Over 60 years, actually. The coffee industry is regulated the way it is in Kenya because the current government wants it to work that way, not because of "colonialism."

If you don't have a birth certificate, there are other ways to get an ID card. Immigrants do the US do it all the time. Pretending this is some unsolvable problem is ridiculous. It's like saying we can't collect taxes because

The point of India requiring identification for benefits is to prevent waste and fraud. And given the number of poor people in India, and the limited amount of money they have to help them, it seems like quite a good thing to do so. Identif

Yes, only advanced countries like India can give everyone an ID. The US is too poor and backwards to give everyone a plastic card.

Pretending that government IDs are super duper hard to give out is a time-honored American tradition. After all, imagine if the government had a database with every person's name in it! You'd have like 300 million rows? Nobody&#x2

What if (and just hear me out here), the mouse was attached to a cord? This would have several benefits. No need to charge or have a battery. The mouse would stay near the computer and not get lost.

This seems like annoying pedantry. Holding same-as-cash assets is not rocket science, there are plenty of professionals who could help you with that. On Vanguard you can buy things like T-bills with a few clicks. (I am not suggesting that t

It would be very simple for Tether to just hold $1 for each 1 Tether coin. They could invest their cash in safe assets like treasury bills that yield 4% or more. Meanwhile, they pay no interest in Tethers. So they get a 4% return for doing

It's an architecture from the Linux kernel's point of view, although it runs on existing hardware. However, it's not accurate to say it has nothing to do with Intel -- they designed and funded it. And it was a waste of resour

x32 was such a waste of time and resources for Intel. While the world was moving to 64 bit, someone at Intel had the "bright" idea to go back to the past, and create a new 32 bit architecture (???) that was incompatible with tradi

I have solar panels myself. But let's be honest about what the technology can and cannot do. Solar only makes energy while the sun is shining. Most people want to charge their electric cars at night, unless their employer has a chargin

Feel free to step up and support your own serialization library. You too can have this "power" Note: Your budget will be $0, your reward will be people hurling insults at you.

The "annoying" thing that the naysayers are pointing out is that we are not building enough power generation to support universally switching to electric vehicles. Unfortunately this "annoyance" happens to be true. Also,

Is it actually a single toolchain? I was not clear on that from reading the article. Anyway, all I can say is that having used both C++ and Rust for many years, I have zero desire to use another C++ toolchain.

Why was this downvoted? It's not just another generic "rewrite it in Rust" comment. I was making a specific point that incremental rewrites of existing C++ code are very possible in Rust. And that process would not be that di

Honestly, Apple is a 3.5 trillion dollar company. If the bug bounty program is understaffed then it's an intentional choice and they should fix it. And I say that as someone who's generally sympathetic to Apple.

There's no point. Rust can already be added incrementally in an existing C++ or C project. Like how Servo was in Firefox, or Rust in the Linux kernel.

I never said we should forbid discussion of Marxism. I just think it should be treated the same as Nazism, with which it shares many similarities. The general pattern of "find a minority, say that they are the source of all problems, a

The Marxist view is that capitalism is inherently exploitive. You said it yourself: the capitalists are "captur[ing] a portion of the labor's true value." That isn't something you say about someone who is doing an essent
