So you probably ought to listen to some degree? 8 years ago investing in ethereum was a very good idea and it definitely shook up the world to some extent. Of course people exaggerate but it's important to see the trends and get an und

There might be some apps and hardware that are desirable on the iPhone and some apps that are desirable on an android phone. For example, I might want to use iMessage without any of the restrictions that you get on other non apple devices.

Yes that is why I said "some countries" and not the world. It is hyperbole. Of course I think Stripe provides a valuable service, but I don't think it is more valuable than, say, a hospital. I don't think it provides a s

Stress can have many causes, but at the root of it, stress is mediated by the brain. The brain tells the body to be on high alert, it does this by mediating hormonal responses. Stress is good in certain situations: if you are being chased b

This article is personally very worrisome to me. I think this is pretty much what most start-ups in the tech sector expect, it's similar to the over-optimisation problem in that because this technique has worked for some very successfu

I think it is beautiful that there are some people out there capable of dedicating themselves to something with such passion. But that's precisely the problem with the structures surrounding it. Organisations exploit these characters b

But that's the reality of what they were doing, the fact that it makes people uncomfortable is indicative of how wrong the culture is. I'm glad they said it. The fact that people think it is inspiring to learn about others willing

It's interesting what you say about supervillains being in short supply. I generally don't think of people as evil, as others have pointed out, it seems more of a societal/group miasma that envelops us. Lots of people are mis

I'm not really saying people aren't better off than they were 100 years ago. Of course they are! If we look at education and health indicators a baby born today is on average much more likely to live to old age compared to 100 yea

Potential profit? If the price is not low enough to encourage this person to buy the product then you have a different problem. Digital goods manufacturers can't simply price their goods without considering the ease of access that peop

Yes I agree. I think there might have been a case for intellectual property many years ago when the cost of entry was extremely high. To write a book and get it published required a big amount of effort to get it to the finish line. It woul

If everyone is a software developer then who will be cleaning the toilets? There isn't a conspiracy to keep people poor, it's simply a reality derived from market mechanics applied to labour. If people in South East Asian countrie

Short answer: No. The problem with these insane prices isn't really that you have disparity within the same country, but that a significant amount of people in these places cannot afford to live in there. You can't have a restaura

There are so many different problems that come from decentralisation and I really don't think people are all that willing to put up with them. Specially not the kind of people that use social media. It seems to me sometimes that a lot

Well, you can get more shoddy VPNs for like 2 euros a month.

I'm not sure how this relates to the fediverse itself; as in, how does the technology affect the way people behave. I'm not sure federation ever claimed to be a balm for these sort of social media ills. What federation wants to ac

Luckily I saw someone posting a screencap in one of my chats about Jordan Peterson getting banned, so I was aware it might be. Definitely a good warning.

Game is getting a lot of had press, and for good reason. It's extremely predatory, but it's a huge IP and so it is expected for it to be making a lot of money. You definitely have to suffer if overall the strategic is offering off

Mullvand is the best I've found. It's a bit expensive though.

I saw a YouTube video some days ago from a person that has spent hours and hours doing some play testing for this game. The amount of work he put was incredible. And he did it all for free. It seems really messed up to me that a company wil

I think sometimes we get used to doing things a certain way and its difficult to change bad habits. Fossil fuels were never a good idea environmentally and even socially as it concentrated power massively... we just didnt know. You know how

Moving to electric cars also hurts the environment a lot, maybe not in the countries that buy the cars but in the countries where the materials are mined. In reality we need structural policies that countries that spearhead pollution (like

I'm guessing it's a bit of a pendulum, this is seen in so many areas of human society. We move in a direction and someone says "we ought to move in the complete opposite way" and so we do, then after some time it is clea

I sort of disagree. In the beginning of Netflix they were releasing hit after hit in terms of artistic/innovative media. I think they had a very different approach, they were looking for special products but it is clear as they grew bi

As someone else points out, it would be best if these were included in the washing machine in some form. Printed somewhere. In reality these icons are quite good and once you know the "basics" it is easy to know which one stands f

Although the article does not say anything I didn't know. It is very interesting that the conversation is being had. I think the title of it makes a perfect summary. Regardless of the proposed solutions, how do we deal with these misma

Aliens provide me with a similar hope that religious people get from God. I think as I grow older humanity's prospect look bleaker and bleaker, it might very well be my generation. I'm relatively young and so I'm pretty sure

I think we need to see more implementations of the already existing federated protocols. We need that one app that will truly explode and bring the fediverse to the masses. Mastodon is okay but it's just a microblogging platform; it&
