The church and royalty were almost always intertwined, power invested by god into the crown for divine legitimacy and thus has the power to decide what is right and wrong. The clergy also had the skills and resources to read and write, some

Similarly it's the same feeling I have towards cards. Birthday cards, get-well cards, mother/father day cards, valentine cards. All thrown out in a matter of days if not the same day, yet the older generations still think they are

Elon Musk isn't the only person trying to take over the world, some private entities just go about it a different, more subtle way due to a lack of personality or humanity. The only way to continue growth for apple is to expand into ot

Indeed, early access games have a similar problem where certain developers get a lot of initial capital for an incomplete game and then slow down the development process for one reason or another, sometimes even completely abandoning the st

It's really frustrating because there are multiple great games that have come out of kickstarter like hollow knight and hyper light drifter, but many people getting burned by undelivered promises has halved the amount of money being do

People are allowed to do whatever they want. Any claims of lack of passion or work ethic are opinions and anecdotes of individual experiences. There is limited time in a day and in life, you can't spend hours on multiple hobbies and in

Unfortunately governments plan in 5 year cycles, companies plans of Amazon scale are typically longer than that. I fear we will, and in some ways already have, reached a point where corporation actions influence government decision through

Surprised I've never heard this book or IBM's specific involvement with the Nazi regime. Strange how of the many times IBM has been mentioned this isn't one of the glaring facts that atleast one person brings up.

What a type of algorithm like this will never account for (and what it should really be used for) by design is nepotism.

Let's just say the UK taxpayer is paying to keep a "special relationship". Whatever the real value of that is to citizens will remain a mystery.

All that just to charge him with skipping bail. It's not even a question on whether he will be extradited to the US.

Wouldn't generalise that much in saying my government (UK) is truly representative more than the US, but in the US in general, it seems that whatever business exists there has to be something for the middleman.

Corporations can't win big if they aren't exploiting some workforce somewhere. Whether it's keeping their skilled employees quiet on the shady business and anti-consumer practices through the veiled threat of job stability an

He's right, and nothing on these sites feels 'real'. Not even the people you know in real life project themselves as they are, and if they do it's only the happy side of their life that people see which is certainly not

Have you tried getting it back now that machinima.com is defunct (albeit much like the original content that got them off the ground)? I think rooster teeth probably don't want to be associated with that brand anyway.

If the movie was supposed to vilify financial scams instead of glorifying it yes it would be ironic. But Wolf of Wall Street was very glorified. Even when you think the anti-hero is finally going to get his just deserts he gets off relative

And use a highlighter or just write on the book to refer back to bits when writing notes. If it's just a standard paperback I'm sure most won't have reservations for writing on their books.

But the government doesn't own the lines, so unless they feel like nationalizing the utilities that's the only thing they can do. And I'm sure the lobbyists are making sure that doesn't happen too... It's a dirty ra

That's the paradox with e-voting/internet voting. You need to verify the voter is who they say they are, but it also has to be completely anonymous. The banks know who you are and what you do with your bank account, you can't

I already made the switch to Firefox and DuckDuckGo. I still got to stop using Youtube and either root my android and get rid of all google apps or replace my Pixel 2 with (never thought it would come to this) an iphone, which as it stands
