Non capitalist firm is simply a different ownership structure. In simple terms: the capitalist mode of production is characterized by private ownership. Whereupon one or a group of individuals that own the capital get to decide about what i

I think the European Union is already pushing for decentralized identifiers and so on to be implemented. It is an open standard being developed by the W3C and it does seem to genuinely solve a lot of headaches when it comes to identificatio

I know DIDs are a standard being worked at by the W3C and it's really great; I've been following it for a while. My question here is, what happened to Web4? And isn't this kind of what Web3 was anyway? Well, this is answered

Lots and I really do mean lots of drugs are funded almost entirely by governments and basic research at universities. Covid vaccines being one example. If you look at where the money for research comes (for new drugs, not for variation of e

The US government doesnt think companies should give people maternity leave. Otherwise, it'd be a law like every other developed country. The interests of corporations are opposed to the interests of society in many cases, of course ma

So ready for another God of the gaps jump in those who still believe in intelligent design. This is very interesting, here on earth we can also find lots of answers about the development of life in extreme environments. In particular in the

Surely this won't be the case anymore under Elon, right? ... right? On a serious note, do we know if there are other links that are blocked; like facebook or instagram or even onlyfans?

Okay I have some things to say about this. First, and I really want this to be the first: thanks to the author for using colour-blind friendly colours for the figures. This is something a lot of people miss when doing papers and it's r

Not only are we dealing with an `n` of 1 but also it is noted in the article that one of the people had suffered three concussions which might skew the results. This is a difficult topic to research because twins are rare and twins separate

I really hope the age of "poverty is a choice" comes to an end. We need responsible states but the most important thing is that the state should provide as much as it sustainably can to people. Health, education, housing, these ar

The last hope of crypto to me are DAOs. I think the utility they might provide might be very good for streamlining governance. But at the same time, the more I learn about governance and worker democracy (coops and the like) the more I real

I think this guy is very aggressive in this interview, I'm not sure what's the context but he definitely seems pretty fed up with the whole crypto stuff. To be fair, I think a lot of the promises that the crypto-scene has been mak

I've always found the argument for competition rather funny. It seems as though most of us have grown up, not necessarily but at least with the idea, of the "loving family" in mind. That in order for a child to grow and achie

Though rewards are definitely good, I wonder if this system of incentives is the best way to move forward with regards to open source code (and creative - information based work in general). In many ways, it is difficult to assess how valua

They are absolutely not necessary. I'm guessing it's just part of the hype and trying to plug their product in some way. If you go into the website mentioned in the article you'll see they don't really have any open-sour

This is not entirely true. You're arguing for prohibition, and in many cases prohibition will lead to black markets and other undesirable outcomes. In a country like Spain or wherever in Europe where people haven't been owning and

Okay is this some kind of joke? The whole point of an NFT is that it is non fungible... am I missing something? We really are going back in time to ICO scams again huh.

Not a good look, not that it matters. I think even if these accusations turned out to be real people nothing would change. I think the claim that "if you have sex with me I will buy you a house" makes me really uncomfortable; in a

I think dating sites are particularly tricky because you rely much more on active users than simply user generated content. Think of twitter, although active users are very much important, once a tweet is there it's there and it's

One thing that sort of bothers me about this discourse is that, for one, there is no real evidence that the Chinese government is using Tiktok as a weapon to cause dissent through US population. All of it is based on fears that, because it

I don't think they ever thought they could "get away with it forever", it's more like: we have an opportunity to make a lot of money now before people get sick of it and legislation is pushed. That's how big busines

I'm in a position where I can choose to go to the office if I want to or not. Most of the time I much prefer working from home, this has definitely an effect on being able to become friends with my coworkers (which, in any case, almost

On the keyboard i use F3 all the time, I almost never alt-tab. When I'm on my macbook and have access to the track pad i of course do three-fingers up for it. I also use cmd + 1 (2, 3, 4, 5 ...) to change workspaces. I have all my chat

I don't think Bill Gates, who has been openly against opening up intellectual property on vaccines, might be the person we ought to listen when it comes to global protection from pandemics. In reality, the participation of private enti

I mean, i wouldn't really blame people when they say "energy"; because the point of cellular respiration is to produce energy. Fat is metabolised to turn ADP into ATP which is used by the body in all sorts of thing and the b

From what I gather prop C is a tax raise on businesses to help secure funding to combat homelessness in SF. It is a very common trope that you hear when politicians are trying to raise taxes that "rich people will leave if you do that&

That's interesting. Because I thought this move is precisely to help the rest of musk's enterprises, I mean, why else would a billionaire buy a communication platform? Though the article brings up good points, conflicts with China

This is very nice, it reminds me a bit of aether.app which I think has been abandoned (though it's open source so anyone could fork it). I think it would be very valuable if you could create subthreads on each thread. Right now you hav
