Not really. The innovations in 90s web technologies solved more “real” problems and gained mass adoption. much different than the blockchain/crypto innovations of the past decade which are still used by a relatively small number of peo

“People” in your comment being an extremely small class of wealthy individuals whom have the luxury of trading art. Most people would be totally fine purchasing a high quality replica, as that is their only option.

Right click, save as = free. A worthy replica Rolex that feels similar in quality to a real one will still cost hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars. The $20 dollar replicas feel noticeably cheaper and will not provide the same satisfacti

I think your comment, and the one you responded to, are both correct. If our legal/governing system was able to adapt more quickly and keep up with the pace of modern technological advances, we would all be better off. The challenge is

Absolutely the latter. A huge part of the movement is sticking it to the man, do the bare minimum, do not go above-and-beyond etc etc.

Oh I absolutely agree with you here that technology was the driving force for the last 200 years. But it was coupled with high motivation. As motivation decreases (see the current anti work movement and anti capitalist sentiment in this c

The title of the article omits the word "labor" but the article is obviously focused on labor productivity so lets starts with a simple definition from Investopedia: Labor productivity, also known as workforce productivity, is

My opinion was anecdotal. But I think it could be argued the entire field of economics has a lot of degrees of freedom - which is why they do not have firm conclusions as to the causes of productivity loss in the article. Edit: also see: h

What makes you think a bank would not cutoff an industry that is a direct threat to their existence?

True. But there are exceptions, including the presence of fire suppression which this building will most definitely have. And dormitories fall under different codes than residential building codes which is where the egress window rule comes

I believe one of the problems it solves is that steel has a tendency to erode over time. Hence major infrastructure failures. If structural elements can be made to the same strength as steel, using HW, which will not erode at the same pace

No expert here but I believe it depends on how it decomposes. If wood rots at the surface, my understanding is more carbon is released into the atmosphere but if it is buried or decomposed using fungi or soil microbes, more carbon is capt

I hunt and raise livestock and I eat more meat than most, but I try to be very conscious of where my meat comes from and how it was produced. People that hunt/produce have much different relationships with meat. I think the comment abo

There is probably no “right” answer on this, at least I didn’t find one when I tried Keto a few years ago. Probably best to try and see how you feel tbh

Your comments is condescending and counter productive to what was a generally inquisitive question by OP. Try shedding light instead of nit-picking. Your proposed question is not as superior to OPs as you think.

No thanks. I really enjoy eating meat and can source it from environmentally responsible sources in addition to raising my own pigs for meat. The "Lets stop eating meat" is a hollow path forward. How about instead we eat more me

My take is the opposite. There is some incredible work going on at smaller regional farms using cattle to increase grasslands and provide a sustainable source of protein. Farming in a way that doesn't vilify the cow. CAFO (concentrate

You are right on the money here and I wish more people understood that there is a sustainable path forward using animals as part of the carbon capture solution. When you say you are on the other side do you mean actively working on ranching

You may want to reevaluate this. Deer easily jump 5’ fences, goats can be contained with a sturdy 3.5’ fence. I own 4 goats that are contained on 2 acres… regularly see deer coming and going as they please, jumping over a fence the goats ca

Shock collars are expensive when you need 50+ of them, plus keeping them all charged etc. the current method of portable net-type fencing is very efficient.
