I suppose I don’t have enough experience because I stick to the latest LTS. I agree that the Linux desktop has its shortcomings, but I still feel that it would be a great option for plenty of people who default to windows today. Especially

I wasn’t trying to imply that Ubuntu has longer support than windows, only that it doesn’t constantly make breaking changes. If you want you can use it and update once every five years and have a fairly stable desktop.

That’s not what regulatory capture means in this context. People were free to take any drug they wanted before the FDA was created, under your framework, it’s impossible for the FDA to exhibit regulatory capture, even if it’s simply a rubbe

You comment implies that utility costs would be significantly lower if OP used 1930s technology, but I’d assume that using a wood burning stove to heat their house would be much costlier. Modern technology typically allows one to use resour

It’s quite flippant of you to assert that people who are interpreting a set of facts contrary to your own interpretation, are doing so because they were “told” to by CNN. There’s plenty of evidence out there for people to make the case that

So the people trying to break into the chambers were just going to have a nice talk? I’m not sure how that video proves anything about “most” people’s intent.

If violently installing someone to power who wasn’t legitimately elected isn’t overthrowing the government in your mind, I have to wonder what qualifies. The entire premise of the rally was “stop the steal”. Clearly they weren’t all extreme

You have got to be kidding. It’s not “suddenly” sedition and terrorism. People went into the Capitol with the stated goal of overturning an election, effectively overthrowing the government. That is sedition! Seriously, I sympathize with wh

People seem to be making the point more and more frequently on HN, but it borders on revisionist history. TONS of people saw the utility of the iPhone almost immediately. Camera phones we getter more and more popular, some phones were getti

The will of the people isn’t static, in 2012 Oregon voters rejected marijuana legalization, only to approve it in 2014. Is it your position that once there is a referendum it can’t be revisited by the legislature at a later date? The last d

A question to ask is whether bezos could have started Amazon if, instead of being a wealthy US citizen, he were a poor non English speaking citizen of say, Madagascar, back in the 90s. He almost surely wouldn’t have. All that is to say that

Much of the EU has similarly high tax rates on capital. I haven’t found figures on China, but I have a hard time believing their growth is simply a matter of tax policy. Arguing about taxes is a race to the bottom in any case. What matters
