Animal agriculture is unnecessary? Really?

> What did you do to help it, what did your company do? Did anything help in the end?

My company did nothing about it specifically, but no problems because they give me a really good health insurance plan, so I'm not paying anything to go really good doctors or taking exams.

Currently, I'm seeing 3 doctors to take care of it: endocrinologist, gastroenterologist and physiatrist. We're investigating it because it looks like the pain it's being caused an inflammation pinching a nerve.

Also: exercises, it helps a lot.

Brazilian startup Gympass [1] tried to solve this a few years ago, but they pivoted to start selling gym as benefit for other companies.

> I was planning on learning React, but the fact that it's owned by Meta really holds me back.

May I ask why? React starts there, but it will probably survive Meta. Its a great framework, IMO.

It was the most confusing F1 race I've seen to date.

At this point, almost any "coin" is better than ARS (Peso Argentino).

It’s a monarchy as well.

As a Brazilian, let me give you my opinion:

Universities: are ok in general with a few ones really good, like USP, ITA, UFMG, Puc-RJ, UFRJ and others. It’s really hard to join those but if you’re able to do it, your education will be excellent.

High school: public high schools are really bad, privates are ok.

Basic school: same as high school.

I study my entire life in public schools and when I started my CS degree, I discovered that I knew nothing about sciences and math.

“i think” is what makes it a personal opinion.

It’s a personal opinion, citation is not required.

On the last 15k years, I’m not sure about changes in our own species. That’s why I found the “together” an strange affirmation.

> We evolved together.

The money made with the IP is taxable.

I can support your proposal only if the IP taxes are deductible from incoming tax.

> Whenever people complain about Big Government I like to remind them that any attempt at regulating industries like Big Tech is decried by the owner class as "Big Government", which is often parroted by conservatives, libertarians, and other pro-business groups.

I disagree. Big Government means the government getting into every subject possible. The opposite of this is that you have a government that only enters into essential matters for the well-being of society.

Many fundamental rights that everyone can agree on today used to be rare in the past, so I'm not sure that use this perspective is the right thing to do.

> Our mission is clear - we aim to unravel the magic of FOSS, Linux, and self-hosting to individuals seeking a break from the shackles of Big Tech.

IMO, it's not only Big Tech that poses a threat on privacy and freedom. Big Governments are other threat that, IMO, it's much harder to fight against it.

Why? Asking because I know nothing about crypto yet.

I think they’re thinking like this: “it’s dangerous, but it’s better me than anyone else to do it”.

> Private industry isn't going to maintain huge "burst" capacity.

IMO, private industry produces, the government buys and store it. I'm thinking wrongly here?

I’m not convinced that outsourcing it to private enterprise is bad. Outsourcing it overseas, that’s a really big issue.

IMO, create a policy constraint one person, one account and One company, one account would help a lot about this because it will be much easy to identify and punish those who spread fake news. Anonymous accounts are, IMO, the biggest problem of social networks.

In Brazil:

As a person, it’s super easy to pay your taxes: download the government app, double check the data and send it (it’s more complex to a few people, of course).

As a company, it’s the hell on earth.

At 45 I want:

- be working a maximum of 6 hours as a software engineer;

- and start working as a teacher.

At 50 I want to be working 100% as a teacher and only stop when I no longer have physical or mental conditions.

That’s my retirement plan.

I want that for my bank account as well.

Countries outside the first world usually doesn’t have a free market system in place.

It's past time for the US to do to big tech what it did to Standard Oil in 1911. In fact, new legislation is needed to prevent this from happening in the first place.

And of course, it is also necessary to restrict the powers of the state to end the possibility of a government that can do anything.

A mistake is required to be a “one time thing”? There’s no “continues mistake”?

I do believe he’s super wrong on this subject, but not even for a moment I consider him as a bad person because of that.

So, one mistake is all is needed to fade away all other great things he did?

After Netflix and others streaming services, I stop using Transmission. What’s the current usage of BitTorrent?

> We have the capability, and yet decades of neoliberalism have made governments and the public terrified of any medium to long-term investment. So we've chosen a new Dark Age instead.

IMO, democracy is the enemy of long-term investment. Why start something that will not directly benefit me or my party in the next election? The incentives to long-term investments are almost zero under the logic of elections.
