I'm assuming it's journalism being biased towards certain political factions. I can't comment on other countries, but this is definitely true for the UK. If you look at the top 10 newspapers in terms of circulation (which, AF

I think it matters. If an entity donates a considerable amount of money to a political party, and the goals are not obviously aligned, it poses questions about why they did it.

Lockdowns _did_ have a non-technical interpretation. The main purpose was to avoid everyone getting sick at the same time so that hospitals wouldn't run out of beds. I think the main problem with politicians was that they hesitated bec

"we shall fight them on the beaches" was not about metaphorical war. I was about real war, with real bombs falling and real enemy boots ready to invade. The above post is about a contractual dispute, for which a lawsuit is the obv

I honestly don't understand your comment. "we shall fight them on the beaches" is war-time motivational speech. We live in peace-time (in Europe at least). In a stable, peace-time society, disputes are solved in courts.

> Playing the devil's advocate I think my employer will only pay for one more comment :) I agree, but most things in life are social conventions. The problem is not identifying them, but changing them.

Playing the devil's advocate: Football has its roots in amateur and local associations with little or nothing to do with profit. In fact, only in the 1990s (with the explosion of cable TV and sports channels) did it started becoming a

The club owners pushing for this are equally responsible and fans blame them as well (in fact, some of them have resigned already). I haven't heard anyone blaming exclusively Americans (except for the linked article), if that's wh

I think it's pretty much the same throughout Europe. A massive component of football's success is the illusion that "anyone can make it" and win everything, being just 11 vs. 11. I say illusion, because it's true in

I've been enjoying using Noteplan and Obsidian. The main reason is actually data freedom. By having all the data as plain text I can sync it and backup as I like, move between platforms (macOS, Linux) and if I get bored with those apps

I'd agree, except it reads to me as "many of the erudite readers _of this_ little book", it seems to imply erudites of Darwin's book.

I mean ... I get what he's saying but no, it's not well written and it's tautological. Since erudite literally means having a deep knowledge: "I am sure many experts on X know X inside out"

Sure, I understand the appeal (and I even use substack, but just free tiers tbf). Just trying to understand why is traditional media scared of substack and, apparently, not scared of other similar sevices.

by rvieira 6y ago
Perhaps I'm missing something, but what is fundamentally different, technically or business model-wise from, say Medium? Is it just that substack is grabbing a bigger mind share?

This is not "whataboutism", it's simply prompted by your "classic EU attitude: Was there a single resignation or admission of guilt from the UK goverment for one of worst responses to COVID19?

I don't know who tells you things, but the consensus by economists was: 1) Leaving on WTO rules would crash the British economy 2) Leaving with a deal would be better than 1), but still bad The UK is on 2) at the moment.

As others mention, consider if you want kids or not. It is much more difficult to keep up (physically and mentally) with a 3 year old at 50ish than at 30ish. If you do want it, it's a kind of trap[1] to delay because "the time is
