This is most certainly true for Italy as well. All semi trucks have to be limited

Substack is a player in the increasing tendency of our fracturing media landscape - for the better or the worse. I believe, by enabling more and more unedited and unlimited speech increasingly diverse voices can become more prominent. The h

I love to be able to fly into SFO and just walk to the cab curb and be off. No crazy Uber pickup location and trying to find “your” driver. I also don’t have problems getting cabs at the hotels that I am staying at. If I have to go down 101

Well - you changed from a pure Mac App to a SaaS style offering with a reasonable licensing for people who don't want to subscribe. That's fine - and I am a subscriber. Seeing you adding storage directly makes me slightly afraid t

I'm a road biker and would love fully separated bikeways wherever possible. The scheme in Milano sounds exciting and full of the right spirit. That being said, painted lines, in reality, do positively affect safety, both perceived (at

I agree. For the same reason I get annoyed when I hear the praises of work/life balance. Balance to what? Leisure? Where does leisure lead? If my work can give me joy why should I strive to minimize its presence in my life (or even bal

Has money ever been untraceable? Cash certainly was traceable starting with certain volume. Closest was maybe art and collectibles during Shoa!? A more fragile social order then we have today?!

Not talking about the specific implementation but the question is: Privacy for whom? Do we need the „innovation“ of untraceable money? For instance, we decided to get rid of untraceable cell phone numbers (at least in Germany you can’t get

A non American perspective: A government is the administrator chosen by the people to take care of its collective concerns. If the people identify negative issues that affect the demos - they may ask their government to interfere. In any de
