Unless it’s some utopian value-based family company, the goal of any company will ultimately become to maximize profit and/or growth because that is what shareholders want.

It's a very interesting episode, If you're curious I would advice to listen to it in full. On this topic I perceived 'western' as a proxy for individualistic societies. The argument is indeed that these very collectivistic societies do not consider intent as an important factor. Within those societies shame is also a very important emotion versus the individualistic 'guilt'. One other interesting finding was that self-confidence has no correlation with life satisfaction in those societies.

A country like China would actually be in the middle on that scale, and it was also discussed how it's rapidly becoming more individualistic due to a number of policies, most notably the one-child policy.

They are of course illegal.

Well it’s different as in this case it’s translated from a Cyrillic alphabet. Also, I would be surprised to read Köln in English as an English name exists for the city: Cologne.

Isn’t that clearly stated in the name of the post: It “helps you remember shit you are interested in.”

Personally I run into interesting things all the time, and it seems great to be able to have a place to store them so I don’t forget about them. That’s clear value to me. I’m honestly a bit puzzled how you don’t see value.

For me, I would need an app in order to start using this though. Otherwise it’s just to much of a hassle to add stuff (which means I wouldn’t do it).

Nuclear doesn’t produce any greenhouse gasses, but with the radioactive waste it generates it of course isn’t really clean. It’s also expensive and takes decades to build.

I think it’s mostly liberals that have been spreading this statement. If you take a look at for instance Glenn Greenwald’s latest tweets or statements from the ACLU you’ll be hearing something very different.

Yep. They are an important indicator of how to pronounce a word. I thought the same thing was true in English, but now I’m not sure..

The only way it can change is if the EU forces Apple to do so.

You’re making a value judgement based on skin color. That’s racism. Even if you don’t have bad intentions, the black person in your example suffers because of it.

This is beautiful and also a bit depressing.
