  • Not American enough for me. When can I vote for corporations in elections? i want to be able to choose between voting for palantir or onlyfans for president

  • I think you're right - and perhaps this kind of housing might even be classified as a Veblen good

  • LeMato

  • I've got great news for you! Even with little money (from a Western point of view) you can still have a huge impact on people in poorer countries

  • Fake it till you make it. I realized everyone is very busy thinking of how they come across, so likely what I worry about isn't that important anyways.

  • Interesting, thank you for sharing

  • How would you store the heat/convert to electricity?

  • We have a similar saying in Denmark, something like "shoemakers kids always have holes in their shoes" but in this case it's more about that the people in the profession don't prioritize their own craft. I've seen this with electricians where whole house is done but electrical sockets aren't installed but for IT I think it's more about distrust towards developers (takes one to know one)

  • They're geographically shielded from Russia by Poland, Germany, France, and probably have less reliance on Russian energy. So having an alliance with USA is less important to them geopolitically. My guess at least

  • From their website it looks like they're "reselling" so, that's my best guess as to why their bill would be so high

  • Nice. One of the ways to write Chaofan in Chinese is 炒饭, which means fried rice. Amazing to be able to get that Twitter handle

  • Not sure this is what social media wants. They want to maximize shareholder value. The teen segment is crazy valuable since a lot of them are able to convince parents to buy them all kinds of shit. Without this segment, advertisers will turn to other platforms and thus remove lots of ad money from these platforms

  • Haha fair point. Don't know if you have kids but I do - Kids are extremely impressionable. So even without social media, but just online videos, some kids (luckily not my kid) go fucking crazy when you say "no more Minecraft videos". And I know there's a lot of parents that don't take that battle, or that simply just don't know their young teens aren't sleeping but instead scrolling tiktok underneath their covers.

  • I appreciate the thoughts you put into the comment!

    I think I have a few comments that's both for and against:

    • it's all about implementation: I'd hope for a token-based "I'm-an-adult" system - you'd be able to confirm age without vendor getting any other info than "this person is of age", and with the government just knowing "you used a token somewhere" but the cynic in me tells a lot of places will use"protect the kids" as a pretext for more surveillance and implement it in shitty ways
    • we're being spied on anyways - this story is about high-level spying, but as far as I remember, they had access to all internet traffic
  • so they shouldn't do the ban? While we're at it, perhaps let's also allow gambling and purchasing alcohol for minors as well since parents should just do the parenting ;)

  • It's great for being paid while working abroad.
