The problem is tying this to the category of felony, which is too broad of a category. Someone who committed something heinous like felony assault, there’s still an easy argument to be made that they should be allowed to both run for office

The goal of capitalism is to get enough money to escape capitalism and live a life of leisure. It’s not weird to want to quit and start a homestead or enjoy other hobbies. That’s normal. The people who want to keep working and refuse to ret

I see a future where there are many more digital gated communities. I don’t mean walled gardens in the old sense like AOL or Facebook. I mean people will create private networks with wireguard or something similar. All the services are on t

Exactly this. If I’m doing something big enough to pay for it, I would almost never choose Cloudflare. But as much as I dislike them, for my small projects there just isn’t an option better than their free tier.

Depends who it is sold to. If it goes to a terrible company like Oracle or Meta, then yeah, it will be bad. If it goes to say, the Apache Software Foundation, that could be fantastic.

Yeah, you know all that oversight and red tape they hate so much and just threw out? All those inspector generals? Their whole purpose was to make sure the government follows the law. It was quite effective. The mistake some fools have made

Even though I have very high moral standards and refuse to work at shady places, almost every place I have ever worked, and places people I know have worked, have committed some kind of fraud. I don’t know if they all met the legal definiti

They have an opportunity to make a news aggregator that is well moderated and doesn’t include bullshit. That seems to be what they want to do. However, I have zero confidence they will succeed because they have drunk the “AI” Kool-Aid. No m

With all these regulations being removed, I see no reason not to just start doing white collar crime. We’re being given permission. Who wants to launder some money?

You have to raise taxes on the wealthy so heavily that they begin to sell their assets. This brings asset prices down. Meanwhile, lower taxes on normal people, who will have more money and be able to buy those assets. This reverses the weal

Sit down and ask yourself this question. At what point will I stop going to your job, if you have one, and take to the streets instead? What has to happen for you to do that? Come up with a serious answer. Write down the answer. Put it on a

I would tell the same story, but the root issue is cars. Housing density would have remained high if not for car dominance.

There are valid criticisms to make of these ToS. However, if someone is going to stop using Firefox because of these new terms, I would assume that person is already not using any products or services from Apple, Microsoft, Google, Meta, et

This is actually a good game idea. If you keep working on it and polishing it, it could be a hit.

That’s true, but I think the primary reason Apple did not include support for it was that it killed batteries on mobile devices.

Really, it’s more about what Apple did with Flash. iOS not supporting it is what killed it.

Work at a non-tech company. Every company has computers. I’ve worked in small business loans, ticket sales, music publishing and others.

I’ve been wondering for awhile, how much does lack of typing proficiency contribute to this problem? There is one co-worker who always wants to huddle if any Slack thread gets busy. In a complete separate conversation they told me that they

The easiest way to move up is to change jobs. The biggest mistake I made was staying in one place too long. Then I changed employers a couple times. Got big upgrades in compensation and negotiated a four day work week. If you don’t climb th

While other countries are a lot better than the USA in many ways, the problem for me is that the USA is where New York City is located. I can go somewhere with better weather. I can go somewhere with universal health care. I can go somewher

The less government services, the more dependent people are on having a job to earn money to survive. The less leverage people have to demand higher wages. It’s the same battle since before the US was even founded. They want slavery, or as
