Granted, my metric of “good” is an unquantified and very subjective but to me both Bing and DuckDuckGo outperform google search.

This describes my experience pretty well.
You are right that it’s better not to but calling it Russian roulette is a pretty big overstatement.
This is bullshit. I think what you mean is that even a good abstraction can be used inappropriately.
You shouldn’t compound that with the fact that sometimes people create abstractions that are just bad.
A black market for cash already exists. The people who buy it are called money launderers.
If you want the convenience of a government backed currency you’ll need to do so digitally which makes fraud investigation a lot easier. Don’t like it? Bad luck. This is where every fair economy is heading.
I guess that’s why I’m not an entrepreneur. :)
I don’t think this is as the USP airbnb was going for. Companies like Booking.com, trifago.com and Hotel.com existed prior to airbnb and had a pretty decent “human-less” UX.
I thought the usp of airbnb was that everyone with a place could rent it out on that platform. That should increase the supply. It worked pretty well for a while and still does so to a certain extend. Regulations make its service useless in some countries though.
I’m not sure what Uber did to improve the market but they’ve always been dearer than taxies where I’m from. I don’t mind giving a taxi central a call either…
I guess that Legally this would have to be revealed once ACME gets sued. That sounds like an endless game of whack-a-mole to me though.
What does this mean?
I’d rather give a call than install an app anyways.
My experience taught me that taxis are usually around the same price as Ubers in densely populated areas and wildly more expensive outside of those. I’m not very experienced as an Uber user though since I generally prefer public transport.
1. People are not really able to live in rural areas without owning a car.
2. I can’t think of a viable way of last mile transport for goods. Supermarkets can’t really exist without Lorries.
3. Emergency services.
I think the main issue is personal transport by car, Especially in (semi) densely populated areas.
We should abolish it. It is oppressive, hard to enforce and pointless.
I’m not sure how thing will work after we’d do something like that but I’m of the belief it will sort itself out.
That’s the only option left on the table if they won’t shrink the livestock and diversify as farmers.
Let’s be real: it’s not like this legislation came out of the blue. Nitrogen deposition as a problem is something the sector has known about for a while. Instead of diversifying away from nitrogen emission these companies chose to double down on nitrogen washing technology. Turns out that technology doesn’t work.
Intensive livestock in the way it’s happening now doesn’t have a future in the Netherlands. I’d like to go even further and say that it makes a poor investment anywhere in the world.
Farmers are entrepreneurs. Being an entrepreneur means managing risks and they did that pretty poorly as a sector.
A lot of farmers invited the risk and harvested its profits. Had they diversified they would have been in much better shape.
You can’t eat your cake and have it..
Moderns food is pretty good. Just keep your diet varied and sane.
If you are a programmer and feel that dealing with recursion is hard I think you’ve got an opportunity for growth there.
It’s true that recursion is harder to deal with than loops. I generally use loops and recursion for a different class of problems.
Working with trees of arbitrary depth is much easier when using recursion.
When upgrading from a MacBook Pro i7 with 32g of ram to a MacBook Air M2 with 24gb I saw my rspec suite get 4 times faster.
Sound quality is better, artist are getting pay more and I have more music available(Joanna newsom, skeemask)
The feature I miss most is the weekly playlist followed closely by the multiple daily’s.
For a touring musician the modeling route is just WAY better. Recalling your sound night after night without working with sensitive and fiddle equipment great.The bottleneck for sound quality is always FoH and never your rig. A Kemper or helix is the better option for nearly everyone.
That being said, I wouldn’t ever use modeling in the studio. Stumbling upon a great sound when exploring doesn’t happen in the same way. Editing patches becomes a chore and analysis paralysis becomes a force of destruction.
Recalling that sound in a live setting though…
“Everything is automated” is similar to “finished software”. It just doesn’t happen.
Besides that there are many services you want to purchase where interaction with the other is part of the value of said service.
Think of going to a barber or a nice restaurant. Think about education, designers. There is also artisanal products. People pay a pretty penny for a teapot made by a master ceramist even though perfect products are made in much more automated ways.
I’m pretty hopeful about people having to work less. Maybe even about most people not having to work at all. But being able to afford luxuries like having a master chef cook your dinner from time to time is likely to require you do to some paid work and I think there will be plenty of work left for us humans.
Long story short: he spend a big amount of time trying to recover the wallet key and failed. I’d understand someone not wanting to try something like that. It must be pretty demoralizing.
You are not allowed to hide such transactions by law in the country where I am from.
1. Isn’t easy to provide provisions for.(which is how cash payments can be made legal). 2. Doesn’t require criminal activity in Europe.
I think a lot of people are thinking about this with the US tax system in the back of their minds.
The tax system in many European countries is very different. We pay WAY more income tax. That means that the incentives for tax avoidance are much greater. As a result tax avoidance is a European pastime.
I think that a more transparent financial system is a great thing to strive for. Less financial privacy is is likely to lead to. 1. less money going toward lobbying. 2. Less tax avoidance 3. Less hidden wealth. 4. Less/more expensive money laundering.
It might someday even lead to successful taxation of wealth instead of income.
