That obviously couldn’t be a solution, because then people would take and share their stuff elsewhere

You heard that wooosh sound? Well, that was the point made by me flying way above your head.

Seems even you know you have no counter-argument against mine. Otherwise you wouldn’t need to construct a straw man and start beating that, let alone invoke the slippery slope fallacy on that.

If those work conditions would be criminal, all the stuff would be unleashed onto the world instead, and millions if not more people would suffer the same thing.

This article totally sounds like someone just watched the congressional hearing video of Brian Brooks and his explanation of the internet’s history and Web 3.0, and decided to write a story about it, without crediting the guy.

Sounds like just another one of the sociopaths that constitute the majority of CEOs at large companies, and who made it to the top just because they’re sociopaths, and because the f-ed up system we call capitalist free market is constructed specifically for enabling piece of sh-s to float to the top. Despite them alrea…

“The payments are being offered in an effort to identify covid-19 before it spreads uncontrolled in the city”
Considering what stupid things people in general are ready to do for money, I’d assume that this actually would foster the spread of the virus in the city, because desperate people (or people not believing in…

Even if your hypothesis is true, by 2020 it would have been obvious not only to Satoshi himself, but even to any ordinary layman, how valuable 111.000 Bitcoins were. So, if he’d have claimed that he simply didn’t preserve those early BTCs/keys in 2008, or lost them in the following years, because he didn’t anticipate…

It’s totally okay, especially if you’re not bothered the same way or more by Google’s constant nagging to install Chrome when visiting any of their services. What Microsoft does is not any worse than that, and actually it’s 1000x times better, because the only times it “nags” you is when you want to download Chrome,…

These are all really non-issues:
“Has no one ever made a mistake in this challenge before?”
Yes, no one ever made a mistake in this challenge before who didn’t know what they were doing and who couldn’t also finish all of them - and all the others got already killed by the first challenge. At least that would be the…

Low blood pressure = hypotension, not hypertension. And it’s not mentioned anywhere as something considered in the study. Actually, other than explicit advanced hypertension (which they defined as SBP ≥140 mm Hg or DBP ≥90), they did not seem to have consider blood pressure values or distribution at all.

A trivial explanation for the results could be not that coffee actually helps lower the risk of for ex. stroke, but that people with lower than average blood pressure
1. and who have therefore lower risk of suffering from stroke,
2. consume more coffee, just because they have a low blood pressure, and coffee (well,…

If a company has so much power, that it can dictate to states what to do and how to do things, and even make pay for them for what’s actually the company’s product and service, it’s definitely time to break that company up. State officials’ bank accounts should also be inspected.

Sounds like these “researchers” never heard of Ken Thompson and his “Trusting Trust” work, despite the latter being almost 40 years old. Maybe these researches should at least learn the basics before they continue to “research” things?

Others have explained most of where you went wrong with your logic and assumptions. The only thing I’d add to that is, that even if you’d have been totally right about everything (on how important and valuable executives time and work is), it would still not be a good enough reason to allow anyone to increase the…

Fortunately, the more the basic needs of humans will be threatened, the less power “the rich” will have over them, both because of financial and also because of political reason. A lot of make-believe things people now think are worth a lot (but are in reality just duped into believing that, so they can be taken…

Not only that, but a lot (and I mean: A LOT) of people still think that climate change is just a government conspiracy, and are even somehow proud when they can somehow throw a wrench in attempts to mitigate it, not realizing that not only will they also suffer every consequence of it, but they will suffer the most,…

We are still struggling to define “life” in a way, that includes all kinds of life we know and no “false positive” that we know, but do not consider life. Until we have that it’s rather pointless to want to prove or disprove there being life at a specific spot, even if we could actually observe it closely and in every…

“Musk is trying to do better for the planet.”
LOL. No. That’s the image he’s trying to create (and you fell for it), but in reality he’s only in there for fame and money above anything.

“He has almost single-handedly not only created a new, successful car manufacturer for the first time in 100+ years”
LOL. No. For one a…

Must.... resists... the urge... to turn.... this... into... a... “yo’ momma” joke...
