In the same way there was no plausible prospect of launching cargo to orbit for <$1000/kg at the turn of the century?

I'm happy with a metric that encourages people to do good, as opposed to a metric which describes how much power one has over others, or how many yachts they can afford. Hopefully the EA community isn't terribly concerned with how

What does this mean? That farmers don't get enough water to wash their hands now? That there will be no crops coming out of California unless they were grown on well water? Where can I look up this reduction rate?

First, "no linux support" is disingenuous. Second, with a Framework you can replace a USB-c port with a 1TB expansion card, or with an Ethernet port, or whatever is in stock. Those who bought the first model can now upgrade to a n

I thought it was a pop culture reference I wasn't familiar with. I think the more interesting question, though, is why it bypassed the moderate safe search setting.

Yeah, I still run with a 20-ish year old Shuffle, waiting for the day it falls apart.

nitpick--The AT4 is a recoil-less round with the propelling charge in the launch tube--not a Rocket-Propelled Grenade. I imaging firing one from inside a building would be a regrettable decision.

People who work bullshit jobs ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bullshit_Jobs ) are already unintentional leeches. UBI would disincentivize that inefficiency. Then those who want to sit on their asses with their $1200 coul

Ugh. As a not-really-power user I can't stand Gnome 3, not least because I have to Google how to and then install a tool just to make useful settings accessible. Everything in Tweaks should be in the default settings panel.

Given the amount of time between when you posted and when I replied, it's safe to say I hadn't listened to the three-hour conversation between two physicians and a professor. Initially I scrolled down, was put off by the stack of

Fair enough. I didn't find a ready source on average camera densities by country, but comparing cities at the link below can give a sense of the difference. London has 399 cameras per square kilometer. Beijing has 278. NYC has 26, so

It seems like it could be a debate worth having. I'd love to see a similar breakdown of vaccine deaths by age (though I don't think there's an official count of confirmed vaccine deaths yet). If a healthy under-40 individual
