I agree with you--peoples living conditions should be improving and at a good rate. One thing to consider though, is when people talk about the affordability of anything from X years ago to now, oftentimes those "things" have cha

You are correct. I never said, or intended to say, capitalism was the problem. For example, waste is estimated to account for 25% of healthcare costs. I've worked with with hospitals, and they do things incredibly inefficiently due t

I can go outside and carve a wooden spoon out of a piece of fallen wood. I've just created wealth without taking it from anyone. Even if I had to buy the wood from someone else, I took a $1 piece of wood and turned it into a $20 spoon

Assuming by "equality" you mean everyone is given the same amount of money regardless of what they do or achieve, then no it's not better than bare necessities. A degree of struggle is good for us. It pushes us to become mor

This is interesting. Thanks for sharing. I'm in favor of preventing wage theft. That certainly seems corrupt. I'm arguing that underlying issues like this need to be fixed.

There isn't a finite amount of "wealth" in the world. You can go out and make wealth every single day. The rich obtaining more of it doesn't mean there's less left over for you and I. People need to be able to cov

Income inequality is growing, yes. But are the wealthy somehow responsible for it? Is their "getting richer" directly responsible for it? There seems to be a growing consensus on the left that they are. I have yet to see a con

I appreciate what dkma does--but the steps are still a major annoyance for customers who typically blame the app developer.

Is income inequality a problem? In my opinion, the real problem would more accurately be defined as peoples inability to afford their basic needs: housing, food, and to a degree healthcare. Some might argue to throw education/trainin

Xiaomi's battery management (aggressively killing apps) is horrendous.

So you can only be a software engineer if you studied computer science? Not any other highly technical degree that's regularly hired into software engineering positions?

You're acting like email has to go away if this gets used. Simply use both. There certainly are use cases for this and hearing someones voice can convey things that words can't.

Most of the auth platforms I've used allow ways for you to migrate users off of their platform. You'd want to make sure at minimum you have their email address, but worse case scenario you'd require all users do a password r

I like https://tresorit.com . It's end to end encrypted. Doesn't work as smoothly as Dropbox, but worth it IMO.

Bias measurements are relative to something. It could make sense for you to feel that way, because you and your social circles may generally be more left leaning. What is the definition of "center"? They describe how they come t

I'm 100% in favor of criticality examining on a deeper level. I'm confused about how you disagree with me or how my comment is wrong. I'm trying to encourage people to listen to both sides.

I'm guessing here, but this likely doesn't remove bias. Could they simply refuse to air certain facts? Oftentimes that's all it takes. Pick the facts you report. You aren't reporting anything "false", but th

Both sides have media working for them. Both are bias. https://www.allsides.com/media-bias/media-bias-ratings The issue is people only ever consuming one side.

The officer was killed with a fire extinguisher. I don't mean to downplay the tragedy of his death. But using a fire extinguisher certainly sounds a lot more like a protest gone too far than a president trying to over throw the gover

Do you honestly believe Trump was trying to overthrow the government? Had that been his real intent I'm fairly certain it would have had a more significant outcome beyond people stealing random envelops and podiums. It was a protest t

I disagree. Earlier would mean Republicans have more time to enforce consequences. With looming antitrust cases with many big tech companies, this could be construed as a pledge of loyalty.

Yes some were violent. Yes those who were violent should be arrested, investigated, etc. But I'd argue half the country doesn't agree that the mobs intent was on killing members of congress. And that's the issue. You view
