I can accept the other issues, but archivebox needs be private and secure by default. Sending everything to archive.org is bad default value and it erodes a certain level of trust in the project. Requiring "several important changes an

I don't know how anyone manages to use archivebox. I've tried it twice in the last 3 years and its site compatibility is bad, it quietly leaks everything you archive to archive.org by default, and whenever it fails on a download i

Gyms are notorious shysters who made it difficult to cancel your membership, even when you have the right. Don't blame the consumers for this bullshit. Do as many chargebacks as you can.

The statement is still wrong. Awnings and local architects are both extinct so clearly the architects didn't kill the awnings.

This was written in a very confident way, but I can say with at least as much confidence that my house was mass produced in a factory and assembled locally in the middle of nowhere without any regard for local architecture.

Why not both? Nobody wanted seatbelts until they were forced to use them, maybe we could try forcing people to eat safer food.

If it does turn out that the government has been poisoning Americans for decades, I'd like to see some heads roll.

Unfortunately being good at chess doesn't make you smart. It just makes you good at chess.

It's true. Smart people tend to have a lot of novel ideas, most of which are going to be retarded. Most people just have no ideas.

Are you against subsidies in general? Or just against someone you don't like getting them to actually develop new technology?

It's pretty accurate. Most videos exist just to be passively consumed, like the person you're responding to who listens to it while doing chores.

I'm going to find out a way to automatically hide comments referencing "musk". You can't even read about a 3Blue1Brown video without people somehow making it about him. Every thread, every day, it's just people talk

As an outside observer, I have to notice that doctors and "the system" have lost such trust that people prefer self-medicating with illegal drugs.

In the near future, electric vehicles will be obsolete and we'll be running off rainwater and people will be parking their cars outside to harvest it. California will be mostly unlivable.

Growing up I was fed a false idealistic version of college by every college-educated teacher and adult, and it cost me $40000, so the betrayal in academia was felt much more strongly than work.

This was basically my experience in college too. There was no time to understand something, and tests didn't test your understanding. If you tried to solve a proof for the first time you'd run out of time and fail. You just had to

I agree with that, and it's possible that half of what people buy and want to repair aren't going to be repairable under market conditions. Probably more; most of these cases it's just economically infeasible to repair anythi

It's not that the consumers weren't aware of the distinction between buy and rent, just that companies outright started to lie about the meaning of "purchase".

I'm not saying they pirate it, I'm saying they don't believe in making money off software through selling products, but instead through beggary. They're such a small market share (2-3% on most games) that it's just

All anyone ever talks about is "blindly throwing money". That's what the original complaint I responded to was; This is because we didn't sacrifice enough money to the altar of public schools! If it was just about classr
