So take them into public ownership. Then their strength can work for everyone instead of just some billionaires.

"There's no competitive advantage in saving the planet." Capitalists will always externalize costs if they can. Sometimes that means bribing politicians to change the rules or look the other way. It's very nice that sol

Stop trying to make everything a "business opportunity". There will always be a competitive advantage in exploiting people and destroying the environment. People don't burn down rainforests for the fun of it. If civilizatio

I at first read this as "Guerilla Youngsters Seen Dismantling Poachers' Traps." Either way I'm all for it.

The way I like to spin it is: the paperclip maximizer that AI futurists worry about is already here, in the form of capitalism, and we're all part of it. It doesn't care about life; just numbers in bank accounts.

Anyone who doesn't get free parking, or doesn't want to spend their time and money maintaining a personal vehicle, but is coerced into doing so by society that was built around them.

I've done this for a long time, but that's because I'm extra fussy about keeping diffs as small and focused (on the thing I actually intend to change) as possible. It's the same reason I prefer always-use-curly-braces a

It seems to be a 3D world, projected onto a 2D screen, just like almost every other '3D' game. I think they're nit-picking because they think of isometric projections as being less "3D" than perspective ones.

Workplace organizing. It's a lot easier to get people to fight for something when they know they'll benefit from it directly (via higher wages, better working conditions, etc). A unified working class is the most effective tool

First rule of HN groupthink is don't acknowledge HN groupthink. Just downvote anyone who's different.

I googled for 'bitbeam' and found a blog but no description of what it is.

In the US it probably makes more sense to go with an inch-based standard, since it's easier to find materials in those sizes. I've been making up my own 'standard' for rack-mount electronics with an eye towards making i

For the time being, workers do collectively have potential (if we were better organized) bargaining power. Otherwise unemployment would be a lot higher. Which is why we need to organize now if we want a future where everyone benefits fr

Nah, I think it applies just fine. There is a strong culture of building on top of the work of others, and in some cases people build really neat stuff that they could never have done on their own by pulling in years of work in the form of
