I've worked on a product that was built using "Front-end Microservices". Probably one of the harder development platforms I've ever run into. It takes a lot of diligence and uncommon knowledge to do it successfully. For

Getting out of the house makes all the difference for me. Public libraries are a wonderful resource, most have quiet common areas and rooms you can reserve for meetings.

Much of global trade is facilitated by the US military. If that support and protection is withdrawn, people will be more likely to dive into war over resources. I'm not saying the US is _good_ because they prop up free trade. It's

It's not trade, it's US facilitated trade via the Bretton Woods system which has enabled free trade between countries that previously went to war over resources (among other things). Much of global trade is facilitated and protect

Without the US's involvement in global trade Europe & Asia will likely erupt in war again. The US would be immune to most of the violence though.

This sentiment is a part of what drove literacy tests as part of voter law. Making voting harder tends to benefit one political party over another; it doesn't across the board lower turnout evenly. Sometimes it's enough to underst

That's actually far from the truth. A lot of US based businesses rely on cheap immigrant labor.

That just feels like Stallman-esque "lifestyleism". It's okay to be critical of a system while living in and part of it.

I don't think individual contributors have copyright protection on MIT licensed projects? I could be wrong though.

Most social / economic critique is steeped within the system of its focus, which doesn't negate the critique.

Especially with the rise of austerity welfare, some states want to prevent single mothers from receiving benefits if they are sexually active. It's incredibly intrusive.

Someone working in a company that skirts OSHA requirements for short term profit gains has a lot more skin in the game than investors in my opinion. > Utopian projects that amount to taking stuff from property owners and giving it to ide

Which I would argue is only possible _because_ unions have mostly disintegrated. Scabs are a lot harder to hire, especially illegal immigrant scabs, if there's a union around to hold the company accountable.

I agree that stigmatizing trades has contributed to this issue, but we've also simultaneously made trades worse by allowing their unions to decay and be deregulating the industries that use them.

by 49531 8y ago
This is a big reason why unions were created in the first place. Create safer working conditions, and make it possible for people who wear their bodies out can retire.

Does law enforcement actually look at Venmo as a source of evidence? I don't think I've ever put an actual reason for my transactions in the memo box. It's always something silly, and if you're actually buying drugs you&

I don't think the market explains most of those things. College tuition isn't because there is a short supply of educators and high supply of people wanting to be educated. There's not much scarce about it. I would argue that

If you are using economic growth as the key indicator of a healthy economy you are missing most of the picture. We hyperfocus on growth at the expense of other aspects of our economy. If you create consumer goods but systematically depress

There is a lot of anti-union propaganda going on in this thread. I call it propaganda because most of it has no root in reality. Having an organized workforce should be the cost of doing business. If you can only survive as a corporation th

Just because the act of theft happens under the veneer of corporate bureaucracy doesn't mean it isn't theft. The money goes somewhere, and if it isn't to the workers then it is to the employer. You're right that corporat
