Semantically, "when" implies that something will happen, whereas "if" implies that it could happen.

To me, cancel culture is a behavior where individuals, countries or corporations decide to cut ties or refuse to do business with other individuals, countries, or corporations, usually informed by some popular opinion. It's a form of c

It doesn't mention anywhere in the press release that Coca Cola was forced to pull out of Russia due to sanctions. This makes it seem like a voluntary action.

I find it interesting that this acquisition is allowed... but when Lockheed Martin tried to acquire Aerojet Rocketdyne, it was shot down by the FTC. Why does Big Tech get a pass? Is it because they feed the government free data on every sin

How does Apple manage to blow every other computing OEM out of the water? What's in the secret sauce of their company? Is it great leadership? Top tier engineering talent? Lots of money? I simply don't understand.

I think war is an interesting new phenomenon, similar to a pandemic. It's a black swan event that warrants discussion.

Good point. It really does seem like the US uses NATO countries as proxies for its global imperialism campaign.

The combined forces of Russia, China, NK and Iran could probably muster a fight. Not sure how likely that WW3 scenario would unfold, though.

The answers to your leading questions are probably classified at the TS/SCI level. I think it's safe to assume that there are a non-trivial amount of psyops happening on those platforms, since those sites are among the main source

I'm eagerly awaiting a technological breakthrough in storage that renders compression pointless.

Force them at gunpoint, obviously. Jokes aside, the answer to that question is highly circumstantial. If you live in a very culturally/racially/ethnically homogeneous area, there probably won’t be much of a push for diversity beca

Same here. I think it actually improved my mental health because I can only post 5 comments a day. I also feel like this limitation gives my comments a lot more weight, so it challenges me to really make a quality comment if I can help it.

Yeah, the shadow muting/karma monitoring system leads to inorganic discussion since people are constantly walking on eggshells to protect their karma. I think 4chan has done moderation better than anyone to date.

It’s not that people are against diversity and inclusion. It’s that they are against the insincere and awkwardly forced pushes for diversity and inclusion by companies. Forcing behaviors and pushing insincerity leads to noncompliance and re

This will suck until enthusiasts figure out how to jailbreak the processors to unlock maximum speeds.

Genetics ftw. I firmly believe that consumer genetic tests, self-order lab tests, and overseas pharmacies will disrupt the corrupt healthcare system because they empower patients to treat themselves instead of resorting to conventional medi

Not to mention that you still need to pay taxes to the IRS even if you live abroad. Want to not pay taxes? You must renounce your US citizenship. Want to renounce your citizenship? You must now pay an expatriation/exit tax on your asse

Yup. It's no wonder why medical tourism is such a big thing. Why pay 10 thousand dollars a month for [insert any random drug here] in the United States, when you can buy a roundtrip ticket to France to pick up a 3 month supply of the s

This evokes in me an image of a laptop built with fully reconfigurable hardware (something like an FPGA). Imagine if you could actually download a faster processor :)

These comments all present valid reasons why low-code is usually a nightmare. To me, the most egregious offender is vendor lock-in: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vendor_lock-in . It's all fine and dandy if you foun

Pledge drives, wow... that really puts things into perspective for me. It's a tragedy that an invaluable public resource like Wikipedia is forced to do pledge drives, while at the same time, the government spends trillions on defense a

Yeah, that's why I think making part of the taxes non-electable could be a solid choice. That way, you can still give the government some autonomy for spending, just not all of it (because from my jaded perspective, governments are

How else do you expect LEO to get paid? They want some of that sweet tax avoidance revenue too! Jokes aside, taxes are an awesome social construct that should fund many essential things that citizens need such as a stable infrastructure, ut

Solus is one of my favorite Linux distros. Time for a reinstall, unless anyone wants to share a similar/better distro.
