It's easy to blame "economic issues" for all sorts of social problems, but I doubt that has much to do with this one. The 4channer-types I've known were mainly from rather well-off families and with tons of means and op

The stated purpose of telemetry is to improve their products. Yet the telemetry itself is a massive problem in their products. Does anyone know what, if any, product improvements have been made thanks to telemetry?

Unpopular opinion, but this whole career choice of "YouTube content creator" seems like a frightful gamble in the first place. You've intrinsically tied yourself into a particular company's product. I guess I don'

I am grateful for these "snide remarks", as to me there is nothing so important and interesting as trying to bring humans out of oppression and suffering (no matter who is the instigator). Something I found amazing (horrific) when

Another benefit of beauraucracy, which I think is understated, is that it might be our best antidote to corruption. When you have a networked system of approvals and records, and people whose livelihood depends on them maintaining those rec

Wow, that is horrific. I don't know how that is tolerable! I had no idea you could have a yard so full of ticks as that. Super interesting, thanks for sharing!

To be fair, not everyone "survived" videogames. I know plenty of people who got "trapped" by them as young adults and some lost years to it or never really moved on. By which I mean, had them as an addiction/escap

You'll have to find a third-party cross-border sales shop with a presence in Japan. The company I was using for this before (Dynamism) doesn't do laptops anymore and only does 3d-printing hardware. So you'll have to find an
