Profit is not a sin. On the contrary it is a 1 to 1 match with the good that it is providing its users. This idea that services shouldn't turn a profit is a massive problem.

How is it a myth? I heard this type of statement often, but the fact is no convincing evidence is ever provided. The fact is there are in fact options available for phones with swappable batteries, it's just that people don't buy

Yes, people in lebanon don't value electricity as much as the miner, and so are allocating their resources in a more effective way. Who loses here?

by jdasdf 5y ago
For everyone. The one doing the mining is being compensated with wealth. And society in general is being compensated with a more effective allocation of resources.

Market value requires willing participants, so that's whatever value they want.

That's right, the current origin system just isn't as granular as I'd like it to be. IE: it tells me I got X views from reddit, but if shared it in 3 subreddits, I don't know which ones were more effective. Being able to

Hi! I love substack, and have been writing a weekly blog on it for over a year now! Do you have any plans to give more granular data on traffic/emails? Stuff like being able to see specific posts views over time, etc... What's cur

I'm concerned about the reliability of Googles offers, but the Office 365 might be the best option for me, since i'm already using the personal version of it, it shouldn't be a much bigger expense.

The companies that own the railways are in the business of making money, not in the business of screwing Amtrak. I'm sure they would be more than happy to prioritize Amtrak trains over their cargo customers if they are suitably compens

That's not really a good argument though because there are 2 definitions of inflation which are often confused due to the fact that they have the same name, and can lead to the same results. One is "the generalized increase in pri

Can you explain why you believe there is any form of free expression in the UK? I'm genuinely asking because looking on from the outside it is clear to me that nowhere in Europe is there anything even approaching freedom of expression

No, this is why it's important to have checks and balances against unrestrained judicial power. These checks and balances must include legal as well as practical costs and difficulties in having those orders implemented. The system sho

I like how people blame privatization for these issues, but then if you read things carefully you'll see that at all points the state exercised measures of control over the supposedly private company that not only prevented the resolut

Even that would generally not require removing the right of what people want to build in their land! You can surely charge people for polluting the air outside their land, or making too much noise in other peoples properties/public lan

Simply allowing private citizens to bring forth any charges that the police is allowed to bring forth would suffice. If a police officer can issue a ticket for making too much noise, or bring someone to court for polluting too much there is

That issue is solved by not restricting enforcement to police.

They certainly should, but once sold, it's sold and you have no further interest in it.

I fully agree here. If you want to buy a plot of land, and leave it totally untouched, you should be able to, no matter what that land is, where it is, and what it could be used for. I hold the same stance on being able to own an empty fiel

I'm very familiar with exactly what local councils do in terms of urbanism and licensing, my entire family is involved directly in every stage of the construction business, from the initial architecture design, to the real estate sale.
