What about the remainder of the top 1%? From what I've heard it has a lot of churn, it's not just people inheriting it.

You think they didn't have to apply themselves to be able to acquire those things? They just got it handed to them for free?

A lot of folks wax sympathetic for the employees who've been laid off. But rare is the company which grows large and doesn't develop a lot of entropy in the process. Hiring beyond its needs, bloating, and mismanagement of resource

The topic of AI triggers people in various ways - anxiety and uncertainty about the future, frustration with excessive hype, and the debate between people on each side of the fence. It will calm down once the dust starts to settle and there

Just going to poke you a little for the statement about not having children ;). It strikes me as a little elitist and I'll tell you why: You don't need to have had children to have loved people and to have lost people, and to full

I don't presume to be able to know the value of human life. There are too many unknowns and I'm not omniscient. Perhaps we're immensely valuable - sparks of divinity. Perhaps we're not - mere bags of sentient meat. I don

I'd argue they get paid for their ability as performers and entertainers. It's a craft that often has be developed well beyond their innate personality, and often involves a lot of acting as well.

Well here's a thing - I don't think it's capitalism which made me think this way, or even living in the first world. The first world in my experience is big on preaching the dogma that we're all special and valuable (whe

Interesting. Well, I can only tell you that I'm not lying. I can totally picture and feel how she would feel. I understand the jubilation of falling in love, and I understand the pain of losing loved ones - especially when it's su

Probably a valid criticism. Of course coming up with a better alternative is always where the devil's at.

True as well. I've had similar communal experiences where you get a taste of the old way, the way humans would have operated when we lived in tribes. And on that level I think we are capable of valuing each other as beings - the instin

Being able to see ourselves as something beyond our job (our means of survival) is a luxury. If a person can't provide for themselves the rest goes out the window fast. The only way to ease the anxiety in people isn't with fluff a

It seems to be inevitable that with any new technology we go through a phase of super duper excitement about the possibilities, where we try to use it to the extreme, and through that process start to absorb what it actually is and isn&#x27

One of the challenges with the older methodologies was getting the damned things to look good. I distinctly remember with WinForms having to use DevExpress to get the theming to look moderately modern. Bit I still never bothered with the la

What we call gender dysphoria is really just a cluster of symptoms around people's sense of their identity. But identity as a whole is a very murky thing - if you ask me it's largely an adaptive abstraction that our minds invent.

The idea that none of them are trans for that reason is what sound insane to me. Are you not aware of how much humans absorb from the messaging in their environment? And FYI, I've seen it happen with one of my own family members - some

The more people that use something the more it inevitably trends toward average mediocrity. A lot of these trajectories aren't really for us - the techy folk.

I mean, I don't disagree with the sentiment of keeping trans ideology away from kids, in exactly the way I'd want to protect them from any kind of religious indoctrination.

I've been working on an indie game solo for the past four years. I've had quiet periods and I've had productive periods. But I have worked on it nearly every single day for those four years, rarely for less than an hour. One

Ain't that the truth. It's common to see businesses using systems from the 90s in my line of work, or managing crucial business data and workflows in spreadsheets. Once companies establish a workflow they're often very hesita

That you even describe it as holding concepts in its mind sounds like confusion to me. As does the reductionist idea that human thinking is something crude in comparison.

Opposite, got a lot of it. But I do err on the less sympathetic side - I don't believe in feeling sorry for ourselves or each other under most circumstances. Life is a test of our resolve.

Funny, I always enjoy reading anything dark/morbid/depressing. Tends to have the opposite effect of putting a pep in my step - all those things add flavour and texture to life and make me appreciate being alive.

I don't think it will go away, I think there will remain a niche for code where we care about precision. Maybe that niche will get smaller over time, but I think it will be a hold out for quite a while. A loose analogy I've found

My intentionality is that I'll never let it make the changes. I make the changes. I might make changes it suggests, but only upon review and only written with my hands.

I've always found the marketing around gambling (and most things really) completely disgusting. As a society I think we're far too tolerant of these things. A lot of the ads basically go along the lines of: 'you could win big
