I'm not even taking into consideration de 2030 part. But yeah, I generally agree with you. Especially in this: > But the idea of "I own nothing" cannot conceivable extend to personal items like clothing. That doesn't

I don't understand this. As said in other comments, I believe most people wouldn't want most of the things the author describes. If I want to cook at home and have to order everything, I assume it won't just be there in 5 min

Yeah I understand that perspective, my question is what happens if the owner of said company wants to sell?

Yeah, I read it correctly but am just now realizing I wrote "tech companies" instead of "big tech companies", my bad. So this is more a move to preven them from bullying smaller tech companies? I can see it from that ang

This is one of the things that makes me proud to be Portuguese. Also, does anyone remember the name of the doctor that started this whole movement? I think the first name is João, but I can't remember or find it. I might be tripping, p

Question from someone who knows nothing about physics: Was the Big Crunch theory discarded? After reading the article I did some research, and several places mentioned this theory as obsolete.

From what I've read, I seem to have a unpopular opinion as it regards Jorginho and Bruno Fernandes technique (the little skip before shooting). Skipping before shooting is really dangerous in my eyes. First off, you lose shot power (m

Yeah, he would've been better off ending the sentence before that statement.

In my (little) experience, Rick like developers can cause lot of trouble if they simply decide to leave. I do think, though, that you can spot them fairly easy. Even in college. I had a very skilled classmate that wrote code only he could

Yeah, I understand that. I just think we as consumers should not accept that.

The calling to unsubscribe always gets me. How does this still happen in 2020?

What about European users? Will there be any trouble withdrawing funds? I'm for Portugal, if that helps somehow.

I actually agree that if someone is going to do it, it's going to be him. Plus the "grabbing the mic" incident was bound to happen sooner or later. Music awards keep being given to people who clearly didn't deserve them.

Who knows? Maybe that will happen to me too.

Ok, I get your point now. Even though the individual is to blame, there's no point in doing it as they won't change. The only solution is to "force" change by regulation. Did I get the gist of what you were trying to con

> With social media, this is more nebulous, but I do think part of what makes systems like Facebook "engaging" is the anxiety they create when you aren't on them, and the low self-image that users try to assuage by posting

I can see that happening, but I don't think a private business should be forced to do it. Now, I think they should do it, but because they want to. If anyone is to take action, I think the way to go is to reach the obese people and hel

I can see where you're coming from, but just like opiates, you start using them if you want, and you are aware of the risks, which most people should be when it comes to social networks. I don't know if they are but if not, they s

But they can't do it without said people help, correct? If they aim to remove agency, it's because you have it in the first place, meaning you can stop it from happening with proper information. I understand that some people might

For sure. But I mentioned the "too addictive" argument specifically. I understand and agree that facebook does more harm than good, and that is wrong and must be addressed. I just don't understand this addiction angle. Making
