My favorite mcdonalds order is the double quarter pounder. It feels like most mcdonalds burgers taste kind of the same. The description they give is "two beef patties with layered melted cheese" it doesn't really tell me much

I saw an interview on wired, the creator said while he was traveling through Japan, he stayed in a high rise hotel and felt lonely. That's where he got the idea for "Friend". It's a bit sad. I've traveled by myself

What really worries me about Tesla right now is Musk openly supporting Trump. Now, my personal politics aside, I don't think it's a good idea for him as the head of an EV company to be so open about his support to the one candidat

Personally when I see AI being implemented in products and sold as a selling point I tend to think that it's wasted resources. I think there's space for AI generation out there, I see a lot and I do mean a lot, of popular AI conte

They really are at war with the adblockers. I wonder how much money they're spending in trying to fight this rat race. It's not just engineering hours but also people switching from chrome to Firefox, and the bad press associated

Right before the pandemic there was a big furrycon happening right in front of where I was living in Melbourne. Was chill.

It is his platform after all, he can post whatever he wants. On the other hand, this is one of the reasons why the platform is really becoming unusable for me. Not to mention everyday i'm "followed" by 5-10 bots. And I get re

It's rare but some people work in co-ops. Though I guess you could say they are not doing "employed work"? In any case, there's forms of labour out there that can be more empowering to the worker.

That's so much money for what I think is pretty much a race that's already been won. I think he could donate a fourth of it a month and the result would be the same. The rest? He could donate to me (:

One of the things that is really putting me off twitter (now called X) is the whole "blue checkmarks get bumped to the top of the replies" deal. It is so annoying to see a somewhat interesting post, and wanting to see what people

People didn't want to buy apples new headset because it was too expensive at 3500 dollars. You think anyone would spend 3000 dollars on such a thing? I doubt it.

People have been writing books and creating art before intellectual property rights were enforced or even existed. The highest selling book in the world, the bible, is free of copyright. What incentive does an author have to write a book if

Current term is something like 70 years after the death of the author. It's simply too long for a world that moves this fast.

The hubris of thinking you're representative of the world. I think there's a better chance of Messi being known because there's more people in Europe and Latin America that are fans of football than corporations. Even Africa,

Like they say by the end of the piece. It's all about the pricing, it's not just having a drug that works but having one people can actually have access to. PrEP is really cheap, and it is covered by most healthcare programs aroun

Pretty sure you can rent telescope time it's just booked so you might have to wait. You can still go physically, there's tours and such. But it doesn't make sense for a physicist to go there when all the imagery is captured b

I have both a mooan inkpalm 5 and a boox palma and you can get books look much better in both. He is using a font size that's a bit too big. And there's too much spacing, you can configure all aspects. I get about 8-10 characters

I'm not going to complain about them adding whatever features they want... so long as they implement first the things that people have been asking for years. Side tabs, proper tab groups, they said these features are coming "this

So quick to roll out AI but I'm still waiting for proper tab grouping. I know it's coming, they've already said so. But how is AI given priority over the most requested feature in their forums?

This is why archiving is so important. Imo journalists should be allowed and should (honestly I don't know if they are or not, probably not) repost their stories on their own personal websites. You never have any assurance that the par

Aspirin already exists and improvements to it are marginal. This kind of extreme utilitarian approach seems flawed when you view healthcare as a human right. Reducing pain from 1.5 to 1.4 to millions of people is not really as valuable as s

This seems like a retaliation measure rather than the DMA making the technology not accessible. I get this feeling that apple thinks they can pit their European consumers against their government? These measures don't make the DMA or t

I have heard this argument before but it's interesting to see where the money for R&D is actually spent. It's not on these kind of diseases, this kind of work is usually done with public money, grants. Money in big pharma is u

Personally I think we can make good use of sortition to inject legitimacy into the system. Kind of like what has been done in ireland, france, belgium... Sortition is very scalable and private citizens are actually much "cheaper"

I thought Apple's approach was interesting and a good balance between usability and novelty. Most of what the processing is going to happen in-device, I'm not sure at what extent it'll have to rely on the cloud and even more

I don't think this is the right approach. In fact, I think this kind of effort alienates people and turns them precisely into a direction where they vent their frustration with the system on wrong avenues. In many ways, the people are

This is probably a much more difficult question to answer than you might expect. If you asked me, I think liberal democracies all around the world are going through a legitimacy crisis. People have not been feeling, for a while now, properl

This is one of my favorite websites of all time. Their pace of publishing is slow, but I'm okay with it, I only visit the website a few times a year. It's a nice change from all those websites that try to publish as much as they c
