Partly agree. I agree that what makes old tech good is agency, but I find it strange that you offer as an example "handing a 5yo a phone with a documentary". Phones give you no agency, other than play and stop. They don't wor

It's not controversial, I've heard the same for about 10 years now. I still thinking they're wrong - people who need control cant really on social network apps. People who are just "consumers", sure, but those alrea

Does tape array replace castor? Just from the names it sounds like tape array is the actual storage, and castor is an abstraction that automatically decides what's kept on disk and what's kept on tape

I didn't start by criticizing Israel, but my previous comment was criticism of Israel, when I said that yes, many Christian evangelicals are Zionists and there are more of them, as you like to say in order to muddle the water, but but

That's another aspect of Zionism, which is that it's really not about defending Jews, it's about defending Israel. Even Jews like myself, when they criticize Israel they're immediately labeled Nazis. Really crazy stuff.

I'm happy with tutanota. It's extremely minimal though. I think it's just mail, contacts and calendar.

There's a causation that you're missing. Zionism was originally an exclusively Jewish movement. Christian evangelicals were pulled in latter on as useful idiots. So yes, Zionism is not exclusively a Jewish movement nowadays, becau

We agree on the facts. Christians outnumber etcetc. But the stereotype is that Jews control the media, not that Christians evangelicals do. It's very simple: The fact most Jews support the Israeli lobby matches the stereotype. That f

Again, you're confused. I'm saying that P(supports Israel | is Jewish) is large, and you're saying no, because P(is Christian evangelical | supports israel) is large (because there's so many more). In fact both might be

Screens aren't inherently bad. It's about the quality. I think your instincts are 100% spot on, keep trusting them. But quality/distractions aside, there are other dimensions to consider. For example, reading does take more e

I looked into this a year or so ago. My take away was that at some point someone published a very long piece which quotes stallman and step by step concludes "this is bad". And then people started quoting the piece conclusion. How

No they shouldn't, because American Koreans are for the most part very anti-DPRK and American Chinese are very anti-CPP. American Jews are very pro-Israel and donate heavily to politicians promoted by the Israeli lobby so it's les

You're right, the Israeli lobby does not equal Jews, but support for Israel is almost universal amongst Jews. It doesn't equal but it's strongly connected.
