All to deny the fact that new deal is incompatible with dense cities. Sorry but do the math and you realize that the future is homes and sheds, not condos.

What's unrealistic is the widespread state of IT ignorance among the masses and the kleptocracy that profits from it. Without this widespread ignorance, and with IPv6, a global per host, and without the disappearance and massive price

Yes and no, many are just bugs due to a crappy layered crapware stack started decades ago a "kept in sync" an update at a time... At least in the EU.

Heat pumps move heat, the small extra amount from the compressor does not change the game. On the other hand, things change significantly with the huge thermal mass of reinforced concrete buildings exposed to the sun, large glass facades ex

Since we have a single mind, we need "everything apps", this one shows various issues but the idea of an everything app is damm good.

FLOSS is a tool for efficiency, for sharing automation and knowledge; just like knowledge itself, it cannot be commercial, it cannot have paywalls. Simply put, everyone must develop what they need, publishing the code from day zero, from th

Honestly, those who lost money did so because they were aiming for profits, not for The Network State, or for having non-seizable money etc. On the other hand, for those who got in early because they were online and curious at the time, wit

(WFH since ~11 years), the issue with remote work lay in the many who do not really know how to work in the present time. We're full of people who don't know how to use email even though they use it every day, or a chat app even t

So far GoCardless works for me, maybe they still kept old accounts. I've heard of https://enablebanking.com but never tried them. I know also: - https://www.saltedge.com - https://www.fabrick.com -

Another take to deny the need of a POLITICAL union. Anyway a large slice of the issue lay in the many different social security systems, the vastly different inheritance tax regimes (zero inheritance tax for some states, over 80% for others

Well, more than just a website, I'd call it a domain name to be used for various personal services, starting with email. A domain name is like your home address in the physical world; not having one is like not being a citizen of civil

GoCardless might be an option, at least for OpenBank (UE/SEPA), no idea for the USA though...

That's the limit of smart-contracts: they can't know the real world, so they depend on "Oracles"/external sources who can be corrupted or coerced, and so even if the foundation is guaranteed in the code, what the co

RTO is also about forcing people in cities, the cities that have lost their factories to globalisation, because it was and still is cheaper to produce far away without the problems of density and then move things, rather than everyone stayi

California isn't the whole world, or to put it better, anyone who doesn't have a registered office there has no reason to worry about its laws. It wouldn't hurt to remind every legislator of that.

People seem to have trouble understanding that orbital space isn't infinite, nor is the manoeuvrability of satellites; or to put it another way, there isn't room for everyone with launch capabilities.

The office serves only one purpose: to keep people in the city. The city exists to house the masses who own nothing, who live in rented accommodation, use public transport, buy useless fast tech as status symbols to show off, fast fashion f

I keep wondering how much longer they'll cling to these monsters, office suites as a concept. They make no sense since decades, not just for producing TERRIBLE print documents, but also as awful formats for working with text and any da

Yeah, maybe that too, but the real point it's the people who don't dream anymore: once upon a time, kids dreamed of becoming astronauts, and teenagers of having their own private spaceship to roam the universe like nomads. Nowaday

I honestly have NOTHING against that: they are a private company, their money, their choice. I have plenty of other bones to pick with them, regarding the harvesting of personal data from smart devices and cloud services, how it's used

Our societies used to look towards space and evolution, but today they are broken, retreating into their shells and clinging to the past. Much like post-WWII Japan, they seek refuge in fantasy worlds to escape reality, having abandoned the

The economic web is an interesting concept, but so far is failed. Nostr is probably the most successful experiment, but it remains a failure because: - it lacks a design that makes complete sense, i.e. a generic communication tool that comb

Honestly, I think the initial surge wasn't down to Jevons Paradox, but simply the general ignorance of those needing secretarial staff. They were incapable of using any "machinery" themselves and saw having staff as a status
