Correct, I meant to say where thousands of workers mobilized, some of which died or were injured.

No, it's a product of violent riots and union action where thousands of workers died at the hands of police and hired guns.

Ok, so now you're making an observation about medicine instead of hours of work. What exactly is your point here? Things are better now than they were in the past, so there's no reason why they should be better?

There were periods in medieval history when a typical peasant only worked ~150 days out of the year. While you are right that life was difficult, your sense of the past is warped to the point of caricature.

An argument is not always better just because it's more explicit, that's context dependent. People can deduce the chain of reasoning of the latter from the former, making the former a better argument if everyone is willing to thin

God I wish. I get most of my work done in the morning and in the evening. If I didn't do client work so much I would very well switch to a schedule like 3 hours in the morning and 3 in the evening.

Well, my choice of words was tongue in cheek, haha only serious, but also knowing my crowd. Bayesian inference is a popular almost-meme on HN which I thought made my terse flippancy more amusing.

I think having an expectation about someone's further political beliefs based on information about some of their political beliefs is a little less unethical than presuming criminality, my friend. But you're right tho, I think it&

As someone who works as a contractor/consultant most of the time, I think this article is ok. In my position I can't just go around tearing into other peoples' work because I have absolutely no social capital (and I like it t

If that's true then it needs to be explained, i.e. new physics. General Relativity affords uniform expansion through the cosmological constant. Non-uniform expansion means new fields, so either dark matter or modified gravity.

Men and women are more similar than you think and telling yourself that you don't have the mindset of "the opposite sex" already sets yourself up for defeat. It's however true though that men and women operate in very di

MfBe is lowkey easier than MiBe, at least when I was playing. Looks like my last win was 5 years ago, wow! http://crawl.akrasiac.org/scoring/players/danharaj.html

Crawl consumed my spare time for some years, i even got good enough to streak 4 wins in a row. I disagree that it's a shallower game. Crawl is streamlined, yes, but the game mechanics are so finely tuned that at a tactical level its de

One must distinguish human nature, the shared phenomena of our being, and "human nature", the rhetorical bludgeon that ends productive discussion.

I didn't get poetry until I read the textbook Western Wind. It was a positive impact on my life.

That article cites the very same person the submission does! Popularity on the Internet is a subtle thing, especially in the realm of leftist memes. There's certainly a "haha only serious" flippancy to it.

I'm pretty logged into leftist currents and I'm pretty sure this strain of thought isn't as popular as this article makes it seem. > “fully automated luxury communism" This is literally a meme (a pretty dank one in my

What's your justification for that?

The obvious resolution is that all workers should be able to set their work conditions so that they can do their jobs without sacrificing any bit of their wellbeing.
