That never sounded good to anybody with good judgement. Russia is largely self sufficient for basic goods (food, energy), meaning that while their economy takes a hit, it’s a financial problem more than an existential crisis. The same can’t

You should look up the definition of “democracy” in a dictionary before accusing others of making up a definition. Im not just trying to “win an argument”, like you accuse me of, I’m pointing out an inaccuracy of your statement. Through you

> "liberation of people" can only happen by having a working democracy If 51% democratically voted to enslave the other 49%, that would be a working democracy but far from "liberation of people".

Thanks. Very noisy data, so I'd say far from conclusive, particularly given the confounding variables that differ between states. Still, the best attempt I've seen to actually look into this issue. Countries like the UK have natio

Transparency is a logical necessity for accountability. If we don't know who wrote a law, then we can't hold somebody accountable for it. Even if we take for granted the truthfulness of the "transparency problem", the so

Given how incredibly complex human health is, it’s no trivial task to identify precisely how/why some specific behavior is “healthy” or “unhealthy”. Given that predicament, our best guide is what our ancestors did, since it’s passed t

Yes, that's the entire purpose of the sell off. Supply went up while demand stayed the same, which causes the price to go down.

They’re releasing from the strategic petroleum reserve, so yeah “he did that” but it’s not sustainable. Meanwhile the administration still actively hostile towards domestic production, which is what will actually solve the problem.

Can you explain further? How does that prevent self hosting a web server and how does ipv6 solve that?

My explanation is that it doesn’t actually take a lot of deep thought to understand this dynamic. The guy who runs your local hardware store could’ve figured this one out, given the information. The problem is that the over “educated” and c

The point is that there's no option where nobody gets to spy on me. I should have the option to host the server-side software myself, and/or delegate that to a third party of my choosing which provides a standardized API. Callin

The point is that they don’t actually care because they’re not offering true privacy. Real privacy means my data is mine, and I decide individually which people or groups get access, including Apple. Apples’ “privacy” is that they retain mo

Hmm, good analysis. This phenomenon might to some degree be a function of the board’s veto power over the CEO. A primary reason you typically go public is to grow, so by default at IPO you’re a “growth stock”. But from that point on, its di

Good call, I'm working on that project this weekend for myself. I grabbed this resource from Beeper's landing page: https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy Is that what you're using?

Not really, they’re just speaking matrix natively. In theory this will help Beeper, since they won’t have to maintain a Rocket.chat bridge. In practice, I’ve tried to sign up to Beeper multiple times, but they never get back to me.
