1920s in USSR.

So-called "dictatorship of proletariat" was simply a terror. Lots of philosophers and religious elite was killed just because they weren't compatible with communist ideology. Rich peasants who didn't even use others labor were either robbed or killed. Peasants lost their land and had to work for the country. People got killed just because some anonyms told they did something bad. I know this because it happened to my ancestors. My grand-grandfather lost his house, communists left only one room for his family. His friends, all good people, dissapeared. His daughters never played with neighbor's kids because of fear. My other grand-grandfather lost land and two horses. His brother was killed for not agreeing to give away his house. And my another grand-grandfather was killed because an anonymous letter. He was communist and thought he was safe as he did nothing wrong. His kids couldn't get education because they were "children of the enemy of the people". Much later my grandfather got a paper concluding that execution of his father was a mistake. It was horrible time, and lots of people thought the ones who were killed were "pests" or "enemies of the people", so killing them was good and beneficial for the society.

Good choise! I have a similar setup: Comandante C40, AeroPress Go, Timemore Black Mirror.

How does it compare to AeroPress? Why do you prefer Hario Switch?

Pocket is good for saving articles for offline reading. While I rarely need it, when I need it, it's super helpful. Also it can be used as a shared bookmarks storage. I don't share bookmarks because I don't want to mix personal bookmarks and bookmarks from work, so Pocket is useful for me.

Relay is a cool thing for one-time emails, but I rarely need it.

I have both and prefer AeroPress because of its precision and versatility (a scale and a good grinder, however, needed). Moka Pot is good too, but I use it for home latte only.

I don't get how they want make those attesters trustworthy. Any attester is installed on a user device, so its "private" key used for verdict signing can be retrieved by a bot author and used to make fake verdicts. Disregarding ethics of the proposal, it just won't work in real world.

What do you think about genetics?

Are there any arguments besides bla-bla-bla? The market just works. How is it bad or wrong?

I think the title is good. It says it's not just Sacher, but Sacher bought in Sacher hotel. That's the most authentic Sacher in the world.

That's not imperialism, that's market. Grower sells coffee for some price, then others add value to the product by transporting it, roasting it, brewing coffee etc. It's up to growers how cheap or expensive green coffee is. Coffee beans of better quality (specialty coffee) cost more.

I heard coffee is less effective if taken immediately after waiking up. That's why I wait for one and a half hour before drinking coffee.
