In many places low wage workers commute into HCOL areas. Being able to live in Manhattan on waiter's earnings is wishful thinking. Waiters are dime a dozen, and it's ridiculous to suggest they could possibly be making enough to li

Rings alone are not enough to recreate Mordor. IIRC, that requires some actual magic.

I recall trying to use restic instead of borg a couple years ago, and some major feature was unavailable. I don't recall what is was, I think it was compression, which made archives quite large, and required larger instances for backup

What. The. Fuck. Tax is arguably on the same level of confidently as health data, and companies entrusted with this information just sells it off? Tax was supposed about giving government your money. There wasn't supposed to be private

You are not only arguing with benefit of hindsight, many of your "if A then B" statements are highly speculative

Are you saying USA provoked the war, or somehow haven't done enough to avert it? If you remember events before the beginning of confrontation, it seems that USA was bending outwards trying to prevent invasion. What else could we do?

Unions are not quite the great deal. They don't add to the value of the company, and their only goal is to redistribute value from company to workers. Which is not a bad deal when all runs smoothly, but come financial stress and unioni

To be fair, when benefits meet your goals, it could be very good deal. For example 401k matching is the same cash in your pocket, but without tax. Good health care plan, especially when you have family is worth much more than cash and also

We can be reasonably sure that Fischer has not been cheating above and beyond unusual conduct. There hasn't been a way to meaningfully cheat. In our times however there are computers which can materially help, and there are technologie

You might be underappreciating genetic component here. Difference between sexes are very likely evolutionary, rather than social.

I don't think you understand what is going on. It's not the quantity, but the quality. Whatever numbers you quoted, (and I'm sure you haven't just made them up) would only make sense if there is a healthy ratio of young

I don't want to sound melodramatic, but when humanity on average produces less than 2 children per woman, it is heading for extinction. I keep hearing all sorts of counter-arguments, such as: * there is too many people * peop

I think you summarized it pretty well: people are getting mad at things, which really make no difference. Why is this happening? My theory is that those of us who don't have private jets secretly envy those who does. "Secretly&quo

We already have that structure. It's called "court". And if you think it's not working well, I would agree with you. But neither will the other bureaucracy you are proposing, because neither really care about any of low

Can you describe how regulation solves this problem, how exactly are you proposing for this regulation to work?

Pretty much each statement in your post is incorrect. Nuclear plants produce tiny amount of waste, which we know what to deal with. Amount of fuel if you count thorium is enough for many millennia. And solar can not possibly replace other f

by kova12 4y ago
This is such a misguided argument. Amount of nuclear waste is so negligible compared to common waste, it doesn't deserve to even be argued about. Not only that, but today's nuclear waste in couple of decades could become a treasur

You are a result of countless generations of people, each one took their time to procreate, and this is how you ended up with your life. That's the gift you got for free to use and enjoy, and arguably to procreate is the only thing tho

I like gnome, and been using it for years. It's been a bit of an adjustment at first, but after I used it for a couple weeks I got hooked up. Every next version is better in some way, and Gnome 40+ is not an exception. It might be that
