    Private trackers

    Waiting for freeleech vs downloading right away Since a tracker might ban you, remove the torrent or just shut down it makes sense to get stuff you really want right away and only wait for freeleech for hit and miss content (such as downloading music only because it being 24 bit and 192 KS/s)...

    Private trackers

    Imagine risking your account for 5 freeleech tokens On redacted.ch you get 5 freelech tokens if you invite someone that reaches "Elite Torrent Master". Reaching that takes a lot of work since it requires you to Upload 500 GiB Upload 500 "perfect flac" torrents. Have ratio above 0.65 (will then...

    Private trackers

    People are not being rewarded enough for uploading new content While the first seeder will be at an advantage what tends to happen on sites such as redacted.ch is seedboxes autosnatching the new uploads resulting in the original uploader benefiting less from it than the seedbox who had the best...

    Private trackers

    On being /pure/ and avoiding treebans Your account is /pure/ when you have only been invited to trackers via official channels, such as staff-run applications, or official recruiting threads.

    What went wrong with the US legal system?

    Defaults In the US you lose by default if you do not show up when you have been served a lawsuit, this is a big problem since people may miss that they have a trial to attend to or have other obligations.

    Private trackers

    How to avoid getting banned Obviously read and follow the rules and do not try to cheat them. It might be best not to invite anyone at all since that's only a liability, instead refer your friends to the interview site. Staff may use collective punishments against especially bad actors so it's...

    Private trackers

    The issue with thepiratebay is that often they do not have what you are actually looking for or nobody is seeding it anymore. Often the only way to get your hands on more nieche content is to download it via some private tracker. You might not even be able to buy it legally...

    I often wonder how things would be if the leaders of society were elected via a tournament

    It would likely work better than democracy assuming the same level of compliance with how it's supposed to work (government officials not cheating, people having faith in the system, etc) since the selection criteria would likely be better than random selection and it would reduce the number of...

    Why we need contract reform.

    There are plenty of companies that sells directly to their costumers via their own site. But selling via say amazon FBA might still get you a larger cut than having some retail store buy it and then mark it up say 50%.

    Why we need contract reform.

    Timeshares This is even worse than you think. You basically pay loads of money to be forced to rent a place a week a year until you die. You can also try selling it on the second hand market but then some other poor guy will have to take up that liability instead. Often people end up giving...

    Habitable planets A big obstacle when it comes to trying to establish humanity on other planets is the difficulty in actually reaching any planet that is actually habitable. Most planets orbit around red dwarf but red dwarf tends to release a lot of nasty flares to planets that are too close...

    is there even any merit in voting?

    Theoretically it shouldn't work particularly well for the following reasons. 0. The quality of the voters is low (you only need to be citizen and 18+). 1. The incentive for making good decisions is low due to you only having 1 vote out of millions. 2. The people who vote are not able to...

    Example of 'elites' pushing nonsense: definition of the word planet There was a lot of media attention given to the IAU demoting pluto to no longer being a planet. Instead of providing a general definition of planet they opted for something that would only apply to the solar system...
