me neither, but that's because I used to be a bookkeeper. There's accountants though who have data entry people under them who they market as "bookkeepers," and they are now being replaced by AI. Most small business owne

That's the kind of company I want to start. The looseness, not the sexual inappropriateness.

nono we were dumb because we didn't get to look at dopamine heighteners every 5 seconds, just like the Ancient Romans

Ironically Caesar was merely the culmination of the ever-increasing centralization of wealth & power into fewer hands. He wasn't assassinated in order to restore freedom to Rome, he was assassinated by former elites who resented t

"People can find new jobs when the world changes. It's not pleasant, but it's frankly a lot better than trying to force their old employer to keep them on payroll in a job where they can't do work." This is what you

Except for the fact that the Luddites' labour grievances could easily have been addressed by the factory owners (rise in pay, better conditions) while still offering cheaper fabrics through industrialization. There was simply no desire

by Throaway1982 8mo ago
The Luddites destroyed machines because industrialization destroyed the only living wage they could have. There was no recourse for them other than accepting an even worse quality of life. Neither of your links say anything about cheap text

If the people don't want it then we should just ignore them, sign a NDA and put it there anyways?

He's probably ok with being the 1st martyr in the (valid) war against automatic-car-surveillance.

by Throaway1982 8mo ago
This is such a bad characterization of the Luddite cause, and it's not even close to what they stood for or why they were spurred to action. Please do a bit of actual educating yourself on the Luddites.

by Throaway1982 8mo ago
The Luddites were trying to stop themselves & their families from starving to death. The factory owners were only interested in profit. It isn't like the Luddites were given a generous re-training package and they turned it down. T

Yup, and the abuse of NDA's compounds the issue

its mostly about environmental concerns, but data centres dont add nearly the amount of jobs that manufacturing had

by Throaway1982 9mo ago
Is it? It's my understanding that cooling an AI data centre takes massive amounts of water. Agriculture may be worse but no one is saying they want that either.

should be phrased "when a verb denotes an action, the standard is for the subject to correspond to the agent"

Unfortunately its also entirely rational for Ukraine to want to join an alliance against Russia!

People voted for Trump because he was the only person who actually represented a change from the establishment. I wouldn't have voted for him (im Canadian), but I totally understand the frustration people feel with the political status

Not exactly...in the past the Bible was literally not allowed to be translated from Latin into local languages. Ordinary people were 100% reliant on the elites to tell them what was in it.
55.
by Throaway1982 9mo ago
A little more complicated than that. In the past, the elites said "don't read the religious texts, WE will tell you what's in them."

Not exactly. People just assume & expect the modern assumptions. They are baked into the games and gamer then assume they're correct.

Stop demonizing rural people as flyover moo cows and start speaking to them along class lines.

by Throaway1982 9mo ago
The Dems dont actually do much to reach those rural Americans though.

It's all cultural. The Republicans captured the messaging around "ordinary folk."
