Imo this starts to affect productivity. I spend at least 5 minutes every day to click that shit away. Adding the time this costs in my concentration, I'd say I lose easily 10-15 minutes of my daily productivity.
Then add the "Let's see if the AI can do this. Oh, yeah, it can't" and I lose even more time.
How much of the prizes are really material costs vs. investor gains?
On a quick search, it seems wood houses are even more expensive to build in Europe (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S2352710222001012). This is probably not true in the US (which has a very different infrastructure). But if one takes resale value or long time reinvestments into account, I don't think wood houses are that much cheaper, even in the US, as a percentage of the overall investment.
Ok. Thx. I am not from the US and in my 40s. This whole thing of labeling people into categories is somewhat foreign to me. I mean my generation over here did this as well to a degree (and I admit I never got it), but it appears this has become much more dominant thin (at least at the other side of the pacific).
I also tend to aggressively ignore things I deam stupid. But my children will be teenagers soo, guess I'll have to put some time into researching these kind of things.
The situation of trans peoplem in Turkey is interesting. They were much more dominant part of society much earlier than in the west. It was completly normal in many parts of Istanbul to see trans people in the 1980s already. Trans people were also big part of pop culture quite early, Bülent Ersoy for example became a trans superstar in the 1980s. Gender change is legal since 1988 (much earlier than many EU countries).
At the same time, there defintly are a lot of social repercussions against trans people.
Hm. I started using Linux (Ubuntu) somewhat around 2007. And I was quite fascinated how flashy it was with all those desktop effects compared to the rather boring XP. Only problem I had back in the day was wifi, but I didn't play a lot of games at that time.
But yeah, once I solved that wifi problem I had internet, so there was a difference.
Around here most companies just have subscriptions or get to them through university libraries. It is still annoying, I aggree. It is funnier once you realize that they completly rely on free work as well.
That said, standards are imo one of the greatest t achievements of humanity. And if you'll ever be involved in that process, you'll quickly see why this whole thing is expensive.
If you don't want to pay that much, don't curse at ISO, put pressure on your government to provide it for free. Imo well invested tax money.
My personal main problem is that companies sometimes infiltrate the process.
