Part of the reason we don't colonize Antarctica is that it isn't romanticized to the same degree as the colonization of Mars.

I don't understand this issue. I also have a Pixel 8 but I don't use chrome, so it's not on my phone.

Seems to me that you're praising Apple for the worst excess of capitalism, turning phones into status symbols, encouraging consumerism and vendor lock-in. Granted, I got a Pixel 8 this year, but mostly because my old phone was falling

If the proprietary version is what they prefer over free and open source software, and which they are not allowed to distribute and modify, and which are otherwise completely identical, it's no skin off my back. If they don't want

That is silly. People argued about whether cars are good for the environment or whether we should create a walkable society, or policies about climate change, and so forth. They are always arguing about the consequences of their actions. At

I guess I’m just suspicious of any community or movement that labels itself as “effective,” because it is hard to believe that they were the first ones to think of the idea of not being ineffective, haha. What do people donate money to c

There's a lot of Chinese rocketry startup, but like what exists in the American rocketry market, they're not up to the standard required to compete SpaceX. There will be a lot of culling eventually.

by kiba 3y ago
Do you have any evidence to suggests that they are in fact burning all cylinders making dramatic progress? SpaceX is aiming for 114 launches next years and reusing its rockets more. Nobody comes close.

Doesn't prevent road expansion, rampant parking lot construction, and urban sprawl. They're only NIMBY against certain projects. Some environmental destruction are more acceptable than other.

by kiba 3y ago
Construction is expensive because in large part we became a society of NIMBYs, especially when compared to other countries with high labor cost. At the same time, we're also wasting money on unnecessary infrastructure. Labor costs are

History has demonstrated that kind of thinking is going to harden resolve. It's militarily useless and morally repugnant.

The article argued that the bomb dropped on Hiroshima isn't really a military necessity. I would also argue that the crimes committed by the Imperial Japanese Army can only be remedied through military defeat and tribunals afterward, n

I'll refer you back to my zealot note. The question isn't about if you're making money from the product but if you use the produce and have the means to donate. If you got a big tech job and you're only donating only $6

If I make money off open source, I'll start paying more. As it is, I donate 5 bucks a month to OpenSCAD. I also bought printers from Prusa, so that already counted as supporting open source. That's thousand of dollars and increasi

How would you define self interest? I would say that they have a different value system, or what they're pursuing might be more conducive to their long term survival instead of chasing the almighty dollars. It reminds me of corporate r

Lowering speed limit to 25 mph isn't a magic wand. People will speed what they feel safe to speed. If we want to reduce pedestrian fatalities, there are a raft of social policies and urban planning decisions we can make that reduces fa

Supply would absolutely help with the problem, but it's not sufficient. To discourage speculation, governments should impose land value tax, but not property tax, to encourage efficient use of land. You'll also need to pair with o

It's a country of five million spread over a significant amount of land area? My metropolitan area is like 6 million people, but only 500K lives within the city of Atlanta.

To be able to say that you're able to bootstrap all your way to tech worker is often determined by where you're born, or if you immigrated to a certain country. It's never always your initiative that makes things happens. An

You can say that from the vantage point of being a highly paid tech worker. The world is your oyster and so on. People who are less fortunate are well, less fortunate. They have less of everything to fight for their future. Don't get m

Once you see a detective show, you basically seen 80% of all detective shows. That's why it seems that there can be nothing to watch, because 80% is basically a rehash, just with different characters and slightly different plots.
