And if it is centralised, what is the point of blockchain? Just run it out a Postgres database.

While on holidays in Sarajevo, Bosnia, I saw a sign that said something like 'take away coffee available'. So most cafes you are expected to sit down and have your coffee :)

> By replacing labour with robots and not compensating them, you're sending a clear message that you don't respect people and the value that they bring.
Wasn't this message sent in the 80s and 90s when it was somehow acceptable to offshore manufacturing for increased bottom line devastating economies and people of small/mid size cities.

Social media companies are really in business of personal data collection. Based on younger generation being so switched on about news I think 'news' are really being force fed into your social feed (rather than you fetching the news). Governments spending tax payer money with these companies are really approving this sort of unethical behavior.

Australia's public education has this selective high school system. At the end of primary school kids could sit for an exam to enter academically more competitive selective high schools. So higher performing kids are being separated from others. During adolescence you are very much influenced and learn from your peers, so could think of it as resource being taken away from lower performing kids very early on.

"Large language models are trained on massive datasets of text data"
Maybe time for internet to start moving away from text and start making it more expensive for mass data collection systems.

Wow. Knew '99 Luftballons' as a catchy song. Just checked lyrics thanks to your comment. Had no clue it was an anti-war song.

'Love of ones fate'. I interpret it as being more accepting and forgiving of yourself and your life. Sometimes we are our biggest critic.
Yesterday there was a post on HN on ADHD and top comment on dealing with it was something like - 'You know you do not need to be a high-performing individual.' [1] I think that is an example of Amor Fati.

I heard someone say - 'Problem with corporations is that most of them are run by finance people and lawyers.' I think they fall into your 2nd group - administrators.
