a positive effect on billionaire B's employees, who might be able to work even more efficiently than billionaire A's. I noted a recent statistic, which states that the revenue of Chick-fil-A per outlet is m

Do you think Onlook could supersede Figma in terms of usability? This seems to me, a complete design outsider, like a Figma meets VS Code.

Congress is responsible for all formal declarations of war. I think it was Truman who started the concept, but JFK who truly exploited it.

There's a lotta different varieties... There are the poppadoms, the small bites which are the subject of the article. Then there are paapads, which are basically the thin, less bubbly, often nearly plate-sized North Indian variety, oft

Yes I know the stats hover around roughly that, which is why I requested you to post those numbers as proof for anyone questioning it. There's also the very concerning fact that the last census conducted was before the immigration boom

Actually, OP has given information that proves exactly that. Maybe not in one generation, but Lebanon was in a similar situation where the Muslim population, which was firmly a minority in the 1940s, outbred the Christian population and is

Weren't they planning to make their own techno-monarchic sovereign state? I remember reading up about one venture that actually received funding from your usual VC suspects. Even the folks in Wall Street weren't this dystopian, co

Nope. Would have been the case if the US imposed usage taxes on foreign users of its goods and services, like tech products and cloud services, but that's not what's happening. The Chinese tributes were more like payments for the

There are so many loopholes in the current tax system. And I say this as someone who benefits massively from the status quo. But like I said, where else can the govt get the cash to "balance the budget"? And again, European democr

Command economies hell-bent on economic dominance are not going to engage. The only way to limit Chinese super production is to either block their goods outright or to subsidize your own to out-price theirs locally. A lot of people don&#x27
