Would it really be so bad if some people stopped working altogether? One of the proposed justifications for UBI is that automation creates wealth that could (or in some arguments, should) go to everyone rather than the ultra wealthy. That a

Let’s start with Scuttlebutt. It is decentralized and append-only but doesn’t use a blockchain nor any proof systems. Could something like that be useful for other scenarios than chat to meet the goals of web3? Similar questions for IPFS an

Given their source, I think either what they wrote is not what they meant, or they misread the DSM. Specifically, it’s important to differentiate between symptoms “emerging” in adulthood vs. being identified in adulthood. What they wrote im

Huh? What part of something like a horcrux relies on a centralized third party?

Oof. Sorry to hear that. I have some tactics I can provide if you’re interested.

Does that really justify an entire blockchain infrastructure? This is possibly a hot take, but I can’t help but feel like key recovery as you describe could be implemented on its own, e.g. like horcrux[0] 0: https://github.com&#x

It’s not just environmental factors that cause chronic depression. Sometimes the environmental factors are the “trigger” that start depression in a person predisposed to it.

The thing that constantly amazes me is that for many people, keeping a planner or staying organized aren’t that difficult. I am very effective and have good follow through, and I thought the hard work I had been putting in was what everyone

I think there’s a nuance here in the sense that progress happens both inside the established system and outside it - grassroots campaigns, protests, local initiatives, etc. I think the key issue is that it seems like so many smart people ar

I adore Gemini, but what I’m imagining here is something that serves a wider range of web use cases, which Gemini does not support, by design.

I see this argument so often and it simultaneously dumbfounds me and intrigues me. It’s inane, rose-tints the early internet, and focuses on one small part of the internet (websites) as being valuable and tosses the rest aside. But the idea

Clarification: I agree fatalism is bad, but that doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t have a conversation around the rest of the comment.

I think you’re getting downvotes by saying “it’ll never happen” which I find unfortunate because I think the observation that the Internet’s fundamental mode (“message”) as authoritarianism is incredibly interesting and worth discussing. Th

Very few of the people on this forum are advocating for a complete removal of vehicles from society! Cars and trucks have a purpose and we should always use them when it’s the best choice for hauling goods. But we overuse cars because our i

Okay, I am for making most cities pedestrian and bike-only zones with exceptions for delivery vehicles and carefully isolated motor vehicle routes. Do you think framing my position with a solution will really change the discussion?

I am anti-car and it has nothing to do with drivers - it has to do with infrastructure. Our cities are designed for cars, multi-ton machines the favored entity in a sea of squishy humans. I think this sets us all up to be in conflict, to fo

Is that attitude limited to millionaires? I know a lot of people who have $1000 to invest who are nowhere near having a million dollars in assets.

The idea of grounding UX in physical analogues, in my view, is incredibly important. No matter how much we interact with digital screens, we still walk on ground, pick things up with our hands, etc. Just because we can do anything in a digi

But going back to the comment above, I don’t think that flat design is inherently to blame here. Flat design doesn’t require the removal of shadows etc. in order to favor aesthetics over usability. That removal of signal is just bad design.
