Except he will come to realise the UK relies massively on house prices continuing upward. Construction is 20% of UK GDP. So many people and businesses in the country rely on it.

If house prices fall, or even stagnate, it'll start a chain reaction that leads to recession.

Its basically free economic growth, and UK made it's money largely from empire anyway, so now the empire has largely fallen it's no surprise the country has been cutting public services for nearly 20 years and still isn't breaking even

> The reason big developers drip feed is that they have 100 identical houses in the pipeline

So they'd expedite things to avoid risk surely? Doesn't make sense

> Many of the worlds solvable problems are "information problems

Common silicon valley misconception, but when all you know is a hammer everything looks like a nail. This is similar to the app that was meant to solve a drinking water crisis in some African nation

Man I wish I had half a million to blow "exploring business models"... There is definitely too much money in the hands of stupid rich people

It doesn't even solve the ownership problem... any disputes still get settled in court just like a paper contract. In fact the database with which you store the contract is largely irrelevant to anything. If counterfeit contacts, MAYBE Blockchain has a use.... but even then it's debatable

....wot

I can't take this constant fucking hysteria around meme videos, I've never known such hypocritical bollocks in all my life.

Some girl killed herself because SHE SEARCHED OUT SUICIDE CONTENT and the parents wanted someone to blame and now we all have to suffer this inane bullshit

> if I were a phone-carrying person, I’d be tempted to “just record it and let the internet sort it out.”

Desperate reaching. People who carry phones are bad people, I mean FFS, get real

> Attention economy of social media is not

Because of chungus memes? I think you might be over reacting there bro

> Social media, as we have it today, is not healthy for anybody

Define social media, specifically name the sites you're talking about. And explicitly state the ill health that follows when you consume social media

I'd rather hire a clankers these days

If it's randomised that's not malignant. Optimizing for bait content is just showing what's popular recently. The system only knows it's bait because so many people clicked it (and took the bait)

So why are you upset that it might disappear? Make your mind up

Sorry but how will a return to a hot climate kill all life? +2c and the earth dies? It's apocalyptic hysterical thinking

> Like, do you think I'd argue that any of the previous mass extinctions were good

Without the most recent one, mammals and thus humans wouldn't have flourished... So yes. If you conversely care about those people dying, then you should be celebrating the comet that killed the dinosaurs

Thinkudur chiddrun

> Though I find most fiction doesn't age well in any medium

Shakespeare is so old it's now undecipherable to any English speaker without a cliffnotes explaining it all.... for instance

> feels much healthier

Isn't that how tarot cards and all that bollocks works?

> I know they worked hard on it. That is still a valuable sign

An infant scrawling the alphabet in its own excrement would have that "signal"...

It's only a problem if he decides to do business in UK... Yanks are free to use it over in yanktonia

Don't handwrite your next post and definitely don't start writing in your own back to front cryptic code.

The reality is people don't always care if a human poured their heart and soul into something. Sometimes they do, but not always.

It's like lamented handwritten script when the printing press was invented....

If youre only counting books I haven't read anything for maybe a decade. And I maybe read about a hundred hours in life total before that.

If you include a screen I've read everyday for the past 25+ years

You can burn kilowatts generating 10 tokens, and conversely produce millions of tokens burning very few watts. You're comment is horse shit

Exactly

Some people fear paedos talking to kids, others fear kids watching bad videos or reading bad comments. They are two vastly different complaints.

One is about communications, the other is a more general concern about content that could extend to and audiovisual form.

Yet another definition is essentially a synonym for tiktok. Or sometimes they mean just twitter.

The UK online safety act leans heavily towards communication (ie comments or DMs, hence Wikipedia being caught up in it)

> assume the common meaning?

Which is? Point me to a defintion

"Please politician, I'm a helpless carbon blob who cannot tear themselves away from the bad screen, pwease help me"*

So log off? If you think it's really that bad why are you anywhere near a screen at all?

If you don't like the website, log off, but don't force everyone else to agree with your particular likes and dislikes

> It is very obviously intended to keep people on an app longer than they would otherwise use it.

What are you, protoplasm with eyes? Exert some willpower and get a grip. I've never known such a wimpy whining generation as this one

> now drowning in an endless morass of lazy-loaded blocks and widgets

> so there is zero accountably if the user was shown something that they need to reference

You just sound angry...
