Some people really do thrive on this shit though. They know the rules of the game and want to play it. What they’re really thinking is they’ll be better at the game than their opponents. I mean can you actually imagine the internal monologu

That's not really true on a practical level. For the most part, you can't just buy airline points at the one to two cent price that you effectively get them for in credit card transactions or the even lower price that the credit c

Of course it's not binary, any more than there are two choices between "cheap" and "expensive" The question is how much effort and authority is required to gain access through alternative means, not whether it&#

There's nothing ambiguous about it at all. We had it as our public policy for generations and then bought-off politicians stopped enforcing it. The information is captured the same way as most policy - via statute and precedent, and gu

> I'm not worried about actual violence. Right. That’s something I’ve found that those of us in the modern ruling class tend to have in common. Perhaps we should be. It’s the most common outcome of this degree of inequality and dise

If having your values questioned sounds like "fuck you" then that's on you. What I actually said is perhaps you should think about the people who end up worse off under the system you advocate for. Your call of course but thi

Well at least you're honest then. I hope your team loses because the outcomes here suck and are destroying our culture. And on a personal level, I hope you reconsider your life decisions a little and realize the importance of a culture

This is a story about Microsoft building data centers and people opposing it. So yes, one of the two key players here is the heavily financed tech sector. Starting to think these disingenuous replies are in fact the point here. Since none o

The fact that opposition to one thing looks sort of vaguely like opposition to another thing isn't completely irrelevant information, but you're just missing the actual thing that's happening if you focus on it. https:/

What the hell are you talking about? You are absolutely not allowed to bet on whatever you'd like with another individual. Depending on what you're betting on (for example, the price of a stock or the throw of a card), it falls un

You guys really don't get it, do you? You've got these people going on TV and doing interviews saying that this new technology will be capable of replacing huge amounts of jobs. The people that say that most jobs will be eliminate

What you're saying is just factually incorrect. Data centers absolutely are loud and they're disruptive. They're not good for the environment. They consume large quantities of water, typically, and huge, absolutely staggering

This is broadly accurate, but it can be a little easier to point the finger at the actual culprits, which is Wall Street. The problem is the financialization of everything, and the insistence on ensuring high rates of return above all other

They should be extremely tightly regulated, which is all anyone is asking for here as well.
