That's such a false dichotomy, public transportation can be comfortable and efficient. And It is in a lot of places around the world.

Or maybe it's because they give cheap subsidized service. What's the long game? How can they keep it cheap and make profit? They can't. Because it's an extremely inefficient endeavour. I understand your point but I'

It could also be good public transportation. Much more efficient.

Why is a quickly arriving taxi more important than workers rights? Yes it's more comfortable, for you. But this model is just not sustainable for most people. Don't forget that this thing is subsidized. It never proved to be profi

You don't know that. The way we think changed a lot in the last 40 years. Researching the causes and dynamics of these changes are very hard to study and even harder to correlate and then much more to prove causation. We basically don&

You bought a thing with a certain agreement then the agreement is changed under you . Will they reimburse the buyers? If not, then this is nuts and immoral. If they do reimburse you, then it's just scary. The fact an unscrupulous entit

When the mantra of a huge swathe of business is "disruption" "move fast and break things" etc, well, we end up with a broken disrupted system. Innovation is good, but stability is also good. Instead of optimizing only fo

I know it's not a common opinion, but I believe that other than the rational argument you presented (which I agree with) I do think it's also a matter of values and mentality. Yes Google is a big org, their business is problematic

This is mostly true but it also comes with self deception/naivety that the people in charge won't do harm to civilians. Given evidence to the contrary they prefer to imagine it as a lie. So it's not correct today that they co

The geography is essential for the taste flavour and aroma. This is not a synthetic crop, it is defined by the land it grows on and the tradition of the local makers.

Maybe, and if they succeed, what will the US do then? This is a terrifying path.

There's a third option, which is Taboo in the US.

It's a sad affair. The measures wouldn't have to be so severe if there wasn't so much noise about it. A bit of cool headed thought, compliance, and leaders we could trust might have saved our grandparents while ensuring a pre

Mozilla tech brought value right? MDN bright value right? Wasm, rust etc, brought value. But no profit. Could it be that profit isn't synonymous with value? Just a thought.

That's because he tried to play fair. Look at Sheldon Adelson, I won't talk about US politics, but during the last twenty years he pretty much changed the entire press landscape of Israel subordinating it to Netanyahu. He made a h

There's an old Jewish adage, help your city's poor first. I believe your point is similar.

It's not the yacht, nor the money per se. It's the power they wield. A single person can entirely overtake democracy when he has billions. He can own press, politicians, etc.

People warned about this in the 90s. But the messages were ignored because of shiny products. Are you willing to think harder now given the prices we pay for not doing so? Let's say China is the world biggest problem. The last few year

We should, we don't. There are great forces working on making you think certain ways by emphasizing certain data, and push messages that promote certain reason making. The more money is at stake the greater force is applied. The last f

Stopped to think on it. And no, that doesn't make sense. Most Americans don't benefit from this strong economy. So that's just a silly term.

In an ideal world us companies wouldn't move all operations to China since the 90s thus giving China the power they wield now. Corporation greed and uber-consumerism brought us here, not China. China's the symptom.

People are associative not rational. They like X's posts, then they like X, then they tend to assume X is right because they like him, so they tend to be less critical of X which makes them like X's posts even more. Anyway, the r
