I don’t know what you think I wrote, but I wrote that comment about discounting 98% as a reply to: > If you can't figure out a computer perhaps you're just unfit to participate in the modern economy.

Your larger point is well made, but a nitpick: between the NeXT workstation (the early 90's) and cheap COTS server hardware (the late 00s) was the era of big heavy servers , not workstations. Sun made some really amazing server hardwa

It’s not able to think. It’s just generating words. It doesn’t really understand that it’s supposed to stop generating them, it only is less likely to continue to do so.

I’m pretty sure that is not an apples-to-apples comparison. Most of the people producing value for OnlyFans are not employed at (or contractors for) OnlyFans. I’m sure other gig platforms also do really well ”per employee”. A comparison bet

You’re right! And you’ve written up a very good description of the concept of a fundamentally populist party.

I agree regarding the Christian Democrats. But wouldn’t you agree that both NYD and SD were both founded on populist principles? Apart from racism, neither had any clear cut policies when they started, yet they both got pretty massive boost

True, but please see my reply to the sibling comment. I suppose when choosing between electoral systems, the choice is indeed a matter of the lesser of two evils!

It is far, far more likely that you can get most of your opinions represented in a parliament with 8 parties than one with 2 or 3. In Sweden, in the past 50 years, people with ”new” or fringe opinions have successfully started parties, and

I would say that what you wrote in the first two paragraphs is all equally true of a system with proportional representation. But you’d avoid a lot of problems: - people in ”safe” constituencies being permanently represented by an MP from a

”The lesser evil” is the essence of any two-party system. Which I would somewhat facetiously classify the UK system as. Abolish ”first past the post” and introduce proportional representation now!

Who is “they”, who lost money? I don’t think 19.3 B is their current market cap, it’s only what was sold at the IPo. Anyway, 19.3 instead of 20 would have been no big deal IMO Adobe certainly lost money, because they have had to compete aga

I think merging with equal-sized competitors is sometimes just as bad for competition as acquiring smaller competitors.

I am saying that someone who wants incest porn games reinstated on Steam (the GGP commenter) should create that petition. I’m not that someone; I don’t think Valve has any moral obligation to platform ”any content, as long as it is not ille

That’s exactly the point: getting Valve to remove illegal content would not have caused any headlines. These themes go against common moral standards and so Visa et al don’t want to be seen selling them. You can find the list of removed tit

If there was a prominent online marketplace for homegrown literature, I would bet there would be corporate pushback against selling incest themed porn on it. But I don’t think there is such a marketplace so it’s a very hypothetical question
