   Is there any other space where taxes are so inequitable as with property in California? Why don't they move to a more equitable tax scheme based on, say, what the district requires rather than what the home was bought for? I already kn

   The only thing stopping this democratization would be crash-worthiness. While this is more true for Western markets currently, regulations will come to India as well. However many Indians ride in the 3-wheeled death-traps called auto-ricksh

   Does the raw CPU power matter that much on a phone? Google decided to even go the other way and put in a mid-range chip into their Pixel lineup, eschewing the usual high-end Snapdragon 800 series the Pixels used to have.

   I also didn't feel that SV as a whole didn't get the ire, rather Robbing Hood. It also didn't achieve much. I suppose Vlad's idol is Mark Zuckerberg.

   Not usually the case in foreign relations. See arms-producing countries vs. arms-consuming countries.

   I believe Clickhouse is competing with other analytical, OLAP databases, not something like vanilla Postgres or MariaDB or Oracle. This is not your application backend database.

   I suppose at some point everyone becomes a nationalist. Like with the vaccine situation now and the mask situation in March/April last year.

   I don't see them as hypocrites. They are selling what others are buying, but their own choices show that they value the environment. The elephant in the room is that other oil exporters like Dubai, the US, Saudi Arabia _haven't_ m

   I think most people are aware that vaccines are currently in short supply and the most vulnerable and front-line workers should get them first.

    A friend of mine was super into Bitcoin in 2014 and tried to get me involved. I was very risk-averse and didn't invest or mine anything. Now he is financially independent (read: filthy rich) and I'm trying to turn my 0.0000000155

    It seems that the European (and to an extent, Japanese and Korean) automakers are happy to cede the US EV market to Tesla. They are selling plenty of EVs in Europe and China, which are the next biggest EV markets. Why is this? I live in Ger

    I've worked in places where text was the preferred mode of communication, and in places where colleagues thought nothing of smashing that Call (or Video Call) button any time during business hours and sometimes outside of them. I suppo

    What makes you think other governments don't have that kind of information or can easily access it from their friends in bigcorp Inc?

    Fascinating read, thank you. I can't help but wonder what is available to big companies and governments these days in terms of technology and algorithms that we laypeople don't have access to or even dream about.

    You do know you can buy cheap phones and cheap PCs, right? I'm personally happy for the choice. Not everyone has the budget for "the best phone ever." Also, its interesting that you say "lasting 12-24 months at best&quot

    I strongly believe that it's time to regulate internet as a utility and stop letting internet providers jerk us around while they provide a utility disguised as an optional service. I can survive without cable or satellite radio, but i

    The real estate scene in Berlin is very different now than it used to be. It was possible to rent a cheap place or just squat an unoccupied building, which is not possible anymore. Real estate prices have gone through the roof in the last 1
