That's a bit of an appeal to authority, no? It might have given results but it wasn't without cost, is it net-positive overall? This style doesn't build bridges, it's purely adversarial, diplomacy requires building bridg

I abandoned LR a long time ago due to an issue with my Adobe subscription, and stuck with Capture One since then. To be honest I much prefer Capture One's workflow and tools, never felt I missed LR even though I had used it for 10 year

Over there in the USA there's a culture of extreme deference to corporate leadership, probably stemming from the slavery and servitude past. It's very similar in Brazil as well, sharing from the same past. It's funny that suc

I found the same worked very well for me, around lunch hour is the best time for me to train. I managed to go to the gym after work for a few years when I was on my early 20s, I had to force myself many times but I liked the routine and was

Just leave the bot running on your home PC, a Telegram bot can be programmed in any language of your choice that can communicate via a network. If you aren't a programmer it's also the kind of small project that LLMs are great at,

No, they won't, punishment is never better than good design that incentivises and directs how something ought to be used. Jaywalking is even a misdemeanor in some areas of the USA, it doesn't stop it from happening at all.

That was a very narrow window of time, mostly the time between the fall of the USSR ending the Cold War up to 9/11, so about a 10 years period since the end of WW2. Before that the USA was aiding and fostering violent dictatorships, he

The enormous, diverse country excuse is a good thought-terminating cliche but doesn't really hold up when the population of such enormous, diverse country is well concentrated along the coasts, with very dense rich pockets. Sweden, for

Our current incentives system is absolutely amoral, there's no financial/economic benefit for being moral, it's the opposite: being moral is penalised since you'd be disadvantaged competing with others who don't car

Payouts from records were also quite meager unless you were already a well-known act. Music labels contracts have always been exploitative, they usually require the band to pay back costs like studio time, producer, mix/master engine
