Think about ActivityPub integration, e.g. Funkwhale.

> These notes will vanish in about a week as we cycle in new content - emphasizing the fleeting, imperfect nature of the small web.
Kagi could just admit they don't want to moderate notes or store them permanently. No need to push down the small web, because a lot of small sites preserve their content.
I get that Kagi probably has data indicating the reality of how often sites down, but it seems from my experience that content in big platforms disappears often as well, even in the cases where the creator hadn't forgotten about it. The "Small web" websites made by a creator that cares have the room to be much more permanent.
Where do those notes appear?
It would be nice if Kagi Small Web would have an ActivityPub interface so that the most appreciated sites of a day could be added to a timeline on mastodon or lemmy.

>Will this still be the case in 30 years when India and China’s economies have matured and high paying tech jobs can be found elsewhere?
Even EU can't compete with the US on funding and high tech skilled wages(except London and Switzerland which aren't in the EU), what makes you think India and China can?
> where they’ll be developing the economy of those countries rather than that of the US
To develop companies that can threaten the established US ones you need more than educated capable brains, you need massive amounts of VC funding, which even the EU doesn't hand out, let alone see India and China match not only enough money to catch up with the US, but also to overtake it. Returning Indian and Chinese engineers and scientists means nothing if there isn't tens of billions waiting for them in funding when they get home.
>Returning Indian and Chinese engineers and scientists means nothing if there isn't tens of billions waiting for them in funding when they get home.
China has a huge trade surplus and they are starting to trade in the BRICS currency. Why shouldn't there be billions? Once the investments pay off, why shouldn't there be even billions more?
I don't think it has any benefits to remove children from their parents. That's why I think that was a bad policy.
I think however it would be beneficial for the children if their parents adapted their lifestyle to fit the modern society and better integrate into society. 150 years ago their lifestyle might have made sense, but less so today where they could get better jobs if they had a better education and they could also get support from society if needed. It's sad to see these parents taking away so many opportunities for their children.

Today, there are expats and mobile internet. Doesn't the world change? With automated production processes, workers won't be needed locally. Like many pensioners today, society could change and the majority could travel depending on seasons.
In other words, isn't the sedentary population missing out on receiving advice from hundreds of years of traveling? If the traveling children lack opportunities, shouldn't we find a way to offer those opportunities because sooner or later, many children will be traveling?
Science is, by definition, based on observation and proving hypotheses through that observation. That's literally what the scientific method is all about and how a hypothesis, supported by evidence, becomes a theory, and thereafter a law, based on observable and measurable phenomena.
We all have our pet theories (read: ideas and biases) on the distant past, where we have an infinite number of possibilities; in this universe of possibilities, there is only one possible truth. Some of these observations and theories we might not have even tripped over yet as we literally stumble around in the dark.
Anything beyond that, even to a large extent cosmological theories such as the existence of a multiverse, let alone observations of the distant past, is, by definition, less about science and more about philosophy or even religion.
This knife cuts both ways and we should remember our own biases. In what way would you live your life differently if you believed the opposite of what you believe right now?
>Science is, by definition, based on observation and proving hypotheses through that observation.
Technically, hypotheses cannot be proven because it's possible that all measurements were outliers.

This model works well in countries that already have the wealth to support it, usually from spending centuries colonizing other countries and sucking them dry. It doesn't work quite as well in the countries that had been colonized.
Why? From a cash flow perspective, the monthly insurance premiums should cover the expenses.
That will mean companies won't have any privacy at all (all info will need to be public) and essentially centralize them into a single "massive" world company. It didn't work back then (it's similar to communism in that sense) and I don't think it'll work now (it's every bureaucrat wet dream).
How does public knowledge centralize the control of the companies? Owners would still be in control and there still would be laws prohibiting collusion between companies.
They have $340bn of debt; even if they default on the whole amount, it's only 10% of China currency reserves.
The problem, however, is not the nominal amount but how the company network is inter-connected with other companies (either abroad or locally). This amount, albeit not colossal (by China relative size) could trigger effects in other companies that will lead to their failure. This will go on until it becomes a full international crisis.
Of course, it could mean that just some rich intercontinental people have lost money on some Chinese developer bond. The thing is, no one knows. Not the leaders of the CCP nor the US do have insights whether this can go somewhere to just stop here.
Would it be worthwhile to create the insights?
E.g. if there were a global registry of credit dependencies and ownership, at least for system relevant companies, we should know what is going to happen.
But what is the worst that could happen? If companies fold, ownership will be transferred. As long as the companies are profitable, their business will continue.
TLDR: there's a huge regulatory crisis going on in both the US and China markets (again). Now the failure of 1 large entity can crash entire empire(s).
Basically the same corruption that societies have been battling ever since societies existed.
What's the worst that can happen? It's all just numbers on papers or memory. When Evergrande folds, others will pick up the opportunity.
Why should the government and the non-investors pay for government agencies that enforce regulations? If investors cannot handle due diligence, let them pay private agencies to secure their investments.
Because our mind evolved as a tool for survival of our self which is to say as a tool for survival of that which may pass on the genes which create said mind.
This mind is, by default, full of illusions, full of a particularly biased view of the world and the content of that view does not go away when we stop believing in it and looks to us just like reality.
This is the whole point of meditation, but even if you do not believe in meditation yet, it can be observed in yourself and in others.
In short the statement is only true for the rather small subset of things that can be scientifically investigated and on that level beliefs are not a category of concern anyway. It‘s a statement about the content of the world without an observer, but the observer-world interface is the more interesting part, the observer cannot be removed and any beliefs come from the observer in the first place.
Said mind is not only created by the genes.
