>I believe it was one of the outcomes of universal basic income trials, people would engage more with the arts and creativity. Off topic but this result is one of many reasons why UBI will not be established any time soon. People in gene

Hm. Not sure how it could be the case that not learning something takes the same amount of time as learning something. Can you think of any more examples of this? It would be great if I could learn those things; even if never have a use for

Precisely my point. Holding on to the antiquated manual transmission makes the easier form of driving more expensive.

Currently, manual cars still account for 70 per cent of the 31.7 million cars on UK's roads. If you want to make it easier to learn to drive, break the British fetish for manual.

> Funny how findings like this get almost no attention at all, isn't it? Not really. Without metrics for attention and a definition of “findings like this,” your intuition is as good as mine. I’ve seen dozens of articles and quite a

I think it helps to start with what you think “getting out from under that” means. Why do you think it’s a problem for Japan have this much debt to GDP?

> if we don't buy their books, they won't be able to produce the next one for people to pirate. This is a false dichotomy. Book piracy and traditional book publishing co-exist. If book publishing wants to better compete with pi

A sad day for equal access to information. I’m glad that they made money from Z-Library, they deserve that money for the service they provided. It’s some bullshit that they were arrested in Argentina on behalf of the US government. From wha

Two hypotheses: (1) There’s a lack of immunity to some old respiratory viruses that mutate every year. Should be back to normal in 1-2 years. (2) COVID has made people more aware of respiratory illness in general. It has introduced basicall

I wish I had your patience, but I just don't. I find the entire process so insulting to my time and intelligence that I refuse to participate, especially after spending 6 hours -- 6! -- buying a specific EV in the Bay Area. I also find

You get treated decently with strong unions because strong unions have power. It’s not a matter of the corporation, which has no feelings because it is not a person, loving you back. We should recognize the incentives of all the groups at t

I stored my BTC using Geographically distributed multisig and it still lost 40% of its value against USD in the last 6 months. So what’s the point?

This isn’t about where you keep your coins, not really. That’s an implementation detail. This is about the entire system of wealth protection built up around fiat currency. The word of the week is “contagion”: even if you did no business wi

The stock going up is what kills it. Apple’s stock has gone bananas the last 4 years, no refresher is going to beat or match that.
