   Maybe the question should be 'should workers pay taxes'?

   If a human component is required in addition to the cheaply machine-automated part, that belies the claim that 'most of the work has already been done'. The human part, turning it from slop to polished, becomes the most important

   You're right, but I think a 555 is maybe more than required for the buzzer. Buzz-overkill, if you like.

   'car' is a bit of a stretch, but it's a cool compact go-kart. Is the ad character inspired by, or the inspiration for, Mr Bean?

   "star wars is overrated" Star Wars (1977) and Empire strikes back are not overrated - they may not quite be cinematic masterpieces, but are certainly cultural icons. Everything else in the franchise ... Sure, 'hero saves the

    I know it's the recognized term for 'officially designated authority', but 'competent authority' seems to conflate two traits that do not necessarily co-habit.

    I can see the utility of a desk clock/indicator/physical-UI/music-player, but the twisty rubik thing, the two separate screens, and mobility seem totally superfluous. Is this an AI design?

    The reasons given are all contributing factors, but the central issue is this: Business, particularly under capitalism (where ownership is detached from operation) is about making a profit, not making great products or services So price dis

    Life is not all fun. You need to learn how to buckle up and just get it done.

    So if they take crack cocaine instead of literature class, they're right too? Sorry, but learning is actually a slog. The best we can do is get them addicted to learning, instead of gaming, but let's help them on the way by removi

    "teach kids how to use technology responsibly" OK I teach a code club. I try to get the students excited and focused, and especially on projects where they work together, it generally works really well, even for students who obvio

    maybe vacuum insulated panels. A big thermos would be much more challenging, though there are already long vacuum bottles/tubes used as solar cookers.

    This is great, but we must be quite close to a decent synthetic milk by now? It's just water, fats, lactose (possibly optional) and some proteins - no structure to worry about. It would cut out a lot of unnecessary steps.

    That seemed to an EU thing But I note the treaties.un.org link is signatories as of late 2024. Why are they not publishing the current signatories? This is absolutely not something that should be murky.

    When Cambodia is a signatory, you know this is just whitewash, or even 'protective intelligence' ie using the shared international intelligence to protect the scams and evade enforcement. Keep your enemies close.

    I think you'll find this is not 'at the request' of any government but part of a much wider policy being implemented. Eg, Cambodia just had $15B in crypto confiscated (ostensibly illegal proceeds of the 'Prince' gro

    They may well deny it, but there's plenty of international documentation showing it is indeed a thing, and presumably starlink have even more evidence.

    "What the US needs from China: Some legacy manufacturing (toys, furniture, textiles—annoying but replaceable over 5-10 years)" Is this some Trumpist unreality propaganda? Hello solar panels, just for a start.
