Because a company of Microsoft's magnitude will build a walled garden around their ecosystem over time? Haven't we seen this effect in play like a million times?

Mostly the same here, except there's a specific problem around giving up caffeine - a clear reduction in motivation. As I recall caffeine has an effect of "enhancing" dopamine sensitivity in the brain which is the likely caus

Wind accounted for 2,2% of our total energy production in 2020. I don't imagine it's hugely higher today. Nuclear will be doing the heavy lifting in the immediate term. That is not to say you aren't right - indeed there'

I find absolute US and EU (FIN) prices to be quite on par in categories like groceries, restaurant, alcohol etc. Of course US has something like triple salary in tech at least, making their purchase power generally much better.

Granted it's a somewhat of an edge case because of the state monopoly, but at least alcohol is 20-40% cheaper at the airport in FIN airports UK duty free (pre COVID) also seemed to be slightly better priced in contrast to high street

Same here. I was supposed to buy stuff from JFK but no price tag = no purchase. Also, why are US duty free shops garbage compared to European ones? It's double price at the airport in contrast to the local shops, whereas in EU you can

Had a similar experience with what I recall was my gas provider - they called me because they needed a reading or similar, and starting asking identifying questions on the phone from me on a call they initiated. How does anyone think this i

Very interesting. I alternate between purchasing organic eggs and a variety called the Omega-3 egg; the former having a very bright yellow yolk and latter a deeper orange. Was always curious if one is ”better” than the other. Interestingly,

No, it doesn't. Because not all software companies can be a) under influence of a foreign government potentially hostile towards yours and b) software has varying degrees of replacement difficulty. Example - building an entire smart ci

The point here is - don't build critical functionality via companies that are under the thumb of foreign superpowers. "But what about USA??" I don't expect Europe as it is now to be in hostile terms with USA. But the pri

It’s been interesting to note how Kaspersky has been responding to the scrutiny. It’s almost always the same - ”we have been audited a huge amount of times and no-one has ever found anything!” It’s suspicious because as someone who is a ven

Yes I do because I agree to a point with western media bias - all of the biolab and other things are being pushed in these channels too.

No, I don't. This narrative is so ridiculous and obvious Russian war justification propaganda I don't understand how people don't see through it. What the viewpoint is suggesting is that sovereign smaller countries (like Ukra
