This is the absolute opposite take of what is actually happening. We are in the most capitalist time ever. There are a few people who own all the wealth, 2 of them are also in control of the most powerful government. This is capitalism baby

Makes sense why I've not seen gates in many places but metro networks and high speed. I agree that there will always be spots where the rails can be reached. As with many parts of human behavior, if there is more friction less people w

I'm not sure what the situation is in Denmark and guess you live in a less populated area. But if you travel by train you would ideally take public transport to the main hub. A decent network would connect you to a fairly big hub withi

You can thank all local train operators for this. They have been fighting a shared ticketing system tooth and nail at the European level and the weak politicians in Europe who don't push for a shared system. There is a legislative prop

There are things that can be done about people jumping in front of trains. Making sure the rails are not accessible with fences around them. Putting camera's at spots where people can get past the fences. In high risk stations you can

So because we want to keep government small and ad companies can get so big they basically invade every part of your life you have to leave your phone, close your eyes, stay offline, just move bro. This doesn't seem like a very serious

If I walk outside I'm bombarded by ads. Almost all websites have been tailored to include ads and hide information. You're tracked on all devices you touch. Vaguely referencing more laws or larger government doesn't mean anyt

This looks like it's going to be a huge issue once the news spreads more. Basically all Intel 13th and 14th gen consumer CPU's can't be trusted and changing the clocks doesn't help. Which means basically no company with

If your kid can't swim you shouldn't let it go in on its own. There is no reason to spoil the fun for everyone. You can ban all fun or tell parents to use common sense and have a backup for idiot parents. In this specific pool I w

There are many laws against advertising cigarettes for instance. There could be similar laws against unhealthy foods and alcohol. Lets try all these things before we say laws are not effective against these things and evaluate after. In smo

I think this is very naive. The whole reason marketing is so lucrative is because the human brain is so easily exploited. That exploitation is to no benefit of society or the individual and an individual practically stands no chance against

The other option is someone scouring through the mess of commits to find out what should be in the changelog or you have to update the changelog with each commit to the main branch. Which brings you back to the extra step on top of things y

This argument only makes sense if you think of Apple as an entity that has a nationality. It's an internationally traded company that is therefore owned by international money. The stars would have to align in a very special way for 50

That background would make you explicitly unqualified to asses the quality of box plots as a visualization method. Box plots are used throughout various fields of research that are far less mathematical in nature.

Are you sure that well trained audiences are able to accurately asses box plots. For instance, most drivers think they are better than average drivers. It being a staple in statistics is also not a good argument. The information conveyed th

Why would you even use plots at all. You could just show the numbers for the 4 points represented in the box plot and people with proper education would understand. If people need diagrams it's just an education problem with some audie

You absolutely should stop using box plots. The only reason to use them is because you have to draw a representation by hand and do not have access to a computer. A box plot is a data compression technique for compression by hand. There are

I don't think Qualcomm or any of the current market leaders will be the first to do a big RISC-V push. While dealing with the ARM company might be a hassle having an exclusive ISA limits the competition which is good for business. When

There are other ways to make sure people can travel but I understand those are hard to imagine if you live somewhere where you only have hammers.

I don't think building a bunch of year round useless charging capacity is useful. But I also think relying on car infrastructure for Thanksgiving is a bad idea and that hasn't stopped the US.

There are some problems with just showing people the people they follow in chronological order. It limits the amount of accounts you can follow, it buries accounts that post on times you don't reach by scrolling, your timeline can get

This limits how many people you can follow. You can't follow people who occasionally post a banger but also post a lot of stuff you don't care about. I don't think algorithms are the issue but the intent of the algorithm is w

You think taking a military advertisement is value neutral? It's truly a mirror of the culture war you see in other parts of society where people declare things they like value neutral and things they don't like a war on culture.

In the case of an essay the quality can maybe be seen in correct grammar but mostly by the writer being able to convey the story well, make sentences people want read and other things. A cultural phenomenon is not art in my opinion. I think

Production precision is just one of the examples I gave. There are other things that can indicate the quality as well. In this particular case the art is painting and sculpting and those can be done with more and less quality. Of course the

Judging the quality is possible to an extent IMHO. You can see if an artist practiced their skills and techniques and you can see if precise pieces were done with care for instance. From the pictures it looks like there are parts that show
