Let's not move the goalposts - nobody talked about direct democracy. There's no direct democracy anywhere in the world (even in the Swiss is quite limited) so there's no reason to hold the EU to such imaginary standards. Both

Correct me please if I'm wrong but do you maybe mean with that "let's do nothing and just die"? That I cannot accept, so what else?

Make that a discussion with the local politics. In theory at least, everybody will need healthcare in their lives and more so when aging. And we need a plan for that, not to act surprised (the way some leaders act surprised with gas depende

All thanks to AI entrepreneurs, such a great achievement. Just like AirBnB destroying the historical centers nowadays, disruption at its best - just a different disruption from what they claim.

And who's gonna pay them while doing this ramp up? Years and years of getting skills? What are the eng leaders saying about it, if anything?

I'm sure you forgot that your country can send a uniformed guy to seize said foreign bank account on a whim. Or you think you'd keep it for long, while being roughed (or simply stored) in a dark cellar?

So that's exactly how it is in Switzerland and people still say it's the best place in the world. Maybe sometimes the trust in the authorities is also warranted, right? Just keep them in check all the time, it's the only way

I'm confused now: is now the EU the baddie or the governments? Because these are two different entities - and not at least, also "the EU" is a group of government representatives. So folks if you're in the EU and don&#x2

The lesson here is that some people would be very happy to reintroduce slavery, if their eggs gonna be cheaper (feel free to swap my example with any other).

AR for the regular guy is something which I remember installing on my mobile over ten years ago - with low expectations, and it never got any better than that, quite the contrary. Powered by AI or not, seems nobody has found (or looked for)

Like you correctly underlined, we are talking here about a slippery slope. Because all what you present is imaginary implications - in the realm of possibility, I agree, just still imaginary in this moment. Now, what could be done to avoid

Let me underline again that with the "fortune teller". I don't take the absolute view on the internet freedom of speech, that hate speech should be allowed. As hate speech is not allowed on the playground (you get your parent

Any intervention, heck even jogging around your house, has a risk. The only important question is: are there less automated errors than human errors? If yes, here's the progress we asked for.

You mean France and Italy where the parties which blame open border policies are governing? Somehow the whole rightwing discourse looks to me based on scare tactics: it will be so bad, it's not yet bad but just wait and it will be! All

The issue with Eastern European woods is that they're being razed - for pellets, furniture, you name it. And rarely replaced. So yes in some places you'll have new growth, but most places there's soil washing and flash floods

I read about this kind of tactics. Same with Facebook groups - knitting, cooking, history: they start by gathering a mass of normal fans, then slowly turn to the original aim of spreading propaganda. And in this case it was all pro-russian

Now I must wonder how come I never see any kind of political ads on Facebook...???

On the other hand I dropped a small wallet between chairs and when I flew back a week later it was handed to me directly - I had no idea where and when I lost it and didn't even get around putting up a claim. But that was another airli

I suppose the robberies where the shop owner gets shot instead aren't getting the same amount of clicks like the "justice being served" ones, so maybe that's the explanation.

Shortly put: she meant slavery. So I totally agree that the slave masters can have lovely holidays.

Historically saying, people doing less healthy things got culled out of the evolution of the humanity and society. Today we have "solutions" to alleviate these consequences of the less healthy hings - AI friends, therapy, you name

Hmm so it seems technology is empowering the individual to the level of killing society? I mean it in the sense that we came to this development over millennia of social fueled evolution, and now technology allows us to get rid of all this

So they will wait longer. I expect the market being market-y, women drivers will hear about it and enroll more to drive Uber. Still long wait for female waiting for female drivers, probably. Yet all this magic working without subsidies.

One of those niches is Tumblr, which I still find very different in culture from any other social networks I ever been. Or at least my niche on Tumblr is like that. Yes I do see "output-only" communities also there, but there&#x27

So this underlines the idea that no scarcity works as long there's no scarcity?

The very mention of the word "marxist" in a text is a very valid bullshit trigger nowadays. It shows very clearly the person has no idea what they are talking about and also doesn't care, preferring to wallow in buzzwords for

Yes I meant above the smoke point. There are pans (Tefal?) which get red when the they get too hot, but as it depends a lot on the type of the oil and anyway the pan bottom is covered by the very food you're overheating... not helping.

I don't get how a payment system - Pix or any other of the many similar others in the large world - is the future of money? For sure it's the future of payment systems, but what it is transacting is still plain old money, just in

I assume the populations living on subsistence agriculture are also the ones much more exposed to these climate risks.

Also almost any seed oils, even cold processed, are emitting toxic components when overheated - and who can avoid overheating in a pan? I think there was a HN discussion recently about a higher incidence of lung cancer related to hot oil co
