And yet a billion people in this world are starving... Cutting back on industrial agriculture means participating in a genocide, basically. Some geeks here are coming up with sci-fi ideas of producing food in vertical farms, or underwater,

And what's wrong with that? "Gig" is not a real job, so it doesn't have to pay a real salary :) It's a temporary solution for people in-between jobs.

> Poland and Hungary are shitfests, with almost complete political control of the justice system. That's not exactly true, Poland is a country where most of the judges are basically in open rebellion against the current government,

Effective allocation of resources means firing people that are not necessary for the company. Also “people aren’t just workers” might be true in general sense, but for the company they are exactly that: workers. Their private lives are not

What mental gymnastics? Green card is not citizenship, green card holders are not Americans, they don't have American passports.

Roubini is a victim of his own popularity. He was nicknamed "Dr. Doom" once, and now he desperately wants to live up to that name, so he keeps predicting the next doom. I wouldn't take any of his predictions seriously.

OP mentioned that the coffe shop show was staffed with 17-20 years olds. They don’t need to earn 20 bucks per hour, they don’t need to be able to afford mortgage, or even rent apartment by themselves (they can have roommates). No one would

But if they don't re-offend that means that this "parking ticket" actually worked, right? The goal is to make the company follow the law, not push it to bankruptcy as a revenge.

that 6.2% from your employer is in fact also part of your paycheck, it's just not shown on your pay slip (probably to fool you, by making you think you got something "for free").

When was the last time in history of mankind when taxes were actually distributed to the poor? I mean in significant amounts, not as a lame attempt to win upcoming elections.

> (insulation, ending car dependency, and legislating products that aren't landfill help the poor rather than hindering them) That's not at all what "Fit for 55" program is about. I agree, those things, over long enou

I think it is just a draft, given more time they could come up with better units. The thing is, Might and Magic RPG series was always merge of both worlds: creatures looked mystical, but you were made aware that the story takes place on som

Heroes III purists will count all the things you listed as downgrades :) For me Heroes IV is the favorite game in the series. One piece of trivia that I learned recently about Heroes II Armageddons Blade: there was supposed to be a race bas

The only way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 55% is to push everyone into poverty, basically. Make the car ownership too expensive for common folks, as well as meat consumption, buying new clothes, heating your apartment in winter, ai

That's because they do all of the above, and more, indirectly, using Russia as their puppet. They are too smart to do this openly. But you know, Putin would not start the war if he wasn't sure of China's support.

How does Waymo compare to human drivers when it comes to driving style? I've seen some complaints that it is annoyingly slow and indecisive sometimes, e.g. taking forever to make a left turn. Is this something Waymo also analyzes? Any

The problem is: human body is very energy efficient, and processed food is very calorie dense. Burning enough calories to make up for all the junk food is almost impossible, except maybe for professional athletes that spend 5+ hours a day t
