Yes some people hold different views on the nature of humanity. That doesn't mean they're delusional, it just means they're different. Personally, no I don't think greed is intrinsic. I think its learned. I also don&#x27

No, this is socialism as best. Not communism.

They get outcompeted because worker-owned companies aren't allowed to be leeches. You can't have your workers own negative shares. But, many companies (especially those really competitive ones!) just... don't make money. It&#

I disagree that a decrease in productivity would make society worse as a whole. For example, the change from Serfdom to a more standard 40-hour work week certainly lowered productivity, but it also made society better. Also productivity is

This only works if you assume we are in a free market. We are not, and no such market has ever existed. Setting up a coop versus setting up a company aren't on equal ground. One has clear legal roads, and the other is perceived as comm

I think key word here is "feel". The reality is that modern products are absurdly complex, and consumers truly don't know what is (and isn't) worth their money. Which is why marketing, making people "feel" a ce

I would argue capitalism just so happened to be our method of progress. It was more so humanities newfound like of education and reasoning that did it. Or, conversely, the decline of religion in the state marked when things started to look

I think micro-aggressions are very real, but maybe the word is a little off. They're not aggressive necessarily, but they are micro. What I mean is that definitely phrases and questions change meaning, a tiny bit, based off of historic

It's not an application, it's effectively a driver. It runs in kernel space. So if it has a memory bug you can't recover, you just panic. Whoopsie!

Mac does it, although that most definitely does not fill the same enterprise role as Windows. It's possible to make userspace interfaces and permissions for this sort of thing.

Solution: don't run software that runs in kernel mode. It's wildly unpopular in Linux, rampant on Android, fairly standard in Windows, and impossible on Mac. We've made this too normalized. Such software is inherently risky,

Right but typically embedded systems run Linux, because while Windows has great compatibility on x86 it's virtually worthless outside of that.

I would agree this stuff DOES happen, but typically in development environments. And I also think its crappy practice. Nobody should ever pipe a curl into sh. I see it on docs sometimes and yes, it does bother me. I think though that the cu

The reason people "can't learn" how to operate alternative software is because we don't give software the weight it deserves. We don't consider it crucial, but evidently it is. When a new surgical technique is stand

It's very bizarre to me how normalized we have made kernel-level software in critical systems. This software is inherently risky but companies throw it around like it's nothing. And cherry on top, we let it auto-update too. I&#x27

I think about this all the time. Like if I kill someone of course I go to jail. But if I get some people together, say we're a company, and then kill 100 people, nobody goes to jail. How does that work? What a huge loophole.

I think having a Linux/BSD might be helpful here in the general case, because the culture is different. In Windows land it's pretty much expected that you go to random websites, download random executables, ignore the "make c
