"If humans pass their cosmic exam as local universe problem solvers and continue on the planet into the twenty-first century, there will be no thoughts whatsoever of earning a living. There will be no thoughts of, or even such words as #business#competition, #money, or #lies for such phenomena will be historically extinct. Such words as #politics, #war, #weapons, #debt will be only of historical significance."

2.4 Gbps over a cellular network? Wow. How's it feel, living in the future? 😀
I have fibre to my house and "only" get 350 Mbps, because their not-quite-gigabit service is crazy expensive. I don't know how much they'd want for 2.4 Gbps, but it probably includes the phrase "and your left <X>".
I have a #BananaPiZeroM2 and whilst this thing can on paper run circles around the #PiZeroW, one can't even force it's HDMI to output something else but 720p60...
I've been trying to advance #sustainability since about 2007. I originally have a background in #engineering and #design, and did a PhD about technological substitutes for critical resources. However, #energytransition has been my main focus.
I firmly believe that broadening #democracy is THE key to sustainability.
Every alternative to #democracy requires steep #hierarchy - some beings having unilateral power to make decisions over others.
And then we're back at the problem of benevolent dictatorship: they invariably become mere dictatorships in short order.
What's more, a hierarchical society incentivises #competition .
Hierarchies force everyone to compete. Either for a higher position, or to avoid losing position: in a hierarchy, those at the bottom are at the mercy of the more powerful.
The heads of Canada's five largest grocery chains have "agreed to work with" the federal government to stabilize food prices, Industry Minister François-Philippe Champagne said Monday.
A crowdsourced competition offered by NIH is seeking new technologies to monitor the health and detect early problems with new babies and their mothers, at the point of care or in the home.
Today was ... interesting. If you followed me for the past months over on the shitbird site, you might have seen a bunch of angry German words, lots of graphs, and the occassional news paper, radio, or TV snippet with yours truely. Let me explain.
In Austria, inflation is way above the EU average. There's no end in sight. This is especially true for basic needs like energy and food.
Our government stated in May that they'd build a food price database together with the big grocery chains. But..
@badlogic good job, well done. I recall that there was a website in the UK that did supermarket price comparisons, but it was shut down via copyright law: the supermarkets licence product images from a third party so when the guy used the same images as the supermarkets to.illustrate the price comparisons, he was threatened by the product image company and forced to shut down.
@warandpeas As a #singer, I once attended a #competition in the U.S. which was held at a nice #auditorium that happened to be part of an elementary & middle school complex. The female restrooms for the event were in the young elementary wing. This meant when #women were seated on the toilets, we could look over the stall walls at each other, as the stalls were made shorter so teachers could look upon their young students to assist if needed. It remains a very memorable performance experience.
A new crowdsourced competition seeks more robust early indicators of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias using analytics powered by artificial intelligence.
If I owned a store, I wouldn't expect to have to ask other nearby stores for permission to sell a product. But turns out Sobeys in Nova Scotia is blocking Dollarama from selling bread.
