I read that in the article. Does Italy have any legal jurisdiction over PornHub? They're probably a Cayman company or something like that, right? I suppose the content could be blocked in Italy but that's about it.

The TL;DR is for people who didn't read it. I thought the premise was obvious. He didn't go into great detail explaining how selfish, rude, and immature thinking cripples every part of society today from the drive-thru to the emer

This guy is profane, unintentionally funny, and right about a lot of things! If you're not a dev, this won't make any sense. If you are, he makes some good points.

You kinda missed the TL;DR, no? He says because of that teenage culture, we now having teenage level thinking and behavior in what should have otherwise been mature adults, and with dire consequences.

An eye opening rationale for something that's clearly been happening my entire life (50+ years): people are more selfish, less educated, less responsible, and less kind than ever before.

I don't think it'll work. Museums like to claim copyright over works which A) were created before copyright existed and B) would have had their copyrights expired long ago anyway. It's mostly a scare tactic. Big publishers wi

It's a pretty cool swamp. In fact, I think the PBS documentary and the book about it are called just that. What the sugar industry has done there is terrible and had consequences for the water table all throughout Florida. It's qu

Glen Bell also visited the original McDonald's around the same time as Ray Kroc and the Pizza Hut guys were getting a tour of how that operation worked. Less well known is Bell's western and railroad theme park near Sonora, CA tha

I lived in Florida for 17 years so I say this with some authority. The true history of Florida is that it was abandoned by everyone from the Spanish to the US military because it is basically uninhabitable without mosquito repellent and air

This is certainly a good argument and I use it myself (for nuclear fusion, space stuff, etc.), but, in fairness, it did take a long time (100 years?) before regular paper money was widely accepted. So, there's that.

I think what was meant is that digital payments like you find in games were a really innovative idea back in the day, when the poster mentions discovering them. That is the genesis of all crypto projects. (Remember Flooz, anyone?). Clearl

I'm a polyglot and founder and I've also done enterprise work for several large companies, so I'll weigh-in. I think it's because i18n is expensive and difficult. In starting a new project, internationalization means you

It wasn't meant to be violent but definitely American. Specifically, the fact that we developed this early in our history and instead of an expanded passenger rail network, while Europe went the other way. It simply is not true that ot

Mussolini said fascism should rightfully be called corporatism because it is the marriage of the corporation and the state. If Elon wants to do those things as a capitalist, he can fund them without public money. Since corporations are ma

I accept that accusation with exceptional American pride. I think everyone should be proud of the unique features of his or her country and how they led to its history. I love your definitely non-random town selection in the US. Excellent.

I was not aware that it had gotten so large. That's cool. But it still doesn't run end-to-end, like ours did from the beginning. That feature lead to the development of both sides of the country.

Not to be cynical, but because people who run things make a lot of money from smartphones, the internet, antibiotics, vaccines, and paid energy. We could have had free energy a long time ago (Tesla, the guy, not the company) but the wealthy

In 2027? So in six years we'll have an orbiting space hotel? Given the current status (and length) of other human habitation in space projects, it seems unlikely.

This is the same reason that facial recognition software overwhelmingly identifies people of color incorrectly. If you don't involve people of color in the software development, how could the algorithms identify them correctly?

TL;DR = Ponzi scheme selling "AI investing" nets $12M. If more people knew how computers and software worked, fewer would believe in software or AI scams.

The Florida Turnpike system is the most amazing road I've ever been on. It's 309 miles with incredible Service Plazas that contain separate areas for trucks and cars, a gas station, sparkling restrooms with attendants (and sponsor

I agree. You have to have a product before you have a brand. The customer's experience with the product is the "brand experience." The meaning of brand is very literal; it was burned into a cow so you'd know whose cow it

Great comment. It's just not practical to have two systems. Too expensive. Too hard to get anyone to sign off on both. Both take a lot of public money and it's hard to get people to duplicate spending when the other thing is &quot

Yes, I was speaking of country-scale. Specifically, countries the size of the US, which are few and far between. This is not possible at country scale in the US.

by mimixco 5y ago
What's unique about the US system is its scale. It's 48,000 miles of graded, standardized highways with safety features, exits, services, etc. There's just nothing like that anywhere and it helped our country develop in the u

This is a fascinating, well-written, and collaborative take on an edgy and evolving subject. I'll give the TL;DR only to get you to read the whole thing: IP content has always been remixed forcibly by audiences and NFTs allow further m

Exactly. And scaled massively. And overdone in the usual US style, with US-style repercussions.

China doesn't have the national road network like the US, so they built out a train system. As far as air travel, their Comac airplane has been accused of being a copy of an Airbus. It has about 300 orders from Chinese companies and no

It's interesting that Amazon (who spends a fortune on trucking) has created their own cargo airline and starting buying metal because it works out better for them than paying a trucking company. They make money on fast turnaround and b
