I don't understand if this has to be considered an answer to the previous post, it sound more like a reaction

But if

> China is bad because it is a horrific human rights abuser without democratic elections.

What about US where people have SIX times the chances of being shot and killed in the streets?

(1 every 100k VS 6 every 100k)

I mean: safety is a human right, especially in democratic western supposedly civilized countries

To find another country with such bad homicide stats you have to look at undeveloped countries run by criminal cartels or warlords

A bank is not a single entity, it's made of people converging after reaching consensus

There are a lot of banks, with different interests that usually compete with each other and work under regulations that have been discussed and approved after reaching consensus

There are several different central banks, that work together under regulations discussed and approved because they reached consensus

The "decentralised" exchange already exists

Back in the days I was there :)

In late 80s I was actively involved in some of the BBS of my city, that also gave access to Usenet, engaging mainly in cyberpunk, science fiction and C programming

Eternal September is still going on

That's actually a great idea! I would also abolish votes in general and only sort comments chronologically. users could vote and see the posts/comments ordered by their votes that would not be public

The "first" kind of comments are easy to detect, so I think they wouldn't be a big problem

The chances that a post written later in the game will become one of the most voted because it's really a good comment are close to none anyway

Another interesting feature would be highlight and prioritize content written by users you follow, based on some simple rule like how many votes you gave them before or how many interactions you already had in the past

But downvotes are a prize and a status, you have to reach a certain amount of karma points to be able to downvote something so I guess unfortunately they are here to stay

Relevance. if the search results has less relevance and historical data has lower importance compared to spikes in interest at the moment of the search, it's worse

For example medical related searches right now prioritize covid related results, they are important _now_, but they are less important than general statistical data

A general purpose search engine shouldn't be about what social networks talk more about

Any brand wants potential customers

And social networks have hundreds of millions of them

Do you think Coca Cola cares if KKK members drink it and bottles of Coke are shown in pictures of their rallies?

Brand awareness is more important to them

Starbucks cups with name spelled wrong are the perfect example: people think they are funny and post the picture of the cup with the Starbucks logo making the brand more popular

So what seem an honest mistake is actually a well thought brand awareness campaign

There is no way that something that is not enforceable will succeed though.

Plus forgiveness works only on then forgiver side, nothing stop others to keep doing what they are doing after you forgave them.

I would argue that the main reason we get along is laws, not forgiveness.

Any society has written (laws) and unwritten (social rules) norms that regulate the interactions between members.

People don't yell in public, usually, because they've been taught it's wrong and people, generally, tend to respect what they've been taught on certain degrees, especially when it is easy to verify those teachings: nobody yells in public, those who do are reprimanded, it must really be a wrong thing to do.

If you forgive someone yelling at kids because their basketball ended up in their garden you could feel better, but are enabling bad behaviour that should be challenged instead.

I've seen it, several times, and I am both an Jodorowski's huge fan and an avid reader of the books

I'm a dreamer and I really hope that Villeneuve's Dune will bring some of those what ifs to life

Knowing that Jodorowski's work gave us Alien as we know it it's a gift nonetheless

Even though it went through different restoration processes, the original is still the original

Much like the Amphitheatre Nimes is not closer to the original Colosseum, even though it suffered much less damages over the centuries and had virtually no visible restoration (some of the Colosseum ones are quite bad honestly)

The last supper importance is not just the painting itself, but also who originally made it and the history behind it.

They where created more or less in the same "old days"

Erlang is from 1986, BEAM from 1991-1992

In Italy we work approximately 220 days a year, 5 days a week, we have 52 weekends (as everybody else) 24 days of payed holidays and another 10 days of national holidays.

six months, 6 days a week it's about 160 days.

Working an hour and half more everyday day is like working 7/7, so about 185 working days.

It's totally doable.

But admittedly not for a long time and not if you're forced to do it

The documentary about South Park studios production process "6 days to air" is pretty great

I watch it regularly to not forget how to give everything you can in a short time span and still enjoy what you're doing

I learned to work 6 months/year and make a full year salary

I've been working at a more reasonable pace for the past few years, mostly because I'm not consulting anymore, but sprints have become more of a challenge that I still enjoy once or twice a year.
