I hate how this is described as a social media ban. It's a social media delay.

How did they do it back in the day? Was basically everything from the tooling etc. just created inhouse from scratch?

I think the "nothing I can do will change anything" is actually a predominant theme that's emerged over the past decade. I don't know if you've watched any of Adam Curtis' documentaries, but his documentary Hyp

Does this exclude Australia?

This comment is completely ignorant of at least the past 80+ years of Middle East history.

When I was a lot younger I built a very big and complex platform with Phoenix. Although it was a technical marvel, it's one of my big regrets as far as the tech stack I went with, because it's now useless for my actual work now a

The technical term for what you're broadly describing is Jevons Paradox.

Not to justify this, but is this possibly the reason why those opportunities existed?

Of course. But obviously I wouldn't be referring to those other types of autism in this case. Why would I?

I think you're also forgetting the other aspect that allows this which is having readily available public transport.

On the flip side, maybe those traits are what lead to the existence of the emulator in the first place. Better something than nothing.

It would be great if there was something like this, but for not wearing reading glasses.

I don't know if this is paranoia, but one fear I have for high-tech Chinese products is that if a world war were to start with China, that they'd have the ability to remotely disable these kinds of products.

When you say "right" are you talking about USA right or European right?

Oh right, sorry I completely misread this. I'm actually not sure in your case. My guess is that it's something you wouldn't need to worry about, but I don't know.

It depends if you forsee potentially having to sell before retirement. Or if it may just happen out of your own circumstances. Hedging is all about diversification at the end of the day. So it makes sense to hedge if you're coming clos

by dottjt 8mo ago
You also can't predict when you might need to sell you stake, so that's ultimately the value of hedging. If you're forced to sell in 5-10 years, then hedging would be valuable.

Hard question to answer without understanding your circumstances. Ultimately the point of hedging is to diversify. So the degree you should hedge is relative to the degree with which you have exposure to your home currency. So for example,

I could be misunderstanding this, but you know that you can buy ETFs that are currency hedged? Taking Vanguard for example, VGS is global equities, but VGAD is global equities that are AUD-hedged (my home country). The only downside is that

Why do the two have to be mutually exclusive though? Why can't something healthy also not also happen to benefit corporations/lobby groups?

by dottjt 8mo ago
Isn't every single policy a result of some kind of lobby group? Are you saying that it's corrupt because it's been influenced by a lobby group? Would all policies then be corrupt to some degree? Or is it corrupt because you d

That's not happening though, hence why we need more ram.

Just because it's about surveillance doesn't mean it's a bad thing? The fact that you need a driver's licence to drive a car, or a document to identify yourself to open a bank account is also surveillance. Yet it seems p

Maybe it's different in Europe, but at least in Australia you end up paying more at smaller shops, so I tend to avoid them. Is this the case in Europe as well?

When the alternative is the exact same thing you describe but for $0 dollars, then yes.

I think it's actually a bad thing to think about money early on. Because it adds a layer of responsibility which I think takes away from simply enjoying life and focusing on what you might be truly passionate about. One of the things I
