I use AdonisJs at work. Having used Rails and Laravel before it was a very easy jump.

Exactly, I would prefer it if we decommodified water use with and regulate use base on sustainability needs. It would have prevented all these water companies like Nestle from stealing the water from various regions.

It's not the same, but there are similarities. It's not like the US hasn't knowingly killed civilians before. And speaking of the war in Ukraine, I truly believe the US provoked Russia. Of course, Russia is responsible for it

I don't agree. Yes in one sense people are all the same. But differences in each country really do matter. As do cultural differences. I grew up in the US but I've lived in South Africa for nearly 10 years. I've also lived in

Because of Hillary Clinton. Kidding. Kind of.

Well because it's true. It's beyond clear that the rich get bailed out. It's libertarianism on the way up, socialism on the way down, but only for the rich. Would that we respond as fast to the needs of ordinary people as to

Call me cynical, but I view the subsidies for these new US fabs as hedge against loosing production in Taiwan in the event of a war with China. That small price delta will be nothing if that happens.

Everybody is talking about how expensive nuclear is, and how wind and solar is a much better option. But that assumes we can actually mine all the copper, nickel, etc that we need. And do so without destroying fragile ecosystems and polluti

That's assuming we can keep up production in key materials, like copper, nickel, etc. It takes a shit ton of water to process copper, often in places that don't have a lot of it like the Atacama region in Chile. To say nothing of

Well the raw materials for renewables, like copper and rare earths, are quite dirty to produce, and often done in the global south, and a not insignificant amount was produced in Russia. So there are a lot of costs that don't show up f

Key section that stood out to me: Among other steps, the Biden administration recently said it will require cloud providers to verify the identity of their users to prevent foreign hackers from renting space on U.S. cloud servers.

This is pretty cool. Just the other day there was a thread about https://poste.io . I definitely want to play around with it.

What OP describes sounds like the common bad trip with various psychedelics. Of course there are differences, but it's very easy to get yourself into a state of mind that you can't easily get out of for hours on end. Definitely no

I'm not an ardent socialist, but seeing this stuff happen time after time, makes me want to take everything the capitalist class has.

I found my current job on Upwork, and after a couple of months we moved to a direct arrangement. Not ideal, but it can work.

Maybe the banks don't tell competing banks how much you have, but since the Patriot Act, I wouldn't count on the government not knowing if they want to know.

Maybe, but globalization is how China got industrialized so fast in the first place. Help your enemy get rich, and then watch as they push you off your place. Not a smart strategy either.

Ahem, have you forgotten about the NSA spying on US citizens? Every government covets that power. It's a fantasy to assume they don't.

I agree. As highly controversial as IQ is, it does measure something, and is correlated to certain outcomes. I scanned the paper, but I don't recall if this was just K-12, or also higher ed, but I wonder if this result would fall apart

Nothing wrong on iterating on what came before.

And how much is the average employee making? Honestly I'm down for making a law that says in order to pay execs more, they have to pay their workers more. Even at a 50 to 1 ratio of worker to exec, they can still make more money but in

This sounds like something the military should already have figured out.
