I think the argument makes more sense when applied to villainize billionaires. Like there’s makes more money and then there’s makes many orders of magnitude more money. You’re much closer to a millionaire than a billionaire.

Then “anyone with money then me” becomes “anyone with 10,000x more money than me” and you can see where the arguments starts to make sense again. Did this person work 10,000x more than me? Obviously that’s impossible and therefore someone must’ve been exploited.

The argument is usually there’s no ethical consumption under capitalism. As in every part of the system is exploitative. The computer he used to program exploited workers and natural resources. The clothing he wore made in sweatshops. All the food made by exploiting animals, etc.

Therefore those with the most money must’ve cumulatively exploited more than others regardless of how they made the money because the exploitation is unavoidable.

I’d also say weapon/spell/tool selection as well. They just don’t really care about their UI.

Your link doesn’t show Switzerland at the top except their network is completely electric.

Having been to both countries without a car, Japan is not subpar in terms of local services. They’re very different though because they have such different size and population densities.

Umm this is Japan…? Is there a place with better trains?

Well maybe they’ve gotten enough nice points they can turn them in for one sex?

If he turned it into a generator and powered a heat pump he could get 2-3x the heat energy than he generates.

HUDs are something I thought would be gimmicky but it’s actually really useful. Eg. for navigation it can show you where/when your next turn is without having to take your eyes off the road. It works really well in my experience.

It looks like it’s passive cooling? I don’t see a fan, which means you’ll need way more fins.

Starship’s last launch had two soft landings, they were just over the water which leads to exploding. That’s as good as can be expected.

Feel like this is what Fisker should’ve tried. The Ocean had the right hardware but it seemed like they spent too much effort on their infotainment instead of getting the basics right. Then target the sub-$30k market with a car that drives well with decent range and fewer gimmicks that just works.

Pokémon Puzzle League! Building up all the chains felt amazing! It’s a feeling I’ve tried to recreate it other similar games but haven’t found one with such a great implementation.

Some SU-27 variant.

The problem with Mount and Blade 2 is that throwing spears are superior to crossbows for mounted combat anyways.

There’s not exactly a path per se as you should be able to pick up whichever is used at your job.

I’ve gone from LabVIEW into C# desktop applications into Android Java into Typescript web front ends all with some other languages and platforms sprinkled throughout.

The most important thing is being ready to learn and pick the right tool for the job.

France’s baseline is nuclear and has been for decades.

Aren’t fluorescent bulbs the ones that flicker?

I agree about the color temperature.

What’s wrong with LED lights?

They probably should’ve gone with simpler software and focused more on the fundamentals. Like they could be forgiven for not having all the self driving features at launch but an unreliable key is pretty bad.

And the lesson is that they probably should’ve blown up more rockets on purpose rather than lose them on accident.

The Falcon 9 has the largest number of successful launches of any rocket ever by a large margin.
