Interesting you said Abrahamic religions, While impact of chrisianity on Europe, Middle East, Americas has been well documented.

There hasn't been much of discussion or writing about the extinction of cultures, syncretism, open border civs at the hands of Islam.

Greek / Roman / Indian influence in Eurasia to Indonesia is probably another tragedy that the world forgot.

Only pockets like Bali remain from that era now.

didnt use deliveroo at all as i didnt know they were this good

well, it shouldn't be "legal" for one or cartel corporation to mediate between content/data and its users. its downright dystopian.

why is this downvoted? seems very good counterpoint to private companies can do whatever they want.

The reality of the free speech online is that US constitution comes stapled with a "Terms of Service" by tech oligopoly

its strange to Microsoft still in the race after loosing web, search, mobile and much of the developer mindshare

without end to end encryption. this is doa

Cosmos DB on Azure has been doing it for a while now

Hopefully they'll get to alternative tech such as DAGs like the block lattice of Nano or Tangle of Iota.

the scale at China can do things is different from japanese as a function of its population. 10% of japanese population investing abroad in an under connected world in the 80s is vastly different to 10% of Chinese buying up real estate in an connected world with access to lots of resources and information Japanese in the 80s simply didn't have.

Chinese also immigrate into other countries in vastly higher numbers than Japanese.

The japan, china comparison is close to false equivalence
