On a similar note, the old testament had a historical purpose - to unite disparate tribes and create a national identity against the threat posed by the Assyrian and Babylonian Empires.

The new testament is just a collections of writings and letters. We have no idea who wrote them, they lied on the cover saying the texts are written by the apostles. And by a pretty arbitrary process, a bunch of priests picked their favorite writings and made them into a cannon.

If the same thing happened today, nobody would believe them outside maybe a fringe cult.

History tells us probably not. Did the US pay anything for the extermination of native americans? Or for the generations of people who lived in slavery? Did Turkey pay for the Armenian genocide? Did Russia pay for the millions of people killed in gulags and the Holodomor?

Above a certain height, trucks should be mandated to have the engine behind, like eurotrucks.

While I agree this is a shit thing to do, I am looking forward to the influx of cheap hardware.

Right now, most corporations are organized like monarchies or oligarchies where the guys on the top make the rules, and the rest just execute them. This would democratize corporate ownership. We spend at least half of our time awake at work. We should have a voice on how the companies we work for should operate.

I'm a software developer, and in the big companies I worked for until today, there is a big disconnect between the decisions taken up high and us, the workers. I've seen so much talent be wasted because upper management only cares about short term profit. Or inhumane decisions like laying off an entire site a week before Christmas.

Just give the shares to the employees who do the actual work.

Alexander the Great gang here. Map is already perfect.

I don't think they care that much. Windows revenue is ~7% , and most of it is probably Windows Server and enterprise/government deals. Source.

Unless SteamOS becomes competitive in the workplace and professional world, it's just a drop in the ocean, too small to matter.
