You heard wrong. It doesn't have to be immediate though.

My bet would be willingness to invest.

Yes or more correctly, my wife and I used to until we started putting all such goods (flour, oats, rice) in sealed glass containers.

Sorry, I came off antagonistic in my first reply. I'm always open to be corrected, but as far as I know nations that formed Yugoslavia haven't actually fought each other meaningfully before WWI and even in that war Slovenians, Cro

If you are making an economic (financial) argument for change like the original comment did, then yes, it should be visible positive effect. Obviously not if you are doing for your own fun or just improving the state of art.

No, they really aren't. Absolutely nobody's life is measurably improved because of 1 cent one time. I admit my opinion is not based on first hand knowledge, but I have for years worked on projects trying to address poverty at diff

That's not how economics works. If 100 million people each save 1 cent because of your work, you saved 1 million in total, but in practice nobody is observably better off.

Judges and authorities complaining is not a proof that encryption is good. Not cooperating with court will have the same effect, which is exactly what Durov is allegedly accused of.

He wasn't, you just like Ben better (which is obviously fine).

Good for you but many do not or are out of service (all Schiphol's were the last time I was there).

I love going to theaters when we visit London and over the years I've seen tens of plays if not over a hundred. Shakespeare's are the only ones I had problems following so we stopped seeing them. Like you I don't think this i

All you did is bring back the point that "end of the world" is woefully undefined in his article and discussing it makes it therefore difficult at best. We obviously disagree on what it means. For me it doesn't mean something

I'm not going to deconstruct the whole thing to appease a stranger, but let's just take the first point of the argument: That it’s easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of the internet. Setting aside what does "

As someone with sweet-tooth I don't mind the style, but I do think it masks how empty his arguments are and how unsubstantiated. Explanations that aren't really. I guess our main disagreement is if he has original ideas. I've

No, he wouldn't. The whole thing is all blitz and little substance of someone who seems to be over-read and under-thought. It's best described in his own words: a handful of sugar instead of a meal.

No. One was not worth knowing and the other died when I was young.

What the hell are you talking about? I've been to Norway 4-5 times and will visit again in about a month. It's wonderful throughout and wish we could live there.

I have zero empathy for them too, but this is still just stupid even assuming that this company is VC funded (most aren't). Most of us do not go to work to warm the seat in exchange for paycheck and poor performers are devastating for

And who will you message then? I assume most of your contacts will stay where they are.

They didn't seem to mind him running Worldcoin though. Doing two (several) jobs problem came later and this explanation doesn't really address this. Personally I don't care if pg is completely honest or if sam was fired or no

Personally I’d focus on arguments instead of motivations and skip arguing with those were it seems it will be or when it becomes unproductive.

Here (Slovenia) that is a lot of hassle for no personal benefit. Public charging is expensive enough that you'll never recuperate the higher price of the vehicle (if you can't charge at home).

So, the gist of their argument is that DMA is bad because it is forcing them to disable certain features (some of which I found useful and miss) which is detrimental to search users because the results that THEY GENERATE are not good enough

Culture is more than language (and as Slovenian our language is different too). You don't have to spend a lot of time in Croatia, Serbia and Bosnia to be able to see that they are culturally very different. I also disagree that it was

I agree with the advice which is what we do. Average home user (with emphasis on average) doesn't have 40TB, but a "normal" non-professional one might. We have about 9TB of photos. I can easily imagine someone like us, who is

Maybe they stopped new subscriptions, but I'm still paying for Netflix through Apple.
