Haha, the neverending cycle.

Stop trying. Let their story unfold. Let the pain commence.

Wait 30 years and see them being frustrated trying to tell the next generation.


Unfair?

I thought that mountain was mainly climbed by CEO's that let sherpa's carry their stuff?


This isn’t how _normal_ human psychology works at all.

We're talking about sociopaths, not people like you and me.

How much of a percentage that is on that level, we can guess.


Not only does it increase overall production, currently one of our biggest challenanges is transport and distribution, and having some of that power in the of-hours instead has more benefits than power total alone.


How did that VanMoof end up in Japan?

That's quite the trip it made.

Also that must have been in the sweetspot of couple of month between the release of the bike and the bankruptcy, who else would want to transport a "dead" bike that far?


It seems I misunderstood and they did operate at some point in Japan:

The bikes were built in Taiwan anyway, so seems reasonable enough to sell them in Japan.


Vanmoof had a very flashy store in Omotesando


Cam we stop the fearmongering clickbait articles on here please?

Electricity didn't make us bad, cameras didn't steal our soul and trains are not metal bulls from hell.

Just come with proven facts instead of these "could ... blabla... be bad?", yes it could. Now what?


> yes it could. Now what?

Now we have a conversation about how exactly it can be bad, how important those effects are, how they compare to the alternative, what we should do to mitigate or eliminate those problems, …

The article covers several of these points, it doesn’t merely pose the question and leave it at that.


That's just the chicago theme I'va had for years now on my XFCE, I think it's a bit lame to steal that theme (not from Microsoft but the maker of that xfce theme), put it in a repository, give it a different name, and pose it as your own work?

The repo literally adds nothing, just a name change.


> a bit lame to steal that theme

Do you mean reuse/copy/redistribute? Which is what the GPL-3.0+/MIT license that the theme uses is meant for?

> Based on Fedora Atomic Xfce with the Chicago95 theme.

The readme has a direct link out to it in the 2nd sentence, that's pretty clear credit


I think the main difference is that it’s a fully set up installable ISO of Fedora Atomic XFCE with the theme and other tweaks preloaded which is a convenient thing to have, I guess. Also they do credit Chicago95 pretty much at the top of the README.


* No source for the number. * has "mostly from americans" (also no source) * brought to you by the same people suggesting you should get a second job to forget the stress from the first job.


Thats bad! Let's change that! Let's be better than our predecessors! Right?

So, how do they suggest to tackle the problem?

1. Improve the science 2. Update the data

or

3. Somehow focus on it being racist and then walking away like the hero of the day without actually solving the problem.


You'll note that they suggest both.


Yeah, there were voices like this with the advent of trains, electricity, light bulbs, ehm, maybe just everything.


Yeah, if you’re against leaded petrol, thalidomide, CFCs, or asbestos, you’re just a Luddite.


Those automate things that humans find tedious. Modern AI automates things that humans find give their lives meaning. If we automate creative and intellectual work, what else is there?
