This is somewhat unrelated, but I really think 4-5 years terms for government anywhere in the world is way too long. You elect them, they break promises and pass all kinds of crazy laws, and still get to stay and keep doing damage for 5 yea

Can these companies (Craigslist, Reddit) open offices in Europe and run those sections of the website from there, somehow?

Why would it be immediately clear that a knife is dangerous? Why is it NOT clear that the contents of a steaming cup of freshly-made coffee that somebody is handling you may be hot, then? It's NOT clear that if you marry the wrong pers

Yes but then you end up having warnings on everything--like in the States. A knife is potentially dangerous, a rope is potentially dangerous, just about anything is potentially dangerous! I think it's fine to expect people have a worki

Spotify is not live content. You have albums or playlists like YT, but it's made for that and the experience is much better. Also, you avoid doenloading video content when all you need is audio.

IMO you are grossily exagerating what he's saying to prove your point. He's marely saying that compared to when social media didn't exist, it was unthinkable to have people exposing others to what they were doing and with who

Well, one or the other. I don't think it makes a difference.

I think a 25' ad for a 5' video is a lot more immoral...

by nkkollaw 9y ago
Ah, ok. Try AdGuard, it works great for YT ads.

Why not Spotify?

Why don't you install an adblocker, which will block the ads for you?

by nkkollaw 9y ago
The other day I forgot to re-enable my ad blocker after testing a site, and I'm amazed that anyone can even use YouTube without blocking the ads (let alone enjoy it). I literally have no idea why anyone would go through that to watch a

So you really think that because they swore to the Communist party 30 years ago they still push that agenda, even though it was a foreign power, that doesn't even exist anymore..?

Would you compare the change from being part of the USSR to a republic to a change of government from Monarchy to republic? I think you just start over. I'm not Polish so I don't know the situation exactly, but it's also been

Forget it, there are "Bitcoin fanboys" that have abandoned all logic. I'm not saying it isn't a cool technology an idea and one can't try, but a little common sense would still help IMHO.

If by conspiracies you mean conspiracies yes, otherwise I don't think those events are disputed by anyone. I don't think banks are bad. I have all my money at a bank, not a Bitcoin exchange. I'm just saying that ethics are no

Well sure, gold is not easily created but an asteroid made of pure gold could fall on Earth and make gold completely worthless. It could also happen that banks lobby to make Bitcoin illegal in all first-world countries. For some reason I te

Mmm... If you had a kilo of gold, would you really exchange it for bitcoins? The only people who push for that is those who have bitcoins--possibly acquired when it was worth nothing. If I had gold I would keep the gold, not replace it with

He's heavily invested in it--so I'm sure he does believe that, but I doubt banks will let that happen. Banks are known to do some really nasty stuff to make money: deceively deprive the US of government-controlled money and removi

One problem other than convincing people to use it is convincing people to pay for it. If we don't like Facebook's business model of using user data to make money we'd have to charge people to use it, and not a lot of people

It's not easy to find somebody who has the brain, knowledge, and experience to run a big company. It's extremely easy to find somebody that can serve food. Evidently, it's 1000 easier to serve food (or whatever other job). Wh
