I didn't fail to see another perspective. I rejected the other positions as worse (after careful examination). That's different. Also, neutrality is for the most part just a status quo bias. "Things are good as they are"

The Chernobyl disaster was a big part of it. I wasn't old enough back then, but my parents told me how people were told to not play outside with the children, not to drink milk, eat things and so on. No one really knew what was going o

Central planning got us to the moon, current market forces brought us Facebook. Sounds like a win for central planning to me.

Of all the things speaking against Stadia, this is probably the least important one. It doesn't surprise me that Google would stipulate a client they have (more or less) complete control over. Geforce Now also uses their own client and

The main problem with Stadia is that I have to buy games exclusively for it. That makes it far more comparable to a game console than to Geforce Now, which is basically rent a PC, a - for me - far more customer friendly approach.

Nvidia is highly dependent on the game publishers making sure their games work well with Nvidia cards. The whole "best played on Nvidia" thing would fall apart if publishers stopped working with them. Unfortunately, this leads to

You are absolutely correct, but many people like to forget this cause obviously mob justice only happens to bad people. They tend to hold this position right until the mob stands in front of their own door.

Either you or I misread the question. I think it wasn't about selling a copy. It was about using copying to learn how to paint (which is fine, as you've stated) and then produce your own painting which you then sell. The sold pain

In a big enough society you can almost always find someone who has some fringe belief. If you had this once a week it could be relevant. But once? Doesn't reach the relevance threshold for policy discussions.

Interesting, thanks. Hadn't heard about any plans to phase out hydro here in Germany. I knew we didn't build new ones (for the reason you've stated + at some point there's not enough space left), but don't remember

> If we get a big hydrogen market, the problem never needs to be solved. And you force China, Russia and India into that big hydrogen market how exactly? I like hydrogen, but your argument is incoherent.

> Including nuclear and hydro in the 1/3 is kind of deceptive since both sources are actively been phased out (c.f. Germany). Uh .. who has phased out hydro?

The interesting part is not that they identify their best performers, but how they try to do it. This tells us something about the company, what they value and so on.

Which anti-youth policies do you specifically have in mind here? The SPD has done various things which were e.g. actively harmful for workers, but I don't really remember something which could be thought of as against the youth.
