TIL Woodrow Wilson was a huge racist.

In Europe there are quite a few streets named after him, due to US joining WWI under his leadership.

Imo, the ethical limit is 3.

  1. To live in
  2. For additional income from rental, retirement security etc.
  3. A country or seaside house for weekend/summer getaway

There's no real reason to own more property than that. If you have extra money to invest put it in actual business. Into new housing construction for example you get quite a return on that, and it doesn't make you unethical.

Edit: This also applies to companies. Actually companies shouldn't own any housing at all. Selling at a profit that's acceptable. Owning it as an 'investment' - absolutely not.

Depends on what you define as a religion. Violently forcing beliefs onto others - yes we would definitely be better off without that. Hierarchical structures of power - also yes.

Trying to explain the universe around us by anthropomorphizing natural phenomena? I'm not so sure. It could be seen as useful in the sense of philosophical exploration.

As inspiration for art - it was immensely useful.

Sometimes I read takes from Andreessen and I wonder .. is he human? His statements are what I expect from a poorly acting alien trying to fit into a human society.

I'm imagining conversations with the costume department.

  • So half of the actors will be wearing a full toilet costume
  • A what?!
  • Yes, only their head should stick out, but make it completely mobile. And also appropriate for stunts
  • ...

For a split second that website looked convincing 🙂
Would try if it was real.

It's supposed to be a good practice ... in theory. In practice nobody knows what exists and who's in charge of what and there's exceptions and exceptions to exceptions.

Speaking for software engineering perspective. I see in other comment you're doing process engineering, I assume the term is used in a similar way

In Spain: Goiko.
It's decently good even in absolute terms, not just for a chain

For real, dead animals taste amazing when you grill them
