for most of the applications in recreational motorcycling, electric motorcycles aren't really good yet. The rande limitation is too severe.

For commuter use, however, electric motorcycles and scooters outshine gasoline vehicles in many ways. In warmer climates, particularly south and southeast asia, motorcycle and scooters are viable year round commuting tools, and are seeing a shift towards cheap electric models

Scare pieces like this are created by people who have no actual understanding of software.

Software is the automation of conceptual tasks. Some of these, like taxes or text editing, were fairly procedural and automated early. Others, like identifying birds or deepfaking celebreties, are dificult and were done later.

Creating software is another conceptual task, and it might be possiple to automate it. But once we have automated creating software, automating any other task becomes trivial as well.

If this ever comes to pass, there are no safe majors.

15 years ago, a global banking goldrush ended. Satoshi created bitcoin so the next goldrush would benifit him.

Oh, this is the popular conception of anarchy as a political project, but doesn't really reflect anarchist thought much at all.

Anarchy is the project of volentary, participatory, and minimally coercive government. You can't really have "no government" in any largish group of people. What you can do is structure that government to have the least amount of heirarchy and control with the greatest amount of participation.

Counter to popular conception, this actually means a lot of rules, just rules that everyone has a say in making. The goal will be that the rules serve to protect and promote wellbeing while having the minimum impact onthe choices people have available,

One of our right-wing parties has figured out that most people are not as right-wing as it is, but it can still win if only the most extreme people vote. So they try to make voting more difficult even. The opposite of compulsory

Without getting in to the prices at all, there is something to be said for focus. The diner throws together great food as long as great is "salty and fried", but when it comes to more complex stuff, they tend to fall down. The large menu means the time and affort to get expert at each dish is much higher, and with any turnover at all just can't happen. Mom and pop diners can get great at their specialties, but chain diners al_ost always resort to reheating frozen product because of their large menus

Seconding this. I'n interested in stuff I can buy, not stuff I have to hunt for. Communitieslike this are great because we can help people skip hunting through the sea of crap.

If the advise is "hunt for this thing that stopped being made in 1962", for ne that defeats the purpose.
