The article reads like work of a crackpot. There’s a reason why maths is done the way it is, and intimidating people is definitely not the motivation.

Indeed 44.1 kHz mathematically and perfectly represents sound waves within the human hearing range (by Shannon’s sampling theorem), so you’re limited by the recording and playback devices. The author failed to demonstrate an understanding of how digital sampling works and perpetuates this common misunderstanding despite the wealth of information available in 2026.

It’s well known that some OPEC members cheat nonetheless.

Agreed. It’s a classic fallacy to compare rent vs mortgage on a numbers to numbers basis. It’s classic example of not accounting for the total cost of ownership.

Agreed. Asking the AI to do a calculation isn’t the same as asking it to “prove” a mathematical statement in the usual meaning.

To clarify, it's not "Africa and Asia". Only India, South Africa, and Zimbabwe are still using DDT actively.

I don’t think this is unique to wind farms.

State control over production means instead of letting the free market decide what’s worth producing, the central planners believe they know better than the market (and the 2nd, 3rd order effects) what to produce and how to allocate and price resources and production. It very much removes or diminishes the “market”.

Agreed. You haven’t really won until it stops becoming noteworthy and “oh look X is using Blender!!”

Nobody talks about how Linux dominates the server space anymore. Nobody talks about how “git is winning” or getting “battle tested”. These are mundane and banal facts.

I don’t believe the same has happened to Blender yet.

Exactly my thoughts. A free market tends towards specialization which makes the market more efficient and therefore more competitive. As specialization increases it becomes more critical that one chooses and specializes their career early on. But this is unfair to young people who often have no idea what to do. Hence luck plays an increasing role, which is again the opposite of fairness.

Same here. I’ve recently switched back to Fedora after a long time on Windows. There are so much less distractions on Fedora and I really hope that it stays this way forever.

When did Apple “sue and jail ppl” for “try to look at things properly”? I’m pretty sure Apple isn’t legally allowed to jail people.

I’m glad I’m not the only one who felt the same. There are so many edge cases to the incredibly broad and outdated classification of the world in terms of “north” (rich) and “south” (poor), the terms have lost all meaning. They don’t account for the fact that countries rise and fall. It speaks to the human penchant for short term black and white thinking.
