Just to note, comparing existing economic systems in different countries can lead to very flawed conclusions. The solutions won't necessarily come from mimicking a particular system either. Your example -- Finland -- is a very homogeno

You are right, I extrapolated a bit too far.

I am an atheist but it's preposterous to dismiss the fact that a vast number of people find healing in organized or individualized religion. Or to suggest that the sole purpose of religion is exploitation for profit.

I witnessed spiritual bypass many times in the context of people becoming "spiritual" as an emotional avoidance strategy. It's even more tragic in my experience because at least traditional religions have very strong and deve

Haven't watched Drive My Car yet, but just from the trailer it looks like it's exploring loss and grief rather than the most poignant type of regret of losing something due to own action (or inaction). I.e. having agency and being

I am expecting Waymo to launch their own autonomous vehicle with a simplified body, no steering wheel, etc. They can bring down the cost as they scale. Resale value is not something they should be concerned with, it's a specialized tra

Not going to happen, too many risks. If anything, the future is autonomous vehicles without a steering wheel. I am expecting Waymo to invest into that next, after they finish expanding into several states and prove their growth and monetiza

It's safe to say that the impact on one's emotional and mental state is vastly different. This is a wider discussion of porn vs music, not necessarily OF vs recorded music though.

I agree with your suggestion with one caveat: having a Master's degree when switching to a dev role would be very beneficial. Both in terms of how it looks on paper and in terms of competency.

From what I remember vegetarian/vegan food became very popular during the pandemic and then steadily declined in popularity after. Wonder if the work on this chain started a couple of years ago and the team got the timing wrong.

That's right, Daedalus! Thanks for reminding me the name. I spent so much time in it - just floating around. It's actually possible to jump over the wall in several places and just endlessly fall down outside of the geometry of th

I am not a gamer but was absolutely fascinated by a VR game on Oculus GO that I can't even find anymore. In the game, I was essentially a metal sphere that could "jump" and float through a huge maze. It was a puzzle game. Tri

This is becoming the most valuable benefit of buying on Amazon. At least I can always return a broken product and not just eat the cost of the ever-decreasing quality of consumer electronics.

I really hope the phone starts making dial-up connection sounds when it slows down to 256 kbps.

I started just sending broken products back to Amazon. My DENON smart speaker broke outside of warranty (1.5 years), so I bought a new identical speaker and returned the broken one. It's unethical but I am just tired of paying $$$ for

In the old days of DHTML when I was in my early teens this was the way I debugged very messy JS scripts (like multi-level menus). Remove some code - see if it still breaks, remove more, and so on.

I am not a frequent IPFS user either but it seems like crypto and NFT scams masked and eventually destroyed a lot of potentially interesting tech.

You got it backwards. There is no way to argue about what music is "better". Or at least no productive way to do that. When talking about UX, I am expressing an opinion based both on my experience as an engineer and as a user. In

They blocked Signal but can't do anything to their biggest enemy Telegram?

The fact that Telegram is home to thousands of military bloggers discussing the war in Ukraine without getting blocked is a clear signal that the platform is completely compromised and controlled by the Russian state. There is a 0% chance t
