thing with Mugabe n his government - those guys were mostly just lawyers and other PHDs in things social studies etc

they grew up on communist rhetoric, got support from communist countries - so their main ideology had already failed in the real world. so accumulating degrees without practical experience is a recipe for failure as seen in most african countries.

good thing they're stem oriented. serbia can only go up from here.

vs electing lawyers as done in other countries.

piracy wins again.

even if content providers are paying - it still inhibits consumption as content providers simply pass the cost to the consumer.

imagine netflix vs megaupload. megaupload or any of those or torrents - they could be registered entities or none but they r not gonna pay. consumers will simply get their content from those sites vs the official ones.

none of this instacart nonsense. because it's the actual grocery shop delivering your order - you're not up-charged, your groceries tend to be of good quality no breakage etc cz they want you to return.

with instacart it's pervase incentives all the way down - spoiled fruit - instacart can blame the grocer, breakages same. grocer doesn't even know who ordered.

Google cloud could've been more if they didn't drop the ball.

thing with wordpress - you're dealing with the worst type of clients.

daylight savings came as a result of fuel shortages.

just unnecessary pain of switching clocks back n forth twice a year. people should move on from that system.

chinese memory providers can't come online soon enough.

prices shoot by just choosing the 128gb option and even worse the 512gb option.

he's a wannabe dictator.

yeah - he's shaken u.s institutional protections to their core. but lucky they keep standing. maybe he or someone else will finally make a break through - but most likely it won't be trump due to his incompetency and him surrounding himself with 'yes' incompetent people.

if fly.io has servers based in the U.S by all means the gvt has access to those logs legally and illegally.

over the long run land-leases have proven effective e.g with Shenzhen.

the people that need the land - lease it first - develop it. if you don't develop it - you don't realize any gain from it. thereby removing speculation.

such as ? mind you I love stablecoins but for a person in a normal economy they make 0 cents to use.
