That's fine with me. Let's do it so we can establish precedent then hopefully legislate this in Congress. Baby steps bro, they will all have their moment in the sun soon enough.

This is what I mean, your experience is drastically not the norm for millions of people and I very much wish they didn't have to work but they need to if they don't want to subsist. The economy hasn't exactly been favorable t

I have a family member that is 70 years old, social security is enough to barely pay for their mortgage. They have been trying to get any job for the last 5 years but haven't been able to, most likely due to age discrimination. They&#x

Telling everyone to "start" their own business is hilariously out of touch. This is something the vast majority of people cannot do. You're better off telling people to feel solidarity with their fellow workers, collectively

I’ve seen seniors do the same thing. The root cause always seem to be the same. Pressure to get things done now. No time in the future to correct things. Possibility of getting fired for falling behind your peers that make the same shortcut

What are you referring to by "the question of wine?" Searching online didn't help, unless you meant Dandelion Wine by Ray Bradbury?

I think the issue is when people start replacing their capacity to think and reason with these machines. There was an intergalactic space jihad about this IIRC.

There are plenty of fully remote companies that dominate their niches (Crowdstrike, Coinbase). Leadership doesn’t care. The mistake is thinking that some leadership will change their minds when presented with evidence. That just causes most

The actual scenario is that more wealth will be captured by the elites while hundreds of millions of people suffer or die from poverty. What we actually need is another luddite revolution.

Such is not life friend. Society is whatever we want to be. The rules are made up and we, the people, can decide what society should value. It doesn't have to be this way, it can change. Maybe not in our lifetimes but we plant the seed

This is a grossly unfair comment. Do you really expect someone who had dedicated their life to an academic pursuit to also be CGI experts and filmmakers? Why can’t professionals be allowed to criticize without having others fault them? Edi

That's not an explicit reason. You're acting like they are making custom parts for everything and not buying the same widget as everyone else on the manufacturing line.

It needs to be explicitly shown how and why it increases costs because if anything it feels like the opposite to me, especially when companies use proprietary pieces and hiding schematics rather than open standards and common configurations

I feel like diet as an analogy doesn't work. We know that the only way to lose weight is with a caloric deficit. If you can't do this, it doesn't matter what you eat you won't lose weight. If you're failing to lose

So we should condemn large swaths of the rural population to not only abject poverty, but remove health care access too? Is this what you're seriously arguing? That people should be forced to have a worse quality life, die earlier; all

Usually when people say vote with your wallet, it means those with more money make the rules. What recourse does an individual have if they live in a rural area with 1 or 3 doctors that all use the same hostile software? Should they suffer

Maybe if you think artificially inflating the hype through massive ad campaigns, marketing campaigns, and shoe-horning AI into every product then yeah the world has a reaction to AI. It's mostly been meh, things like Apple Intelligence

Don't be so glum, some of us like watching the rich eat each other for a change.

I'm sure factory owners said the same thing in England in the early 1800s. It needs to be noted that the average person's lot didn't improve until 150 years later. There's no reason why technology can't be decided b

Something tells me that if you asked the store owner that the poster tried to give money to, they'd be furious at cloudflare for stopping the transaction.

Also you know... seeing a job get absolutely decimated by a labor hating President might make future candidates less likely apply to a hostile job where asking for better conditions mean you will lose your livelihood.

What does that have to do with what I'm saying? Today Copilot is being shoved in services I don't want which they are then in turn using to justify cost increases. How is that not consumer harm? Hopefully in the future the FTC wil

I mean forcing copilot everywhere I don't want it (nowhere) while jacking up prices to justify it and using Windows 11 to serve ads is harmful to me. There's also you know... the anticompetitive company that thinks buying new sect

"Not doing consumer harm" is carrying a lot of weight there. Either way what you describe is perfectly achievable for the workers, but at some point management needs to own up to their failures and getting rewarded because the boa

It must be EZ mode to be a big tech executive, you somehow have all the power to make every decision while also having the ability to never take the fault for these decisions.

It's one of the reasons why I stopped reading most nonfiction books (outside of history or biographies), they all take way too long to make their point. It feels like most modern books can get their message across in 20 pages but I sup

Is this the core tenant of agile development? To release often and speak to stakeholders often? The hardest part is deciding when to do that first release I suppose.
