Taxes should be as high as necessary but as low as possible. Debt should be reduced by reducing government spending, not by higher taxes. I don‘t know where you get the idea that paying taxes somehow makes you more invested in politics. Swi

A distributed drone network would be perfect for quickly finding mountaineers and skiers who have had an accident, which happens a lot here. Strange they don‘t mention that usecase specifically in the article.

It would divert the ad spend from X to the NYT and other traditional media though, so you could argue they have something to gain from the boycott. News outlets have lost a lot of money to social media companies the past two decades.

Not sure which update this is about, but just a couple months ago my app updated with a big redesign and they forgot the alarms feature! [0] I wasn't able to turn off my alarm for a couple of weeks until they reimplemented it. https:&

Maybe that will help extend the veneer of science on social studies for a few more years before the echo chamber implodes.

I didn't understand that the icon (logo?) on the Interactive Space section was actually a button and thought it was just screenshots. Maybe a labeled button would be better.

I use an app called Airflow on my Mac to stream local video files to Apple TV. It's $20, but lifetime license and it's been working fine through the years.

From the SwissRe report linked above: Urban development, wealth accumulation in disaster-prone areas and inflation are key factors at play, turning extreme weather into ever rising natural catastrophe losses.

> extreme weather is not caused by global warming Even just this single one is too broad. There've been more than a few extreme weather events where I live this summer. Each time the media uses those to push for more climate action,

Serious question: Do you do something while listening to audiobooks? Go for a walk? Cook? Or do you sit / lie down with your eyes closed?

Same with all media to be honest. Literature, videogames, music. There's been an uncountable number of masterworks over the past decades and you could fill a whole lifetime with incredible content. We're drowning in slop and we do

I hope Steve1989 reviews one of these. For those who don't know, Steve reviews (mostly military) rations, all the way from before the first world war to modern day. One of my favorite channels on Youtube.

Equating sitting for 90 minutes focusing on a single thing with a single or maybe two senses to jerking your limbs along to droning sounds in a dark room surrounded by drunk people is pure cultural nihilism. Sounds harsh, but that kind of t

I think there's a misunderstanding in this discussion. As an observer you can make all art political if you project politics onto it. All art isn't political in that it can be – and often is – created without politics in mind.

This is what happens when you shut down nuclear (which is carbon-neutral by the way), and start importing more. Total energy usage in Germany is down which is terrible news for your economy. The narrative that German energy policy under the

That's what happens when you turn criminals into victims. Wrong incentives and side effects make a bad situation worse.

You'd still need an insanely large battery to move 240 tons, wouldn't you? I can't find any info on the battery capacity of this specimen.

Interesting, but wouldn't that make every brick building, like, say, on a street in the UK, "brutalist"? I suppose you could argue there's a lack of brutalist intent, but still.

I expected to see Kuwait on top as I had in the past, but the list is incomplete. Maybe these are just the countries they could find the data by gender. After small island nations, number one is still Kuwait: https://en.m.wikipe

The fact that there are no descriptive captions for any of the images on that page annoys me to no end.
