Denying climate change is also becoming unfashionable, while vegetarianism and electric cars become fashionable. These are good trends that have been slowed down for many years by corporate campaigns such as Global Climate Coalition [1]. Th

If you think that Belarus is close to being as autocratic as Hungary (it isn't) and then you think that Hungary is nearly as autocratic as Poland (which is far from the truth as well), then it's time that you learn more about thes

FT and WSJ are both worse than NYT in this respect -- they require a phone call at a specific period of time and there is a waiting time. I'm not going to subscribe to FT and WSJ ever again. If I really need to read them, Bypass Paywal

Taking the last week out of context makes little sense, because the last week is just a snowball that started on the 11th of January 2021, when Ryan Cohen and two of his friends from Chewy joined GameStop’s board, after building up a 13% st

I think that the value of IQ is overestimated. IQ tests don't capture "nuanced understanding of the universe on a variety of domains". They measure something much more narrow, i.e., how good you are at the particular type of

Try Heroes of Might and Magic 3 (HD version with Horn of the Abbys). This turn-based strategy game is excellent. It's 20 years old, and yet it has a larger average Twitch viewership than AoE, because of its awesome competitive scene.

I wait for this trend to grow further. Procedural generation offers higher replayability, requires players to adapt their strategy every time, and shifts the focus from map design to core gameplay, which distinguishes games from books. Proc

Do you mean reasons such as alleged weapons of mass destruction, which turned out to not exist? Such reasons are enough to warrant killing 500k people? Isn't 500k people dead a mass destruction? Just look at the reality.

Are you talking about the US? The US has started more wars and killed more people in the last 20 years than China. It spends on military half of what all countries together spend on this planet. Under Trump, things only worsened: the countr

Invasion on Iraq led to many deaths and was based on false premises and similar "disagreement in management styles". War with China would be a terrible calamity. I don't understand why, but the US is turning into a bad actor,

Once oil producers have to pay the carbon tax, the consumption will go down, because the price of oil will go up.

False. Scientists and economist have proposed to introduce carbon pricing, which would increase the prices of fossil fuels and oil, without forcing any utopian ideas, by simply including the cost of fighting the effects of global warming in

Indeed. Note that you wrote "either keeping it or reselling it would be better for the environment than recycling the device". My point is that recycling means exactly "keeping it or reselling it", while you keep on usin
