I've been on Linux for the last four years now and there are only two particular things that are painfully missing: Stronger hardware driver support from vendors and Photoshop. (Krita/GIMP/etc just aren't quite there ye

I think the legal issues with Tether could be a bigger risk to Bitcoin's heart going by the volume of trade it supports supposedly fraudulently ( https://bitfinexed.medium.com/tether-is-setting-a-new-standa... )

Which is different to Windows because...? You're making silly arguments based on your own strawmen.

Because it's free for one. Second because I have so many more options and control of what my OS is. But really, reality is that Linux support for games is still caught in the cycle of too few customers to bother -> customers want b

While it could be presented better, I think this point is fair. We seem to mostly be happy to write-off the downsides because 'but the alternative is worse.' Sure, but let's not stop applying a critical eye and measured caut

Linux as an ecosystem is a lot further along that many people seem to either realise or give credit for. It most certainly works out of the box for most general tasks. Of course there are still limitations like a lack of some software (Phot

It also makes the assumption that Windows just works out of the box fine for everyone...

Thanks. If I'm correct then the mRNA vaccine introduces proteins that reflect the virus and trigger the immune response? I think I was reading the article as mostly focused on vaccines, but it was focused on cancer treatment, hence my

I think this only leads to perverse outcomes, in principle the (further) reduced incentives to keep things from going extinct in the first place. There also needs to be a lot of consideration in reintroducing a species and how it fits into

by headsoup 5y ago
I'm not clear on one thing from this: early on the author states that mRNA treatments do not create a permanent immune system memory response and need repeated treatments for continued response. But then when the author switches to t

Brb, off to set fire to everything... I think this could very easily be demonstrated with the opposite outcome, but I think I just grow increasing tired over time of economic monetary benefit being the judge of positive outcome as an '

The problem is not how much they cost, it's the clear and demonstrated competitive advantage. Basically, unless you use these shoes (or competition catches up), you are disadvantaged, unrelated to ability. And before you say 'bu

Because it does a little too much perhaps? Or not specifically that, but that these shoes have highlighted that the gear provides a distinct advantage (much as those advanced swimsuits did a few years ago). Most sports are well past the p

This is only true where the founder has the most risk relative to the rest, but I'd say that's often not so. Founders can have a career stream to fall back to, additional capital, Etc. Some people could risk being on the street i

Not sure even that entirely holds. A philosophy mentor that can follow your interests and provide/recommend short courses may be as beneficial as a college degree... Except the providers of work focus quite a lot on those fancy certif

The article does not seem to end in support of its title. He seems to want to define Cyberpunk specifically but then goes about highlighting that it is a concept subjectively bound by the context of the authors' environment.
