There are indeed several modified concepts of capitalism, which improve upon the shortcomings of our current system. For example, humanistic capitalism.

If we can’t ditch capitalism at all (yet), maybe we can at least improve upon the current system

Time to ditch capitalism in its current form.

Anything CUDA is first class on Linux with Windows as an afterthought

Not in my experience.

It’s really ironic and embarassing. The most valuable chip manufacturer in the world, thanks to advances in AI and AI research, which is usually done using Linux systems. And yet Nvidia still sucks hard when it comes to Linux support.

That’s my take. And I don’t have a damn criminology degree to come up with that. (Not to say it’s necessarily true, but it rings true to me.)

It’s good that you say that. There are occasions where what seems reasonable, really isn’t after investigating the issue.

Regarding crime and punishment: First, I also don’t specialize in criminology, but I have read a bunch of scientific papers regarding the effect of severity of punishment on crime rates. From what I’ve gathered, more severe punishments usually do not reduce crime rates. A prominent example are death sentences, which virtually do nothing to reduce crime rates. Instead, the danger of being caught seems to be more effective.

However, this does of course not encompass the causes of crime, which can be manifold. It’s not always stuff like the satifaction of basic needs. Take a look at big companies or rich individuals, who commit tax fraud for example. Or people who murder or harm others out of unstable emotions. Would you say they are out of options?

But I don’t know about numbers and associated causes for crime in an average populace. It could be enlightening to take a look at that.
